Description

"The first edition of this book set down and examined a field of international human rights law that had barely existed a decade or so earlier. The present edition takes account of 12 years' substantial developments, in what has remained a field of dynamic growth. There have been changes in the norms and institutions available to deal with some of the most evil practices that those in power inflict on those subject to their power: torture, enforced disappearence, summary and arbitrary execution, the death penalty, corporal punishment, and wantonly cruel conditions of deprivation of freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
