This book is a study of the historic and unique role played by NGOs to bring about compliance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. When the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted fifty years ago, Eleanor Roosevelt, its pricipal architect, predicted that a curious grapevine would carry its message behind barbed wire and stone walls. This volume tells the extraodinary story of how NGOs became that grapevine- sensitizing mankind's conscience about violations of human rights, shaming the most notorious abusers, creating the international machinery and mechanisms to bring about implementation of the Declaration, laying the ground work for the destruction of the Soviet empire and the South Africa's apartheid system, and establishing the principle of accountability for crimes against humanity. By no means is the struggle at an end, yet in a half century the notion of human rights has marched from the margins of international relations to stand today as a critical element in diplomatic discourse. This book proves that NGOs have placed human rights at the heart of humankind's present and future agenda.
