Reviews
'Temperman does a masterful job of blending textual analysis, legal scholarship, and the workings of the UN Human Rights Committee to support definitional foundations. This work is presented with thoroughness and clarity.' Paul F. McKenna, Law Library Journal
'Engaging a wide-ranging audience that includes jurists, academics, international human rights monitoring bodies, courts, and policy and law makers ... In offering a thorough and critical examination of article 20(2) (of the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), Professor Temperman provides comprehensive insights regarding the regulations and interpretations of religion-based incitement offences. Noting the importance of balancing free speech with protection of minority rights that might be undermined by hateful, extremist factions, Professor Temperman urges the international community to consider carefully the[se] factors in achieving this delicate balance.' Zoe J. Zeng, Canadian Law Library Review
