The prevention of violations of human rights must become the dominant protection strategy of the twenty-fierst century, nationally, regionally, and globally. This book clearly identifies the need for preventive human rights strategies, what exists by way of such strategies at the present time, and offers policy options to deal with the world of the future. It concentrates on strategies for increasing our ability to monitor and investigate and to force human rights concerns into the rules of the trading regime that is trumping humanistic concerns. Including impressive contributions from representatives of all facets of the human rights community, the book also offers a probing examination of the strategies for educating different constituencies to behave in a more humane way.
