3. Human Rights Centered Development, Used [Paperback]

Defeating poverty is one of the greatest challenges many countries face today. Countries throughout the world pursue development strategies, plans, and policies, which have thus far been unsuccessful in uplifting the poor from their misery and vulnerability. Perhaps what is missing in current development efforts is a focus, not on macroeconomic indicators but, on the human persons in society, and the full integration of human rights norms and standards into all phases of development. Human Rights Centered Development provides a framework for development policy, planning, budgeting, and programming that focuses on human rights. It contains human rights tools for analysis that may be applied to all aspects of the development process. It presents human rights norms and standards in simplified checklists, outlines, and diagrams. This manual offers the possibility of truly defeating poverty.

5. Disappearing Palestine: Israel's Experiments in Human Despair, Used [Paperback]

Palestine is fast disappearing. Over many decades Israel has developed and refined policies to disperse, imprison and impoverish the Palestinian people in a relentless effort to destroy them as a nation. It has industrialized Palestinian despair through ever more sophisticated systems of curfews, checkpoints, walls, permits and land grabs. It has transformed the West Bank and Gaza into laboratories for testing the infrastructure of confinement, creating a lucrative 'defence' industry by pioneering the technologies needed for crowd control, surveillance, collective punishment and urban warfare. In this insightful and authoritative new book, leading journalist Jonathan Cook examines the many different guises in which these experiments on the Palestinians are being carried out. Accessible and comprehensive, this is a powerful analysis of one of the most enduring and entrenched conflicts in contemporary world politics.

6. European Human Rights Law : Text and Materials, Used [Hardcover]

European Human Rights Law, published in 1990, was the first attempt at introducing American law students to the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, a court that has been remarkably successful in developing and applying a law of human rights that is, in many ways, parallel to the constitutional protections established in the United States. Since the publication of this first edition, the ECHR has cited nearly as many cases in the past five years as from its founding in the 1950s.This second edition of European Human Rights Law incorporates these new cases, a chapter review of structural changes now pending ratification, and a review of changes in the Strasbourg system resulting from the admission of the newly democratic states of Central and Eastern Europe. Also included are chapters on Article 5: the Right to Liberty, and on the application of the treaty in domestic law, focusing on Britain. Thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded, this popular text and materials book places the European Convention within a comparative framework discussing cases from the US, Canada, and the UK. This book will continue to prove popular with students and teachers as a teaching resource and to practitioners as a work of reference.

9. Evolution of International Human Rights : Visions Seen, Used [Paperback]

Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book for 1999 Using the theme of visions seen by those who dreamed of what might be, Lauren explores the dramatic transformation of a world patterned by centuries of traditional structures of authority, gender abuse, racial prejudice, class divisions and slavery, colonial empires, and claims of national sovereignty into a global community that now boldly proclaims that the way governments treat their own people is a matter of international concern--and sets the goal of human rights "for all peoples and all nations." Lauren makes clear the truly universal nature of this movement by drawing into his discussion people and cultures in every quadrant of the globe. In this regard, the book offers particularly remarkable revelations and insights when analyzing the impact of wars and revolutions, non-Western nations, struggles against sexism and racism, liberation movements and decolonization, nongovernmental organizations, and the courage and determination of countless numbers of common men and women who have contributed to the evolution of international human rights.
