The 20th century was marked by the emergence of human rights and their power to transform international relations, but not everyone who claimed human rights wanted to make the world a better place, while sometimes the benefits of human rights were unintended. Eckel recounts a history that is complex, polycentric, and does not provide easy lessons.
