Abstract

This title argues for a greater specification and a more comprehensive inventory of how international law influences relevant actors to improve human rights conditions. The book's aim is to improve the understanding of how norms operate in international society with a view to improving the capacity of global and domestic institutions to harness the processes through which human rights cultures are built.

Abstract

Les débats relatifs au traité établissant une Constitution pour l'Europe ont fait rejaillir la question de la protection des droits de l'homme dans les politiques de l'Union européenne. Ce contexte offre une opportunité idéale pour retracer l'évolution et analyser l'étendue de la protection des droits de l'homme dans les politiques de l'Union européenne. Le présent ouvrage examine systématiquement le degré de protection des droits de l'homme atteint par les politiques internes et externes de l'Union européenne. Il met en lumière le fragile équilibre existant entre la protection des droits de l'homme et les multiples impératifs d'ordre économique et politique qui caractérisent le processus d'intégration européenne. Il identifie également les défis futurs que font naître la mise en place de nouveaux instruments, comme l'Agence européenne des droits fondamentaux.

Abstract

Is a constitution the best device for ruling a country? Western political systems tend to be 'constitutional democracies', dividing the system into a domain of politics, where the people rule, and a domain of law, set aside for a trained elite. Antoni Abat i Ninet strives to resolve these apparently exclusive public and legal sovereignties, using their various avatars across the globe as case studies. He challenges the American constitutional experience that has dominated western constitutional thought as a quasi-religious doctrine. And he argues that human rights and democracy must strive to deactivate the 'invisible' but very real violence embedded in our seemingly sacrosanct constitutions.

Abstract

A just international order and a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law need to include perspectives that take account of the standpoints, interests, concerns and beliefs of non-Western people and traditions. The dominant scholarly and activist discourses about human rights have developed largely without reference to these other viewpoints. Claims about universality sit uneasily with ignorance of other traditions and parochial or ethnocentric tendencies. The object of the book is to make accessible the ideas of four jurists who present distinct 'Southern' perspectives on human rights.
