Human Rights : Practice and Limitations
Human Rights: Practice and Limitations is a well-researched volume on the concept of human rights and the different ways of looking at it in different parts of the globe. Every administrator or ruler moulds it to his own needs. And interprets it in his own way, to justify the oppression and suppression that he inflicts upon his subjects. Human rights are basic and inalienable but this fact is often ignored by the administrators who bend the concept and even its definition to suit their own vested interests.
This book has been prepared to specially place the entire concept and the various dimensions of human rights in a proper perspective and to enable the reader to get a clear view of what human rights are and how they are necessary for the development of civilization and mankind. Accordingly, in keeping with the general outline of the book, the chapters that have been included are:
• Religious Human Rights- The Underlying Philosophy
• Human Rights and Utilitarianism
• Inalienable Rights and Moral Agency
• Rights, Liberties and Morality
• Qualifications of Rights Holders
• When can Inalienable Rights be Abridged?
• Social Contract Doctrines
• Democracy and Human Rights
• Empowering People Against Poverty
A Bibliography has been included for those wanting to know more about Human Rights.
The book will be useful for human rights activists, academicians, researchers, NGOs, and all those interested in the freedom that every person on this earth has a right to have.
