The essays in this volume discuss, from a variety of perspectives, the claims made for a "third generation" of peoples rights. Since 1948 the international human rights movement has become an important force and has produced important changes in international law. Apart from individual human rights, claims have been made to collective rights, such as minority rights, the rights of peoples under colonial rule and aboriginal rights. More recently claims have been made to a number of "rights of peoples", including rights of an economic kind - the "right to development", for example, or to permanent sovereignty over natural resources. Some claims are even more ambitious - the right to peace or to a healthy environment. The studies question whether this is a desirable development in human rights or an attempt to undermine governments and states. It also includes a documentary appendix with details of relevant texts and a comprehensive bibliography.
