More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The Symposium on Population and Human Rights drew together 28 experts in various disciplines to formulate scientific opinion on the interrelationships between population and human rights and, more specifically, to provide inputs for the World Population Plan of Action. The symposium devoted its attention to the human rights standards which have a direct influence on the three main demographic variables of fertility, mortality, and migration. The symposium report contains a summary of the main conclusions reached during the week-long meeting. Areas of concensus for each of the demographic variables, including internal and international migration, are spelled out. Other sections present summaries of discussions on the implications of population trends for the formulation and exercise of human rights; on roles of the community, state, and other institutions in safeguarding and promoting human rights in the light of population trends; and on the role of international organizations in formulating human rights connected with population matters.

Annexes contain the agenda, list of participants, and a list of technical and background papers. (Author/KSM
