Decolonization and the Evolution of International Human Rights - Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights
Roland Burke
This book challenges traditional accounts of the Third World's contribution to international human rights. It demonstrates that diplomats from Third World countries helped both to radicalize the UN human rights agenda in the heyday of decolonization and to undermine that agenda by advancing cultural relativism as an excuse for abuses in the 1970s.
