Human rights refer to the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. Examples of rights and freedoms which have come to be commonly thought of as human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law; and social, cultural and economic rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education. Our extensive Global Human Rights Law Collection studies the impact of pressing and current important political and legal topics on Human Rights. It is unique in its kind, because the studies undertaken to give an overview of human rights issues according to these topics are extensive as well as thorough. It answers for example questions on which impacts current political developments, such as the status of refugees, cloning and biomedicine, have on human rights. The laws and regulations that are essential for each topic are also debated and mapped out for a convenient use in case of reference.This collection is used as a reference manual on human rights, as well as a legal tool for several academic human rights studies.In this series various parts describe the protection of Human Rights such as; Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, Disabilities, Minorities, Refugees, the United Nations and the Protection of Human Rights.
