Lexicon Of Human Rights / Les Définitions des Droits de l'Homme
This volume contains terms often found in international human rights instruments together with clear, authentic, objective and easily understandable definitions of them. Human rights are so fundamental and so important for everyone that all human rights documents should be understood by anyone, old or young, educated or uneducated, expert or non-expert. Yet many human rights conventions, declarations, instruments and volumes and papers are extremely hard to comprehend or are easily misunderstood because certain expressions and terms are not clearly defined, or are written in such a way that only those familiar with UN jargon can understand. This publication is a useful tool for those who face such difficulty in understanding UN human rights documents and other texts. The volume is easy to use, yet rich in detail, and will be an indispensable tool for practitioners, researchers and students of human rights law.

This ordered grouping of definitions will enlighten the reader about the priorities of the international community regarding environmental law. Definitions are classified in alphabetical order, in separate English and French lists. In each language there is an alphabetical list of common terms with the equivalent second language term in square brackets. The list gives the exact detailed meaning followed by the source of each term. Following this list, a lexicon of the same terms is given under such general themes as "Mammals", "Gas", "Lead". Finally, a list of relevant documents which can be referenced for further information is included.

Femmes et relations internationales au XXe siècle
Cet ouvrage est issu d'une rencontre internationale, qui a été la première en France à associer l'histoire du genre (l'histoire des femmes) et l'histoire des relations internationales contemporaines. Le XXe siècle apparaît comme le temps de l'intégration progressive mais encore incomplète des femmes dans la vie internationale, où elles ne sont plus désormais en position d'absentes ou de " petites mains furtives ". Sortant ainsi de leurs rôles traditionnels d'icônes ou d'assistantes, elles parviennent depuis un demi-siècle, lentement mais de plus en plus nombreuses, à devenir chefs d'État, premiers/premières ministres, ministres des Affaires étrangères, ambassadeurs/ambassadrices, diplomates, conseillères, mais aussi membres ou dirigeantes d'organisations internationales et animatrices de mouvements d'émancipation pour un accès croissant à l'égalité, à la parité et au respect.
