Bu kitap, 1980 yılında yapılan, insan haklarına ilişkin bir uluslararası seminerde sunulan bildirilerden oluşuyor. Yirmi yıl sonra, o zaman söylenenleri okuyan için öğretici bir kitap olsa gerek. Dünyada ve Türkiye'de hangi konularda yol alındığını, hangilerinde yerinde sayıldığını görmemize yardımcı olabilecek bir kitaptır.
