Synopsis

*Engaging essays by scholars and world leaders involved with human rights
*Focuses on Asia and the Middle East

Adopted by the UN more than fifty years ago, the practical application of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights remains far from ideal. Violations continue while politicians debate the universality and relativism of human rights. Composed of essays by scholars and world leaders including the President of South Korea and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Kim Dae Jung, this book reflects different cultural perspectives and current thinking on enforcing human rights in international relations.

Review

"Whether discussing the universalist or the culturally specific perspective on the nature of human rights, the need for an ethical dimension in international trade practices, or the indispensability of a human rights impact assessment as a foreign policy instrument, Dealing with Human Rights never ceases to challenge and provoke. It reflects the best traditions of human rights scholarship."
