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.
