The Inter-American System of Human Rights
This book, which can be used as a text for teaching purposes, gives a fascinating, and authoritative treatment both the rights protected by the Inter-American system and of the way in which its institutions work. An important part of the book is a thorough, article by article account of the guarantee in the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and in the American Convention on Human Rights of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights in the light of the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and of the Commission's many country reports on the human rights situation in particular states. There are also chapters on the rights of indigenous peoples, amnesty laws and states of emergencies. The evolution and current methods of work of the Commission and the Court are set out at length and their achievements are critically assessed. The role of non-governmental organisations is also examined in this context. The book will be invaluable to all those interested in the protection of human rights in the Americas and international human rights law generally.
The O.A.S. [Organization of American States] and the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights
Preventive detention law is a subject which continues to receive great international attention. In recent years the legal rights of detainees have been more & more frequently litigated, & significant new approaches have been developed. There is, however, no current publication which deals with the new preventive detention law. The purpose of this book is to provide a discussion of the new preventive detention law in 15 common-law jurisdictions, mainly in Asia & Africa, focusing on the practical operation of the law rather than the theoretical issues relating to the legitimacy of such laws. The book will be of practical assistance to those practicing or studying this important area of law. It will be of particular interest to human rights lawyers, activists & researchers. All the chapters are contributed by academics or practitioners specializing in the field of human rights law.
