Infos

This thoroughly revised edition of what has become the standard work in its field continues the original focus on the "e;nuts and bolts"e; of international human rights law and practice. Hurst Hannum and the contributors to this volume describe in detail regimes and procedures which have been developed during the past decade and evaluate the effectiveness of procedures which were only in their infancy in the early 1980s.The fifteen contributors, all specialists in their fields, offer a panoramic yet meticulously detailed survey of the many and varied techniques now available for the protection of human rights at global, regional, and national levels. A fully revised and updated set of appendixes, including a bibliographic essay which itself serves as a miniguide to the flourishing human rights literature, contains additional information useful to human rights lawyers, nongovernmental personnel, academics, and others interested in making the promotion and protection of human rights a reality.As democratization and other changes sweep through the world, the Guide seeks to ensure that human rights will have an important and influential place in whatever "e;new world order"e; the diplomats may devise.
