Abstract

ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“Human rightsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ is a language and an ideal that many people readily accept as fundamentally correct ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â to support human rights is good, while to oppose human rights is bad. DevereuxÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s book studying AustraliaÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s historic international practice on human rights is a compelling and significant review of how Australian politicians and policy makers understood and negotiated ideal ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“human rightsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ in the 20 years following World War II. It highlights the fundamental ambiguity of the term and is a strong reminder that states, communities and individuals can adopt practices that discriminate, blight and harm, while mouthing platitudes of ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“protecting human rightsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢.
