Description
Book SynopsisHuman rights and humanitarian diplomacy provides an up to date and accessible overview of the field, and serves as a practical guide to those seeking to engage in human rights work. Pease argues that while human rights are internationally recognised, important disagreements exist on definition, priority and implementation. With the help of human rights diplomacy, these differences can be bridged, and a new generation of human rights professionals will build better relationships.
Trade Review‘Kelly-Kate Pease spells out with passion yet precision why controversy will continue to surround negotiations, but she also indicates how to make a difference in the next decade.’
