Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Foreword by Gianni Magazzeni, former Senior UN/OHCHR Official and UPR Chief at the United Nations. This book analyses the impact of the United Nations’ Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process through a case study of the UK. It advances a dual-perspective assessment of the UPR: the ‘external’ perspective, which focuses on a state’s practice at the UPR, and the ‘internal’ perspective, which examines the influence of the UPR on the executive, legislature and judiciary. The author introduces a new framework for assessing state participation, drawing on Kathryn Sikkink’s ‘Evidence for Hope’ to advance the methodological rigour of UPR research. The UK context explored in the book highlights the influence of domestic politics, institutional capacity and accountability processes, with implications for Westminster systems worldwide. It is crucial reading for scholars, policy makers and practitioners of international human rights law.

Following the publication of The Stones Bear Witness, the second book in this series takes the reader on a tour of biblical Jerusalem. On this journey, the reader will again encounter many places and artifacts providing support that the Bible is not a book of myths and fables but a special revelation of true events that actually occurred in history. In some chapters, the author takes a biblical story and shows the archaeological evidence supporting the historicity of the event. In other chapters, a comparison of traditional thought is cross-examined with archaeological evidence. Even though Jerusalem is a very old city, the historical record of biblical events are still present, adding tremendous evidence to show that the Bible can be trusted and is authentic.

Critics of the Bible today often say, "Science has disproved the Bible." Others say that there is no evidence to support that the Bible is anything more than a book of myths and fables. But the science of archaeology is seldom mentioned by these critics. Even though no provable archaeological discovery has disproved the Bible, there have been thousands of discoveries that support the authenticity of the Bible. This book is designed to show just a few of these discoveries. In this book, the author has visited and photographed many sites and will show the archaeological evidence that can be found there and how it supports biblical accounts. The main purpose of this book is to show evidence that the Bible can be trusted and is authentic.
