Beskrivning
The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly marked a groundbreaking moment in the field of international law. Not only would it start to move away from its original conception as an exclusively State-centered domain: it would also mark the progressive transformation of international law into a law for humankind. This instrument started a codification and institution-building process that would slowly evolve into a complex framework of treaties, bodies and procedures revolving around the protection of the human being against the actions – or omissions – of the State. This commentary provides a specific article-by-article analysis and reflection of the negotiation history and evolution over time of each one of the rights enshrined therein.

Recensioner i media

"The book contains thirty chapters, reflecting the rights in the Universal Declaration, written by a broad-based and learned cast of authors. [...]The book is helpful inasmuch as the chapters recapitulate the drafting history of the thirty articles, their application in international, regional, and sometimes national jurisdictions, and also consider contemporary issues they are called upon to cover. [...]The book is a useful addition to the literature of international human rights law."Bertrand Ramcharan
