Although painful legacies persist, large-scale, systematic human rights violations of the kind common during Latin America's dictatorships are hopefully never to return. Yet abuses of rights and challenges to the rule of law have not disappeared completely, but rather taken on a different and elusive character. At the same time, the relatively good records of the developed North American countries continue to be undermined by their inconsistent approaches both at home and abroad.Human Rights Regimes in the AmericasHuman rightsAmericaDemocracyAmericaAmericaSocial conditionsElectronic books.Human rightsDemocracy323.097Serrano Mónica878807Popovski Vesselin889693MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456366803321Human rights regimes in the Americas2003048UNINA
