Synopsis
The object of this work is to provide a useful collection of sources on human rights in the form of a handbook. The author believes that the service provided by the present collection of materials is not equally well-provided by existing publications. The introductory notes to the treaties and conventions reprinted in this volume give only a general indication of the number of States which have signed the various agreements or which have become parties by ratification or accession. Signature does not normally make the signatory State a party but indicates a provisional intention to become a party. The ten sections are titled thusly: Fundamental Rights in National Legal Systems ~ Standard-Setting by the United Nations Organization ~ Implementation and Standard-Setting in Conventions Sponsored by the United Nations ~ Contribution of the International Labour Organization ~ Contribution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization ~ European Institutions and Conventions ~ Latin American Developments ~ Developments in Africa and Asia ~ The Concept of Equality ~ Trade and Development. It is hoped that this collection will be of help to a variety of readers and not merely to those with specialist interests in political science, international relations, or law.
