- "The "Helsinki region" is composed of the 35 signatory states of the Helsinki Final Act. This important agreement was signed in Helsinki, Finland on 1st August 1975 by the heads of states. They represented all of the nations in Europe (except Albania), plus Canada and the United States .... In a series of consultations between 1975 and 1980 the World Council of Churches suggested that the "Helsinki Final Act be taken as the base for a common church action on human rights within the "Helsinki region". -- p. 4.
- The Churches' Human Rights Programme for the Implementation of the Helsinki Final Act was organized between 1977 and 1980 and was originally intended to be completed by August 1985. It was later agreed to extend it to the end of 1986. The Programme is sponsored by the Canadian Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. and the Conference of European Churches.

- "The author of this book refuses to allow victims of human rights violations to become forgotten symbols of suffering. They are for him signs of hope in a global struggle. Of one young worker murdered in a paddy field after imprisonment and torture, Mr. O'Grady writes: `He is not just a statistic or an abstract idea. To me, he is a face and a name and a voice. He is my encounter with redeeming love. He is my judgment'. The case studies in this book from India, South Korea and the Philippines will evoke a similar response from the reader. Mr. O'Grady's text also delves into the evolution of human rights, shows how differently the concept is seen by first, second and third worlders, and suggests where human rights belong in Christian mission and theology. But the discussion throughout is anchored in the experience and suffering of the victims themselves". -- back cover.
