en su página web la versión electrónica del libro Human Rights and Civil Liberties in the 21st Century, editado por Yves Haeck y Eva Brems, del
Centro de Derechos Humanos de la Universidad de Gante, Bélgica. Esta es la descripción de
la obra:
“This volume contributes to the on-going legal discussion on
pressing procedural and substantial law issues in the ambit of international
human rights and civil liberties. While the 20th century has seen the true
awakening of human rights, the 21st century poses new challenges to this
ever-unfolding area of law. Not only do international tribunals and
quasi-tribunals worldwide and domestic US and European continental courts have
to deal with increasing numbers of complaints and petitions from individuals and
groups on a vast array of societal problems, the legal issues put to them are
sometimes extremely difficult to resolve as they relate to very sensitive
issues. This book examines issues ranging from the status of human rights under
US law to the status of the ECHR in the broader context of international law.
It looks at the role of positive obligations in the case law of the Strasbourg
Court, as well the impact of its case-law on childbirth and push-back operation
towards boat people, but also at the growing unwillingness of ECHR member
states to cooperate with the Strasbourg Court. It explores the new frontiers in
US Capital punishment litigation, the first case before the International
Criminal Court and the legal effect of judgments of the European Court on third
states.”
