Library Journal
The bulk of the scholarly literature on human rights deals with international law and politics. In contrast, this volume offers nineteen case studies of national human rights practices. Although international factors cannot be ignored, most human rights violations are perpetrated by states against their own citizens; the principal causes of the respect for and violation of human rights lie in national social and political structures.

Reviews
$65. int affairs This collection of essays on the current human rights climate in 19 countries includes Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, Israel, Poland, the USA, and USSR, and represents a variety of regimes, cultural traditions, and geographical areas. The uniformly excellent interpretive essays make this less of a handbook than the Economist's World Human Rights Guide , compiled by Charles Humana (Facts on File Pubs., 1986), which attempts to quantify human rights indicators for most countries. For analysis of the facts, however, this volume excels. A well-crafted introduction describes current debate about human rights theory and practice, traces the development of human rights instruments, and discusses problems of implementation. Strongly recommended for informed readers and specialists. Virginia L. Muller, Univ. of San Diego
