Human Rights, Security Politics and Embodiment

by Aneira J. Edmunds

How have human rights been entangled with state control of the body? And how have they failed to intervene effectively on tipping points such as the US's endorsement of torture that removes the victim's control over their own body? This book explores the way institutional human rights have glossed over such abuses and been complicit in security politics which see the Muslim body, especially the Muslim woman's body, as an object of control.
