Synopsis Much water has flowed down the gulfs, bays and deep seas elsewhere since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 in the last century till the early 21st Century. Colonial borders have been redrawn, globalisation in both sense of the term has set in; yet the deepest concern for human causes and human rights remains unaffected by these alternations. The Humanitarian laws had the benchmark starting from the St. Petersburg Declaration, 1868 and the Hague Conventions, 1907. This set of norms earns the status of non-derogability in both thick and thin. For the humanization of the inevitable conflicts, the instruments get increasing respectability in the process of ongoing evolution. This set of three volumes, presents the vital multilateral, regional and international human rights instruments that influence the individual and national behaviours. The first, second and the third generations of human rights and select humanitarian law instruments will be found in this compendium. The book would be very useful for decision makers in the wings of the government, law enforcement officials, law professors, research scholars, national and internationa NGOs, among others.
