Gordon Dawes was called to the English Bar in 1989 and the Guernsey Bar in 2001. Having previously practised from Goldsmith Building until 1998 he is now a Partner with Ozannes, Advocates, in Guernsey.

By balancing a legal academic analysis with a rigorous evaluation of policy proposals for the integration of human rights at the Bank and Fund, Darrow appeals to a broad audience of policymakers, international legal experts, and human rights advocates. He bridges a gap between theory and practice in the existing literature on the law of international institutions. -- Galit A.
