Description 3 volumes (cxxv, 3157 pages) ; 26 cm Contents volume 1. October 1946 to November 1947 -- volume 2. December 1947 to August 1948 -- volume 3. September to December 1948 Summary "A collection of United Nations documents associated with the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, these volumes facilitate reasearch into the scope of, meaning of and intent behind the instrument's provisions. It permits an examination of the various drafts of what became the thirty articles of the Declaration, including one of the earliest documents - a compilation of human rights provisions from national constitutions, organised thematically. The documents are organised chronologically and thorough thematic indexing facilitates research into the origins of specific rights and norms. It is also annotated in order to provide information relating to names, places, events and concepts that might have been familiar in the late 1940s but are today more obscure". -- Publishers website Notes In slip case Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject United Nations.
