Description

Reviews

Designed to fill the need for a concise readable account of the development of human rights concepts, this book traces the struggle for human dignity from ancient times through the American and French Revolutions and the fight against slavery. Twentieth century totalitarianism and genocide are also considered. Accompanying the text are many of the documents which form a basis of our modern concept of human rights, from the Analects of Confucius, the Law of Moses, and the English Bill of Rights to the Helsinki Accords, the Genocide Convention, and the United Nations Charter.
