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.
