The UN Human Rights Treaty System: Law and Procedure

Starting with an introduction to the development and nature of International Human Rights Law, this book is then split in to three parts:-

• Part 1 covers the United Nations and human rights;
• Part 2 covers the Council of Europe and the European Convention of Human Rights;
• Part 3 examines the evolving human rights agenda.

Written by a Commissioner on the Irish Human Rights Commission and a lecturer in human rights law in UCD, this book is essential reading for law students and practitioners alike.
