Peoples' Rights (Hardcover, Reissue)

The right to self-determination has been a driving force in international law and politics through much of the post World War II period. In the 1970s it was joined by a number of other human rights attributed to peoples rather than to individuals, including rights to development, peace, a clean environment, and humanitarian assistance. In this volume, the current and future significance of these so-called `third generation solidarity rights' are examined by leading experts.
