Together with new co-author Hurst Hannum, Richard Lillich has completely updated International Human Rights: Problems of Law, Policy, and Practice to reflect all the latest developments in Yugoslaiva, Haiti, Rwanda, and worldwide. The new edition of this leading book offers a comprehensive presentation of critical issues and events that reflect the advances and challenges of enforcing human rights in the post-cold war era.
ha, i was surprised to find this book on here, but since all i read is for school these days, i might as well include it. it looks like a big boring law book, and at times it is, but it is pretty current and has lots of interesting discussion pieces, particularly on the human rights issues surrounding Guantanamo Bay and the war on terror (and including the internal memos regarding torture between Gonzales, Bybee, Bush, etc). i'm not going to recommend this for light fun reading, but it's a good law book.
