That is the particular merit of this path-breaking book. The author, who was one of the pioneers in the establishment and operation of the system of special procedures, tells in this book the story of the establishment, history, operations, successes and challenges of the special procedures through the lens of efforts for international protection. In the introduction he summarizes their protection roles, which he sets out further in the substantive chapters. In the conclusion he provides an assessment of their protection roles. He notes that while they contribute greatly, the challenges of international protection are still many, and the author invites the international community to a higher level of protection. 410 0$aNijhoff law specials ;$v74. 606 $aHuman rights monitoring 606 $aHuman rights$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aHuman rights monitoring. 615 0$aHuman rights$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a341.4/8 700 $aRamcharan$b B.
