DESCRIPTION
Human rights are the natural-born rights for every human being, universally. These are those basic standards without which people cannot live in dignity. To violate someone's human rights is to treat that person as though she or he were not a human being. To advocate human rights is to demand that the human dignity of all people be respected. This book gives an introduction to the concept of human rights -its meaning; rights and duties; general conditions underlying the idea of human rights; theories of human rights and issues of human rights. It will be a useful reference tool for students and teachers of human rights courses, administrators, lawyers, human rights activists, and all other who are concerned with human rights.
