The Conceptualization of Equality and Non-discrimination as Legal Standards: From Formal to More Substantive Equality de Titia Loenen

The Conceptualization of Equality and Non-discrimination as Legal Standards: From Formal to More Substantive Equality: Nijhoff Law Specials, cartea 111

Autor Titia Loenen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 feb 2025
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the central concepts figuring in equality and non-discrimination standards across jurisdictions: formal and substantive equality, direct and indirect discrimination, reasonable accommodation, affirmative action and intersectional discrimination. It explains how different conceptualizations matter and may result in different outcomes in legislation, case law and policies. In doing so it draws on examples from a wide variety of sources, including the European, Inter-American and global human rights systems and the jurisprudence of the apex courts in Canada, India, South Africa and the US. This study also shows how the conceptualization of equality has been moving overall from formal to more substantive equality.
