Review :
This acuity of observations with Williams's rigorous analysis and thoroughgoing research make this book an invaluable tome, as much for students, academics and practitioners of Australian law, as for comparative lawyers and human rights lawyers everywhere. International and Comparative Law Quarterly Williams provides a well-researched and ably argued exegesis of the place that human rights have come to occupy in Australian constitutional law.
