About the Book

Most personal histories of apartheid in Southern Africa tell the story of the armed struggle. This book is about opposition to apartheid within the law and through the law. South Africa achieved notoriety for its apartheid policies and practices both in the country and in Namibia. Today Israel stands accused of applying apartheid in the Palestinian territories it has occupied since 1967. Confronting Apartheid examines the regimes of these three societies from the perspective of the author's experiences as a human rights lawyer in South Africa and Namibia and as a UN human rights envoy in occupied Palestine. John Dugard describes the work he undertook in defense of human rights in South West Africa/Namibia, South Africa, and more recently in occupied Palestine.

About the Author :
John Dugard is a renowned legal academic who pioneered the human rights movement in South Africa. He has been director of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law at Cambridge, professor of international law at Leiden University, member of the UN International Law Commission, UN special rapporteur on human rights in occupied Palestine, and judge ad hoc of the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Review :
“John Dugard’s vivid historical and comparative study of injustice in three societies not only shows how law has been – and is being – used as an instrument of racial injustice, but reminds us powerfully of the need to confront racial oppression wherever it occurs.” – Edwin Cameron ‘ …serves to remind us of the depths to which humankind may sink in its determination to secure the supposed superiority of one racial group over another.’ – Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu…a highly readable narrative that brings to bear his vast experiences and contributes to a deeper understanding of urgent issues of Justice in our time.’ – Raja Shehadeh, prominent Palestinian human rights lawyer …Dugard’s work and now fascinating book provides insights essential for every person interested in human rights and especially for cause lawyers.’ – Michael Sfard, leading Israeli human rights lawyer
