All Peace and Global Studies: Human & Minority Rights

Clemens Nathan Research Centre (CNRC) has rapidly become an important element within the Human Rights movement in the United Kingdom, and beyond.

This major five-volume encyclopedia offers comprehensive coverage of all aspects of human rights theory, practice, law, and history. The set will provide situation profiles and full coverage of the development of the movement, historical cases of abuse, the key figures, major organizations, and a range of other issues in economics, government, religion, and journalism that touch on human rights theory and practice.

The alphabetically arranged entries in Section I cover individual countries. Each contains brief historical background on the nation followed by a description of its human-rights record. Section II covers issues and individuals. Each article concludes with a brief, up-to-date bibliography. The appendixes contain the texts of major related United Nations documents and a list of selected human-rights organizations.
