Universal Human Rights? provides a timely analysis and reappraisal of international human rights at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Written some fifty years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the book not only reveals that the struggle for human rights is far from over but also charts the emerging human rights agenda. It is a truly international study which draws on the expertise of fifteen specialists. Following the editor's introduction, three contributors examine conceptual aspects of human rights. The next three chapters deal with various dimensions of the human rights situation in the Asia-Pacific region. Three subsequent chapters consider the impact of the post-cold war environment. In addition, four contributors are concerned with the protection and monitoring of human rights. A final chapter reflects on the quest for universal human rights and provides some recommendations to advance that goal. This broad-based but rigorous discussion makes a significant contribution to the intensifying debate on human rights in the contemporary era.
