Human rights activists Roger Normand and Sarah Zaidi provide a broad political history of the emergence and development of the human rights movement in the 20th century through the crucible of the United Nations, focusing on the hopes and expectations, concrete power struggles, national rivalries, and bureaucratic politics that molded the international system of human rights law. The book emphasizes the period before and after the creation of the UN, when human rights ideas and proposals were shaped and transformed by the hard-edged realities of power politics and bureaucratic imperatives. It also analyzes the expansion of the human rights framework in response to demands for equitable development after decolonization and organized efforts by women, minorities, and other disadvantaged groups to secure international recognition of their rights.
Brilliant and rigorous Human Rights at the UN provides a brilliant and lucid history of the human rights movement. Normand and Zaidi explain the political and pragmatic considerations that have compromised the movement. The history is fascinating, if heartbreaking. Fortunately, the authors also provide hopeful insights and suggestions for the futur. "Five Stars" according to D@Durham. Love it! Thanks!
