Opis

This book gives a fresh and fascinating analytical account of the Inter-American Convention of Human Rights, a pact that includes substantive guarantees of economic, social, and cultural rights. These guarantees are examined not only from the US perspective, but also from a Latin American angle, with a considerable focus on amnesty, emergencies, and the protection of minorities and indigenous peoples.

Recenzje

Destined to be the standard work for the forseeable future on the Inter-American human rights system ... this weighty volume towers above other books on the subject ... Fourteen specialists ... give rounded, detailed, and thought-provoking observations ... a tome to which scholars and students of international human rights law will frequently refer.
