Summary

From its development, Robertson gives a lucid and engrossing account of the human rights movement. He includes up-to-the-minute analyses of recent issues, such as the Pinochet affair and predicts what it has in store, not only for tyrants and torturers but also for the superpowers which remain truculent in the face of demands for universal justice
