Críticas:

"What makes the Claude-Weston text so welcome an addition to the fairly limited human rights teaching resources is that it approaches the emerging problems and issues in a very contemporary way. . . . In addition to being well researched and organized, the text uses an especially effective system for presenting each topic area. An overview introduces the reader to the relevant issues and highlights the types of questions and concerns to be kept in mind. A series of narrative analyses follows, raising the major problems to be discussed. It must be considered the most thought-provoking, comprehensive and contemporary of the teaching materials now available."-American Journal of International Law "Nicely supplements other available material without duplicating it, and the editors raise many of the most important questions that ought to be discussed in human rights courses."-Human Rights Quarterly "A broad and thoughtful introduction to the field of human rights. . . . The editors have forged a well-structured tool for enhancing human rights education."-Harvard Human Rights Journal "Claude and Weston have prepared the definitive textbook on human rights. The book's annotated filmography and thoughtful questions for discussion after each of the 33 readings make it a unique resource for educators. I highly recommend it."-Eric Stover, University of California, Berkeley "A challenging and valuable contribution for all readers interested in expanding their knowledge of the current, and even future, issues in human rights."-International Law and Comparative Law Quarterly Praise for the second edition: "Excellent articles and introductory commentary on the theory and practice of human rights and the remedies of wrongs."-David Carliner, Journal of Human Rights
