Peremptory International Legal Norms and the Democratic Rule of Law
explores the risks to the democratic State inherent in the attempt
to divorce the notion of democratic rule of law from respect for
and adherence to peremptory international legal norms which allow
for no derogation therefrom such as the prohibition of torture and
inhumane treatment or punishment by the State. The chapters
address, with specific current case examples, in what ways the
democratic rule of law within certain democratic States risks being
undermined through those States acquiescing to the erosion of
peremptory international law norms in the domestic and
international context. The book therefore explores the question of
in what ways such democratic State acquiescence in effect may
ultimately disrupt the investment within the State in the shared
culture of core human rights values that underlies democratic rule
of law itself and highlights the fragility of that shared culture.
The contributors argue for a renewed commitment in principle and
practice to the democratic rule of law and to its human rights
international normative underpinnings. Peremptory International
Legal Norms and the Democratic Rule of Law will be of great
interest to scholars of international law, human rights and
democracy. The chapters originally published as a special issue of
The International Journal of Human Rights.
