1 A capable, but less expansive, treatment was previously given by one of the contributors to the book under review. Scott Davidson, The Inter-American Human Rights System (1997), reviewed by W. Michael Reisman, 92 AJIL 784 (1998). Broad, but even less current, consideration may be found in Thomas Buer-Genthal & Dinah Shelton, Protecting Human Rights in the Americas: Cases and Materials (4th rev. ed. 1995). Several wide-ranging English-language contributions are included in El Futuro del Sistema Interamericano de Protección de los Derechos Humanos (Juan E. Méndez & Francisco Cox eds., 1998) (essays on system reform, most of them in Spanish, by some of the same authors and including one co-authored by this reviewer) [hereinafter El Futuro].
