‘This Handbook will quickly become the first stop for all interested in human rights, whether they are academics, activists or civil servants. It provides a clear and accessible guide to international human rights law, but never sacrifices sophistication for simplicity. The authors cover a great range of human rights issues in an imaginative way and alert the reader to the major debates and controversies. This is a valuable contribution to the international protection of human rights.’
