N2  - Murray's analysis challenges the applicability of international law to the African situation. This book not only makes an important contribution to legal scholarship but will serve as a reference work, a textbook and an invaluable practitioners tool.

The book is an important contribution not only to a better understanding of the African human rights system but perhaps a pace-setter for the possible harmonisation of the practices of both the UN and regional systems on some important concepts of international law.
