Does the death penalty breach human rights? Does freedom of speech include racist speech? Is there a right to health? This book uses the prism of comparative law to examine the fascinating ways in which these difficult questions are decided. On the one hand, the shared language of human rights suggests that there should be similar solutions to comparable problems. On the other hand, there are important differences. Constitutional texts are worded differently; courts have differing relationships with the legislature; and there are divergences in socio-economic development, politics, and history. Nevertheless, there is a growing transnational conversation between courts, with cases in one jurisdiction being cited in others. Part I sets out the cross-cutting themes which shape the ways judges respond to challenging human rights issues. It examines when it is legitimate to refer to foreign materials; how universality and cultural relativity are balanced in human rights law; the appropriate role of courts in adjudicating human rights in a democracy; and the principles judges use to interpret human rights texts. The book is unusual in transcending the distinction between socio-economic rights and civil and political rights. Part II applies these cross-cutting themes to comparing human rights law in the US, UK, South Africa, Canada, and India. Its focus is on seven particularly challenging issues: the death penalty, abortion, housing, health, speech, education and religion, with the aim of inspiring further comparative examination of other pressing human rights issues.--</subfield><subfield code="c">Source other than Library of Congress.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Human rights.</subfield><subfield code="9">4883</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Social rights.</subfield><subfield code="9">9874</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Civil rights.</subfield><subfield code="9">9061</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Human rights.</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="0">(OCoLC)fst00963285</subfield><subfield code="9">4883</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="2">udc</subfield><subfield code="c">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="0">0</subfield><subfield code="1">0</subfield><subfield code="2">udc</subfield><subfield code="4">0</subfield><subfield code="6">3427FRE</subfield><subfield code="7">0</subfield><subfield code="9">36979</subfield><subfield code="a">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="b">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="d">2025-03-12</subfield><subfield code="e">Gifted by Suprio Ghosh.</subfield><subfield code="l">0</subfield><subfield code="o">342.7FRE</subfield><subfield code="p">G-8404</subfield><subfield code="r">2025-03-12 00:00:00</subfield><subfield code="w">2025-03-12</subfield><subfield code="y">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="999" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="c">33500</subfield><subfield code="d">33500</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
