Note:"The third edition of The Human Rights Reader presents a dramatically revised organization and updated selections that illustrate the global history of human rights and present debates, and issues of inclusiveness central to those eras. This edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of essays, speeches, and documents from historical and contemporary sources, all of which are now placed in context with Micheline Ishay's substantial introduction to the reader as a whole and valuable introductions to each part and chapter."-- Provided by publisher.
