Strategic Visions for Human Rights takes a multi-disciplinary
approach to future directions for human rights. It looks beyond
what international human rights treaties have so far established
and considers the context in which rights in the twenty-first
century might develop to meet needs. The book examines how
international law might be utilized to protect groups rather than
just individual members of the group and it also calls into
question the liberal positivist approach to international law that
provides the framework for human rights norms. The book is written
and published in honour of Professor Kevin Boyle. It celebrates his
long career in human rights law both as an academic and a
practising barrister. Professor Boyle has taken numerous cases on
human rights issues to the European Court of Human Rights in
Strasbourg and has long been involved in human rights aspects of
the peace process in Northern Ireland. He has published widely on
human rights issues, focusing on freedom of expression and religion
and non-discrimination. The contributors to this volume are
well-known academics in the field of human rights and include
Francesca Klug, Conor Gearty, David Beetham and Asbjorn Eide.
Amongst some of the issues addressed in the book are the future of
the European Court of Human Rights, the role of academics play in
engendering transition to post-conflict democratic states, and
human rights and religious pluralism.
