'This book is a must for anyone with an inquiring mind who is thinking about the law on human rights. It turns the usual debate on its head by concentrating on duties rather than rights, emphasising that individual duties and community-mindedness are essential complements to the existing legal mechanisms. The author draws on a fascinating variety of sources from a wide range of disciplines, including history, theology and philosophy. Clearly written, the work is learned and scholarly in showing that its central tenet is in fact familiar in many human organisations and thought systems.' Professor Evelyn Ellis, University of Birmingham, UK 'Hodgson presents his material clearly and purposefully and the book provides accessible reading: the argument is clear and well-signposted. It provides a very useful account for those seeking an overvies of this kind of critique of human rights law.' Australian Year Book of International Law
