Written for a non-specialist audience, her book also seeks to explain why certain countries and political blocs manipulate and undermine the UN’s human rights machinery. Using concrete examples intertwined with explanations of the law and politics of the UN, Rosa Freedman offers clear explanations of how and why the Organisation is unable, at best, or unwilling, at worst, to protect human rights. This book looks at the reasons for that failure. The United Nations was established to safeguard world peace and security, development, and human rights yet it is undeniable that currently it is failing to protect the rights of a great many people –– from the victims of ethnic cleansing, to migrants, those displaced by war and women who suffer horrendous abuse. Despite many of the abuses being well-documented, little seems to be done to stop them from happening. These violations occur worldwide, in war-torn countries and in the wealthiest states. Every year tens of millions of individuals suffer grave abuses of their human rights.
