Recenzii
[The authors’] intention is one of examining ‘how and the degree to which universally accepted human rights are enforced in Australian law.’ (p 26). That the book achieves this end cannot be questioned. It is a carefully structured, highly detailed and exceptionally well referenced consideration of the historical progession of the definition and protection of human rights, both on the international stage and in Australia (to which they devote three-quarters of the book). For the generalist such as myself, the potted history of human rights law in chapter 1 was actually fascinating reading … From the Magna Carta to the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the authors weave a story that is both factual and discursive. … At the end of the first 212 pages of solid reading, … there is no doubt the reader will be informed to the extent of being able to conduct an intelligent debate about Australia’s position on human rights. … The remainder of the book appears to be more for the specialist. If you are interested or work in the equal opportunity, indigenous rights, or immigration arenas there is plenty here for you … Public Administration Today, July-October 2005 Retreat from Injustice offers an incisive analysis of the effectiveness (or perhaps ineffectiveness) of the mechanisms to protect human rights in Australia. It raise the fundamental question of how rights can best be protected in Australia and reveals, at least to this reader, the stark inadequacy of the current methods. … Let’s hope the next edition will be able to bring some good news. UNSW Law Journal, Vol 27(3) 2004 Just got hold of a copy of your book and have read about 3 chapters so far. It's good, in fact it's very good. It fills a number of holes in available literature and provides some useful summaries of things I have not had time to comprehensively look at eg current use of Magna Carta, 1688 Bill of Rights etc. Congratulations to you and your fellow writers. Simeon Beckett, Barrister Indications of the research value of this book to students, practitioners and to those dedicated to improving human rights can be found in the 19 pages devoted to cases; the 18 pages devoted to statutes; and the 14 pages of general index, quite apart from the copious footnotes. … At 1c a page this book is worth every cent of the $85 recommended price.
