At the dawn of the 21st century, the idea of human rights has become a powerful social construct to fulfill human needs. This revised edition emphasizes the need to create a human rights culture, where public sentiment is in accord with human rights principles, especially those asserted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed by the U.S. in 1948 and today increasingly referred to as customary international law. The book includes a foreword by David Gill. For additional information on the author, please visit www.humanrightsculture.org.

This study makes a major contribution to our understanding of the relationship between the rights recognized in international instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the one hand, and the U.S. and state Constitutions on the other. It also underlines the all-too-often neglected fact that social justice concerns are never very much part of 'human rights' as properly understood.
