Content:
For years international accompaniment has been successfully implemented as a way to protect threatened human rights activists throughout the world. In this book, Mahoney and Eguren present examples of the inspirational practice from Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Asia. Interviews with those involved in international accompaniment, with the individuals who were being protected, and with those who posed the threats provide valuable insight into what international accompaniment is really about.
