International Human Rights: A Comprehensive Introduction
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to international human rights: international human rights law, why international human rights have increasingly risen to world prominence, what is being done about violations of human rights, and what might be done to further promote the cause of international human rights so that everyone may one day have their rights respected regardless of who they are or where they live.
It explains:

- the variety of types of human rights
- empirical findings from statistical research on human rights
