Since the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, over 140 countries have incorporated human rights standards into their legal systems: the resulting jurisprudence from diverse cultural traditions brings new dimensions to concepts first articulated in the 1948 Declaration. Nihal Jayawickrama draws on all available sources to encapsulate the judicial interpretation of human rights law in one ambitious, comprehensive volume. Jayawickrama covers the case law of the superior courts of over eighty countries in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, and the jurisprudence of the UN Human Rights monitoring bodies, the European Court of Human Rights, and of the Inter-American system. He analyses the judicial application of human rights law to demonstrate empirically the universality of contemporary human rights norms. This definitive compendium will be essential for legal practitioners, government and non-governmental officials, as well as academics and students of both constitutional law and the international law of human rights.

La timide recomposition du paysage politique en cours dans un nombre croissant d’États africains est sans conteste le produit en même temps que le moteur de la revendication des droits de l’homme dans ces mêmes États. Adoptée en 1981, la Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples a, avant l’heure, mis l’emphase sur cette relation dialectique entre libération des peuples et libertés de l’individu. Ce n’est pas là la moindre originalité de cette convention régionale que le présent ouvrage se propose d’analyser minutieusement sur un plan juridique. Pour l’essentiel, l’ouvrage consiste en un examen approfondi du contenu normatif et institutionnel de la Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples. Cette étude apporte des réponses précises à toute une série de questions qui ne manquent pas d’interpeller le juriste. En consacrant par exemple les devoirs de l’individu, cette convention ne reprend-elle pas d’un côté ce qu’elle donne de l’autre à l’individu ? Les droits de l’individu ne risquent-ils pas d’être sacrifiés sur l’autel des droits du peuple ? À cet égard, un des principaux mérites de cette étude est qu’elle n’hésite pas à explorer certains pans entiers du droit international général ; il en va ainsi à propos de l’absence de clause de dérogation qui fait l’objet d’une analyse rigoureuse sous l’angle du droit des traités ou encore de la question des droits du peuple. Le fonctionnement de la Commission africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples, installée à Banjul (Gambie) en 1989, est également examiné dans le détail. L’étude s’achève par une évaluation générale de la Charte africaine et de son rôle potentiel dans la protection des droits de l’homme en Afrique. Première monographie exhaustive en langue française sur la Charte africaine, elle est un ouvrage incontournable pour tout praticien du droit ou des relations internationales intéressé par la problématique des droits de l’homme en Afrique.

"Bernard Williams is remembered as one of the most brilliant and original philosophers of the past fifty years. Widely respected as a moral philosopher, Williams began to write about politics in a sustained way in the early 1980s. There followed a stream of articles, lectures, and other major contributions to issues of public concern - all complemented by his books on ethics, which have important implications for political theory." "This new collection of essays, most of them previously unpublished, addresses many of the core subjects of political philosophy: justice, liberty, and equality, the nature and meaning of liberalism; toleration; power and the fear of power, democracy; and the nature of political philosophy itself. A central theme throughout is that political philosophers need to engage more directly with the realities of political life, not simply with the theories of other philosophers. Williams makes this argument in part through a searching examination of where political thinking should originate, to whom it might be addressed, and what it should deliver." "Williams had intended to weave these essays into a connected narrative on political philosophy with reflections on his own experience of postwar politics. Sadly he did not live to complete it, but this book brings together many of its components. Geoffrey Hawthorn has arranged the material to resemble as closely as possible William's original design and vision. He has provided both an introduction to William's political philosophy and a bibliography of his formal and informal writings on politics."--Jacket.

This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the human rights of refugees as set by the UN Refugee Convention. In an era where States are increasingly challenging the logic of simply assimilating refugees to their own citizens, questions are now being raised about whether refugees should be allowed to enjoy freedom of movement, to work, to access public welfare programs, or to be reunited with family members. Doubts have been expressed about the propriety of exempting refugees from visa and other immigration rules, and whether there is a duty to admit refugees at all. Hathaway links the standards of the UN Refugee Convention to key norms of international human rights law, and applies his analysis to the world's most difficult protection challenges. This is a critical resource for advocates, judges, and policymakers. It will also be a pioneering scholarly work for graduate students of international and human rights law.
