The Local Relevance of Human Rights (European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Do human rights offer real protection when disadvantaged groups invoke them at the local level in an attempt to improve their living conditions? If so, how can we make sure that the experiences of those invoking human rights at the local level have an impact on the further development of human rights (at national and other levels) so that the local relevance of human rights increases? Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948, numerous international documents have reaffirmed human rights as global norms. This book examines what factors determine whether appeals to human rights that emanate from the local level are successful, and whether the UDHR adequately responds to threats as currently defined by relevant groups or whether a revision of some of the ideas included in the UDHR is needed in order to increase its contemporary relevance.

Condition: Bueno. : Este libro examina los factores que determinan si las apelaciones a los derechos humanos que emanan del nivel local tienen éxito y si la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos (DUDH) responde adecuadamente a las amenazas tal como las definen los grupos relevantes, o si es necesaria una revisión de algunas de las ideas incluidas en la DUDH para aumentar su relevancia contemporánea. Analiza si los derechos humanos ofrecen una protección real cuando los grupos desfavorecidos los invocan a nivel local en un intento de mejorar sus condiciones de vida y cómo asegurar que las experiencias de quienes invocan los derechos humanos a nivel local tengan un impacto en el desarrollo de los derechos humanos a nivel nacional e internacional.
