Reviews

[Rosa Freedman] does not allow geopolitical considerations or regional alliances to get in the way. Her approach resembles that of such leading non-governmental bodies as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.- Aryeh Neier, Open Society Foundations, for Journal of Cold War Studies (Vol. 16, No. 1, 2014) In 2006, the UN was compelled to wind up its thoroughly discredited Commission on Human Rights, which was replaced by a Human Rights Council. But hopes that the council would not repeat the politically driven failures of the commission have been dashed. Freedman tells us why this is. It is a depressing story, superbly told. - Geoffrey Alderman, University of Buckingham, for The Times Higher Education (10 July 2014)
