In a series of lively and engaging European case-studies—Denmark, Germany, Northern Ireland, the Czech Republic, and Bosnia-Herzegovina—she provides not only new information about but valuable insight into the range of achievements and limitations of this increasingly popular mechanism for improving the realization of human rights."
