Double-weighted statement
170,000 words in length, The UN and Human Rights involved extensive research across different areas of public international law, as well as legal theory and socio-legal studies. A vast literature did exist on particular UN interventions (e.g. peacekeeping and international administration of territory), but there had been no attempt to examine, systematically and comprehensively, the wide range of legal issues raised by the exercise of governmental functions by the UN. In addition to doctrinal challenges, the book employed empirical methods, which are seldom used in legal monograph, in the analysis of certain UN operations (e.g. the administration of refugee camps).
