  1. Culture in the State Reporting Procedure of the UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies

    Culture in the State Reporting Procedure of the UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies

    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 culture
    Book | 1st edition 2020 | United Kingdom | Vincent Vleugel
    Ever 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. The UN human rights treaty bodies have an important role to play in ensuring a proper balance between safeguarding the universality of the rights, while at the same time leaving room for cultural particularities. 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.

    A Study on UNHCR and IOM in Sudan
    Book | 1st edition 2020 | United Kingdom | Veronika Flegar
    The term 'vulnerability' is often used in law and policy to refer to disadvantaged, marginalized or excluded human beings.

It concentrates on the potential that such a vulnerability focus can have to mitigate stigmatization and stereotyping and to facilitate socio-economic participation.

  9. Human Rights with a Human Touch

    Human Rights with a Human Touch

    Liber amicorum Paul Lemmens
    Book | 1st edition 2019 | United Kingdom | Koen Lemmens, Stephan Parmentier, Louise Reyntjens
    Liber amicorum Paul Lemmens: With this tribute book we have tried to avoid the classic pitfalls. The work contains contributions that are focused on human rights, in all their diversity, but with a strong emphasis on the European Convention on Human Rights. The contributions were also subjected to a stringent peer review, so that this book could just as well be a classically edited academic work. It therefore meets, we hope, the highest academic standards, as Paul Lemmens has always embodied them. The very international crowd of authors, whose reputation is known, already guarantees quality.
