About this book

In recent years the international community has continued to adopt a flow of both binding and non-binding human rights instruments. But despite the significant domestic impact of these developments, most of the literature on human rights has focused on international procedures and institutions, to the neglect of domestic legal arrangements.

In this timely volume Professor Alston and a team of distinguished contributors examine the consequences of international human rights treaty obligations at national level. The problems addressed include the transformation of international norms into national law; how to prepare appropriate domestic arrangements for giving effect to international norms (with particular emphasis on the role of the bill of rights); an assessment of the impact of international obligations on domestic legal regimes.

This carefully edited collection will be of interest to all practitioners, scholars, and students of the law and theory of international human rights.

Whither Human Rights in India: Critical Essays on Democracy, State Power, Civil Liberties & the Live
<p><i>Whither Human Rights in India</i>, edited by Anand Teltumbde, one of India's prominent human rights activists, is a searing and indispensable anthology that brings together some of the most important thinkers, activists and human rights defenders of our time. The essays trace the historical and ideological roots of India's human rights discourse--from colonial legacies and constitutional guarantees to the challenges posed by majoritarian politics, state violence and systemic inequality. </p><p>Contributors critically examine institutions and practices shaping the current landscape: judicial responses, hate speech, impunity, 'bulldozer justice' and contested models of development. They also turn to the lived realities of vulnerable communities--Dalits, Adivasis, Muslims, Christians, women, children, LGBTQI+ people and prisoners--whose struggles for dignity illuminate the larger battle for justice and democracy. </p><p>Featuring incisive contributions from Harsh Mander, Kalpana Kannabiran, Aakar Patel, Teesta Setalvad, Gautam Navlakha, Mihir Desai and others, this volume offers an unflinching exploration of human rights at a critical juncture in India's history. </p><p>Dedicated to the memory of Father Stan Swamy and Prof. G. N. Saibaba, <i>Whither Human Rights in India </i>is both a record of resistance and a call to rethink the future of democracy and human dignity. </p>
