This Commentary is part of the prestigious Oxford Commentaries on International Law. This book differs from the other commentaries published in this series on a very important point: While most of them are team works where the editor fulfils first of all (but, of course, not exclusively) a coordinating function, Thornberry has written the whole text on his own - a really impressive achievement! Impressive is the result also as to its content. * Peter Hilpold, International Journal on Minority and Group Rights * It moves beyond the old travaux-based model of understanding the treaty's meaning,9 supplementing it with a practice-based model rooted in the COs, EW/UA, GRs and ICs, themselves reflective of the individuals and groups who have sought out the treaty's protection. Allied with renewed global concerns around race and racial discrimination in the twenty-first century, it ought to mark far greater engagement with CERD procedures from the human rights community and wider actors in the next 50 years and beyond. - David Keane, Human Rights Law Review Author InformationPatrick Thornberry CMG is Emeritus Professor of International Law at Keele University, an Honorary Professor of Law at the University of Nottingham, and a former Visiting Fellow of Kellogg College, University of Oxford.
