Reviews

... a most useful and stimulating introduction to human rights. ... It will be useful for the lawyer wanting to know something more about human rights and their application in a legal context. It will also be useful as a point of reference when human rights issues arise, because of the clear rights framework within which various issues are discussed. And ... it is a good, quick and stimulating read. - Australian Law Journal, Vol 73, December 1999
