Text auf http://sim.law.uu.nl:

Human rights education, which includes teaching people about their rights, is a difficult task. It is made somewhat easier because endorsements for human rights education have been proclaimed in various global and regional legal instruments ever since 1945 when the Charter of the United Nations called for cooperation "in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms." Reaffirmed in 1993 in Vienna at the United Nations World Conference on Human Rights, this foundational premise of "promoting and encouraging" creates responsibilities at the State level (formal education) and among social institutions, including nongovernmental organizations (nonformal education). This book was published to help interested groups to meet these obligations, it is directed toward a global audience of educators, scholars in all disciplines, research specialists worldwide, NGOs and others concerned with human rights education.
