Building bridges between the often-separated spheres of academics, policy makers and practitioners, it draws on the expertise of its authors alongside historical and contemporary examples of how religion's role in human rights manifests. At the core of the book are four case studies, dealing with Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Authors from each religion show the positive potential that their faith and its respective traditions has for the promotion of human rights, whilst also addressing why and how it stands in the way of fulfilling this potential. Addressed to policy makers, academics and practitioners worldwide, this engaging and accessible volume provides pragmatic studies on how religious and secular actors can cooperate and contribute to policies that improve global human rights"-- NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN BL65.H78 SN 978-1-032-38334-7 SN 978-1-032-38333-0 K1 Human Rights : Religious aspects : Case studies K1 Human Rights : Religious aspects K1 Aufsatzsammlung
