Sexual Orientation and Human Rights: The United States Constitution, the European Convention and the Canadian Charter

Rating:
Summary: Sexual Orientation and Human Rights
Review: This book is great. It provides a comparative analysis of ways in which the European Convention on Human Rights, the Canadian Charter of Rights and the US Bill of Rights protect (or fail to protect) lesbian and gay rights. It is comprehensive in its approach - the only criticism being that it is now out of date. This is a prblem particularly for the sections of Europe and Canada, as a great deal of improvement in legal protection of lesbians and gay men has occurred in those jurisdictions. But despite this, it is still a very useful book for understanding the development of rights protections in these three jurisdictions. Suitable primarily for lawyers, law students and political scientists - not really for the lay reader.
