Equality and Discrimination Under International Law

By W.A. McKean

Using an historical and analytical approach, this book addresses the growing concern with non-discrimination as a question of human rights. The author discusses such issues as what is meant by "equality" and "discrimination" and the questions concerning "positive discrimination", examining anti-discrimination treaties and the machinery established to affect them, from the protection of minorities after World War I to the actions of the United Nations. He also investigates the work of various international tribunals, the Supreme Court of the United States and that of India.
