International human rights law has emerged as an academic subject
in its own right, separate from, but still related to international
law. This book explains the distinctive nature of this discipline
by examining the influence of the idea of human rights on general
international law. Rather than make use of a particular moral
philosophy or political theory, it explains human rights by
examining the way the term is deployed in legal practice, on the
understanding that words are given meaning through their use.
Relying on complexity theory to make sense of the legal practice of
the United Nations, the core human rights treaties, and customary
international law, the work demonstrates the emergence of the moral
concept of human rights as a fact of the social world. It reveals
the dynamic nature of this concept, and the influence of the idea
on the legal practice, a fact that explains the fragmentation of
international law and special nature of international human rights
law.
