Human Rights Regimes in the Americas Paperback – September 20, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
This book examines the complex role of human rights norms and standards throughout the region, illustrating the evolution and impact of international conventions, laws, and institutions. The chapters combine historical detail with a focus on present-day challenges for regional and domestic human rights regimes, highlighting particular obstacles, successful approaches, and strategies. Through case studies in North, Central, and South America, the volume provides a rich account of the evolving regional environment for rights protection and promotion.
"At last, we have a quality overview of human rights progress and challenges in the Americas. This volume fills a crucial gap in the literature, allowing us to assess the complex and fascinating human rights ebb and flow that has been the experience of Latin America, including the often contradictory role of the United States as champion and obstacle."Richard Falk, Albert G. Milbank Professor Emeritus of International Law, Princeton University
"A very authoritative overview written by some of the real experts on the subject."William A. Schabas, director, Irish Centre for Human Rights
