Reviews

We recognize public education as a fundamental right but do not insist enough on the duty of the State to ensure its progressive content. Heping Deng provides great insight into this dimension of modern human rights practice, answering governments who invoke public opinion as a pretext for their refusal to undertake important reforms. William A. Schabas OC MRIA, Professor of international law Calling public authorities to engage with their pubic opinions on non-discrimination and human rights is not only a timely issue but something which has been overlooked by the literature. Heping Dang offers a rich, well researched, and convincing perspective on States duty to engage and mobilise their public opinion on human rights issues. A rewarding and timely read. Jérémie Gilbert (PhD, LLM), Professor of International and Comparative Law.
