Transmitting Rights

International Organizations and the Diffusion of Human Rights Practices

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Transmitting Rights argues that membership in Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) facilitates the diffusion of human rights standards among their member states--and that this occurs even within IGOs that have no obvious connection to human rights issues. These findings challenge us to think differently about the consequences of IGO membership.
