The challenge was to make a book that covered the complete spectrum of the state of human rights around the world today-a monumental and extremely serious undertaking. The book needed to be accessible to a general audience, suitable for scholars, and also relevant to people who work in the field at all levels-whether at an NGO or the United Nations. It was particularly challenging to make a book that could give a true picture of world human rights through found photographs, in addition to more traditional texts, graphics and charts. The book has been embraced by members of the United Nations, academic programs and even celebrities like Yoko Ono. There has never been a book like it—a visual primer—in the field of human rights.
