I'm always somewhat conflicted regarding No Man's Land. Why? Well, the situation we're dealing with here - Gotham City being abandoned and declared a No Man's Land after it's been almost completely destroyed by an earthquake - is extremely contrived, and it always takes me a bit to get over that (and yes, even though the chapters in which Superman tries to help do make their point, it's also very hard to believe the JLA and everybody else don't just repair everything right away). But once you get over that, you get some really great stories about the people who stay there (and some not-so-great ones; I'm not that fond of the the Huntress-and-Batman-bits). Among my favorites are Renee Montoya, her family and Two-Face, plus the story where Clark comes to Gotham, but the centerpiece of No Man's Land is the Batman-Gordon-Gotham relationship, that is both Batman's relationship with Gotham, Gordon's relationship with Gotham and - the most heartbreaking one - Batman's relationship with Gordon, culminating in a scene that never fails to touch me. Sigh. Another high point is what Bruce does during the final hours of No Man's Land, or rather, the result of his manipulations. I love it when he uses the Brucie persona like that. So even though there are bits where I'm reading it going "meh" (especially because the art is for the most part bearable at best), there are enough really interesting moments that the fourth star is well-earned. I do hate the ending for Gordon, though, really, really, really hate it because it makes a point that doesn't need to be made, in my opinion.

BOOK REVIEW THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS - Sceptical Essays Edited by Tom Campbell, KD Ewing and Adam Tomkins Oxford University Press ISBN: 978-0-19-960608-5 www.oup.com HUMAN RIGHTS: A MIXED RECORD? An Appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers If you’ve ever had any cause to be sceptical about human rights, or rather, human rights legislation with many of its implications, whether UK-based or worldwide, then this book is for you. It contains a choice collection of ‘sceptical essays’ on human rights from 24 leading human rights scholars from around the world, encompassing not only the EU and the UK, but a number of other jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, the United States and more besides. As the editors point out, the spirit of scepticism surrounding human rights issues in the UK has been fuelled by ‘the apparent paradox of a Human Rights Act being introduced by a government which then proceeded to go a long way to dismantle the very rights and freedoms which the Human Rights Act was designed to protect’. Underlining their point, the authors cite extended police powers of arrest and search…the extension of surveillance powers of local authorities (without the necessity of a warrant)…and the increased use of CCTV and the DNA database, said to be the world’s largest. There have been other disconcerting developments in response to, ostensibly, the ‘war on terror’, namely the indefinite detention of terrorist suspects without their being convicted, the use of control orders and the ugly suspicion of a lax attitude to torture. We must add here that at the time of the book’s publication by OUP in July 2010, the UK’s new coalition government had been in place for only about three months and, as we write in the first quarter of 2011, many of the above mentioned excesses have already been modified or dismantled altogether. Nevertheless, human rights continues to be a vexed issue requiring continuing vigilance and, yes, a spirit of enlightened and informed scepticism which this book exemplifies. The editors identify 2 kinds of scepticism here: ideological and institutional. Ideological scepticism revolves mainly around ‘doubts about the politically biased content of much of human rights law.’ Institutional skepticism focuses on the (very worrying) decline in recent years of the role of parliaments and the corresponding extension of the political role of the courts in interpreting and enforcing human rights legislation. In drawing attention to these concerns, this book has done a worthy service in adding argument and ammunition to this debate, the outcome of which will certainly affect us all. To aid further research -- as well as debate -- the book is meticulously foot noted and, for the convenience of practitioners, academics and students alike, there are copious tables of cases, treaties and legislation. So, the jury has gone out again with a new Bill of Rights committee, but it is a mixed record they are now reviewing.
