The complex legal situations arising from the coexistence of
international law, state law, and social and religious norms in
different parts of the world often include scenarios of conflict
between them. These conflicting norms issued from different
categories of 'laws' result in difficulties in describing,
identifying and analysing human rights in plural environments. This
volume studies how normative conflicts unfold when trapped in the
aspirations of human rights and their local realizations. It
reflects on how such tensions can be eased, while observing how and
why they occur. The authors examine how obedience or resistance to
the official law is generated through the interaction of a
multiplicity of conflicting norms, interpretations and practices.
Emphasis is placed on the actors involved in raising or decreasing
the tension surrounding the conflict and the implications that the
conflict carries, whether resolved or not, in conditions of
asymmetric power movements. It is argued that legal responsiveness
to state law depends on how people with different identities deal
with it, narrate it and build expectations from it, bearing in mind
that normative pluralism may also operate as an instrument towards
the exclusion of certain communities from the public sphere. The
chapters look particularly to expose the dialogue between parallel
normative spheres in order for law to become more effective, while
investigating the types of socio-legal variables that affect the
functioning of law, leading to conflicts between rights, values and
entire cultural frames.
