Routledge Litigating Transnational Human Rights Obligations

Explore the shifting landscape of international law with Litigating Transnational Human Rights Obligations: Alternative Judgments. This Routledge Research in Human Rights Law text addresses the evolving challenges to the traditional territorial paradigm. Historically, human rights duties were viewed through a vertical lens, where State obligations were confined to their own citizens or residents within specific borders. As global awareness grows regarding how States and other actors impact human rights far from their home territories, both positively and negatively, the legal framework must adapt. This book examines the emergence of new legal principles designed to address these transnational complexities. It provides a necessary look at how obligations function beyond traditional borders, offering a deep dive into the legal responses to a world where human rights impacts are no longer limited by geography.
