    • Summary:"Now in its second edition, this book gives the reader unique insight into Canadian human rights law and its interplay with the country's international human rights commitments. Specifically, the book focuses on the disparity between the rich human rights vocabulary of Canada's commitments under international law, and the much more limited use of the phrase (3 )4z (Bhuman rights (3 )4y (Bin domestic law. Written by a university professor with specializations in both philosophy and law, the book gives a balanced legal/philosophical perspective which is rare to find in a book dealing with this subject matter; moreover, this balanced perspective enables the reader to better understand this area of law."--pub. desc.
