This book explores recent developments pointing towards a
‘domestic institutionalisation of human rights’, composed of
converging international trends prescribing the setting up of
domestic institutions, and the need for a national human rights
systems approach. Building on new compliance theories, innovative
arrangements have resolutely appeared around the turn of the
millennium and some are now legally enshrined in human rights
treaties. In their introduction, the editors capture these
developments, their main elements and key points of debate. They
outline a research agenda aimed at structuring and generating
further attention from both academics and practitioners. As a
stepping stone, the book singles out the purposeful attempt by the
United Nations and others to frame these trends around the concept
of ‘National Human Rights System’. The chapters assess various
models and cases put forward for such systems. Each chapter
highlights the specific forms of institutions being promoted and
their intended domestic interactions, and discusses how these
institutions are leveraged and strengthened by international
bodies. Authors critically review their implications for the future
of human rights, paving the way for additional research. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the Nordic Journal of Human Rights.
