内容説明

This is a collection of 27 legal essays contributed by lawyers, some of whom are academics, on the subject of human rights law. The essays aim to provide an understanding of the relationship between the law and human rights. This interdisciplinary field of study can be viewed from philosophical, anthropological, political, historical and even rhetorical perspectives. These essays make critical commentaries on the limitations of the subject, as well as on its potential, which is considerable.
