This book explores both the possibilities and limits of arguments
from human nature in the context of human rights. Can the concept
of human nature provide a basis for understanding fundamental
rights? Is it plausible to justify the claim to universal validity
of human rights by reference to human nature? Or does the idea of
human rights in its modern, post-1945 manifestation go, in essence,
beyond human nature? The essays in this volume introduce
naturalistic positions and their concomitant critiques. They
address the role that human nature both actually does and
potentially may play in forming a foundation for and acting as an
exemplification of fundamental rights. Beyond that, they give
attention to the challenges caused by Life Sciences. Human nature
itself is subject to transformation and transgression in an
unprecedented manner. The essays reflect on issues such as
reproduction, species manipulation, corporeal autonomy and
enhancement. Contributors are jurists, philosophers and political
scientists from Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, Poland and Japan.

This book focuses on protection needs and new aspects of
personality and data protection rights on the Internet, presenting
a comprehensive review that discusses and compares international,
European and national (Brazilian, German, Pakistani) perspectives.
 It deals with overarching questions, such as whether
universal minimum standards of privacy protection can be developed
or how regional data protection rights can be safeguarded and
enforced extraterritorially, given the conditions of the Internet.
Furthermore, the book addresses new challenges and novel rights, e.
g., data retention and protection against mass surveillance, the
right to be forgotten, rights to anonymity, legal issues of the
digital estate or rights relating to algorithmic decision-making.
Furthermore, the book explores how well-known paradigms, such as
liability for personality rights violations or damages, have to be
adapted in view of the significant role of intermediaries.
