Reviews / Votes
Praise for the previous edition. 'In a sea of human rights textbooks, International Human Rights Law and Practice by Professor Ilias Bantekas and Dr Lutz Oette stands out as a fresh explanation not only of the 'what' but of the 'why' and the 'how' of human rights. The text is unique in its detailed yet accessible practice focus. It is a key text for all students of human rights law who are interested in understanding how to apply the law to an array of practical situations. The text is filled with case studies and interviews with human rights defenders from all corners of the world, which help to shed light on complex topics. I have consistently recommended this textbook to my human rights master's students who are interested in careers in human rights practice.' Carla Ferstman, Professor of Law, University of Essex 'Professor Bantekas and Dr Oette's book on international human rights law and practice has over the years been established as an essential point of reference and as an authoritative contribution for those teaching, learning or practising international human rights. The third edition comes to enrich the topics covered in the book with yet more analysis, examples and resources, as well as to introduce the topic concerning the human rights of vulnerable groups and persons. Well-written and well-researched, the book succeeds, once again, to provide a well-rounded and in-depth analysis of some of the most contemporary global challenges concerning the protection of human rights, both in theory and in practice.' Elena Katselli, Reader in Law, Newcastle University 'International Human Rights Law and Practice by Ilias Bantekas and Lutz Oette continues to be a seminal work in the field of human rights law. The 4th edition offers an excellent blend of theory and practice, ensuring that it remains indispensable for anyone studying or working in international human rights. With its critical approach, comprehensive content, and accessible writing, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand or influence the future of human rights law' Camilo Tamayo Gomez, University of HuddersfieldMore details
