Human rights is not a static or fixed concept, it is consistently involving or changing. It is like a seed, which, once planted, grows slowly and steadily, putting out roots, shoots, branches, leaves and fruits. But do all people have the same rights. This depends in how you look at it.
The book makes an assessment of what had been achieved in the human rights arena with special reference to the contemporary challenges, prospects and tasks ahead.
