Evidence of Asia's contribution from the historical records of the Commission on Human Rights (1946 to 1948) profoundly refutes any remnants of the relativist 'Asian values' discourse. Asians shaped the 'new humanism' of the UDHR and the universal values that they also brought to bear on the drafting of this document. The book brings this evidence into focus in order to enter them into contemporary human rights discourse in Asia. The book coincides with the 70th anniversary (2018) of the UDHR and contributes to the ongoing global dialogue between states and societies in the development of human rights norms. At this time, the elucidation of the Asian contribution in this work is part of this dialogue.-- $c Publisher description. 610 20 $a United Nations. $b General Assembly. $t Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Asia. 651 0 $a Asia $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240495 700 1 $a Ramcharan, B.
