In tackling these questions, the book first clarifies what a human rights view of the past is. The constituent dimensions of the past - time, memory, and history - are then reviewed, indicating what a human rights perspective can add to the study of each. Finally, the benefits accruing from a human rights view of the past to historical theory and practice are highlighted.
