It covers all the major bases in this ever expanding field. As someone who has used the first edition as a textbook in introductory courses on human rights, I am delighted to find that this second edition provides even more analytical depth as it describes the various norms, treaties, histories, institutions and debates the fall within the modern international human rights regime. I look forward to using it in the future J. Paul Martin is professor and director of human rights studies at Barnard College, Columbia University, USA.
