Delivery of Human Rights

The Delivery of Human Rights reflects on two overlapping issues in international human rights law: how can existing norms be better implemented and effected, and how can other branches of international law or other international actors be used so as to provide an improved delivery of those norms. Rather than simply looking at the content of the rights, this book will also explore how the framers' intention that individuals benefit from the norms can be achieved.The contributors to this volume are notable experts in the area of human rights law and include Paul Hunt, Malcolm Evans, Theo van Boven, Andrew Clapham, and Hurst Hannum. The book addresses such as the Role of Special Rapporteurs, how can the absolute prohibition of torture be properly implemented, Responsibility to Protect, non-state actors, including businesses, and human rights.
