The book sets out to interrogate and challenge many of the
distinctions drawn in the human rights discourse; but it also
highlights and critiques the different and incomplete ways in which
legal philosophers and international lawyers see human rights.
These issues are dealt with by some of the leading - and most
readable - authors in the field.' - Christof Heyns, University of
Pretoria, South Africa and UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial,
summary or arbitrary executions'This volume will make a lasting
contribution to how we address the dilemmas that human rights
theory and practice encounter - for instance, between democracy and
human rights, negative and positive rights, or individual and group
rights. Philosophers have become indispensable to lawyers'
arguments about why human rights matter, and how they must be
interpreted: this book superbly illustrates why.' - Olivier De
Schutter, University of Louvain, Belgium and United Nations Special
Rapporteur on the right to food Reflecting on the various
dichotomies through which human rights have traditionally been
understood, this book takes account of recent developments in both
theories of rights and in international human rights law to present
new ways of thinking about some long-standing problems. Leading
legal and political philosophers, social theorists and scholars of
international law discuss traditional dilemmas and taxonomies in
human rights theory, engaging with contemporary scholarship and
current practice. The book examines various tensions, such as those
between legal and moral rights, positive and negative rights,
universal and particular rights, and group and individual rights.
Encouraging new thinking about conventional understandings of human
rights, this book will strongly appeal to international lawyers,
legal and political philosophers, as well as graduate students and
upper-level undergraduate students in law and philosophy.

What is the best way to promote human rights in grossly repressive
states when neither sanctions nor trade and investment have much
effect? This book examines the concept of Principled Engagement as
an often overlooked alternative strategy for alleviating human
rights violations and improving the framework of human rights
protection. Beginning with an explanation of the concept and a
comparison with the alternatives of Ostracism and Business as
Usual, the book argues that Principled Engagement deserves greater
attention and explains how it works and what factors contribute to
its success or failure. Case studies provide a rare scholarly
inquiry into the effectiveness of the basic underlying ideas and
analyse and assess specific cases, including from China, Burma,
Zimbabwe and Liberia. Written by leading academics and
practitioners, the book takes a general, comparative approach to
human rights policy that teases out broad lessons about what works.
Ultimately, this is a study that challenges scholars and
practitioners alike to take a fresh look at how human rights are
promoted internationally.

This collection of essays from leading academics examines the
connection between the World Trade Organization (WTO) and human
rights issues, a topic which has provoked significant debate,
particularly in the decade since the collapsed WTO talks in Seattle
in 1999. The editors argue that a true appreciation of the salient
issues requires consideration of disciplines beyond the law, such
as economics, political science and philosophy. This book builds on
previous trade/human rights projects by adding that
interdisciplinary dimension. Bringing together trade scholars and
human rights scholars from legal and interdisciplinary
perspectives, The World Trade Organization and Human Rights will be
an invaluable research tool for international scholars in human
rights and trade, NGOs in the development sector and human rights,
trade organizations and trade practitioners.
