Review
Human Rights: The Theme Of Our Times presents the "Benedi Doctrine", wherein Claudio F. Benedi articulates the vision which has made him one of the world's most effective campaigners for the rights of the human being. Benedi affirms that human rights are the unique gift of God and thus beyond the jurisdiction of the state. He also argues that there exist two dimensions to human rights violations: the institutional and the human. It is this analysis which gives the Benedi Doctrine its unique place in the world's human rights discussions today. Already an influential force in the policy debates at the united Nations, the Organization of American States, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the Benedi Doctrine is presented here for the edification of the non-specialist general reader and the human rights activist alike. Human Rights also contains an analysis of the historical development of human rights, case studies of institutional human rights violation, and a compendium of the world's human rights documents. Human Rights is a highly recommended addition to any social issues, international studies, or law and justice reference book collections and reading lists. -- Midwest Book Review
