(March 2002)

With the adoption of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and related covenants in the succeeding decades, the member states made a commitment to fundamental human rights for every man, woman and child on the planet. This journal explores some of the issues and problems in mounting effective human rights education programs, acknowledging that we live in a diverse world with great differences among societies in terms of history, culture and ideology.
