The history of international human rights law -- The law and institutions of human rights -- Why do states enter into human rights treaties? -- Do states comply with human rights treaties? -- Why do states comply (or not comply) with human rights treaties? -- Human rights and war -- A fresh start : human rights and development.
Countries solemnly intone their commitment to human rights, and they ratify endless international treaties and conventions designed to signal that commitment. At the same time, there has been no marked decrease in human rights violations, even as the language of human rights has become the dominant mode of international moral criticism. Posner argues that purposefully unenforceable human rights treaties are at the heart of the world's failure to address human rights violations.
