Publisher Description

LEONARD S. RUBENSTEIN is Executive Director of Physicians for Human Rights. Professionals have played a uniquely important role in the movement for human rights. Lawyers, steeped in the rule of law, actively promote codes and covenants articulating human rights and design institutions to enforce them. Journalists, who witness violations of human rights and the martyrdom of colleagues for exposing the truth, use their media platform to urge protection of free expression. Physicians, too, play a critical role in the protection of human rights. For centuries, the medical profession has sworn fealty to principles that affirm the dignity of the individual and demand intervention to end human suffering. Physicians understand better than most the impact of gross human rights violations on the body and mind.
