Human Rights Instruments. A Human Rights Compendium

      Аннотация: Human Rights Instruments is a compilation of the major human rights declarations and conventions that are vital in the promotion of human freedoms. These instruments by the United Nations at various times have been carefully crafted to facilitate global peace building and restoration of unity in the world in line with the United Nations Charter. Unfortunately, many students, human rights activists and even policy makers are unaware of these epoch-making efforts by the world body. It is against this backdrop that we can appreciate the vision behind the publication of this book. It will not only serve as a reference material for students, researchers, international relation practitioners and human rights activist, but facilitate the knowledge and teaching of human rights in our schools. This will promote and protect our fundamental rights as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948. This lies the importance of this historic document to the global community.
