Abstract	This collection of reports gives a picture of educational systems from a human rights perspective, monitoring academic freedom in the context of freedom of thought and freedom of opinion and expression. The World University Service's Lima Declaration on Academic Freedom and Autonomy of Institutions of Higher Education of 1988 is used as the guiding principle for activities that promote and monitor academic freedom. The collection of reports begins with "Monitoring the Right to Education: Reporting to UN Treaty Bodies" by Audrey R. Chapman. Following this introductory paper are four papers on Africa, including "Historical Notes on Academic Freedom in Africa" (Mahmood Mamdani) followed by area studies of Malawi (Richard Carver), South Africa (Teboho Moja and Nico Cloete), and Sudan (Abdelhadi Al-Zubeir Hamad). Part 2, "Asia and the Middle East," includes papers on China (Fang Lizhi), Burma (Myanmar) (Martin Smith), Sri Lanka (Swarna Jayaweera), Tibet (John Billington), Iran (Shahrzad Mojab), and Palestine (Penny Johnson and Emma Naughton). The third part, on Europe and North America, offers: "Access to Education for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the Countries of Western Europe" and includes studies of Kosova (Peter Gstettner) and the United States (James North). In part 4, "Latin America and the Caribbean," papers on Haiti (Roody Edme) and Peru (Sinesio Lopez Jimenez) are presented. Two appendixes provide the text of the Lima Declaration on Academic Freedom and Institutions of Higher Education and the Kampala Declaration on Intellectual Freedom and Social Responsibility. (Each paper contains references.) (JDD)
