This comprehensive book offers a multi-disciplinary exploration of international human rights issues, providing a truly global perspective, including the Global South. Delving into the philosophical underpinnings of human rights, Chen and Renteln examine the complexities involved in identifying instances of human rights abuses and evaluate diverse viewpoints on these fundamental rights. The book then proceeds to analyze institutions dedicated to promoting and upholding human rights standards, such as the United Nations system, regional human rights bodies, and domestic courts. It also delves into a wide range of substantive human rights, including genocide, torture, capital punishment, and other cruel and unusual punishments.
In particular, the book provides an accessible introduction to key understudied topics within human rights, such as socioeconomic rights, cultural rights, and environmental rights. Moreover, it emphasizes the rights of marginalized groups, including children's rights, rights of persons with disabilities, women's rights, labor rights, indigenous rights, and LGBTQ+ rights, making it an engaging and invaluable resource for contemporary students.
By examining these diverse aspects, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex challenges and opportunities facing the world in the realm of human rights. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, activists, policymakers, and anyone interested in promoting justice, equality, and the protection of human rights on a global scale.
