Reviews

This short book covers one main area of current interest very well: how the human rights movement has gained increasing attention internationally... Clapham on Human Rights can be summed up as one of the best titles we have read yet from OUP. Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
