About this book
Reviews
“Written in a clear style, even advanced undergraduates will be able to follow the discussion, while human rights experts will find here a rare compendium of definitions, core ideas and fundamental clarifications. Because of its unique achievement in conceptualising human rights studies, Ethics of Human Rights is essential for masters or doctoral students as a departure point for research in political philosophy or human rights education.” (Yves Laberge, Political Studies Review, Vol. 13 (4), 2015)
