概要
The definitive and inside account of Canadian human rights activist and former justice minister Irwin Cotler's extraordinary life and work. "[Cotler] is one of the great men of human rights, maybe the greatest." —Bill Browder

With the full cooperation of Irwin Cotler, his family, friends, and colleagues, John Ivison has written the first in-depth telling of the life of this incredible Canadian, who was recently the target of assassination by Iranian forces, and nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his “steadfast courage, moral clarity, profound empathy and extensive achievements in support of universal human rights.” A former Minister of Justice and Attorney General, and chair of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, the pursuit of justice has been Cotler’s guiding principle, as he has worked to resolve injustice, often on behalf of high-profile political dissidents like Nelson Mandela, Anatoly Sharansky, Saad Eddin Ibrahim, and Vladimir Kara-Murza. He is broadly revered as an inspiring figure, though he remains relatively unheralded in Canada.

Irwin Cotler places his political life in the context of his advocacy for human rights, both domestically and internationally, and opposition to antisemitism. It reveals his role as an emissary between Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin in 1977; as an advocate for Palestinian prisoners in Israel; his work with Bill Browder on the Magnitsky Act; and, as minister of justice, his passing into law the Civil Marriage Act, granting marriage equality to same-sex couples.

A resident of Montreal and now eighty-six, Irwin Cotler, has been named one of the most respected jurists and advocates of justice in our time, but his career has not been without its controversies and complications. John Ivison gives readers the whole picture of the man and his legacy to date, which reads like a modern history of global human rights advocacy, with this unique Canadian’s role at the centre of the action— risking life and limb for what’s right.
