Inhaltsangabe

This book addresses the controversial issue of transnational human rights obligations in an innovative way by crafting legally sound hypothetical "judgments" from a number of adjudicatory fora. The judgments are based on real world situations where extraterritorial or transnational issues have emerged, and draw on existing international human rights law. Each hypothetical judgment is accompanied by commentary placing it in context to show how international human rights law can address issues of a transnational character. Through this method the book shows that there are a number of judicial and quasi-judicial systems where transnational human rights claims can, and should be enforced.
