Encyclopaedia Of Human Rights

Human rights are 'rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled'. Proponents of the concept usually assert that all humans are endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human. Human rights are thus conceived in a universalist and egalitarian fashion. Such entitlements can exist as shared norms of actual human moralities, as justified moral norms or natural rights supported by strong reasons, or as legal rights either at a national level or within international law. However, there is no consensus as to precise nature of what in particular should or should not be regarded as a human right in any of the preceding senses, and the abstract concept of human rights has been a subject of intense philosophical debate and criticism. The book endeavours to provide all requirements of students and teachers to enable them to achieve success in social work and related activities. If it proves to be of little value to the readers, all efforts and hardships of the author will amply be awarded.
