Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Human rights scholars tend to focus on particular rights which spark their interest. My research some 20 years ago on freedom of thought, conscience and religion was launched by some unplanned engagement in advocacy and trial observation in the Cold War era. A recurring challenge since has been to grapple with international human rights law across a broad spectrum, a task made all the more confronting by the sheer scale and almost fractal complexity of the network of declarations, conventions and other instruments which the subject encompasses. This work spans all rights to be guaranteed under International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, one of the centrepiece conventions within the UN human rights system. It describes how the constituent elements of the Covenant integrate within a composite scheme of rights protection, across the full suite of civil and political rights. It is written at a time when the UN is under extreme financial and other pressure. Proposals are occasionally made for reform of the UN human rights system, including the Covenant. This book, finally, aims to present the Covenant with its imperfections, as well as its obvious and less well conspicuous advantages, so that its merits at least are not unduly sacrificed in reform proposals"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition, this book is the authoritative text on one of the world's most important human rights treaties, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Covenant is of universal relevance. Adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1966 and in force from 1976, it commits the signatories and parties to respect the civil and political freedoms and rights of individuals. Monitored by the UN Human Rights Committee, the Covenant ratified by the majority of UN member states. The book meticulously extracts and analyzes the jurisprudence over nearly forty years of the UN Human Rights Committee, on each of the various ICCPR rights, including the right to life, the right to freedom from torture, the right of freedom of religion, the right of freedom of expression, and the right to privacy, as well as admissibility criteria under the First Optional Protocol. Key miscellaneous issues, such as reservations, derogations, and denunciations, are also thoroughly assessed. Comprehensively indexed and cross-referenced, this book offers elegant and straight-forward access to the jurisprudence of the Human Rights Committee and other UN human rights treaty bodies. Presented in a clear and illuminating manner, it will be of use to the judiciary, human rights practitioners, human rights activists, government institutions, academics, and students alike.
