Human rights are aimed to preserve human nature and humanity, and to provide humane standards. Human rights translate into international norms that help to protect people from all over the world from severe political, legal, and social abuses. Law and morale are the safeguards of these inalienable rights. Human rights invoke strong claims and even stronger sentiments. To ensure them, governments are directly addressed, requiring compliance and enforcement. This collection gives a detailed and accurate overview of the instruments that have been created over the years to safeguard human rights. The contents of this collection range from universal human rights instruments to continental human rights instruments and discuss the direct enforcement of human rights by international courts and tribunals.
