Routledge Handbook of Human Rights in Asia

Overview

This handbook offers a comprehensive study of human rights issues in Asia, focusing on the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. Despite widespread adherence to international human rights instruments, the practical realization of these rights is often hindered by development pressures, conflict, limited political will, and discrimination.
