Basic Documents on Human Rights

Most documents relevant to human and rights and civil liberties are not as accessible as they should be. This work attempts to be a full yet convenient handbook of sources of human rights with introductory notes. For the second edition, Professor Brownlie has included some significant material such as the Final Act of the Helsinki Conference, the the United Nations Declaration on Protection from Torture, and the judgement of the European Ccourt og Human Rights in The Sunday Times case.
