Human Rights: The Basics

by Thomas Cushman

Book Overview

Codified by the UN, protected by international courts and cited by people all over the world, the idea of a set of basic human rights is deeply ingrained in the popular imagination. But where do these rights come from, and how do we decide exactly what should constitute the rights of humankind? Starting with these questions of definition, this book goes on to explore more detailed questions relating to global human rights.
