Abstract
Evidence for Hope written by Kathryn Sikkink, published by Princeton University Press, emphasizes that there is no need for human rights activists to be pessimistic. What they need to do, however, is to maintain positive fervor, hold on tightly to the human rights flags and follow through with their agenda. In her book, Sikkink offers a ‘futuristic prescription’ for upholding human rights and democratic principles of liberty and equality.
