Examining Critical Perspectives on Human Rights cover

This collection evaluates the crisis of confidence in human rights which underpins understandings of just decision making and liberal democracy.

This collection of essays provides a forum in which both sceptics and proponents of human rights assess what can be salvaged from and what the future might hold for the human rights project in the aftermath of the war on terror.Examining Critical Perspectives on Human Rights sets out a practical and theoretical overview of the future of human rights within the United Kingdom and beyond. A number of internationally renowned scholars respond to David Kennedy's contribution 'The International Human Rights Movement: Still Part of the Problem?' from a range of different perspectives. With its combination of theory and practice of international and domestic human rights at this key juncture in the human rights project, it is relevant to all scholars and practitioners with an interest in human rights.

'As an overview on contemporary challenges faced by the human rights movement, the book is well worth a read.' Anna Chadwick, Public Law
