Murphy, George Washington University, US 'This book provides a solid understanding of international human rights law at a time of increasing complexity, fragmentation and contestation. With depth and perspective, Dinah Shelton threads critical historical moments in the development, application and enforcement of this law. An invaluable source of knowledge and inspiration for anyone interested in the power and limits of international legal argument and available remedies for defending human rights.' --Jessica Almqvist, Lund University, Sweden About the Author Dinah L.
