Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the concept of 'principled engagement' as an often overlooked alternative strategy for alleviating human rights violations and improving the framework of human rights protection. Written by leading academics and practitioners, the book takes a general, comparative approach to human rights policy that teases out broad lessons about what works. Ultimately, this is a study that challenges scholars and practitioners alike to take a fresh look at how human rights are promoted internationally.
