Reviews for A Handbook of International Human Rights Terminology
"A timely and practical contribution to teachers and students of international human rights."-The Law and Politics Review. The Law and Politics Review "Compact and comprehensive ... Conde's work strikes an excellent balance between breadth of coverage and depth of definition."-Choice. Choice "A very helpful tool for better understanding of our international scene."-International Journal on World Peace. International Journal on World Peace "The most comprehensive, accessible dictionary of human rights terms to date... What makes this handbook a significant contribution to the growing number of dictionaries and reference books on human rights and public international law is its accessibility to those who study and work in human rights outside of the academy and the international legal profession. The Handbook is accessible in its tone because a number of important concepts are defined with examples and are linked to related entries elsewhere in the book."
Mark Massoud, International Journal on World Peace. International Journal on World Peace "The Handbook is a helpful, wide ranging aide to the study and understanding of human rights. It is designed for those just beginning their studies in human rights, especially to help them understand the sometimes complex language of human rights discourse... The wide selection of terms being defined should answer the needs of most students
and many practitioners."
David E. Guinn, Human Rights and Human Welfare Human Rights and Human Welfar
