Springer - The Universalism of Human Rights - Law Book

Explore the complex questions surrounding the universalism of human rights in this scholarly work from Springer. As part of the Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice series, this book provides a doctrinal investigation into whether human rights truly possess universal qualities, as well as their specific scope and limits. The text examines the concept of human rights as both a theoretical concept and a normative reality. By studying international and regional agreements alongside national constitutions, the author scrutinizes the normative character of these rights. This comparative approach allows for a deep look at how human rights function across different legal frameworks. Readers will gain insights into the tests applied to universalism at international, regional, and national constitutional levels. The book also identifies the limitations of normativity within these legal structures. It serves as a significant resource for those studying international law, comparative law, and the fundamental principles of justice in a global context.
