Human rights is an empowering framework for understanding and addressing justice issues at local, domestic, and international levels. This book combines U.S.-based case studies with examples from other regions of the world to explore important human rights themes - the equality, universality, and interdependence of human rights, the idea of international crimes, strategies of human rights change, and justice and reconciliation in the aftermath of human rights violations. From Flint and Minneapolis to Xinjiang and Mt. Sinjar, this book challenges a wide variety of readers-students, professors, activists, human rights professionals, and concerned citizens--to consider how human rights apply to their own lives and equips them to be changemakers in their own communities.
