Human rights are invoked on many occasions. But are they more than lofty values and abstract principles? This book shows how human rights create legal entitlements for those protected by them and impose obligations on those bound by them. [W]hy can we not have more publications like this? While there are plenty of books concerned with international human rights protection, Kälin and Künzli's work is one of a kind. It engages the reader from the very first moment and guides them throughout the topic in a clear, concise and readily comprehensible manner. Undoubtedly, 'The Law of Human Rights Protection' will prove to be a valuable asset in the hands of not only academics and human rights lawyers, but also students, who are stepping into this extremely fascinating, yet complex, area of law.
