Notes: | "In this set of essays, originally presented as the 2005 Hamlyn Lectures, Conor Gearty considers whether human rights can survive the challenges of the war on terror, the revival of political religion, and the steady erosion of the world's natural resources. He also looks deeper than this to consider some fundamental questions: What are human rights? How can we tell what they are? Why should we believe in their existence?"--Back cover. Includes bibliographical references (p. 158-169) and index.
