The Human Rights Industry

Beschreibung

"The promotion and protection of human rights is a pillar of the United Nations, enshrined in the Charter, the international bill of rights, General Assembly resolutions and declarations, and buttressed by monitoring mechanisms, expert committees and regional human rights courts. Drawing on more than four decades of working in the field of human rights as UN staff member, rapporteur, consultant, member of UN expert panels, professor and NGO president, Alfred de Zayas examines how the tools of implementation of human rights serve to entrench political narratives promoted by the "industry"."--
