Christine Bell is Professor of Law at the University of Ulster.
`Review from previous edition ...[Bell's] discussion of
self-determination claims makes a particularly strong contribution
to the existing literature.... an extremely insightful and original
analysis of the dynamics between international human rights law and
peace agreements. This volume is the first by a single author to
map the field of human rights provisions in peace agreements.
Bell's original contribution is magnified by her attention to
detail and
careful application of a strong analytical framework. Peace
Agreements and Human Rights will be of great interest not only to
international lawyers and human rights specialists, but also to
academics and
practitioners interested in peace and conflict issues.'
The American Journal of International Law
`... interesting and important ... extremely informative, providing
easy and ready access ... to major moves in the overall process,
key dates, the role of the leading negotiators, pertinent
statements, and the conceptualization, formulation, and
ratification of the agreements. ... Bell has made an important
contribution by her careful and accurate description of the peace
process ...'
Journal of Law and Society
`'an ambitious project that the writer meets with discipline and
determination... a valuable contribution to one of international
law's long-standing concerns of maintaining enduring peace.'
Modern Law Review
`...well researched, well argued, well written, and shows
consistent good judgement. ... it deserves to be studied closely by
all persons interested in the area of international law and
conflict. Those who do read it will come away glad that they
did.'
Human Rights Law Review
`This is an important book ... The book is detailed, scholarly and
authoritative, yet maintains an engaging narrative style and
concentrates on the moral dilemmas associated with contemporary
peace accords.'
The Ethnic Conflict
`... excellent ... a really useful dialogue between the points of
view of universal norms of human rights and realpolitik bargainers
in violent conflicts, which is respectful of both viewpoints and
helps them to understand better how their interaction assists
societies in transition.'
Just News
`Professor Christine Bell has written a lucid, valuable and
wide-ranging analysis of the role of human rights.'
