Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Johannes Morsink has written a very useful book for scholars, researchers, and students. He presents short histories of the drafting of each Article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, drawn almost exclusively from extensive primary research. The reader has the chance to see how the framers debated various proposals and how they compromised on final wording." * Human Rights Review *
