International Human Rights

Dilemmas in World Politics

by Jack Donnelly

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 nonstate actors such as the UN and NGO's.

Reviews

[Sayak · Rating 1 out of 5]

Content was fine. Writing style was atrocious — the authors clearly wanted to prove they were smart, but the book just ended up being pretentious and overwritten.

[Eric Heinze · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still a standard introductory work with some valuable background information.
