"This is an ambitious yet accessible analysis of the institutions that comprise the international human rights system. The book’s breadth will appeal to students and other newcomers to the field, while the rich and nuanced chapters will provide new insights for scholars, practitioners, and activists alike."
Courtney Hillebrecht, Samuel Clark Waugh Professor of International Relations, Department of Political Science, University of Nebraska–Lincoln
"DiGiacomo and Kang have assembled an excellent group of scholars to explore human rights institutions at the international and regional level and consider the interplay between institutional development and issues of accountability and enforcement. This volume is highly recommended for students and scholars alike."
Steven D. Roper, Editor-in-Chief of Human Rights Review and Professor of Political Science, Florida Atlantic University
"The Institutions of Human Rights provides a thorough account of means for protecting human rights at the domestic, regional, and international levels. It is an essential text for anyone concerned with the enforcement of human rights protections, including human rights scholars, professors, advocates, practitioners, and members of civil society, and is ideal for adoption as a core reading in human rights programs. Beyond concerning itself with the present international human rights system, it offers a critical analysis of existing mechanisms, shedding light on the way forward for human rights protections globally."
Christina Szurlej, Director, Atlantic Human Rights Centre, Acting Director & Assistant Professor, Human Rights Department, St. Thomas University, Fredericton
