A collection of essays updated from their presentation at a symposium convened by the Norwegian Nobel Institute in June 1988. The over- arching question considered is why some governments respect and promote human rights while others not only disregard them but consciously and perhaps even systematically undermine them for their own purposes. The volume is divided into three parts: international efforts by the UN to protect and encourage respect for human rights; human rights, world civilizations, and indigenous religious traditions; and international and domestic sociopolitical and economic impediments to the realization of human rights.
