Recenzii
"The book is highly informative and thought-provocative."
Professor Dr Tareq M R Chowdhury, globallawbooks.org August 2011.
"The collection under review is a welcome addition to the already massive body of literature on the protection of human rights under international law. The essays provide a useful introduction to the main issues of that arise in this area of international law. The collection also offers a fascinating African perspective on the promotion and protection of human rights under international law. The chapters of globalisation, NGOs and human rights education, in particular, are illuminating and include useful bibliographic references that provide an excellent basis for further research."
