Paperback. Condizione: Good. Sierra Leone, Kosovo, East Timor, the Bronx. The nightly news brings vivid images into our homes of the mistreatment of people all over the world. In the secure comfort of our living rooms, we may feel sympathetic to the victims of these atrocities but far removed from them. What does all this have to do with a person in east Tennessee? is the question, from a radio program host, that prompted William Schulz to write this book. Schulz provides answers with an insightful work, generously laced with compelling stories of women and men from all continents, which clearly delineates the connection between our prosperity here in the United States and human rights violations throughout the globe. The book reveals the high cost of indifference not only in ethical and moral terms, but in terms of the political, economic, environmental and public health consequences in our own backyards. Consider, for example, the high cost to U.S. military personnel and their families of radical political instability in the Balkans-costs that might well have been avoided if the United States and the international community had conscientiously defended human rights. Or the devastating economic impact on U.S. businesses of systemic corruption in Asia. Or the serious environmental hazards of nuclear fuel leaks in Russia, the spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis, and the expensive dangers of inhumane prison conditions in the United States, to name just a few examples. At the heart of each of these problems lies the abuse of basic human rights. Through the stories of Natasa Kandic and Alexander Nikitin, of Samia Sarwar and Han Dongfang, of Jaime Garzon and Sister Dianna Ortiz, Schulz introduces us to the front line of the international battle for rights and builds a powerful case for defending our own interests by vigorously defending the human rights of people everywhere. Entertaining is not a word one normally associates with the struggle for human rights, and yet that is the perfect word to describe this book by William Schulz. Entertaining, yes, and moving, and complex, this assault against indifference is also an urgent blueprint for action and a guide full of wisdom for the perplexed. -Ariel Dorfman This is the strongest case I ever read for support of human rights. Eloquently written, well argued-it makes a case not just for professionals, but for all who care. -Amitai Etzioni, author of The Spirit of Community If any foreign policy primer could be called a page-turner, it is this one by the executive director of Amnesty International USA. What the human rights community needs to do, argues Schulz in this well-written clarion call, is find 'the compelling reasons why respect for human rights is in the best interests of the United States.' . . . Schulz has written a clear and provocative book that should be read by all concerned with human rights and U.S. foreign policy and will draw new supporters among the general public. -Publishers Weekly, starred review Dr. William F. Schulz is the executive director of Amnesty International, USA. and former president of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. He travels throughout the country and the world to advocate for universal human rights, and to investigate and detail human rights abuses.

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Gebrochener Buchrucken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt. Sierra Leone, Kosovo, East Timor, the Bronx. The nightly news brings images of mistreatment around the world, prompting sympathy but also a sense of distance. A question from a radio host, "What does this have to do with a person in east Tennessee?" inspired William Schulz to explore this connection. In this insightful work, Schulz shares compelling stories from across the globe, illustrating how our prosperity in the United States is linked to human rights violations worldwide. He highlights the costs of indifference, emphasizing not just ethical implications but also political, economic, environmental, and public health repercussions at home. For instance, the instability in the Balkans has profound effects on U.S. military personnel and their families, costs that could have been mitigated through a commitment to human rights. Similarly, systemic corruption in Asia impacts U.S. businesses economically, while environmental hazards from nuclear leaks in Russia and drug-resistant tuberculosis pose serious threats. Each issue is rooted in the abuse of basic human rights. Through the stories of individuals like Natasa Kandic, Alexander Nikitin, Samia Sarwar, and Jaime Garzon, Schulz sheds light on the international struggle for rights. He builds a compelling case that defending human rights globally is essential not only for ethical reasons but also for our own national interests.…
