Summary

"Certain fundamental rights--such as the rights to safety, freedom of movement, and freedom of expression--are human rights to which everyone is entitled. This book explores current conflicts involving human rights around the world and surveys the historical development of these rights. It outlines the roles of the United Nations and of the United States in defending human rights on the global stage."--Back cover
