Sinopsis

Human Rights Evolution explores the historical development of human rights, from early concepts of justice to modern international law. It examines how these rights have been codified and the significant obstacles that impede their global enforcement. Understanding the history of human rights is critical, especially considering that violations persist worldwide. For example, while the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) set a foundational standard, political repression and economic inequality continue to undermine its principles. The book delves into the architecture of international human rights law, including the role of treaties and conventions, while also grappling with the challenges of enforcement. It acknowledges the tension between national sovereignty and international norms, providing a comprehensive overview that traces the evolution of human rights ideas through landmark events like the Enlightenment and World Wars. By analyzing the content and scope of key international treaties, the book rigorously examines the key challenges facing the international human rights system.

The book progresses through different parts, first laying the groundwork by tracing the historical roots of human rights ideas. It then dissects the legal architecture, analyzing the content and scope of key international treaties. Next, the book will rigorously analyze the key challenges facing the international human rights system. Finally, it assesses the role of international organizations as well as NGOs in promoting and protecting human rights, evaluating their effectiveness and identifying areas for improvement. This approach offers a balanced assessment of different perspectives, making it valuable for anyone interested in the history and future of global human rights.

Wheels of normality - Building...

Alex Gertschen

Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.
