Fully updated, the seventh edition of International Human Rights examines the ways in which states and other international actors have addressed human rights since the end of World War II. This unique textbook features substantial attention to theory, history, international and regional institutions, and the role of transnational actors in the protection and promotion of human rights. Its purpose is to explore the difficult and contentious politics of human rights, and how those political dimensions have been addressed at the national, regional, and especially international levels.

Key features include:

concise yet clearly organised and comprehensive coverage of the topics.
substantially revised throughout, including a new chapter on rights-conscious business investment.
new sections on the U.N. Human Rights Council, including substantive data trends on the distribution and topics of Council resolutions and the changing politics driven especially by the agendas of countries such as China and Russia; the implications of the war in Gaza; and “non-traditional approaches” to human rights.
in-text features such as discussion questions, fully updated suggested readings, case studies, and "problems" to promote classroom discussion and in-depth examination of topics.
updated and new case studies on key topics such as the draft Covenant on the Right to Development.

International Human Rights is essential reading for courses and modules in human rights, politics and international relations, law, criminal justice, sociology, social work, public administration, and international development.

Daniel J. Edquist-Whelan is the Charles Prentiss Hough Odyssey Professor of Politics at Hendrix College, USA. Jack Donnelly is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of International Relations at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver, USA.
