Description
This text reviews human rights policies of individual donor governments and the European Union. Donors' practices are examined through a selection of cases in each decade: Cuba, Rhodesia, South Africa and Israel in the 1960s; Uganda, Chile and Ethiopia in the 1970s; and Turkey, Indonesia, Burma and Chile in the 1980s. Electoralism is discussed as a recent complement to continued punitiveness. The book concludes that neither sanctions nor elections benefited human rights because donors' practice has been slanted against vulnerable recipients, and undermined human rights protection by reliance on external policing and sanctioning.
