Non-Governmental Human Rights Organizations in International Relations

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Human rights play a crucial role in today's international relations. They provide standards to which states must conform when dealing with their own citizens. Non-governmental human rights organizations remind states of their obligations in that field. Without this, human rights would have drifted to the bottom of the international agenda.
