International Human Rights Litigation: A Guide for Judges
Autor Federal Judicial Centeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mar 2017 – vârsta de la 18 ani
The
purpose
of
this
guide
is
to
help
federal
judges
adjudicate
civil
cases
alleging
human
rights
violations
under
domestic
and
international
law.
In
the
common
vernacular,
the
phrase
“human
rights”
often
is
construed
broadly
to
encompass
many
forms
of
civil
rights
and
constitutional
claims.
The
focus
here
is
narrower.
This
guide
addresses
cases
with
an
international
dimension
brought
in
federal
court
pursuant
to
specific
U.S.
statutes
that
provide
jurisdiction
over
such
claims.
These
cases
include
rights-based
legal
disputes
involving
foreign
plaintiffs
or
defendants,
cases
involving
violations
occurring
abroad,
and
cases
relying
on
international
human
rights
law.
