Description: Human rights play a crucial role in 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.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 191-194) and index.
