Description: "No familiarity with international law is required: van Ert begins with an introduction to the international legal system and goes on to elucidate such difficult questions as the relevance of treaties to judicial decision-making, the place of custom in Canadian law, and the role of international human rights norms in Charter analysis. The approach is practical and the analysis driven by case-law. Yet van Ert's exhaustive treatment of the constitutional, statutory and common-law rules of Anglo-Canadian reception law will also interest academics and students."--BOOK JACKET.
