Corruption And Human Rights [Paperback]

This book establishes the link between human rights and corruption. The contributors of this book are well known academicians, civil servants, judges, lawyers and social activists. Corruption is so pervasive in India that it has turned public service for many into a kind of criminal enterprise. The human rights based approach with its main elements of linkage to rights, accountability, empowerment and attention to disadvantaged groups, has been developed specifically to address these inequalities and to ensure that the poor and disadvantaged are also equal partners in development.
