Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice by Jack Donnelly (Andrew Mellon Professor, Graduate School of International Studies, University of Denver, USA)
In a thoroughly revised edition of "Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice" (more than half of the material is new), Jack Donnelly elaborates a theory of human rights, addresses arguments of cultural relativism and explores the efficacy of bilateral and multilateral international action. Entirely new chapters address prominent post-Cold War issues including humanitarian intervention, democracy and human rights, "Asian values", group rights and discrimination against sexual minorities.
