About this title

Synopsis

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was created in 1948 as a direct response to the inhumanity suffered worldwide throughout, and following, World War Two. In 2008, to celebrate the UDHR's 60th anniversary, Se�n Love who was executive director of Amnesty International (Ireland) at the time, and author Roddy Doyle decided to celebrate this magnificent declaration, whilst also publicizing the document itself.

Dealing with topics as outlined in the UDHR, the articles tackle the varied subjects of fair trials, prison, torture, war, refugees, but also, education, poverty, health, leisure, employment, and housing. Containing 30 articles with an introduction by Poet Laureate Seamus Heaney, this book is a special commemoration to the work of the UDHR and Amnesty International. In a modern twist, it also features a special 'My article' by popular fictional wealthy former schoolboy rugby player Ross O'Carroll-Kelly (created by journalist Paul Howard) adding to the contemporary worth of this collection.
