On Liberty
ISBN: 9781517290825 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Discussed and debated from time immemorial, the concept of personal liberty went without codification until the 1859 publication of On Liberty. John Stuart Mill's complete and resolute dedication to the cause of freedom inspired this treatise, an enduring work through which the concept remains well known and studied. The British economist, philosopher, and ethical theorist's argument does not focus on "the so-called Liberty of the Will...but Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual." Mill asks and answers...

Impunity and Human Rights in International Law and Practice
ISBN: 9780195081367 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. As dictatorships topple around the world and transitional regimes emerge from the political rubble, the new governments inherit a legacy of widespread repression against the civilian population. This repression ranges from torture, forced disappearances, and imprisonment to the killings of both real and perceived political opponents. Nonetheless, the official status of the perpetrators shields them from sanction, creating a culture of impunity in which the most inhumane acts can be carried out without fear of repercussions. The new governments wrestle with whether or not to investigate prior...

The Idea of Human Rights: Four Inquiries
ISBN: 9780195116366 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Inspired by a 1988 trip to El Salvador, Michael J. Perry's new book is a personal and scholarly exploration of the idea of human rights. Perry is one of our nation's leading authorities on the relation of morality, including religious morality, to politics and law. He seeks, in this book, to disentangle the complex idea of human rights by way of four probing and interrelated essays. * The initial essay, which is animated by Perry's skepticism about the capacity of any secular morality to offer a coherent account of the idea of human rights, suggests that the first part of the idea of...

The Moral Foundation of Rights
ISBN: 9780198247517 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. What does it mean for someone to have a moral right to something? What kinds of creatures can have rights, and which rights can they have? While rights are indispensable to our moral and political thinking, they are also mysterious and controversial; as long as these controversies remain unsolved, rights will remain vulnerable to skepticism. Here, Sumner constructs both a coherent concept of a moral right and a workable substantive theory of rights to provide the moral foundation necessary to dispel such doubts.

Promoting Human Rights Through Bills of Rights: Comparative Perspectives
ISBN: 9780198258223 / Angielski / Twarda / 584 str. In recent years the international community has continued to adopt a flow of both binding and non-binding human rights instruments. But despite the significant domestic impact of these developments, most of the literature on human rights has focused on international procedures and institutions, to the neglect of domestic legal arrangements.
In this timely volume Professor Alston and a team of distinguished contributors examine the consequences of international human rights treaty obligations at national level. The problems addressed include the transformation of international norms into...

ISBN: 9780198258940 / Angielski / Miękka / 680 str. Since its inception, the Human Rights Committee has arguably become the most important independent international human rights body in the world. Vested with wide-ranging power, the Committee has developed a large body of case-law to complement the activities of other United Nations organizations. This in-depth study examines the institutional characteristics of the Committee, traces the development of its practices and procedures, and discusses its jurisprudence under selected key articles of the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.

This timely work evaluates the international protection of the rights of migrant workers and their families in countries of employment focusing on their economic, social, cultural, political, and residence rights. The book begins with an overview of international labor...

Eu Human Rights Policies: A Study in Irony
ISBN: 9780199268962 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. The EU's human rights policies are plagued by double standards: it applies radically different approaches in its external and internal operations.

Non-State Actors and Human Rights
ISBN: 9780199272815 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Can transnational corporations ignore human rights as long as governments don't hold them accountable? If the UN is put in charge of a territory, is it bound by human rights law? Under traditional approaches to human rights, non-state actors cannot be parties to the relevant treaties and so they are only bound to the extent that obligations accepted by States can be applied to them by governments. This situation threatens to make a mockery of much of the international system of accountability for human rights violations. The contributors to this volume examine the different approaches that...

ISBN: 9780199277742 / Angielski / Miękka / 218 str. A concise, accessible Guide to the far reaching changes introduced by the Asylum & Immigration Act 2004.

Although the 'ouster' clause has been modified, the Act radically re-shapes the structure of immigration appeals as well as introducing important changes in practice and procedure. It is written by an experienced team of barristers from Doughty Street, a leading chambers at the forefront of human rights...

Labour Rights as Human Rights
ISBN: 9780199281053 / Angielski / Twarda / 262 str. Are efforts to protect workers' rights compatible with the forces of globalization? How can minimum standards designed to protect labor rights be implemented in a world in which national labor law is more and more at the mercy of international forces beyond its control? The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labor rights are to be protected in a globalized economy, exploring some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labor movement in the years ahead.
