Human Rights and International Aid
The defense of Human Rights finds a fundamental
support in Information. That is precisely the
book's main contribution; throughout 5 chapters,
the author reviews the creation of international
regulations and their application in different fields.
The text points out the practice of solidarity as a
basis for the work of humanitarian aid organizations,
the hard and sometimes badly understood task of
solidarity with the excluded, the unprotected
and the victims of wars, disasters and oppression.
According to the United Nations' Former High
Commissioner for Human Rights, José Ayala Lasso,
the work represents an excellent systematization
effort of the complex information on international
humanitarian aid and legislation, as well as the
indispensable instruments ruling current democratic systems.
