The Human Rights Handbook: A Global Perspective for Education - Softcover
This practical text provides an authoritative guide to human rights for teachers, students and researchers. It presents an increasingly complex field in a straightforward and accessible manner.
There are chapters on the following key themes: Genocide; Torture; Asylum; Slavery; The right to development; Freedom of expression and censorship; Freedom of religion and belief; Children's rights; Women's rights; The rights of indigenous peoples; Human Rights education.
Each chapter sets out the international legal standards in a selection of key documents and the relevant human rights organizations. The Handbook does not claim to be exhaustive, so each chapter concludes with an up-to-date selection of additional resources for further reading and research.
The "Handbook" will be an invaluable tool to all those working in or interested in human rights.
