Abstract:
This book provides a documents section containing 59 conventions, treaties, and protocols related to the most up-to-date international action on ethnic cleansing, freedom of expression and religion, and violence against women. It offers 240 dictionary entries of human rights terms--ranging from asylum to cultural relativism to hate crimes to torture. Each entry discusses the significance of the term, gives examples, and cites appropriate documents and court decisions.
