Reviews for A Handbook of International Human Rights Terminology
Mark Massoud, International Journal on World Peace. International Journal on World Peace "The Handbook is a helpful, wide ranging aide to the study and understanding of human rights. It is designed for those just beginning their studies in human rights, especially to help them understand the sometimes complex language of human rights discourse... The wide selection of terms being defined should answer the needs of most students
and many practitioners."
