’The book investigates in a refreshing manner the strong transnational dimension that characterizes the current protection of human rights. Respectful of the divide between international law and domestic law, its authors carefully examine the interaction, tension and cross-contamination between these legal orders as well as between different jurisdictions.’ Tarcisio Gazzini, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands ’This book is a welcome addition to the discourse on the processes by which law crosses borders and impacts human rights. It covers a diverse range of issues that are relevant to the transference of norms both vertically and horizontally as they affect various geographical regions. This is an ideal resource for all who study, and are interested in, norm transference in today’s world.’ Sha-Shana Crichton, Howard University School of Law, USA
