`...a rich and informed survey of debates, problems and illustrations of how human rights penetrate all spheres of life...an up-to-date survey of human rights 'issues', a balanced, yet straight-forward and critical account of human rights norms, institutions and debates, a brilliant tool for teaching...and above all a well argued proof of the power of human rights in our contemporary world...In weaving together different aspects and demonstrating how human rights are important in all of them the authors...succeed in opening up new avenues to connect human rights with processes and developments that have long evaded scrutiny from the point of view of human rights scholarship. Marks and Clapham have written the book in an accessible style...yet the authority in the presentation and command of the subject is evident... thoughtful and reflective...goes beyond a traditional presentation of international human rights law...' Gerd Oberleitner, Modern Law Review, November 2006 `An excellent scholarly and introductory guide for graduate and doctoral students as well as practitioners, the Marks and Clapham work is also accessible to anyone interested in approaching the contemporary world through the lenses of human rights thought and being aware of the underlying scholarly debates that shape the discipline.
