Communication and human rights are inextricably linked, with communication providing the standards for free speech and confidentiality and human rights needing communication to expose violations and provide platforms for dialogue. This book explores the historical evolution of communication and human rights, arguing that 'communicative justice' is the ultimate goal of applying the international human rights regime to different forms of communication.

Human rights and communication are inextricably linked, with human rights requiring communication to expose violations and provide platforms for dialogue, while communication needs human rights to establish standards for free speech and confidentiality. Together, they confront the reality of today's social and international order, where justice and understanding often seem unattainable.

In this comprehensive book, Cees J. Hamelink delves into the historical evolution of communication and human rights. Through this original framework, he explores topics such as the right to communicate and freedom of expression, as well as the significant challenges posed by the environmental crisis and digital technologies. With authority, he passionately argues that 'communicative justice' is the ultimate goal of applying the international human rights regime to different forms of communication. This goal can only be achieved if we move from the prevailing 'thin liberal conception of human rights to a 'thick cosmopolitan conception of them.

Written by one of the world's leading scholars in this field, this wide-ranging book appeals to students of media and communication, human rights scholars, practitioners, activists, and anyone interested in applying the notion of justice to the basis of human existence: communication.
