War is waged in the pursuit of peace and democracy, yet war propaganda violates human rights. Rather than championing democracy and proving that the end justifies the means, war propaganda can undermine democratic principles and breech international human rights standards.

There is an absence of literature which closes the gap between the use of war propaganda - in theory or practise - and the legal and practical implications for human rights. Propaganda's war on human rights addresses these issues in the form of a 25,000 word research paper, illustrating the link between war propaganda and the violation of a range of human rights.
