About This Guide

This Research Guide provides an introduction to the political, legal, moral and social aspects of international human rights. It focuses on general human rights and the treatment of citizens by their governments rather than on the rights of specific groups such as women or children. Works primarily emphasizing the civil rights movement in the U.S. are not included.
