Promoting Human Rights through Bills of Rights Comparative Perspectives

In this timely volume Professor Alston and a team of distinguished contributors examine the consequences of international human rights treaty obligations at national level. The problems addressed include the transformation of international norms into national law; how to prepare appropriatedomestic arrangements for giving effect to international norms (with particular emphasis on the role of the bill of rights); and an assessment of the impact of international obligations on domestic legal regimes.
