Praise for this book

"Matthew Craven has performed an important service to the human rights community in producing this thoughtful and well-informed introduction to the interpretation and implementation of the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights."--American Journal of International Law"The book's greatest strength is that it provides the only systematic examination available in any language of the 'jurisprudence' generated by the Committee in relation to each of the specific rights analyzed."--European Journal of International Law
