Analyzing case law from the three jurisdictions as examples, Tshosa (U. of Botswana) explores how international law, especially concerning human rights, can have an enriching and enhancing effect on national norms and protections for human rights. He argues that current theories about the relationship between international and municipal laws are over-simplistic, and do not accord with actual state practice. His study is divided into sections on the colonial period, new departures at independence, and post-independence practice, then draws general conclusions. It is based on his Ph.D. (1999, U. of Edinburgh), and is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
