Later on that view has proved to be mistaken. The insertion in the international covenant on civil and political rights of an article specifically concerning these questions indicates a reversal of the tendency (article 27). The study examines the protection and the position in the society, of persons belonging to ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities and the application of the principles set forth in article 27.

ISBN 0 314 43046 6 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: Included in its chapters are: Historical Antecedents of Human Rights Law, the United Nations Syste, the European System, the Inter-American System, the African System and Humanitarian Law.For American classes the inclusion of a chapter on the U.S. and International Human Rights is welcomed, but is probably of less value for European classes, (except as a matter of curiosity as to the U.S. position vis-a-vis America's lack of involvement in international machinery).One area regrettably not included is the CSCE process (Helsinki accords).Given the significance of these accords that include the participation of the two super-powers, the USA and the USSR, it is a considerable oversight not to have included it in the book.Yet this is not an insurmountable problem since material on the Helsinki Accords could easily be supplemented. One chapter in the book which gives it a distinct contemporary flavour deals with non-governmental-human -rights organizations (NGO).Appropriately it discusses the significant role NGO's play in the process of protecting human rights.From my own perspective I wish this chapter would have been expanded with the possibility of including a list, if space permitted, of some of NGO's and their addresses as well as the areas of their concern.Nonetheless the discussion does adequalety serve to introduce the NGO role in human rights law and it is quite easy to provide ample example via lecture and / or supplemental materal.
