Description
Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice by Jack Donnelly explores the concept of human rights as universal rights, arguing that any conception of human rights is historically specific and contingent.
The third edition of this influential work has been revised extensively to include recent developments on the international scene. Donnelly defends a richly interdisciplinary account of human rights, demonstrating how conceptual clarity can facilitate action and help to expose the arguments of those who misuse human rights for their own gain.
