Although human rights were initially conceived as rights of the
individual in relation to the state, there is growing recognition
that human rights must also be respected in the international
arena. This five-volume series set brings together the most
important and influential scholarship on issues around human rights
in the area of international law. The volumes include a wide range
of essays selected from an international search of print and
electronic content and feature a substantial introduction by the
volume editor which provides an overview of the topic of each
volume. The series includes foundational articles on the
development of international human rights law and covers issues on
the current challenges facing international human rights lawyers
and scholars, the UN system of rights, regional human rights
systems and the fundamental principles of equality and
non-discrimination under international law. The five volumes in
this series are edited by leading scholars in the field and taken
together provide an invaluable research tool for scholars and
students interested in the growing field of international human
rights. The five volumes in this series are: Volume I: The
Development of International Human Rights Law Volume II: Equality
and Non-Discrimination under International Law Volume III:
Challenges in International Human Rights Law Volume IV: The United
Nations System for Protecting Human Rights Volume V: Regional Human
Rights Systems
The principles of equality and non-discrimination lie at the heart
of international human rights law. They are the only human rights
explicitly included in the UN Charter and they appear at the
beginning of virtually every major human rights instrument. This
volume contains selected works by leading authors on the subject of
equality and non-discrimination under international law. The
selections are grouped into four sections. The first presents
essays that explore theoretical concepts of equality and
non-discrimination. The next addresses the development of
international legal standards on the subject. The third presents
articles analyzing how those standards have been interpreted and
applied by UN and regional human rights bodies, and the last
contains works on what measures besides legal action States are to
take to in order to achieve equality and non-discrimination.
