Synopsis

The aim of this book is to provide a global view of the field of human rights today. Cassese proceeds by a case-by-case approach, investigating certain key issues, such as crimes against humanity, genocide, torture, apartheid and mass hunger, using these issues as a means of shedding light on the broader theme of human rights. Drawing on these case studies, Cassese develops a general analysis of human rights in the modern world and formulates an agenda for action, indicating what the citizens of particular states can do to ensure the practical application of human rights internationally.

Revue de presse

′Professor Cassese is an outstanding populariser of academic material. This book displays at its best his exceptional gift for explaining complicated issues in clear, bold language without losing any of the complexities. . . [he] manages to attract our sympathy for the cause of human rights without once losing sight of the obstacles that are strewn across the path to their fulfilment.′ Michael Banks, London School of Economics and Political Science

′Importantly the author has not sacrificed the profundity of the analyses for the popularity of the book. It is enjoyable and useful to read.′ International Relations and Organisations
