Communication and Human Rights: Towards Communicative Justice (Hamelink Cees J.)(Paperback)

Human rights and human communication are deeply connected: human rights need communication to expose violations and to offer platforms for dialogue, while communication needs human rights to provide standards for free speech and confidentiality.
