Summary
"This book presents the findings of the first comprehensive study on the most recent, and most unique and innovative method of monitoring international human rights law at the United Nations. Since its existence, there has yet to be a complete and comprehensive book solely dedicated to exploring the UPR process. Women and International Human Rights Law provides a much-needed insight to what the process is, how it operates in practice, and whether it meets its fundamental aim of promoting the universality of all human rights"-- Provided by publisher.
Note
Based on author's thesis (doctoral - University of Leicester, 2015) issued under title: How 'universal' is the United Nations' universal periodic review process? : an examination from a cultural relativist perspective.
