What are the most effective and legitimate means of promoting human rights? Both of these issues raise profound moral questions within legaland political philosophy. The contributions within this volume address the conceptual and moral issues deriving from the expansion of rights discourse and explore the variety of institutional mechanismsthat may be adopted to protect and further human rights. At the same time, they illustrate the complex relationship between defining human rights and adopting particular modes of institutional implementation. What should and what should not to be counted as a human right? What does it mean to identify a right as a human right? And what are the most effective and legitimate means of promoting human rights? This book addresses these questions and the complex relationship between the answers to them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
