It also defines basic human needs, the right to assembly, and the right to cultural enjoyment,and analyzes legal decisions and international accords that have made these terms concrete realities. The encyclopaedia analyzes and reproduces the national and international documents and instruments which have affirmed or violated rights.

There is also information on more than 130 non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations, such as the UN, the OAS and the Council of Europe.; All entries in this second edition have been updated to reflect current events, including new treaties, covenants and UN reports.
