Description

Human Rights Law: Evolving Doctrine and Practice - 1st Edition - Jens David Ohlin

ISBN: 9798887869834

Ohlin's Human Rights Law: Evolving Doctrine and Practice offers a concise and accessible introduction to human rights law, designed for introductory courses at the law school level. Its carefully organized structure provides a logical progression of topics that can be taught from beginning to end within a standard three-credit course, giving instructors a ready-to-use framework without requiring extensive customization.

The casebook focuses on decisions and reports from courts, tribunals, committees, and commissions, demonstrating how human rights principles are interpreted, contested, and applied in legal practice. Key features include an introductory examination of foundational concepts, such as natural versus positive law, individual rights versus public interests, and state responsibility versus individual accountability. Additional chapters explore both the substance and enforcement of human rights norms, including regional and domestic enforcement mechanisms.

Particular attention is given to the growing harmonization of human rights litigation across jurisdictions, examining recurring principles such as proportionality, necessity, balancing, state interests, and the margin of appreciation. The casebook also provides extensive coverage of armed conflict and mass atrocities, exploring the relationship between human rights law, international humanitarian law, domestic law, and international criminal law.

Combining foundational legal concepts with practical case analysis and contemporary developments, this casebook provides students with a clear understanding of the evolving role of human rights law in domestic and international legal systems.
