Public emergencies such as civil wars, natural disasters, and
economic crises test the theoretical and practical commitments of
international human rights law. During national crises,
international law permits states to suspend many human rights
protections in order to safeguard national security. States
frequently overstep the limits of this authority, violating even
peremptory human rights such as the prohibitions against torture
and prolonged arbitrary detention. In this volume, leading scholars
from law, philosophy and political science grapple with challenging
questions concerning the character, scope, and salience of
international human rights, and they explain how the law seeks to
protect human rights during emergencies. The contributors also
evaluate the law's successes and failures, and offer new proposals
for strengthening respect for human rights.
