Description: This volume addresses two important issues surrounding human rights in both law and politics. First, it considers the content and form of human rights. Secondly it considers the implementation of human rights.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
This volume deals with two problems for human rights theory and practice. The first relates to the content and form of human rights: what is and what is not to be counted as a human right and what does it mean to identify a right as a human right? The second problem relates to the implementation of human rights: what are the most effective and legitimate means of promoting human rights?
