Around the world the pressure on human rights remains intense. The complexity and pace of a modern world, and the conflicts and strains it creates continually threaten individuals and groups in many places. This book is the outcome of a major international conference covering all aspects of the progress in developing human rights internationally in the 40 years since the signing of the UN Charter. The Charter is the basis of modern international law, and the internationally renowned contributors to this volume examine the role of the UN in protecting and encouraging respect for human rights, the civilization and religious traditions which contribute to its universal validity, and the international and domestic socio-political and economic impediments for the realisation of human rights.
