Beskrivning
This book aims to introduce concrete and innovative proposals for an holistic approach to supranational human rights justice through a hands-on legal exercise: the rewriting of decisions of supranational human rights monitoring bodies. The contributing scholars have thus redrafted crucial passages of landmark human rights judgments and decisions, 'as if human rights law were really one', borrowing or taking inspiration from developments and interpretations throughout the whole multi-layered human rights protection system. In addition to the rewriting exercise, the contributors have outlined the methodology and/or theoretical framework that guided their approaches and explain how human rights monitoring bodies may adopt an integrated approach to human rights law. Integrated Human Rights in Practice shows that even within the current fragmented landscape of international human rights law, it is possible to integrate human rights to a significantly higher degree than is generally the case. Redrafted opinions deal with major contemporary issues such as conscientious objection by health service providers, intersectional discrimination of minority women, the rights of persons with disabilities, the rights of indigenous peoples against powerful economic interests, and the human rights impact of austerity measures. This book's novel perspective and applied, concrete examples make it an invaluable resource for academics and students as well as judges, lawyers, and treaty body members.

Recensioner i media

'The emergence of a human rights jus commune, the product of dialogue across jurisdictions and of the integration of "soft law" in the reasoning of human rights courts and expert bodies, has triggered fears of unpredictability as well as hopes of greater coherence across human rights systems and further progress in the protection of human rights. Do the advantages compensate for the potential risks? To provide an answer, human rights scholars have been asked to re-imagine certain leading cases in the light of such an ''integrated approach'' to human rights. The results are enlightening, making a significant contribution to the debate.'--Olivier De Schutter, University of Louvain (UCL) and UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights'The creativity of this international team of excellent professors and scholars in human rights have produced an original and fascinating book. This exercise of ''redrafting'' some landmark cases decided by different supranational judicial and monitoring bodies reveals the unexpected resources of a holistic approach to fundamental rights, leaving space for external sources. This innovative book is a must read for all those who want to think and to mobilise human rights differently.'--Francoise Tulkens, Former Vice-President, European Court of Human Rights
