Also included are instruments relating to the rights of women in certain contexts, such as rights of women in armed conflict, in education, employment, marriage, the family, and women as refugees.
This book provides ready access to the basic and most influential human rights documents. With the exception of the UN Charter, some protocols, and the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, all texts are complete and unabridged. While knowing the rules does not assure the elimination of human rights violations, the more they are known, the more likely they can protect those in greatest need.
Forty texts on religion and human rights, including the basic human-rights documents (Universal Declaration of Human Rights; International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) and others such as the World Council of Churches Declaration on Religious Liberty; Vatican II Declaration on Religious Freedom; Agreement Between the Holy See and the State of Israel; the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, and many more.
