Reviews

'This book analyses how human rights are viewed and implemented in Asia. Each chapter provides a general introduction to rights theory and practice, discussion of the relevant case law for each form of right, and concluding remarks that situate a country's peformance within a broader comparative context.'

- Oxfam's Development Resources Review

'The chapters on France and the USA provide a benchmark for assessing how human rights have emerged and been implemented in a civil law and common jurisdiction.'

- Oxfam's Development Resources Review

'Human Rights in Asia is a well-researched, comprehensive study of rights protection and practice in Asia that is a more than useful contribution to the literature on the subject. The breadth and quality of analysis it offers is such that it would not be surprising to see it claim the mantle of the stock text for many academics, students and avid readers of the law and practice of human rights in Asia.'
