Discrimination and human rights : the case of racism

This set of essays constitutes a key contribution to the debate about the role of human rights law in combating race discrimination. Including essays by a range of leading experts, the book is a particularly important source of information and critical analysis for students, researchers, and policy akers aiming to understand both the new race Directive adopted by the EU, and the role of international human rights law, which was the focus of the UN world conference on racism, 2001.
