The Routledge Companion to Music and Human Rights is a collection of case studies spanning a wide range of concerns about music and human rights in response to intensifying challenges to the well-being of individuals, peoples, and the planet. It brings forward the expertise of academic researchers, lawyers, human rights practitioners, and performing musicians who offer critical reflection on how their work might identify, inform, or advance mutual interests in their respective fields. The book is comprised of 28 chapters, interspersed with 23 ‘voices’ – portraits that focus on individuals’ intimate experiences with music in the defence or advancement of human rights – and explores the following four themes: 1) Fundamentals on music and human rights; 2) Music in pursuit of human rights; 3) Music as a means of violating human rights; 4) Human rights and music: intrinsic resonances.

Offering a critical, comprehensive, and holistic discussion of the validity of human rights inside and outside of religious communities, this book explores the relationship between religious communities, abstract “religion”, and human rights from an ethical perspective. The work also provides a rounded discussion on human rights-obligations and-responsibilities of religions communities and worldview-based communities as well as of non-state actors. Prompting religions and worldview-based communities to redefine their relationship to the liberal state, this book allows for ethical conclusions to be drawn  about other non-state actors, their relationship to human rights, and their means to peacefully coexistence in secular society. The book is therefore an attractive read for scholars interested in the social and religion dimensions of Human Rights and Religions.
