The Legal Nature of International Human Rights de Michael K. Addo

The Legal Nature of International Human Rights: International Studies in Human Rights, cartea 104

Autor Michael K. Addo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 mai 2010
The role and influence human rights in society has been enhanced by its association with international law and yet despite this legal springboard, the scope of its legal nature remains uncertain. By analysing the work of international human rights courts and treaty bodies alongside a brief historical review, this book assesses the distinctive legal dimension of human rights. It concludes that the legalisation of human rights is an unplanned and evolving social construct that continues under the managerial oversight of international human rights courts and treaty bodies which employ the primary tool of treaty interpretation. These characteristics of the legal environment of human rights in international law provide a good appreciation of the law itself and its limits.
