This book takes account of 12 years' substantial developments, in what has remained a field of dynamic growth. There have been changes in the norms and institutions available to deal with some evil practices that those in power inflict on those subjects to their power: torture, enforced disappearance, summary and arbitrary execution , the death penalty, corporal punishment, and wantonly cruel conditions of deprivation of freedom.
