Human rights: Questions and answers

Prepared at UNESCO's request as a model for human rights education, Human Rights: Questions and Answers offers clear, concise, and up-to-date guidance on the foundations of international human rights. The book explains key standards, the mechanisms used to promote and protect rights, the main organizations involved, and major international milestones. 
First published in 1981 and translated into more than 30 languages, it has been regularly updated to reflect evolving norms and recent developments in the field. Richly illustrated by renowned French political cartoonist Plantu—whose work powerfully champions human rights—the volume also examines the principal challenges facing the field today. Accessible to students, educators, and general readers alike, it serves as an essential reference for fostering a universal culture of human rights.
