This book is based on papers originally presented at the international conference 'Activating Human Rights and Diversity' held in Australia in 2003. It advances a powerful and convincing affirmation of the importance of human rights in the twenty-first century and explores the vital connections between the theory and practice of human rights.

Rezensionen
«This collection of essays draws the reader's attention to some of those issues, which need recognition and conceptualisation within the framework of human rights language that claims universality and inclusiveness. All in all, it can be a valuable reference for anyone concerned with the theory and practice of human rights.» (Burra Srinivas, Humanitäres Völkerrecht - Informationsschriften)
