Reviews / Votes
Peering into the future of human rights law is akin to sizing up the promise and failings of the human soul. To understand the past and present of human rights can be a way of understanding what collectively we may become in the future, a profoundly important task to which this book is dedicated.Mary Robinson, United Nations
