The European Convention on Human Rights and Social Security Law
It is extremely useful that Cousins has taken it upon himself to systematise the Strasbourg Court’s practice through the lens of social security.
[…] apt and refreshing […] a very useful tool, not only for practitioners but also for researchers who work in this area. His summing up of the cases and of the court’s arguments constitutes a valuable short cut to knowledge that is otherwise concealed in the rather inadequate search function of the Strasbourg Court’s website. By using social security as the systematising principle, Cousins opens up new angles and thereby contributes to the generation of new knowledge.’
Kirsten Ketcher in European Journal of Social Security 2010 (87).

The Humanitarian Face of the International Court of Justice
‘Although such a book has been long awaited by academics, students and practitioners of human rights and public international law worldwide, it has been worth waiting for this volume […] it offers the reader a good point of departure for exploring the contribution of the International Court of Justice to interpreting and developing international rules and principles of international human rights and humanitarian law. In other words, in many ways it fills a gap by providing a systematic, in-depth and detailed study of the influence and contribution of the International Court of Justice in international human rights and humanitarian law. […] The author of this book has invested much research, practical experience, time and patience in its preparation and has produced an important addition to the academic literature in English on public international law and international human rights and humanitarian law, particularly on the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice. It is an excellent starting point for advanced research and academic work in international law and an indispensable reference tool for students and practitioners. It can only be hoped that the author will find the time and patience to also publish this edition in Albanian (his mother tongue) and in French to make it accessible to a wider audience.’
