Critics Review

A major contribution from Latin America to the core issues of international human rights law by two talented international legal scholars of different generations which provides important insights into the doctrines as well as legal analysis of the normative framework. * Professor Mónica Pinto, Professor Emerita of International Law and Human Rights Law, University of Buenos Aires *This is an invaluable contribution to the study of international human rights law. The authors bring both sense and sensibility to bear on an array of important topics and what emerges is a highly distinctive and potentially transformative resource. * Professor Natasa Mavronicola, Professor of Human Rights Law, University of Birmingham *A succinct and very insightful account of international human rights law, and an excellent example of a collaborative approach between human rights theory and practice. * Professor Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou, Professor in Human Rights Law and Director of the International Law and Human Rights Unit, University of Liverpool *A very useful textbook with accessible and clear structure. I love its modern approach to the classification of rightsthis is a textbook that belongs to our era. * Aikaterini Tsampi, Assistant Professor of Public International Law, University of Groningen *A very comprehensive discussion of the major, foundational themes in international human rights law, with a critical, yet constructive approach and with an eye for cultural, political and regional differences. * Marjolein van den Brink, Senior Lecturer in Law, Utrecht University *Excellent. The coverage and ability to convey a lot of technical detail in such an interesting and accessible way is most impressive. It ensures that the impact of Judge Trindades work will continue into the next generation. * Elizabeth Craig, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Sussex *A contemporary, broad but in-depth review of international human rights law, showing a clear mastery of associated scholarshipa great, well-written textbook. * Dr Nicolas Kang-Riou, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Lincoln *
