Many people believe passionately in human rights. Others - Bentham,
Marx, cultural relativists and some feminists amongst them -
dismiss the concept of human rights as practically and conceptually
inadequate. This book reviews these classical critiques and shows
how their insights are reflected in the case law of the European
Court of Human Rights. At one level an original, accessible and
insightful legal commentary on the European Convention, this book
is also a groundbreaking work of theory which challenges human
rights orthodoxy. Its novel identification of four human rights
schools proposes that we alternatively conceive of these rights as
given (natural school), agreed upon (deliberative school), fought
for (protest school) and talked about (discourse school). Which of
these concepts we adopt is determined by particular ways in which
we believe, or do not believe, in human rights.
