Content: "The human rights movement strives to develop a universal culture of human rights in all societies, as well as to confront gross violations. This book, the first ever of its kind, is a veritable State of the World Report on Human Rights. It reproduces summaries by UN High Commissioners for Human Rights on the state of the national human rights protection systems of each UN Member State. These summaries were sent following each state's passage through the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process of the UN Human Rights Council. The summaries identify each state's constitutional, legal, judicial and institutional architecture, international conventions not yet ratified, areas of progress, problem areas, and problems affecting different parts of the population. The High Commissioners' summaries reproduced here are preceded by insightful reflections on the concept of a national human rights protection system, and by regional outlines of national human rights protection systems in the Americas and the Caribbean, Europe Africa, Asia and the Pacific. The book also contains some case studies of the national human rights protection systems of sample states such as Australia, Bhutan, Brazil, Canada, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guyana, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, and South Africa"--

Content: This book has emerged out of the author's experience as Director of an innovative peacemaking, peacekeeping and humanitarian initiative, the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia, between 1992 and 1996. What was striking about this conference was the experiment of two full-time Co-Chairmen, one from the United Nations and one from the European Union, who laboured tirelessly for peace in different parts of the former Yugoslavia for three and a half years. The strategies and organization of the conference had to be pieced together from the start by the Co-Chairmen and their colleague

Content: "The range, scope, scale, and speed of cross- border activity has significantly increased over the past half century.* Today in addition to the linkages created by international trade, foreign investment, international diplomacy, and state- to- state relations, the world is connected through deep and dynamic technological, social, cultural, and environmental interactions. The result is a profound shift towards more international connectedness through migration, trade in goods and services, social media, tourism, education exchanges, cybercrime, communicable diseases, invasive species and environmental pollution.1 Despite the drag caused by persistent and occasionally resurgent nationalism, the intensity and diversity of these interactions is likely to continue growing"--
