Abstract

Book Reviews 229 Covenant on Civil and Political Rights: Cases, Materials and Commentary provides an invaluable resource to human rights advocates, judges, legal practitioners, governments, NGOs, and scholars and students of human rights. Previously, the only works to attempt a wide-ranging account of the Committee's work were Nowak's, UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights: CCPR Commentary (1993) and McGoldrick's, The Human Rights Committee: Its Role in the Development of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1994). Whilst these remain significant pioneering milestones in recording the development of the Human Rights Committee's jurisprudence, neither aspired to provide the comprehensive account that Joseph, Schulz and Castan have succeeded in providing. Similarly, in recent years numerous works have provided exemplary accounts of the application of international human rights law in domestic courts - such as Harris' and Joseph's (eds), The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and United Kingdom Law (1995), Hart, Using Human Rights Law in English Courts (1997) and Jayawikrama's recent encyclopaedic, The Judicial Application of Human Rights Law: National, Regional and International Jurisprudence (2002).
