Traditionally,the theory of human rights limited its application to
the public domain, namely the relationships between individuals and
public authorities. The great expansion of human rights legislation
and concepts in modern national and international law has given
rise to a major issue relating to their potential impact on private
relationships. This book examines this important topic, which may
revolutionize private law. It presents new approaches which strive
to broaden the application of human rights to the private field on
the ground that power can be abused and human rights can be
infringed even when all parties are private. The subject is
examined from theoretical and comparative perspectives by leading
scholars representing a diversity of legal systems - the United
States, Canada, England, South Africa, Germany and Israel. Among
the contributors are Professor Todd Rakoff (Harvard), Professor
Roger Brownsword (Sheffield), Professor Hugh Beale (Warwick) and
Professor Ewan McKendrick (Oxford), Professor Ernest Weinrib and
Professor Lorraine Weinrib (Toronto), Professor Christian Starck
(Gottingen), Professor Andreas Heldrich (Munich) and others.
