Recenzii
'In this important study, Professor Comstock argues that understanding the different legal pathways to treaty commitment also sheds crucial light on compliance. Through this well-justified, more nuanced, approach, the author uncovers new evidence that international human rights law can - under the right social and legal conditions - matter for the protection of civil liberties and women's rights.' Jana von Stein, Associate Professor, School of Politics and International Relations, The Australian National University
'UN Human Rights Treaties and Legal Paths for Commitment and Compliance by Audrey L. Comstock is an ambitious, carefully-researched and well-written book that explains why and how international human rights law can shape states' human rights practices. Comstock unpacks four different treaty ratification types and connects these ratification types with compliance. Over the course of careful and broad-reaching empirical analysis, this book provides readers with insights into how states' domestic context intersects with the specific features of international human rights law. In doing so, this book fills an important gap in the existing literature: it connects the dots between states' commitment to human rights treaties and their subsequent compliance with them.' Courtney Hillebrecht, Samuel Clark Waugh Distinguished Professor International Relations at University of Nebraska-Lincoln
'Most people assume that states have to ratify a treaty in order for it to be effective but Committed to Rights presents a more nuanced account of treaty approval. Countries can also commit to treaties through signature, accession and succession, which Comstock identifies as distinct 'legal commitment paths.' She squeezes a surprising and compelling amount of analytical juice out of these legal distinctions and demonstrates the distinct way that each them shapes a country's performance on human rights.'

Descriere
How states commit to UN human rights treaties, not only whether they do so, is crucial to improving human rights.
