“Edquist-Whelan and Donnelly’s human rights text combines rich historical detail and deep conceptual engagement with contemporary case studies and practical examples of human rights success and reversal. It is attentive to the contentious politics of human rights and the ways that people and movements struggle for human rights change as well as the domestic and international human rights machinery that has been created to manage their implementation. The result is a comprehensive yet accessible text for students and faculty alike–one that will generate critical engagement and debate over the meaning and practice of human rights in and outside of the classroom.”Carrie Booth Walling, University of Minnesota Human Rights Program, USA“I adopted the previous edition twice after reviewing many alternatives, using it as the primary text for a large, interdisciplinary course introducing first and second-year undergraduates to human rights. It is the most comprehensive, thought-provoking, and accessible book available.”David Cingranelli, Binghamton University, USA"From its inception, International Human Rights has been the gold standard of human rights textbooks. The 7th edition not only provides an update of human rights practices, but it will also actively engage students in the material – and the world around them."Mark Gibney, University of North Carolina Asheville, USA “This book is unique in how it addresses the interdisciplinary field of human rights from an international perspective: situating theories and contemporary practices in their political and historical context. It is elegantly written and clearly organised, with plenty of discussion questions, reading suggestions, and examples of human rights ‘problems’ that bring the material to life. I’m impressed with the painstaking work that has gone into updating this edition, keeping it fresh and relevant for our changing world order. A great textbook!”David J Karp, University of Sussex, UK“Daniel Edquist-Whelan and Jack Donnelly have done it again, updating their leading survey for a new present in which human rights are more important than ever.”Samuel Moyn, Yale University, USA
