Sally Engle Merry Human rights and gender violence
translating international law into local justice

The book investigates the tensions between global law and local justice from an insider's perspective. As an observer of UN diplomatic netotiations as well as the workings of grassroots feminist organizations in several countries, Merry shows how human rights law holds authorities accountable for the protection of citizens even while it reinforces and expands state power.
