"The religion of humanity (human religion) is the greatest of all religions. And human rights are the sacred one which are most natural and fundamental. All human rights derive from the dignity and worth inherent in the human person and that the human person is the central subject of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

It is hoped, this book will prove beneficial to students, researchers, policy planners and social activists in the field." (jacket)
