Digumarti Bhaskara Rao (Editor)

Synopsis Human rights education explains about the process of teaching and learning the significance of the inherent dignity and worth of the human person which is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. It talks about the rights that belong to everyone of the world. Human rights education does not just provide lessons for the classroom but lessons for life-of immediate relevance to our daily life and experience. In this sense, human rights education means not only teaching and learning about human rights, but also for human rights; its fundamental role is to empower individuals to defend their own rights and those of others. This empowerment constitutes an important investment for the future, aimed at achieving a just society in which all human rights of all persons are valued and respected. Human rights education gained momentum across the world with the proclamation of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004). This book on human rights education includes the very important documents concerned to human rights education prepared by the United Nations and the office of the UN high commissioner of human rights. Everyone everywhere in the world will find a place of this book at one time or other, besides its usefulness the classroom practitioners.
