At a time when human rights are coming under increasing pressure,
in-depth knowledge and understanding of their foundations,
conceptual underpinnings and current practice remain crucial. The
second edition of Walter Kalin and Joerg Kunzli's authoritative
book provides a concise but comprehensive legal analysis of
international human rights protection at the global and regional
levels. It shows that human rights are real rights creating legal
entitlements for those who are protected by them and imposing legal
obligations on those bound by them. Based, in particular, on a
wide-ranging analysis of international case-law, the book focuses
on the sources and scope of application of human rights and a
discussion of their substantive guarantees. Further chapters
describe the different mechanisms to monitor the implementation of
human rights obligations, ranging from the regional human rights
courts in Africa, the Americas and Europe and the UN treaty bodies
to the international criminal tribunals, the International Court of
Justice and the UN Security Council. The book is based on an
understanding of human rights as legal concepts that address basic
human needs and vulnerabilities, and highlights the indivisibility
of civil and political rights on the one and economic, social and
cultural rights on the other hand. It also highlights the
convergence of international human rights and international
humanitarian law and the interlinkages with international criminal
law as well as general international law, in particular the law of
state responsibility.
