International Human Rights Part I: Sections A, B & C (International Human Rights Part I & II)

August 2025 Update. This book is a successor to previous volumes entitled International Human Rights in Context (1996, 2000 and 2008) and International Human Rights: Text and Materials (2013). This book examines the world of contemporary human rights, including legal norms, political contexts and moral ideals. It acknowledges the regime’s strengths and weaknesses, and focuses on today’s principal challenges. These include the struggles against resurgent racism and anti-gender ideology, the implications of new technologies for fact-finding and many other parts of the regime, the continuing marginality of economic, social and cultural rights, radical inequality, climate change, and the evermore central role of the private sector. The boundaries of the subject have steadily expanded as the post-World War II regime has become an indelible part of the legal, political and moral landscape. Given the breadth and complexity of the regime, the book takes an interdisciplinary and critical approach. Part I Section A: Introduction to the International Human Rights Regime - Section B: Normative Foundations of International Human Rights - Section C: Rights, Duties and Dilemmas of Universalism
