Cover of Koen De Feyter: Human Rights (PDF)

Koen De Feyter, who has chaired Amnesty International’s Working Group on economic, social and cultural rights, shows the many ways in which rampant market economics in today’s world leads to violations of human rights. He questions how far the present-day international human rights system really provides effective protection against the adverse effects of globalization. This accessible and thought-provoking book shows both human rights activists and participants in the anti-globalization movement that there is a large, but hitherto untapped, overlap in their agendas, and real potential for a strategic alliance between them in joint campaigns around issues they share.
