Burgorgue-Larsen & Ubeda de Torres: The Inter-American Court of Human Rights: Case Law and Commentary

Laurence Burgorgue-Larsen (Université de Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne - Law) & Amaya Ubeda de Torres (Université de Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne - Law) have published The Inter-American Court of Human Rights: Case Law and Commentary (Oxford Univ. Press 2011). Here's the abstract:
This work offers the first systematic analysis of the case law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to be published in the English language. The book provides a comprehensive collation and commentary on the jurisprudence of the Court, situating it in the broader context of international human rights law, drawing comparisons in particular with the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. It features coverage of both procedural and substantive human rights law.
