Synopsis

When we talk about human rights today, we are on much finer ground than if we were discussing the "moral" and "natural" rights of man which philosophers have debated for so long. Since 1945 a veritable legal revolution has prompted the installation of a complete, universally agreed code of human rights in international law. This book explains for the general reader what lies behind the code, how it was made, how it works, and what it says.
