When we talk about human rights today, we are on much finer ground than if we were discussing the "moral" and "natural" rights of man which philosophers have debated for so long. Since 1945 a veritable legal revolution has prompted the installation of a complete, universally agreed code of human rights in international law. This book explains for the general reader what lies behind the code, how it was made, how it works, and what it says.

On August 1, 1975, thirty-five nations solemnly signed a pledge--the Helsinki Accords--to maintain one code of human rights law. This book surveys the performance of these countries in upholding the rights important to scientists--the rights to education, work, communication, expression, travel, assembly, association, reputation and intellectual achievement. It describes where and when the rights were observed or violated and what scientists could do to promote a fuller observance in the future.
