Pustorino: Introduction to International Human Rights Law

Pietro Pustorino
(Luiss Univ. - Law) has published Introduction to International Human Rights Law (Asser Press 2023). Here's the abstract:
This book offers a compact but general introduction to international human rights law. It discusses the theoretical, historical and legal foundations of international human rights law, providing an encompassing analysis of the substantive content of the most important human rights and of the role of States and non-State actors in ensuring their respect. It also carries out a specific analysis of the UN system and the ECHR and other regional systems – all this while constantly situating the discussion on international human rights law within the broader framework of public international law.
