There has been a remarkable growth of international action since 1945, when human rights were not even widely accepted as a legitimate issue-area. After laying out a typology of international regimes, eight international and regional human rights regimes are analyzed in order to (1) examine the utility of regime analysis in noneconomic issue-areas, and (2) assess the nature, extent, and evolution of international cooperation on human rights. ![]() ![]() Sven-Erik Wikström, Arne Ohlson, Bo LundborgĬontrolled by the computer Mima, the space ship Aniara leaves the poisoned Earth, heading for Mars.
