The protection of vulnerable groups varies under international
human rights law. Depending on the group at stake, protection may
be more or less advanced. In some cases, the international
community has deemed it necessary to adopt conventions providing
for the rights of certain vulnerable groups and establishing
mechanisms to verify State compliance. Other groups have not been
the focus of States' standard-setting endeavours, but their
protection still falls within the scope of human rights treaties of
general application and the mandate of their respective monitoring
bodies. This book takes an innovative approach to the investigation
of the international legal protection of vulnerable groups. Rather
than examining the situation of a number of vulnerable groups and
applicable international or regional conventions, this book reviews
the overall scope of the protection of vulnerable groups under
International Human Rights Law. This book conceptualizes the
protection of vulnerable groups as an underlying and essential
component of International Human Rights Law through a systematic
and comprehensive analysis of international human rights law
instruments and relevant practice of international and regional
human rights monitoring bodies. The book illuminates how human
rights monitoring bodies foster protection of vulnerable groups and
their members at the domestic level, and underscores and assesses
vulnerability paradigms these bodies have elaborated. The book also
puts forward a legal definition of vulnerable groups. This book
will be of great interest to students and scholars of international
human rights law.
