Summary: Evaluates the impact of the principles articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the behaviour of national governments in many regions of the world. A five phase " spiral model" of human rights is developed to suggest a socialization process by which international norms are internalized in the domestic practice of States. This model is then applied to eleven countries representing five different world regions - Northern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Finally, practical lessons are drawn from the analysis that provide fresh perspectives for activists and policy makers.
