ISBN 978-92-3-104073-3 € 39.00 UNESCO Publishing/Ashgate Human rights are at the heart of UNESCO’s work in the fields of education, science and culture. Conceived from an international human rights legal framework, Human Rights in Education, Science and Culture: Legal Developments and Challenges combines insights into the content, scope of application and corresponding state obligations of these rights with analyses of issues relating to their implementation. The volume begins by presenting the principles of the indivisibility, interrelatedness and interdependence of all human rights. It then turns to questions related to economic, social and cultural rights, including their justiciability, their application between private parties and the development of indicators for measuring their implementation. Finally, it addresses the right to education, the right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications, and the right to take part in cultural life – the content and scope of application of the latter two rights being especially in need of further elucidation.

This volume offers reflections on the likely nature of the values of the 21st century and addresses questions such as whether the aesthetic will prevail over the ethical, whether the third industrial revolution and its forms of globalization will shatter culture as we know it, hasten the decline of thousands of languages, or give rise to new forms of racism or ‘genism.’ This volume, the second anthology originating from UNESCO’s ‘21st-Century Talks,’ brings together about 50 scientists and researchers from the four corners of the world to ponder the future of values and humanity. Also published in French: Où vont les valeurs ? In Spanish: ¿Adónde van los valores? In Arabic and Russian Freedom from Poverty as a Human Right Who Owes What to the Very Poor? Edited by Thomas Pogge The Philosopher’s Library series 2007, 420 pp., 23.5 × 15.5 cm, footnotes, biblio. ISBN 978-92-3-104033-7 € 22.00 UNESCO Publishing/Oxford University Press Collected here are fifteen cutting-edge essays by leading academics about the severe poverty that today afflicts billions of human lives. The essays seek to explain why freedom from poverty is a human right and what duties this right creates for the affluent. Addressing even the most complex aspects of human rights in clear language, these discussions are accessible to specialists and lay readers alike. The authors agree that there is a human right to be free from poverty. They further agree that this right is violated by the present world economy that creates severe imbalances in income and wealth among and within countries. Their searing indictment of the status quo is all the more powerful since the authors exemplify diverse philosophical methods and moral traditions, and study different aspects of poverty and its global institutional causes. This volume derives from a UNESCO philosophy programme organized in response to the first of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2000: ‘to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger’. Not only a crucial aid and challenge to policy-makers who think of their work in human rights terms, it should also be of great interest to academics and students in philosophy, political science, law and international relations. Indeed, in view of the magnitude of human rights deficit here under discussion, every citizen of conscience has reason to engage with the arguments in this book. FORTHCOMING Cultural Organization Freedom from Poverty as a Human Right Volume 2 Theory and Politics Edited by Thomas Pogge Series editor: Pierre Sané Freedom from Poverty as a Human Right Volume 2 – Theory and Politics Edited by Thomas Pogge The Philosopher’s Library series 2010, 362 pp., 23.5 × 15.5 cm ISBN 978-92-3-104143-3 € 22.00 UNESCO Publishing Fourteen cutting-edge essays by leading academics about the severe poverty that today afflicts billions of human lives. They explore the theoretical foundations for socioeconomic human rights and their practical application, focusing on the urgency of addressing severe poverty, and the challenges of implementing socioeconomic rights. Socioeconomic rights are a central element of human rights,and yet remain unmet for the billions of people living in severe poverty. The book offers a diverse range of ways to achieve the goal of reducing poverty, from reforms to domestic institutions in developing countries to changes in the structure of the global economy. It explores the ways in which socioeconomic rights can be conceived, how they can be pursued in different cultural and political contexts, and who is responsible for taking action. This volume springs from a UNESCO Philosophy Programme organized in response to the first of the Millennium Development Goals: ‘to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger’. It will be of great interest to academics and students in philosophy, political science, law and international relations. It also represents a crucial aid to policy-makers in governmental, inter-governmental, and non-governmental organizations. Indeed, every citizen of conscience has reason to engage with the arguments in this book. FORTHCOMING Freedom from Poverty as a Human Right Volume 3 Economic Perspectives Edited by Bård A. Andreassen, Stephen P. Marks and Arjun K. Sengupta Series editor: Pierre Sané Freedom from Poverty as a Human Right Volume 3 – Economic perspectives Edited by Bård A. Andreassen, Stephen P. Marks and Arjun K. Sengupta The Philosopher’s Library series 2010, 282 pp., 23.5 × 15.5 cm ISBN 978-92-3-104144-0 € 22.00 UNESCO Publishing The dialogue between economists and human rights specialists is slowly evolving. Recently, the topic of global poverty has facilitated a dialogue between the two professions insofar as economists acknowledge the moral imperative of altering the intolerable levels of poverty, and human rights specialists realize that no progress can be made in realizing the human rights of poor people unless economic conditions are altered through effective economic policy based on sound evidence. This volume examines the relationships between poverty eradication and human rights and asks how poverty as a violation of human rights can be addressed from economic perspectives. The book brings together leading economists and social scientists familiar with the relationship between poverty and economic structures, processes and policies, to apply their particular modes of analysis to the impact of this relationship on individual and collective responsibilities in the field of human rights. This book complements the other volumes in this series, which explore poverty in the light of philosophy, political science and law.
