Silencing Human Rights

This volume presents a range of topical investigations into the human rights field as well as providing an original and provocative investigation of some of the topic through the theoretical lens of 'silence'.

Renk Ozdemir's chapter has won the 2009 Robert and Jessie Cox prize awarded to the best graduate paper of critical inquiry in International Relations. 'Silencing Human Rights is a very thought-provoking book and should be taken seriously.' - Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer
