Opis

Since the end of the Cold War a plentitude of books and articles have been published on the subject of democracy and international law. During this same period numerous international treaties, declarations, resolutions and policy papers have been adopted. International Democracy Documents brings together the most important universal documents as well as those from Africa, the Americas, the Arab Region, Asia and Europe. The Editors provide a comprehensive General Introduction to the collection, and contextually introduce each chapter. The volume fills a gap in the literature and contributes to the advancement of the study of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. "A n'en pas douter, ce copieux inventaire constituera un outil fort utile, et en tout cas un excellent point de depart, pour celui ou celle qui s'interesse a la notion de democratie en droit international. Puisse cet ouvrage contribuer, comme c'est le voeu de ses auteurs (p. 35), a faciliter la recherche, le developpement et le renforcement des standards et valeurs democratiques au plan international..." : Laurent Weyers, Revue Belge de droit international, No. 2014/2 "It is no exaggeration to recommend that every library in the "Third World's" law schools should have this volume on their shelves." : Pranoto Iskandar, in: Indonesian Journal of International & Comparative Law (IJICL) Volume III Issue 4 (October 2016), p. 799-806
