The Evolution of International Human Rights: Visions Seen

This widely acclaimed and highly regarded book, embraced by students, scholars, policy makers, and activists, now appears in a new edition. Using the theme of visions seen by those who dreamed of what might be, Lauren explores the dramatic transformation of a world patterned by centuries of traditional structures of authority, gender abuse, racial prejudice, class divisions and slavery, colonial empires, and claims of national sovereignty into a global community that now boldly proclaims that the way governments treat their own people is a matter of international concern and sets the goal of human rights for all peoples and all nations.
