Basic Documents on Human Rights

There is a constant public discussion of issues concerning civil liberties and human rights. Race relations, the equality of women, general issues of economic justice, labour relations, freedom of expression, the protection of privacy and many other questions will remain prominent in the forseeable future. This volume has been designed to provide a useful collection of sources on human rights in the form of a handbook. Coverage is given to recent United Nations declarations and conventions, European institutions and conventions, the contribution of the International Labour Organization and developments in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
