It is important to be clear about the nature of rightsbefore venturing into a discussion of
humanrights – a good introduction is Peter Jones, Rights(Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1994).
General discussions of human rights include: Maurice Cranston, What are Human Rights?
(New York: Taplinger, 1973) and Ellen Frankel Paul, Jeffrey Paul and Fred D. Miller (eds)
Human Rights(Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1984). More intellectually demanding are:
Alan Gewirth, Human Rights: Essays on Justification and Applications(Chicago, IL:
University of Chicago Press, 1982); R.J. Vincent, Human Rights and International Relations
(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1986). On the issue of cultural relativism read
Simon Caney and Peter Jones (eds) Human Rights and Global Diversity(London: Frank
Cass, 2001); Jane Cowan, Marie-Bénédicte Dembour and Richard A. Wilson (eds) Culture
and Rights: Anthropological Perspectives(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001);
and from the above references Donnelly (2003), Habermas (1994) and Rawls (1999).Weblinks
