HUMAN RIGHTS, HUMAN PLIGHTS IN A GLOBAL VILLAGE by Rob Buitenweg
|
|
|
|
|
|
Economic, social and cultural rights are intended to alleviate human misery, and thereby enable people to live in dignity. Though these rights –– the right to adequate housing, to food, to health (care) and to social security, among others –– are protected under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, they are often challenged as lacking the clarity, substance and enforceability of civil and political rights. This book puts paid to that mistaken notion.

BIOWARFARE AND TERRORISM / Francis A. Boyle Foreword by Jonathan King, MIT
|
|
|
|
|
|
This critical book addresses how and why the United States government initiated, sustained and then dramatically expanded an illegal biological arms race. It raises key questions concerning the anthrax attacks on Congress and reveals the Bush Neocons' frightening reorientation of the mission of the new U.S. Chemical and Biological Defense Research program.
