Which nations are best and worst at protecting human rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms?

Are human rights in retreat in nations and regions across the world? How are quality of life measures related to education, nutrition, and political representation integral to understanding human rights in a given country or region? This resource answers all these questions and more. Readers are provided with a comprehensive introduction to the political and philosophical foundations of human rights, and the evolution of human rights movements around the globe. Controversies, campaigns, and laws related to human rights – including access to healthcare, the impact of climate change, and concerns over the rise of authoritarianism – are also explored.

Other features include personal essays from human rights advocates and scholars, profiles of important people and organizations, a selection of primary documents that illuminate human rights triumphs and setbacks in various parts of the world, and a chronology of major events.
