La troisième édition du présent ouvrage fait le point sur l’importance croissante de la protection internationale et européenne des droits de l’homme et son influence sur nos droits et nos lois nationales, dans les différents domaines de la vie sociale. Après avoir rappelé la genèse et les fondements du droit international des droits de l’homme, l’auteur développe de manière didactique, approfondie et critique le système de protection de l’ONU, le système du Conseil de l’Europe et les autres systèmes régionaux de protection. Il a considérablement marqué de son empreinte le système de l'UE et celle-ci envisage d'adhérer à la Convention des droits de l'homme. Les mécanismes de protection ainsi que la jurisprudence des organes de contrôle sont exposés de façon synthétique. L'ouvrage offre ainsi aux juristes praticiens ou académiciens, soucieux de s'initier aux mécanismes internationaux et supranationaux de protection des droits de l'homme, une vue d'ensemble nourrie d'exemples concrets.

In an era that seeks to challenge the notion of the universality of human rights, this thought-provoking book explores their fundamental nature and considers the work and influence of German legal scholar and constitutional lawyer Robert Alexy, on contemporary jurisprudence and European Union law. What is the justification of balancing versus trading off fundamental rights against other rights and collective goods? Are there utilitarian considerations that can limit the normative force of human rights? Utilising both ''ideal'' and ''critical'' perspectives, this innovative book focuses on those inevitable questions which lie at the heart of any contemporary human rights discourse, as the premise of the dual nature of law is developed. A corresponding 'normative' perspective seeks to investigate the broader legal domains of the topic. This analytical book will be a key resource for students and scholars working in the fields of jurisprudence and legal theory, history and philosophy of law and comparative and EU law alike.

While the Asia Pacific region is one of the world’s largest by population size, it has long been known for having the least developed regional and national institutional mechanisms for protecting human rights, particularly compared to the well-developed systems in Europe, the Americas, and increasingly in Africa. Asia has the least uptake of human rights treaties of any region in the world, and serious human rights violations are documented as occurring in numerous countries in the region. Asia has also presented conceptual challenges to the universality of international human rights, for instance through arguments about 'Asian values' (the collective over the individual, the economic over the political, compromise over adjudication) being inconsistent with western notions of rights. At the same time, innovative human rights practices and protections have been developed in some jurisdictions, and increasingly at the transnational level.There is increasing scholarly and practitioner interest in human rights in the Asia and Pacific regions, driven in part by recent efforts by the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) to enhance human rights protections in those sub-regions. This edited collection makes a timely and distinctive contribution to the literature by bringing together the leading scholars in the field who have written across the gamut of thematic human rights issues in Asia and the Pacific. A particular strength of the collection is its inclusion of significant Asian and Pacific authors, who are sometimes under-represented in the mainstream legal debates. The work will be of interest to a scholarly and student audience in law (international, comparative Asian, public, constitutional, and human rights), as well as to readers in international relations, political science, Asian studies, and human rights
