Summary

"This thoroughly revised and updated edition of the standard work in its field continues the original focus on the "nuts and bolts" of international human rights law and practice. Hurst Hannum and the contributors to this volume describe in detail regional and global regimes, many of which have developed during the past two decades, and evaluate the relative effectiveness of the numerous human rights procedures that are available to today's practitioner and nongovernmental organization." "This Guide is an essential tool to assist lawyers, NGOs, academics, and other advocates who are working toward making the promotion and protection of human rights a reality for all."--BOOK JACKET.
