Details

Tom Hadden presents a much-needed critique of the current state of human rights law and explains how its standards and procedures can be developed to meet major economic, social and environmental change.

The book highlights the inconsistencies between established human rights conventions and other international law regimes, such as humanitarian and armed conflict law, refugee law, and the UN Charter. The book assesses the impact of human rights law on key issues of increasing global inequality, climate change, internal and international conflicts and population movement with accessible visual explanations of their very different standards on self-determination, legitimate armed conflict and refugee movement.

Human Rights and Other International Law is a vital read for scholars and students of human rights and legal and political theory. Lawyers, policymakers and those interested in constitutional and administrative law will also benefit from this invaluable resource.

The author has been based at Queen''s University Belfast since 1969. With his colleague Kevin Boyle, he helped to set the agenda for the Northern Ireland peace process and has been an influential member of successive Northern Ireland Human Rights Commissions.
