330   $aHuman Rights: A Very Short Introduction looks at the controversies and complexities behind this vital area by focusing on highly topical issues such as torture, arbitrary detention, privacy, health, and discrimination. What are our human rights now? What are the historical origins of today's views on human rights? Where might human rights be in the future? Today, it is usually not long before a problem gets expressed as a human rights issue. An appeal to human rights in the face of injustice can be a heartfelt and morally justified demand for some, while for others it remains merely an empty slogan.
