Tistounet: The UN Human Rights Council: A Practical Anatomy

Eric Tistounet (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights) has published The UN Human Rights Council: A Practical Anatomy (Edward Elgar Publishing 2020). Here's the abstract:
Since its establishment the work of the Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has been subject to many interpretations, theories, comments or conclusions. This comprehensive book dissects every aspect of the UNHRC’s work and analyses the efficiency of, and interactions between, its mechanisms. Authored by the first Secretary of the UNHRC, this book provides unique practitioner insights into the complex decision making processes of the Council alongside the core variations from its predecessor.
