Human rights are always a matter of law, but they are increasingly a matter of politics. Much lip-service is paid nowadays to the notion of human rights. At the same time they are being violated all over the world. Peter Baehr presents a succinct introduction to the key theoretical and practical issues that will serve as a useful primer for students and researchers.
