Irving E: Multi-Actor Human Rights
Protection at the International Crimina

Multi-Actor Human Rights Protection at the International Criminal Court

Human Rights Law in Perspective

Proportionality Under the UK Human Rights Act

Do animals have legal rights? This pioneering book tells readers everything they need to know about animal rights law. Using straightforward examples from over 30 legal systems from both the civil and common law traditions, and based on a popular course taught by the authors at the University of Cambridge, the book takes the reader from the earliest anti-cruelty laws to modern animal welfare laws, to recent attempts to grant basic rights and personhood to animals. To help readers understand this legal evolution, it explains the ethics, legal theory, and social issues behind animal rights and connected topics such as property, subjecthood, dignity, and human rights. The new edition, fully updated throughout, contains a new chapter on rights of nature. The book's companion website (bloomsbury.pub/animal-rights-law) provides access to briefs on the latest developments in this fast-changing area, and gives readers the tools to investigate their own legal systems with a list of key references to the latest cases, legislation, and jurisdiction-specific bibliographic references. Rich in exercises and study aids, this easy-to-use introduction is a prime resource for law students and for anyone else who wants to understand how animals can be protected by the law.

Animal Rights Law

This open access book examines the role played by international, regional and national legal frameworks in holding corporations operating in the natural resource sector accountable for human rights violations in the Global South. Influential scholars from across the world address pressing issues concerning the integration of business and human rights standards for better governance of natural resources. They focus particularly on extractive and multinational companies in the Global South and their role in the transition to net zero societies. The book also examines legal mechanisms for corporate accountability under international, human rights and transnational law, using case studies from selected countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. The book reviews proposals for an enforceable legal framework to hold corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental damage. It considers initiatives such as the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN's Draft Business and Human Rights Treaty, and the European Union Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The book is essential reading for researchers working in the fields of business and human rights law, natural resources law, environmental law and international law, as well as corporate and human rights practitioners litigating in the energy and natural resources sectors. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Accountability for a Just Transition

Business, Human Rights and Natural Resource Governance

Law for Professionals

Die neue EU-Richtlinie über die Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD) ist bereits in Kraft und wird nach den jüngsten Änderungen auf EU-Ebene schrittweise ab 2028 für große Unternehmen und Konzerne EU-weit anwendbar. &nbsp;Sie verpflichtet Unternehmen, Menschenrechts- und Umweltstandards entlang ihrer gesamten Wertschöpfungskette zu prüfen, Risiken zu mindern und Abhilfe zu schaffen – mit Geldbußen bis zu 3 % des weltweiten Nettojahresumsatzes.
Für die Compliance-Welt markiert die CSDDD einen Paradigmenwechsel: Während sich Compliance bislang vor allem auf die eigene Organisation und den Selbstschutz konzentrierte, verlangt die Richtlinie nun Verantwortung über die Unternehmensgrenzen hinaus. Unternehmen müssen nicht nur ihr eigenes Verhalten steuern, sondern auch prüfen, wie ihre Geschäftspartner, Lieferanten und Auftragnehmer mit Menschenrechten, Umwelt und Ethik umgehen und welche bislang wenig beachteten Risiken in der Lieferkette bestehen. Auch Unternehmen, die nicht direkt CSDDD-pflichtig sind, werden diese Anforderungen in der Praxis zu spüren bekommen: CSDDD-pflichtige Kunden werden mit Nachdruck versuchen, Verantwortung und Pflichten weiterzugeben sowie Audit- und Kontrollrechte, Informationspflichten, Geschäftspartnerprüfungen und Compliance-Standards bei ihren Lieferanten einzufordern.
Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Unternehmen die CSDDD rechtlich fundiert, praxisorientiert und zugleich wirtschaftlich sinnvoll umsetzen können. Es verbindet juristische Anforderungen mit praktischen Leitlinien aus Compliance-, Risiko- und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement und macht deutlich: Lieferkettensorgfalt ist keine Bürde, sondern eine strategische Chance.
Ausgehend von der historischen Entwicklung (Rana Plaza, Deepwater Horizon, UN-Leitprinzipien) werden die zentralen Pflichten der Richtlinie (Risikomanagement, Prävention, Abhilfe, Berichterstattung) erläutert und in konkrete Handlungsschritte übersetzt – inklusive Governance-Strukturen, Vertragspraxis, Due-Diligence-Tools, Schulung und Stakeholder-Kommunikation. Dabei werden immer wieder Unternehmensbeispiele und praktische Referenzen herangezogen, um zu zeigen, wie Unternehmen vergleichbare Herausforderungen bereits adressiert haben oder welche Lehren sich aus prominenten Fällen ziehen lassen. Ein eigenes Kapitel zeigt, wie Unternehmen durch glaubwürdige Umsetzung Vertrauen, Reputation und Wettbewerbsvorteile aufbauen. Das Buch richtet sich an Unternehmen jeder Größe, die CSDDD-Pflichten direkt oder indirekt betreffen, und liefert pragmatische Roadmaps für Compliance-Verantwortliche, Juristen, Nachhaltigkeitsmanager, Einkäufer, Risikomanager und Entscheidungsträger.

Wie Unternehmen die EU-CSDDD effizient, glaubwürdig und gewinnbringend umsetzen

Lieferkette und Verantwortung

This collection explores the relationship between race, racism, and human rights law. It seeks to illuminate, in particular, how the European Court of Human Rights articulates the category of race, how human rights are experienced (differently) by racial minorities, and whether the European Convention on Human Rights has the tools to recognise and address racial harms. By centring race, it considers how Convention rights would look through the lens of race and ultimately interrogates if human rights law is part of the solution or part of the problem. In pursuing these inquiries, the collection brings together two fields of scholarship that have largely developed independently of each other, namely law and race, and European human rights law. Drawing upon rich expertise from theorists and human rights scholars, it is the first of its kind to systematically analyse race and racism in relation to a wide range of themes in European human rights law, including state violence, terrorism, privacy, protest, migration, hate speech, religion, domestic abuse, reproductive freedom, medicine, education, and climate change.

Race, Racism, and the European Convention on Human Rights

Supporting the Legal Capacity of All Persons with Disabilities

Implementing the Right to Decide Under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

European Perspectives on the Procedural Review of Parliamentary Lawmaking

Volume 22, 2024

New Zealand Yearbook of International Law

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

Constitutional Rights in Private Law

Founded in 2001, the GCYILJ provides an authoritative and unique annual survey of developments in global law, governance and jurisprudence. The 2025 Volume marks the Yearbook's twenty-fifth anniversary and reflects on the endurance of constitutional principles amid global disorder and the pressures reshaping international law, justice, politics, and ethics. Contributions address current systemic crises: geopolitical conflicts, the humanitarian emergency in Gaza, liberal democracies, famine and impunity, multipolarity in international law, international governance, planetary ethics, public-interest litigation before the ICJ, and the ICC's contested role between Ukraine and Palestine. Alongside these thematic interventions, the volume continues the Yearbook's hallmark surveys of around twenty international, regional, and quasi-judicial bodies. Its distinctive global outlook and interdisciplinary depth ensure that the Yearbook remains an essential guide to international and global law in a fractured global order.

The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence 2025

Routledge Research in Human Rights Law

Business and Human Rights in Africa raises interesting questions about the legitimacy and long-term viability of the business and human rights agenda in Africa, and in developing countries more generally. It explores the key issues for business and human rights in Africa and asks how and to what extent are the UN Guiding Principles changing the law and policy in Africa or the behavior of businesses operating in the continent? The book examines both the international and regional legal and policy initiatives on business and human rights in Africa and how these initiatives are being implemented in selected countries.
