This thoroughly revised second edition of Kriangsak Kittichaisaree’s incisive book provides a unique and contemporary insight into the ways in which international human rights laws function in a real world context. Leaning on more than three decades of experience as professor, ambassador and international judge, Kittichaisaree demonstrates how power, diplomacy, tactics and processes operate within the human rights system.

Adopting a comprehensive approach, chapters cover the treatment of human rights in all major cultures, religions, ideologies and global regions and assess the competence of all relevant international institutions. Kittichaisaree examines new and challenging human rights dimensions including the changing geopolitical landscape, the sea and cyberspace. For this new edition, he also brings to the fore the interconnectedness of human rights with global pandemics and climate change.

A vital resource for students and scholars of human rights across the fields of public international law, politics and international relations, this book is also useful reading for government officials and practitioners working with NGOs.
