Murphy & Mansson: Peace Operations and Human Rights

Ray Murphy (National Univ. of Ireland, Galway - Irish Centre for Human Rights) & Katarina Mansson (National Univ. of Ireland, Galway - Irish Centre for Human Rights) have published Peace Operations and Human Rights (Routledge 2008). Here's the abstract:
The protection and promotion of human rights is an integral part of contemporary international peacekeeping operations. It is also a controversial aspect of peace operations at both an institutional and operational level. By bringing together a wide range of practitioners and academic scholars, this special issue addresses key contemporary legal, political and operational challenges to human rights protection.
