"Human rights are based on humankind\'s increasing demand for a life in which the inherent dignity and worth of each human being are accorded respect and protection. They allow us to develop fully and use human qualities, intelligence, talents and conscience and to satisfy spiritual and other needs.

The scope and categories of human rights are comprehensively narrated in the present volume. Students, teachers and researchers, policy-planners and human rights activists will find this book most useful." (jacket)
