When and why do human rights groups, governments, and international organizations endorse new rights? The International Struggle for New Human Rights is the first book to address these issues." "Focusing on activists who advance new rights, the book introduces a framework for understanding critical strategies and conflicts involved in the struggle to persuade the human rights movement to move beyond traditional problems and embrace pressing new ones." "Essays in the volume consider rights activism by such groups as the south Asian Dalits, sexual minorities, and children of wartime rape victims, while others explore new rights issues such as health rights, economic rights, and the right to water. Examining both the successes and failures of such campaigns, The International Struggle for New Human Rights will be a key resource not only for scholars but also for those on the front lines of human rights work."--BOOK JACKET. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Human rights |vCase studies. 650 7 Human rights. |2homoit 655 7 Case studies. |2lcgft 700 1 Bob, Clifford, |d1958- 830 0 Pennsylvania studies in human rights. 856 42 |3Table of contents only |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0821/2008025520.html 852 0 |bstacks |hJC571 |i.I6362 2009
