{"product_id":"9781626370470","title":"Debating Human Rights","description":"Even as human rights provide the most widely shared moral language of our time, they also spark highly contested debates among scholars and policymakers. When should states protect human rights? Does the global war on terror necessitate the violation of some rights? Are food, housing, and health care valid human rights? \u003ci\u003eDebating Human Rights\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the theory and practice of international human rights by examining fourteen controversies in the field. Daniel Chong presents the major arguments on both sides of each debate, encouraging readers to think critically and form their own opinions. Designed for classroom use, the structure of the book makes it easy for students to become familiar with the major political and legal actors in the global human rights system and to understand the practical challenges of protecting civil, political, social, and economic rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe History and Philosophy of Human Rights.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTHE GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS SYSTEM.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhen Should States Protect Human Rights?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow Can Western States Promote Human Rights in China?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs the United Nations Human Rights Council Effective?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDoes the International Community Have a \"Responsibility to Protect\"?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShould the United States Join the International Criminal Court?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow Should Human Rights Violators Be Held Accountable?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDoes the War on Terrorism Require Restricting of Rights?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre There Limits to the Freedom of Speech?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo Women Have the Right to Choose Abortion?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs Female Circumcision a Violation of Human Rights?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RIGHTS.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAre Food, Housing, and Health Care Valid Human Rights?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo Transnational Corporations Violate Human Rights?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo the Right to Health Justify a Violation of Property Rights?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo Wealthy States Have an Obligation to Give Foreign Aid?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCONCLUSION.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvancing Human Rights Through Debate.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lynne Rienner Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060725629168,"sku":"9781626370470","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626370470_p0.jpg?v=1763866083","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626370470","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
