Beschreibung:
This book attempts to establish how courts of general jurisdiction differ from specialized human rights courts in their approach to the implementation and development of international human rights. Why do courts of general jurisdiction face particular problems in relation to the application of international human rights law and why, in other cases, are they better placed than specialized human rights courts to act as guardians of international human rights?
Part I: General Introduction.- Part II: International and Regional Courts of General Jurisdiction as Human Rights Courts.- Part III: Obligations Imposed by Human Rights Treaties With Regard to the Implementation of Human Rights by Domestic Courts.- Part IV: The Role of Courts in the Domestic Implementation of International Human Rights.
