The Philosophy of Human Rights, 2007-12-27
This book is a great comprehensive and global look at human rights. It spans both time and culture in its approach. Great for both personal reading and for citation work. Definitely recommend it.

A deep and meaningful journey, 2007-02-21
Hayden does a phenomenal job of piecing together relevent writings from classical works through modern-day multi-disciplinary actors. This work will certainly give you much to consider towards your own understanding and appreciation of Human Rights.
