Beschreibung:
The main purpose of this book is to examine the principle of individual duty from a number of different perspectives. National legal systems have recognised and enforced for a long time in their constitutions and ordinary legislation various duties which citizens owe to their own families, the communities in which they reside and their country. Such duties include the duty to pay taxes, the duty to provide maintenance and a basic education for one's children, the duty to undertake military service for a specified period and the duty to obey the constitution and other laws.
Contents: Introduction; The historical development of the principle of duty and its contemporary philosophical sources; The taxonomy of duties; Religion, ethics and the principle of individual duty; Individual criminal responsibility under international law; The position of individual duty within the international and regional human rights system; Particular individual duties explicitly recognised under international and regional human rights law and by national law; Socialism and individual duty; Impoverished 'Rights Talk', the sociology of duty and the re-emergence of communitarianism; The enforcement of individual duties; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index; Tables.
