Convergences and Divergences Between International Human Rights, Humanitarian and Criminal Law
Book | 1st edition 2018 | World | Paul De Hert, Stefaan Smis, Mathias HolvoetAlthough rooted in a similar ideal, human rights (IHRL), international criminal law (ICL) and international humanitarian law (IHL) are separate fields of law, best represented as circles, each of which overlaps with the other two.

Corruption: A Violation of Human Rights and a Crime Under International Law?
Book | 1st edition 2012 | World | Martine BoersmaCorruption currently receives an increasing amount of attention from scholars and practitioners in various disciplines, including law. While the phenomenon is as old as mankind, the last fifteen years saw the rise of many anti-corruption treaties, aimed at criminalisation, prevention and cooperation. At the same time, there seems to be relatively little work done on corruption in the field of human rights law or international criminal law. This book argues that these areas of law can certainly contribute to fighting corruption, by giving a human face to both victims and perpetrators.1€109.00 incl. VAT -

Critical Perspectives in Transitional Justice
Book | 1st edition 2012 | World | Nicola Palmer, Phil Clark, Danielle GranvilleIn the last twenty years, the field of transitional justice has gone from being a peripheral concern to an ubiquitous feature of societies recovering from mass conflict or repressive rule.

Cross-Border Welfare State
Immigration, social security & integrationBook | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Gijsbert VonkThe position of non-EU migrants in social security is problematic. Many European states reduce access to social benefits for categories of migrants whose presence is not desired. At the same time the scope of application of the national systems is becoming more confined to the national borders, as, for example, countries take measures to reduce the exportability of benefits. These two trends of exclusion and retrenchment particularly affect irregular immigrants and persons moving between Europe and developing countries who are not protected by any bilateral social security agreements.€68.00 incl.

Culture and Law
An Inescapable EncounterBook | 1st edition 2023 | United Kingdom | Jorge Sánchez CorderoOne of the greatest contributions of the twentieth century was undoubtedly the expansion of the concept of culture.

This important volume brings together meditations from some of the leading scholars in the field.€136.00 incl. VAT -

How the HRC, the CESCR and the CEDAWCee use human rights as a sword to protect and promote culture, and as a shield to protect against harmful cultureBook | 1st edition 2020 | United Kingdom | Vincent VleugelEver since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 there has been a debate on the issue of universality and cultural diversity.

This book examines how the UN treaty bodies, in particular the Human Rights Committee, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, fulfil this role.€115.00 incl.
