Reviews
"…now accepted as one of the most authoritative works on human rights in the context of United Kingdom law."
Lord Woolf
"In a compact form, with excellent indexes…logical presentation of material…book provides access to an enormous wealth of human rights legal analysis and reasoning."
Australian Law Journal
"…impress hugely by their authority, erudition and clarity."
Medial Lawyer
"An advantage of Lester and Pannick is that the text of the Convention is presented in a box and is visually distinguishable from commentary and case notes…For busy judges and legal practitioners, the most important part of each text is the summary of materials relevant to treaty provisions."
Australian Law Journal
"…provides an excellent, concise overview of the context in which rights have been 'brought home'."
Philip Leach, Director, European Human Rights Advocacy Centre
"…attractively presented, accurately printed and brings credit on the editors, authors and publishers."
Australian Law Journal
"It is my impression that the first edition was more frequently relied on in the decisions of the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords than any other…book in the field."
The Rt. Hon. Lord Steyn
"The authors adopt an accessible format of short, numbered paragraphs, with footnoted references….This is essential reading and provides an excellent resource for all human rights practitioners and students."
