Eva Rieter studied law at Maastricht University (Master of Dutch law, specialization international law, 1995). She went on to obtain an LL.M degree at the University of Virginia School of Law (LL.M. 1996, specializations human rights law and US law), where she also worked as a research assistant for Prof. R.B. Lillich and received the McClure Fellowship in human rights. She joined the Maastricht Centre for Human Rights in 1997. In 1999 she received a Max van der Stoel Human Rights award for her article 'Interim Measures by the World Court to Suspend the Execution of an Individual: the Breard Case'. She has published a range of articles and is the co-author. She has taught public international law and human rights at Maastricht University School of Law and University College Maastricht. Currently she is senior researcher and assistant professor at Radboud University Nijmegen.
'Rieter's book is a very worthwhile and sorely needed reference. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive and organized explanation of provisional measures and the bodies that may issue them. Its most important contribution is found in the middle chapters addressing the various situations and kinds of harm previously addressed by human rights tribunals when granting provisional measures, although the practical suggestions to human rights tribunals are also surely welcome. Researchers, human rights defenders and the tribunals themselves will find much in Rieter's volume to strengthen and enrich their work. Ideally, the information it contains will contribute not only to better understanding of provisional measures, but also to coherence in, and progressive development of, this area of the law.'
