«Derechos torcidos» is Esteban Beltrán's essay on clichés, half-truths and lies about human rights, published by Debate in paperback in 2009 (384 pages, in Spanish).
The author, director of Amnesty International in Spain, analyzes how conformism and prejudice distort understanding of poverty, war, democracy, the death penalty or immigration. Against certain consensuses, he questions widespread ideas, such as that immigration is a danger or that poverty cannot be eradicated, and defends a more uncomfortable and critical view of human rights.
The work belongs to Debate's Ensayo y Pensamiento collection. The author, Esteban Beltrán Verdes, was director of the Spanish Section of Amnesty International and postgraduate lecturer at six Spanish universities.
For readers interested in politics, human rights and social analysis who seek a read that challenges established thinking.
