The Berlin Wall has come down; Charles Taylor is out of work; international conferences and conventions protecting human rights have burgeoned over the past couple of decades. On the other hand, to take perhaps the most egregious example, The World's Only Remaining Superpower is wantonly torturing people around the world and incarcerating an unconscionable portion of its population. So, are human rights losing or gaining ground? Scholars with the Danish Institute for Human Rights offer insights, if not a definitive answer, in discussions on such aspects as UN reform, globalization, terrorism, the battlefield, religion, freedom from want, and solitary confinement. A former judge of the European Court of Human Rights also weighs in. Martinus Nijhoff is an imprint of Brill.
