  5. Sperm Donation, Single Women and Filiation

    Sperm Donation, Single Women and Filiation

    Book | 1st edition 2015 | United Kingdom | Elena Ignovska
    Although recent family law debates have been predominantly paedo-centric, the founding of “bio-medically assisted families” still focuses on the individual parents’ rights to reproduce. By introducing donations, the donor’s genetic contribution becomes instrumental and the legal attribution of parenthood negotiated through expressed intentions. This book provokes the curious mind and clarifies concepts, studies the rationale behind the legal complexity in ten national European jurisdictions, and confronts the rights and responsibilities of the stakeholders, providing a balanced independent conclusion and suggestions towards international harmonisation.

    Standards for States under International Law

    Disasters have a devastating effect on the lives of people.

When in such cases the affected state refuses to accept international humanitarian assistance, the disaster survivors suffer the consequences.

    Globalization and Its Impact on the Future of Human Rights and International Criminal Justice

    Book | 1st edition 2015 | World | M. Cherif Bassiouni

This is testing a number of assumptions about the future of human rights and international criminal justice.

    On Freedom of Expression, Hate Speech and Religion in France & the Netherlands
    Book | 1st edition 2015 | United Kingdom | Esther Janssen

These sort of questions concern ‘the place of faith in public debate’ and continue to dominate public discussion that has been fuelled by a series of events, including the terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London and the terrorist attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

    Rights, Scarcity, and Justice

    An Analytical Inquiry into the Adjudication of the Welfare Aspects of Human Rights
    Book | 1st edition 2014 | United Kingdom | Gustavo Arosemena Solorzano
    Can human rights really protect people from want? If one is lacking medical care or housing, can one really go to a judge and ask for the provision of such goods and services? These questions have proved divisive for academics, politicians and judges working in the field of human rights. Some consider that there is no real difference between civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights. Others think that economic, social and cultural rights have structural features that make their judicial protection unwelcome. This book aims to move this debate forward.
