Cartea "The Inter-American System of Human Rights (Hardback)"

ACSC |T International Human Rights
This book gives a fascinating, analytical account of the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights - which gives substantive guarantees of economic, social and cultural rights. These guarantees are examined not only from the US perspective, but also from a Latin-American angle, including considerable focus on the protection of minorities and indigenous peoples, as well as on amnesties and emergencies. The system of supervision of this convention is also dealt with at length, including an examination of its achievements and its weaknesses. The role of non-governmental organizations is also examined in this context. This book will be invaluable to all those with an interest in international human rights.
