This new edition of Michael Freeman's fine text on human rights continues to be strong on political philosophy with new references to Locke, Kant, Vitoria, Grotius, and others. His book has been updated throughout, for example with reference to the International Criminal Court and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Serious students of international human rights continue to have a range of good sources to rely on, and this is certainly one of them. David P. Forsythe, University of Nebraska

‘This is a terrific interdisciplinary introduction to human rights. Freeman discusses history, philosophy, theory, the UN human rights system and many of the real-life human rights challenges of the modern era, including culture, corporations and global poverty. I strongly recommend his lucid survey and lively analysis.’ Paul Hunt, University of Essex ‘Serious students of international human rights continue to have a range of good sources to rely on, and Michael Freeman’s fine text is certainly one of them.’ David P.
