  The question often asked is 'where is a good starting place for learning about international human rights?' The answer now is Donnelly's International Human Rights. Eminently readable, chock-full of information, Donnelly's book is a must-read. (Human Rights Quarterly) In this new edition, Jack Donnelly updates his classic text on the rise of human rights issues since World War II to reflect the new challenges posed by globalization and the war on terrorism. The third edition includes two entirely new chapters on the Universality of Human Rights and Terrorism, and focuses on the recent emergence of non state actors such as the UN and NGO's.

  Tracing the rise of human rights from the issues which came out of World War II, through the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Cold War, and on to the present day, this book highlights the issues themselves (at Nuremberg and in South Africa, Israel, Chile and elsewhere) and also shows how they link to the central phenomena of international relations. The role of the UN is covered in depth, and teaching notes and essential human rights documents accompany the text, which also includes discussion questions.
