From The Outside Looking In: Unleashing The Skeletons Of Truth, Justice And Reconciliation In Kenya"" 330 $aThis book brings together twenty think-pieces on contemporary Human Rights issues at the international, regional and national level by one of Africa's foremost scholars of International Human Rights and Constitutional Law, J. Oloka-Onyango. Ranging from the 'Arab Spring' to the Right to Education, the collection is both an in-depth analysis of discrete topics as well as a critical reflection on the state of human rights around the world today. Taking up issues such as the African reaction to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the question of truth and reconciliation before the outbreak of post-election violence in Kenya and the links between globalization and racism, the book is a tour de force of issues that are both unique as well as pertinent to human rights struggles around the world. 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aInternational law 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aHuman rights$zUganda 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a341.481 700 $aOloka-Onyango$b J.$0866705 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460586103321 996 $aBattling over human rights$91934657 997 $aUNINA
