Review
`this book will be of great interest to anyone, practitioners and academics alike, with an interest in human rights law.' Helene Lambert, Int. and Comparative law Quarterly, Vol.49, Oct 2000.
`Shelton's book is ... insightful through its comparative review of the jurisprudence of the European and Intra-American Courts of Human Rights in their provision of remedies to individual victims of human rights violations.' Helene Lambert, Int. and Comparative law Quarterly, Vol.49, Oct 2000.
`Shelton's book offers a lucid appraisal of the role of the different types of remedies in human rights litigation.' Helene Lambert, Int. and Comparative law Quarterly, Vol.49, Oct 2000.
`an important study that illuminates an area of law that has been evolving too slowly, too narrowly and too inwardly looking.' Helene Lambert, Int. and Comparative law Quarterly, Vol.49, Oct 2000.
`... a valuable overview of the law and practice governing remedies ... urges litigants to show greater attention to their requests for remedies - a task that will unquestionably be far more feasible with the publication of this book. .. the book is a valuable resource. Indeed, because of Shelton's comprehensive approach and her important, well-documented conclusions, the book will undoubtedly change the international discourse on the problem of providing remedies for human rights violations.' The American Journal of International Law, Vol. 95, 2001
