Educating for human rights : the Philippines and beyond / Richard Pierre Claude. - xii,274 pages 23 cm.

This edition assess the Filipino program of human rights education (HRE) drawing some lessons from its strengths and weaknesses. The last three chapters extend the description and analysis of human rights education and beyond the Philippines to the Asia-Pacific region. In the six chapters focusing on the Philippines, the reader would not be wrong to see some elements of melodrama. Here it contrast a virtuous neophyte policy to "transform social values" with menace from all sides including several coup d' etat attempts, rouge bombings conducted by disaffected soldiers, organized insurgency from the political left, labor strife, natural disasters, economic hardship, and social and cultural crisis.
