Fully updated to cover topics such as climate change, trade and business activities, while retaining the original style and structure.
This leading textbook on international human rights law has been significantly updated for this new edition, introducing sections on trade and investment treaties, business and climate change. New features include more than forty new cases, figures making it easier to visualize monitoring procedures, and updated and revised 'questions for discussion'.International human rights law has expanded remarkably since the 1990s. It is therefore more important than ever to identify, beyond specific controversies, its deeper structure and the general pattern of evolution. Moreover, it has a logic of its own: though part of international law, it borrows many of its principles from domestic constitutional law. This leading textbook meets both challenges. It has been significantly updated for the new third edition, introducing sections on subjects including business and human rights, amongst other key areas. Features include forty new cases from various jurisdictions or expert bodies, and figures offering visual descriptions of the procedures discussed in the text. The 'questions for discussion' have also been systematically updated. The text retains its student-friendly design, and the features which made the previous editions so engaging and accessible remain. This popular textbook continues to be an essential tool for all students of human rights law.
'A masterpiece by one of the most learned and brilliant scholar in the field. This unique, omprehensive and updated textbook covers all aspects of international human rights law, raising all the sensitive issues today. It is an indispensable instrument for those - lawyers, civil servants, judges, professors, NGOs - who want to mobilize human rights in their practice.' Françoise Tulkens, former judge at the European Court of Human Rights
'This textbook has been essential reading for anyone teaching or researching international human rights for the last decade, and the new edition continues to be an indispensable resource for students and scholars alike.' Mikael Rask Madsen, iCourts, University of Copenhagen
