Reviews

Based on a broad range of empirical data, Janika Spannagel demonstrates the potential of campaigns supporting human rights defenders. At the same time, she addresses serious risks and possible pitfalls. Her study thus harbors important lessons which yet need to be learned. A 'must' for all human rights practitioners. Heiner Bielefeldt, Professor for Human Rights at FAU Erlangen-Nurnberg, Germany, and former UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief This thought-provoking publication examines the efficacy of the international human rights regime in protecting human rights defenders at risk. It is essential reading for anyone interested in how, and under what conditions, international attention produces protection benefits for defenders in repressive contexts. Alice M. Nah, Associate Professor at Durham University, UK
