Focusing on strategic human rights litigation (SHRL), this book explores its role in effecting personal, legal, social, political, and cultural change while addressing the inherent tensions and challenges. Through five detailed case studies, including issues like genocide, slavery, and torture, it highlights the complexities of SHRL's real-world impact. The author advocates for a reframing of SHRL's effects, both positive and negative, and discusses how impact analysis can shape more effective future litigation strategies.
