'Paul Taylor's Commentary is a monumental achievement. It will take its place as an indispensable guide for human rights lawyers everywhere.' Ian Leigh, Professor of Law, Durham University 'Commentaries on international treaties have become an indispensable tool for academics and practitioners alike. Paul Taylor's Commentary with its up to date analysis of the Human Rights Committee's interpretation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political is one of those. Based on an impressive wealth of documents this reference work will be an indispensable resource for all those seeking guidance for domestic implementation.' Anja Seibert-Fohr, former Vice Chair of the Human Rights Committee 'When I have a tricky problem involving the ICCPR come across my desk, whether as an academic or a practising barrister, Paul Taylor's Commentary will be the first book I will turn to for guidance. It is fresh, exhaustive (in the best sense), and authoritative.' Conor Gearty, LSE and Matrix Chambers 'Paul Taylor has composed an excellent commentary covering all the substantive articles of the ICCPR, including over 40 years of interpretive work by the UN Human Rights Committee. The author examines pertinent drafting history, the contours of various elements in each article, the interplay and interdependence of different rights, the Committee's jurisprudence, general comments and concluding observations and, where relevant, he situates his findings within the broader scheme of international human rights law, as well as academic commentary. The result is a comprehensive and compelling analysis of civil and political rights that will not only facilitate a deep and nuanced understanding of the range and scope of these rights and freedoms, but, crucially, will also make an outstanding contribution to advancing the implementation of human rights. Written in very accessible language, the book represents an essential and insightful guide for scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners.' Ahmed Shaheed, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief
