Description and Table of Contents

Description

This comprehensive, section-by-section analysis of these two fundamental international treaties on human rights includes a concise comparison of their provisions with U.S. law. The authors discuss the general role played by the treaties under U.S. law, and the means of enforcing compliance. Explaining why it has taken the U.S. so long to ratify even one of the two Covenants, the authors show how the obstacles may be overcome and urge speedy ratification of the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
