This collection of essays explores the notion, tools and challenges of human rights diplomacy.

This book builds on discussions at a high-level workshop on the topic, organised by the University of Nottingham Human Rights Law Centre, the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation and the Adam Mickiewicz University of Pozna, that was held in Venice.
