Along with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights serves as the main watchdog
for the promotion and protection of fundamental rights in the
Americas. Drawing on the case law of the Court, this volume
analyses crucial developments over the years on both procedural and
substantive issues before the Inter-American Court. The book
discusses access to legal aid, third party interventions, positive
obligations and provisional measures, the evaluation of evidence
and the use of external referencing by the Court, the protection of
vulnerable groups, including indigenous peoples, migrants, women
and children. It also explores other contemporary issues such as
coerced statements, medical negligence, the use of force,
amnesties, forced disappearances, the right to water, judicial
protection in times of emergency, the relation of the
Inter-American Court with national courts and with other
international jurisdictions like the European Court of Human Rights
and the International Criminal Court, and with national courts,
reparations and revisions of cases by the Inter-American Court, and
present-day challenges to the Inter-American system of human
rights. Due to its multifaceted and comprehensive character, this
scholarly volume is an essential reference work for both legal
scholars and practitioners working with regional human rights
systems in general and with the Inter-American human rights system
in particular.
This book brings together leading authorities from the fields of
international human rights law, criminology, legal medicine, and
political science with international human rights judges and UN
experts to analyze the current situation of detainees in Europe,
the Americas and Africa. This comprehensive volume offers a
platform for reflecting on the complexity of the prison problem
from a multidisciplinary perspective. The authors address
detention-related issues with the aim of generating new ideas that
contribute to both academic discussion and critical analysis.
Academic dialogue across the globe provides insights into various
national and international carceral systems and how they deal with
human rights behind bars. At the same time, the critical comparison
helps to identify basic needs and practices that can work in
multiple settings. The contributors are respected experts and
leading scholars in their fields, and each has pursued prison and
human rights research over the last decades. However, this is the
first time that they have come together in a multidisciplinary
academic project. This book aims to stimulate diverse actors to
imagine alternative ways of engaging with persons deprived of their
liberty, in academia and in practice.
