Judicial Convergence and Fragmentation in International Human Rights Law

The Regional Systems and the United Nations Human Rights Committee

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the judicial behaviour of the regional human rights courts (African, European and Inter-American) and the UN Human Rights Committee. It assesses whether their interpretation and adjudication of human rights is convergent or rather triggers judicial fragmentation, and explains these dynamics through legal and non-legal factors.
