Realisation of Human Rights: When Theory Meets Practice. Studies in Honour of
Leo Zwaak” (Yves Haeck, Brianne McGonigle Leyh, Clara Burbano Herrera, Diana
Contreras Garduno (eds.), 2013). Esta
es la descripción del libro y su tabla de contenidos:
Human
rights are not aspirational, rather they are meant to be realised. Since the
adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a growing number of
treaties, declarations, resolutions and other materials has been produced and a
wide array of international institutions have been created to monitor the
implementation of human rights. Through these documents and institutions the
realisation of human rights begins. However, the struggle to ensure the rights
and freedoms of individuals is never an easy one. It requires the commitment of
those who believe in the core nature of human rights. One such person has been
Leo Zwaak. The idea behind The Realization of Human Rights: When Theory
Meets Practice is that throughout Leo Zwaak’s professional life he dedicated
himself to the realisation of human rights. Whether acting as an encylopaedia
of knowledge when teaching human rights at the university or providing judicial
trainings on the five continents, Leo Zwaak has impacted the world of human
rights in many ways. This book is organised into six parts: International Human
Rights Law in General; European Human Rights Law; Inter-American and African
Human Rights Law; International Human Rights Law, International Criminal Law
and International Humanitarian Law; International Human Rights Law,
Extraordinary Rendition and Forced Disappearances; and the International and
National Protection of Human Rights. As the book reflects, Leo Zwaak’s work has
touched on a wide range of fields, spanning the universal, regional and
national levels.
