About this title

Synopsis

On August 1, 1975, thirty-five nations solemnly signed a pledge--the Helsinki Accords--to maintain one code of human rights law. This book surveys the performance of these countries in upholding the rights important to scientists--the rights to education, work, communication, expression, travel, assembly, association, reputation and intellectual achievement. It describes where and when the rights were observed or violated and what scientists could do to promote a fuller observance in the future.
