At Issue: What Is the State of Human Rights - P

by Tom Head

Book Overview

As democracy has spread in many regions of the world, oppression has only increased in others. Contemporary controversies surrounding the war on terror have brought differences of opinion on the issue of human rights into stark relief. Articles in this anthology address the efficacy of the United Nations, the effect of U.S. anti-terrorism policy on human rights, and the role of sweatshops in the global economy.
