In this clear and well-written account, the author explores the many facets of the complex issue of human rights from the origins of the concept through to a discussion of individual/small group action at local, national and international level. Beginning with an explanation of the nature of human rights by using a fictional society where rights are not recognised, the book goes on to examine a series of case studies, focusing on Central and Latin America, the USSR and Cuba, and the UK and Norway. The final section considers the defence of human rights with illuminating chapters on the failures and successes of such bodies as Amnesty International, the UN and the European Commission on Human Rights.
