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.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review

Destined to be the standard work for the foreseeable future on the Inter-American human rights system--the Organization of American States, its Court of Human Rights, and its Commission on Human Rights--this weighty volume towers above other books on the subject. (These include Buergenthal and Shelton, Protecting Human Rights in the Americas: Case Materials, 1995, 4th edition, and Scott Davidson, The Inter-American Human Rights System, 1996.) Fourteen specialists, including a judge of the Inter-American Court, a former president of the Inter-American Commission, and the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch/Americas, give rounded, detailed, and thought-provoking observations. A useful bibliography, tables of cases and international instruments, and nine appendixes complement the 14 chapters. The Inter-American System of Human Rights is designed for specialists. The editors, who codirect the University of Nottingham Human Rights Law Centre, England, have produced a tome to which scholars and students of international human rights law will frequently refer. Alas, the book misses the drama of human rights abuses and the failures of international human rights agencies so brilliantly captured in Iain Guest's Behind the Disappearances (1990). Specialists will nonetheless find this book a necessary addition to their collections. C. E. Welch; SUNY at Buffalo
