Effective Strategies for Protecting Human Rights: Economic Sanctions, Use of National Courts and International Fora and Coercive Power

by David Barnhizer (Editor)

The second of two volumes derived in part from an April 2000 conference, probably held in either Cleveland or Washington, DC, where human rights activists and scholars from around the world shared their experiences and insights. The 20 papers examine such themes as connecting international human rights standards to abuse in American prisons, the victim-centered approach of the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux, negotiating agency in women's human rights, coping with chaos while acting justly in Rwanda, why the International Criminal Court should have jurisdiction over contemporary forms of slavery, and holding multinational corporations accountable for human and environmental rights abuses.
