The 20th century has been described as the bloodiest in human history, but it was also the century in which people around the world embraced ideas of democracy and human rights as never before, constructing social, political and legal institutions seeking to contain human behaviour. Todd Landman offers an optimistic, yet cautionary tale of these developments, drawing on the literature, from politics, international relations and international law. He celebrates the global turn from tyranny and violence towards democracy and rights but also warns of the precariousness of these achievements in the face of democratic setbacks and the undermining of rights commitments by many countries during the so-called 'War on Terror'.

Ours has been called a global "age of rights," an era in which respect for human rights is considered the highest aspiration of the international democratic community. Since the United Nation's 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a wide variety of protections—civil, political, economic, social, and cultural—have been given legal validation as countries ratify treaties, participate in intergovernmental organizations, and establish human rights tribunals and truth and reconciliation commissions. Yet notable human rights failures have marred the post-Declaration era, including ongoing state violence toward citizens, the selectivity of humanitarian intervention (evidenced by the international community's failure to respond in Rwanda), and recent legislation in advanced democracies that trades some rights for protection against the threat of terrorism. How are we to reconcile the language of rights with the reality? Do we live in an age of rights after all? In Protecting Human Rights, Todd Landman provides a unique quantitative analysis of the marked gap between the principle and practice of human rights. Applying theories and methods from the fields of international law, international relations, and comparative politics, Landman examines data from 193 countries over 25 years (1976-2000) to assess the growth of the international human rights regime, the effect of law on actual protection, and global variation in human rights norms. Landman contends that human rights foreign policy remains based more on geo-strategic interest than moral internationalism. He argues that the influence human rights ideals have begun to have on states cannot be separated from the broader impact of socioeconomic changes that swept the globe in the late twentieth century. Landman concludes that international law alone will not suffice to fully protect human rights—it must be accompanied by democratic government, effective conflict resolution, and just economic systems.

The era of technology in which we reside has ushered in a more globalized and connected world. While many benefits are gained from this connectivity, possible disadvantages to issues of human rights are developed as well. Defending Human Rights and Democracy in the Era of Globalization is a pivotal resource for the latest research on the effects of a globalized society regarding issues relating to social ethics and civil rights. Highlighting relevant concepts on political autonomy, migration, and asylum, this book is ideally designed for academicians, professionals, practitioners, and upper-level students interested in the ongoing concerns of human rights.

This book includes a set of studies and reflections that have emerged since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Encompassing a number of human rights, such as the right to environmental protection, the right to humanitarian aid, and the right to democratic governance, this collection focuses on issues and areas that were not originally mentioned or foreseen in the Declaration but that have since developed into salient topics. These developing rights are considered in the light of contemporary national and international law, as well as against the wider picture and the contexts in which human rights may have effect. Moreover, the topics covered take in a wide range of research fields, including law, politics and criminology. Emerging Areas of Human Rights in the 21st Century is aimed primarily at undergraduate and postgraduate students, and scholars interested in international law, human rights and politics.

In her new book Carol Gould addresses the fundamental issue of democratizing globalization, that is to say of finding ways to open transnational institutions and communities to democratic participation by those widely affected by their decisions.The book develops a framework for expanding participation in crossborder decisions, arguing for a broader understanding of human rights and introducing a new role for the ideas of care and solidarity at a distance. Accessibly written with a minimum of technical jargon this is a major new contribution to political philosophy.

The work focuses on the analysis of the process of democratisation, starting from the illustration of the principles of self-determination and democracy and their sources, and ending with two cases studies: The Libyan and the Haitian situations. The work begins with the Tom Franck's article entitled "The Emerging Right to Democratic Governance", published in 1992 in the American Journal of International Law, as it has initiated an important debate on the relationship between international law and democracy. The author analyses how, in occasion of the attempted coup in Russia and of the successful overthrow of elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti, respectively in August and September 1991, international organizations gave an unprecedented response. In both cases "the leaders of states constituting the international community vigorously asserted that only democracy validates governance." Furthermore, Franck claimed either that legitimacy of governments was no longer a matter of national arrangements, but of international law or that democratic governance was becoming an enforceable entitlement. Hence, this study is aiming to examine the three 'building blocks' identified by Franck as fundamental features of democracy, that is to say, the principle of self-determination, the right to 'free political expression' and the right to 'free and fair periodic elections'. The right of self-determination is mentioned in the United Nations Charter in Article 1 (2), a programmatic rule which refers to self-determination as a 'purpose' on the United Nations. Being friendly relations among nations one of the core purposes of the United Nations, they should find their legitimacy, according to the Charter, in respecting equal rights and self-determination of peoples. Besides the analysis of all the aspects that identify this principle as fundamental in international law, the major aim of this study is to examine the United Nations' politic in guaranteeing self-determination as a collective right through decolonization, in the light of the two Human Rights Covenants of 1966 and in view of article 55 of the United Nations Charter, a declaratory norm which gives some hints concerning the operational measures to be taken by the UN in order to give more substance to the purpose of peaceful and friendly relations among nations 'based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples.' Moreover, for what concerns the principle of democracy, the work has set itself the aim to scrutinize its vagueness, as the Vienna declaration and the Agenda for Peace of the United Nations Secretary General only refer to the positive effects of democracy on human rights, development and peace without giving any specific definition of the term. Nevertheless, according to the United Nations General Assembly resolution adopted in 2000 under the title "Promoting and Consolidating Democracy", democracy is characterised by pluralism, the protection of human rights, separation of powers, rule of law, elections, development of a civil society, good governance, sustainable development, solidarity, and social cohesion. Furthermore, the United Nations works incessantly for promoting human rights, development, as well as peace and security, assisting parliaments to enhance the checks and balances that allow democracy to thrive, giving assistance to develop policies and legislation in order to guarantee the rights of freedom of association and expression, and, last but not least, providing electoral assistance and long-term support for electoral management bodies. In that regard, the work's purpose is to scrutinize the situation in Haiti and the United Nations' intervention, which can be considered the most purposeful moment of United Nations' activity in favour of democratic regimes.
