Human Rights for Development

Human rights are what hold together human society in relation to governments or “right bearers”. It is of paramount importance to clarify the roles and limits of civil society in the protection of human rights. Human rights also guarantee people the means necessary to satisfy their basic needs, such as food, housing, and education, so they can take full advantage of all opportunities. Providing a unique and insightful examination into the underexplored issues, this book emphasizes the critical evaluation of contemporary human rights law and practices.
