Description

This volume presents the first global history of human rights politics in the age of decolonization, examining how the conflict between independence movements and colonial powers shaped the international human rights order after the Second World War. The book explores the critical role decolonization played in the genesis of contemporary human rights organisations and humanitarian movements, revealing how anti-colonial forces mobilised human rights language in their campaigns for self-determination. It also analyses how European empires responded by harnessing the new international politics of human rights to advance their own strategic interests, claiming their colonial rule served humanitarian purposes. Essential for understanding how decolonization fundamentally transformed global human rights discourse and institutional frameworks.

Key Features

Presents the first comprehensive global history of human rights politics during the decolonization era and its lasting impact on contemporary movements.

Examines how independence movements weaponised human rights language as a strategic tool in their campaigns for self-determination against colonial powers.

Analyses the European empires' counter-strategy of appropriating human rights politics to legitimise their continued colonial rule internationally.

Traces the direct connection between decolonization conflicts and the genesis of modern human rights organisations and humanitarian movements worldwide.

Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Human Rights in History series, offering scholarly authority on postwar international relations.

Provides essential context for understanding how the Second World War's aftermath reshaped the global human rights order and decolonial politics.
