Beskrivning
The human right to resist is a contemporary legal concept with an ancient pedigree. Although it has received recognition in constitutions, customary international law and human rights treaties, and acknowledgment by leading publicists of international law, it remains obscure compared to other human rights. In this innovative and comprehensive book, Shannonbrooke Murphy addresses the perennial question of who has a 'right' to resist - and what, when, why, and how, from a legal perspective. Using a systematic and comparative approach to analyzing both the theoretical concept and the provisions in positive law, this study aims to establish that a 'right to resist' can be recognized and codified as an enforceable 'human right', proposing a common conceptual language and an analytical framework for evaluating the legal basis of claims. Murphy makes a strong and detailed case for a firmer place for the 'right to resist' in the human rights lexicon.

Recensioner i media

'… an excellent new addition to theoretical and doctrinal legal scholarship, undoubtedly breaking new ground. It more than lives up to its objective of bringing the right to resist 'in from the margins'. In these troubled and troubling times, it makes an invaluable contribution to the clarification of what individuals and groups may lawfully do to resist power. This book will certainly undergird various new inquiries on the right to resist.' Natalie Jones, European Journal of International Law
