Product Description

Synopsis
In a thoroughly revised edition of "Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice" (more than half of the material is new), Jack Donnelly elaborates a theory of human rights, addresses arguments of cultural relativism and explores the efficacy of bilateral and multilateral international action. Entirely new chapters address prominent post-Cold War issues including humanitarian intervention, democracy and human rights, "Asian values", group rights and discrimination against sexual minorities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic introduction, 20 Mar 2007
By Mr. A. C. Hewitt (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great overview of the theory behind human rights and how they function in the context of international relations.

Donnelly outlines a compelling and detailed case, which remains very readable and non-specialist.

Made me think again about the politics of humanitarian intervention. He also critiques fashionable views in the 'cultural relativism' mold with great skill.
