Book Reviews of International Human Rights in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

Book Review: Nutshell Series: International Human Rights
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a good general overview of international organizations created to protect human rights. It's a great starting point if you know nothing and need some direction. Two issues: 1) the book needs to be updated to reflect recent changes in the United Nations organization, and 2) there are so many citations to other references that it is a difficult read.

Summary of International Human Rights in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

The text is designed to both serve as a self-contained introduction to the international law of human rights and to complement other course materials by providing the reader with a concise overview of human rights norms and the institutional context within which they evolve. The text has grown significantly in size, however, to take account many new developments in the field. It provides the scope and highlights you need to excel in understanding this field. This will enable you to answer exam questions more quickly and accurately, and enhance your skills as an attorney.
