Canadians celebrate their country's central role in this endeavour every Human Rights Day. Yet a detailed study of government policies toward these early UN documents tells a different story. Resisting Rights analyzes the Canadian government's initial opposition to the development of international human rights law, exploring how and why this position changed from the 1940s to the 1970s. Jennifer Tunnicliffe takes both international and domestic developments into account to explain how shifting cultural understandings of rights influenced policy, and to underline the key role of Canadian rights activists in this process. In light of the erosion of Canada's traditional reputation as a leader in developing human rights standards at the United Nations, this is a timely study. Tunnicliffe situates current policies within their historical context to reveal that Canadian reluctance to be bound by international human rights law is not a recent trend, and asks why governments have found it important to foster the myth that Canada has been at the forefront of international human rights policy since its inception"--Provided by publisher. 505 00 $g Appendix 3. $t International Covenant on Economics, Social and Cultural Rights. $t The roots of resistance : Canada and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- $t Canada's opposition to a covenant on human rights -- $t A reversal in policy : the decision to support the covenants -- $t The road to ratification, 1966-76 -- $g Conclusion. $t The making of the myth -- $g Appendix 1. $t Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- $g Appendix 2. $t International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights -- $g Appendix 3. $t International Covenant on Economics, Social and Cultural Rights. 630 00 $a International Bill of Human Rights. 630 07 $a International Bill of Human Rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01367991 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a International and municipal law $z Canada. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a International law $z Canada $x History. 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a International and municipal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976759 650 7 $a International law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976984 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a Canada $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 1 $a Tunnicliffe, Jennifer, 1973- $t Resisting rights.: $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2019. $k Law & society $k Law & society $w (CaOONL)20189039965 830 0 $a Law and society series (Vancouver, B.C.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5180B1DA0B6411EAA467CE0D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
