The Practice and Procedure of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
In a thoroughly revised second edition
that incorporates the major changes made in the procedures and practice of the
Inter-American Court since the original publication of this book, Jo M.
Pasqualucci provides a comprehensive critique that is at once scholarly yet
practical. She analyzes all aspects of the Court's advisory jurisdiction,
contentious jurisdiction, and provisional measures orders through 2011. She also
compares the practice and procedure of the Inter-American Court with that of the
European Court of Human Rights, the Permanent Court of Justice, and the United
Nations Human Rights Committee. She evaluates changes in the Rules of Procedure
of the Inter-American Court that entered into force on January 1, 2010, and
which substantially change the role of the Inter-American Commission in
contentious cases before the Court. She also evaluates the challenges and means
of State compliance with the Court's innovative reparations orders. Featuring
revisions to every chapter to address the numerous new judgments, provisional
measures, and orders adopted by the Court, this book will provide an important
and updated resource for scholars, practitioners, and students of international
human rights law.
