Book Launch.

Professor Christopher Waters, together with his co-editor, James A. Green, launched Adjudicating International Human Rights on 14 January 2014 at the School of Law, University of Reading, in the UK.  

The book honours Professor Sandy Ghandhi, a former colleague of Waters', on his retirement from law teaching. It does so through a series of targeted essays which probe the framework and adequacy of international human rights adjudication.

Eminent international law scholars (such as Sir Nigel Rodley, Professor Javaid Rehman and Professor Malcolm Evans), along with emerging writers in the field, take Professor Ghandhi’s body of work—focussed on human rights protection through legal institutions—as a starting point for a variety of analytical essays.

Adjudicating International Human Rights includes chapters devoted to human rights protection in a number of different institutional contexts, ranging from the ICJ and the Human Rights Committee to truth commissions and NAFTA arbitration tribunals.  

While in Reading, Waters also gave a talk on his research into the legal history of the First World War.
