DESCRIPTION

The US has declined to approve most human rights treaties, despite widespread support for such treaties among other Western democracies. This study explores the legacy of the 1950s, when opposition to the treaties was articulated, and the residual strength of that opposition in contemporary deliberations.

Originally published in 1990.
