Nina Reiners – författare

The triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution poses an existential challenge to human societies - and to human rights scholarship. This timely and ambitious volume asks whether human rights offer a meaningful response, and if so, how that potential can be realised. Bringing together scholars from across International Relations, Law, Political Science, Geography, and Sociology, the book offers a multidisciplinary assessment organised around three pillars: governance, litigation, and civic action. Case studies span the Global North and South, from global governance institutions to indigenous communities in the DRC, from climate migrants to Norwegian diplomats. The volume's conclusion is sober: the pace of change lags dangerously behind the urgency of the crises we face. Human rights do not offer a ready-made solution, but a vital common language for accountability and transformation. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions is the first comprehensive analysis of the role and impact of informal collaborations in the UN human rights treaty bodies. Issues as central to international human rights as the right to water, abortion, torture, and hate speech are often only clarified through the instrument of treaty interpretations. This book dives beneath the surface of the formal access, procedures, and actors of the UN treaty body system to reveal how the experts and external collaborators play a key role in the development of human rights. Nina Reiners introduces the concept of 'Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions' within a novel theoretical framework and draws on a number of detailed case studies and original data. This study makes a significant contribution to the scholarship on human rights, transnational actors, and international organizations, and contributes to broader debates in international relations and international law.
