International Human Rights (Fifth Edition) by Jack Donnelly

Both a text that examines the rise of international human rights policy in the post-World War II era as well as one that offers original and current contributions to the key debates in the field; the definitive resource for students in international relations and international law.

"This splendid survey of the principles and practice of human rights is a welcome contribution to the canonIt is thorough, thoughtful, and comprehensive, providing an essential reference for human rights pedagogy and scholarship. The balance between norms, regime, and cases, coverage of contemporary issues, and dialectical approach make this edition an ideal introduction to human rights." —Alison Brysk, UC Santa Barbara

"The preeminent introductory textbook for human rights courses by leading scholars of human rights…Comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date, with excellent specific problems and discussion questions and a chapter on terrorism and human rights in the post 9/11 world…A synthetic yet grounded introduction to human rights." —Kathryn Sikkink, Harvard University

"The new edition of Jack Donnelly’s classic textbook, thanks to Daniel Whelan’s new participation in the venture, maintains old reliability and seizes new opportunity…All told, it remains the best choice for the introductory human rights classroom." —Samuel Moyn, author of The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History

 

Praise for Prior Editions

"One of the best human rights texts available for the undergraduate classroom . . . well balanced between theory and practice and considers human rights both in different parts of the world and from different cultural perspectives." —Dana Zartner, University of San Francisco

"Examines the evolution of the international human rights regime with attention to the human agency at every level—the individual, the state, and the international system. The analysis of policy decisions that have culminated in action on human rights, or the violation of those rights, is both accessible to the student and true to the complex dynamics of an increasingly interconnected global arena." — Julie Mazzei, Kent State University
