'In The Hidden Hands of Justice, Heidi Nichols Haddad delivers a path breaking scholarly account of the myriad ways that NGOs interact with, support, legitimize, and seek to influence three of the most important contemporary supra-national courts. This book should command great interest from scholars, policymakers, and activists interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the potential as well as the limitations of NGOs in advancing human rights, international courts, and global governance more generally.' Victor Peskin, Arizona State University, University of California, Berkeley and author of International Justice in Rwanda and the Balkans: Virtual Trials and the Struggle for State Cooperation
