"Kent combines primary and secondary research into a detailed case study that tells us important things about both China's relations with the external world and the strengths and limits of contemporary multilateral human rights institutions." * Jack Donnelly, University of Denver *
"Ann Kent's
China, the United Nations, and Human Rights is remarkable in that it provides both an in-depth analysis of China's human rights policy and its interaction with the various United Nations organs concerned with human rights, and an assessment of the UN human rights regime's success. . . . For all these reasons, and because it is so well written and researched, Ann Kent's new book is a much-welcomed, much-needed addition to the study of human rights and China." *
