Overview
"Revealing and useful." --Michael Ignatieff, New York Review of Books "Definitive. Essential reading for everyone interested in human rights." --David P. Forsythe, Choice "Morsink merges history and philosophy in a way that simultaneously roots the Universal Declaration in a particular time and place and reveals its enduring contemporary significance and value." --Jack Donnelly, Human Rights Quarterly "No other books takes the reader behind the scenes into the drafting details. . . . [Morsink's] seminal account merits reading by all invested in the Declaration--activist, academic, official, or victim." --Jerome E. Shestack, American Journal of International Law
