This clear and compelling text confronts the dominant thinking on
human rights, taking issue with the notion adopted by all states
and even many academics that human rights obligations extend no
further than their own territorial borders. Mark Gibney critiques
cases from the U.S. Supreme Court, the International Court of
Justice, and the European Court of Human Rights, arguing for a much
broader reading of state responsibility on the basis that current
law misses most of the ways in which states fail to protect human
rights standards. Finally, Gibney takes up the issue of human
rights enforcement, unquestionably the weakest aspect of
international human rights law. He proposes several practical
models that could begin to provide victims the "effective remedy"
promised by the law itself. The book concludes that there is a
moral and legal imperative to return to the universal principles
human rights were founded on. And rather than witnessing the end of
human rights-as some have suggested-we should see our times as the
true beginning.
