Demanding
Accountability: The Global Campaign and Vienna Tribunal for
Women's Human Rights
Demanding
Accountability presents a comprehensive history and analysis
of the systematic organizing efforts of women prior to, during,
and after the UN World Conference on Human Rights (Vienna,
1993). It offers especially detailed insights into the "Global
Tribunal on Violations of Women Rights" held at the Conference,
which proved to be a global forum of demonstrating the failure
of existing human rights mechanisms to protect women's human
rights. Resources contained in the book include: the sections
of the Vienna Declaration pertaining to women; a list of UN
Human Rights divisions; the Petition to Promote and Protect
Women's Human Rights; an overview of hearings and tribunals
form around the world; and a reading/contact list.
