Effective Strategies for Protecting Human Rights: Prevention and Intervention, Trade and Education

by Symposium on Practical Strategies for Human Rights Protection, David Barnhizer (Editor), Symposium on Practical Strategies for Hu (Editor)

The second volume of this work concentrates on strategies for increasing our ability to monitor and investigate, and to force human rights concerns into the rules of the trading regime that is trumping humanistic concerns. Including contributions from representatives of all facets of the human rights community, the book also offers a probing examination of the strategies for educating different constituencies to behave in a more humane way. Issues considered include monitoring and investigation of human rights violations, protection of journalists and human rights workers, the role and limits of the various human rights conventions, and the use of information and communication technologies to improve human rights monitoring, enforcement and prosecution.
