Human Rights Fifty Years on Author: Tony Evans

ISBN: 9780719051036 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 240 Published: 16 September 1998 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 23.4 x 15.6 x 1.91 Description: This book offers a critical reappraisal of the project for universal human rights. The twentieth, thirtieth and fortieth anniversaries of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were all marked by the publication of volumes that celebrated achievements in the field of human rights. Many of these took a self-congratulatory line that emphasized progress on the protection of human rights, ignoring the facts of torture, genocide, structural deprivation and the routine exclusion of some groups from political, economic and social participation. This book brings together some of the leading critics of the current project for universal human rights, including Noam Chomsky and Johan Galtung, as a counterweight to triumphalist approaches on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration.
