Human Rights

As technology makes the world more accessible, it is increasingly important to develop a wide perspective on crucial issues of global significance. This essential volume takes a look at human rights throughout the world. Readers will evaluate whether certain countries or cultures are falling short on human rights, including the European Unions, Bangladesh, Tibet, Israel, America, and China. They will read about whether certain policies are effective or failing in places like Britain, Myanmar, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Korea. Treatment of women and children is also explored in places such as Haiti and Saudi Arabia.
