International human rights law is among the broadest, most-dynamic and controversial topics in legal study. In this book, Javaid Rehman offers a comprehensive and practical examination of the workings of human rights protection and presents a considered legal analysis of such sensitive issues as non-discrimination, rights of minorities, indigenous peoples, and the rights of women and children.
He also explores areas such as enforced disappearances; torture; and terrorism – all highly topical and contentious issues which continue to dominate much of today’s social, political and legal debate.
This clear and straightforward analysis provides the definitive introduction to the area for undergraduate (LLB) and postgraduate (LLM) courses in international human rights law and international relations. The book will also benefit practitioners seeking to gain a basic understanding of the procedures of international human rights law.
- Simple, straightforward analysis ensuring that students understand fully the complex system of international human rights law.

- Practical approach preparing the student to understand and utilize the existing mechanism for protecting human rights.
- Analyses new concerns in human rights dealing with previously overlooked areas of human rights.
