International Human Rights Law offers a thorough, thought-provoking consideration of the essential elements of the subject. It covers all aspects of a typical international human rights course, from philosophical and other foundational issues to substantive rights to systems of protection. It also addresses contemporary challenges to human rights such as terrorism, poverty, and environmental degradation. Written by leading experts in their respective fields, the textbook offers various perspectives of the multifaceted and contentious subject of human rights. Its comprehensive coverage, accessible style, and pedagogical features make it the ideal companion for the student of human rights. Although written primarily for the law student, it will also be of considerable relevance to the student of international relations, politics or sociology, and an invaluable resource for academics, advocates, and practitioners.

It was great in price, however the book is falling apart . I had to tape some of the pages to remain to the binding. however for a reference book, it is great. This is very helpful with human rights law for masters

3.0 out of 5 stars Law is not my thing, but I have to read this book.

This book is lengthy, so much information, and for me its terrible because I do not understand one thing about this book. I have never studied anything about law and now I have a required Human Rights Law class and every time I read this book I want to cry because I am so confused about concepts in here. If you like law then this is a really good book because it has a lot of information such as the history of human rights law, but this is not my forte.
