Reviews

`Isaac de Paz Gonzalez provides a valuable survey of the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights dealing with the rights of indigenous peoples and children, the rights of labour, and the right to health. The book is an important resource for students and scholars to reflect on important questions about the interactions among rights, about complex remedies, and about compliance with human rights.' -- Mark Tushnet, Harvard University, US


`This monologue is a most poignant piece of work and it has -- been published at a time of enormous political, economic and environmental disruptions.' - Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer `In recent years, inequality and the denial of social rights have gained increasing prominence on the human rights agenda in response to the return of the worst features of the Gilded Age. This up-to-date review of the past twenty years of the relevant jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights highlights impressive recent initiatives taken by the Court. It is an important reference work for understanding the evolution of this major system of rights protection.' -- Philip Alston, New York University, School of Law, US `Isaac de Paz Gonzalez provides a valuable survey of the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights dealing with the rights of indigenous peoples and children, the rights of labour, and the right to health.
