TRANSCRIPT
The Atlas of Human RightsMapping Violations of Freedom Worldwide
By Andrew Fagan, with a Foreword by Clive Stafford SmithHuman rights have become synonymous with legal, political, social and even economic justice - as a means of overcoming oppression and discrimination irrespective of nationality, class, creed, gender, ethnicity, or even ideological commitment.
As global governments are increasingly using a threat of terrorism to tighten national security, this critical investigation reveals inequities within the various interpretations of human rights and their applications worldwide. It covers a wide range of topics - from unfair detention and torture to racism, rape and child soldiers - and is divided into seven key parts:
State, identity and citizenship | Judicial violations and legal restrictions | Freedom of expression and censorship | Conflict and migration | Discrimination | Women's rights Children’s rights
Dr Andrew Fagan is Deputy Director of the Human Rights Centre, University of Essex, UK. He is editor of the Essex Internet Encyclopaedia of Human Rights. He is currently researching the moral basis and scope of ethical consumerism.
