  1. Reframing Legalization, Compliance and Rule by Law as Law as Practice: The Example of Authoritarian Rule, the 1994 Genocide and the Pursuit of National Unity in Rwanda.Stacey M. Mitchell - forthcoming - Human Rights Review:1-27.
    Domestication and compliance with international human rights laws are generally conceptualized as endpoints that states linearly strive to achieve. Missing is a consideration of the impact a state’s formal and informal institutional legacies have on both. Legalization and compliance studies also cannot explain why states engage in rule by law practices. Rule by law studies focus on politicians’ use of the law to curb dissent, with little consideration given to the lasting influence of institutions and norms on behavior. Legalization, compliance, (...)

  2. Supererogatory consumer choices grounded in the human right to privacy.Richard Mackenzie-Gray Scott - 2025 - International Journal of Law and Information Technology 33:1-30.
    The deployment of privacy-reducing digital products is a well-known contemporary issue. Multiple conceptual, regulatory, and legal approaches have attempted to address it. This article illuminates a complementary approach yet to be explored: supererogatory consumer choices grounded in the human right to privacy. It argues that the operation of privacy is not limited to vertical relations of power under legal frameworks, but can also operate in horizontal relations of power by way of supererogation as it applies to consumer decision-making about digital (...)

  3. Human Rights Penality and Violence Against Women: The Coloniality of Disembodied Justice.Silvana Tapia Tapia - 2025 - Law and Critique 36 (1):41-65.
    Despite the persistence of violence inside and around prisons, and the dubious adequacy of criminal law to respond to victim–survivors, international human rights (IHR) discourse increasingly promotes the mobilisation of the state’s penal apparatus to respond to human rights violations, including violence against women (VAW). Using an anticolonial feminist approach, this article scrutinises the ontological and epistemological commitments underlying ‘human rights penality,’ by analysing features of the Western-colonial register vis-a-vis more relational worldviews. Separateness, abstraction, and transcendence broadly underpin the exclusion (...)

  4. The Impact of Movement “Originalism” on American Legal Polarization.Deborah Pearlstein - 2025 - Law and Ethics of Human Rights 19 (1):51-88.
    The behavior of judges on both the U.S. Supreme Court, and on federal and state courts throughout the United States, has changed dramatically in the past decade – polarizing along party lines in ways not visible in decades past. Yet while this pattern in some respects echoes that seen in other constitutional democracies around the world today, American legal polarization has been driven in important part by a specifically domestic conservative legal movement whose role and impact are still only partly (...)

  5. Political Polarization and the Partisanship of Institutions.Moshe Cohen-Eliya & Iddo Porat - 2025 - Law and Ethics of Human Rights 19 (1):1-29.
    Political polarization has become one of the most significant challenges facing modern democracies, reshaping political discourse, governance, and public trust in institutions. This article explores the nature of polarization, defining it as the deepening ideological and social divide between political factions, often accompanied by hostility and distrust. We examine its primary causes, including economic inequality, media fragmentation, identity politics, and institutional design, all of which contribute to reinforcing divisions and entrenching partisan loyalties. A central argument of this article is that (...)

  6. E Uno Plures: Secession as a Response to Constitutional Polarization.Mark Tushnet - 2025 - Law and Ethics of Human Rights 19 (1):31-49.
    Could voluntary or negotiated secession or separation be a solution to the problems of maintaining a single government for a highly polarized polity? Negotiated secession would convert political negotiations over the terms of domestic law into negotiations over the terms of international treaties regulating relations between separate nations. The existence of bilateral and multilateral treaties across a range of topics reduces the costs of individual negotiations because such treaties offer “off-the-shelf” models. Tradeoffs across topics can provide protections for the “minorities (...)

  7. How Can Courts Encourage Constitutional Replacement?Sergio Verdugo - 2025 - Law and Ethics of Human Rights 19 (1):117-141.
    Courts often do not play a significant role in constitutional replacement processes. Observers have identified exceptions and theorized about the courts’ possible functions during and after those processes. However, little has been said about the courts’ work taking place before replacement processes occur. This essay shows that courts can help establish the conditions for constitutional change by encouraging the demand for such change. They can do that by fostering the perception that the Constitution has become a tool to help one (...)

    For the second half of the twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first century, the belief in pancontinental constitutional frameworks boosted the political and legal integration of Europe. In less than twenty years, the scenario has dramatically changed. The belief that the peoples of Europe would proceed through a potentially endless process of harmonization and unification has been replaced by political tensions between those who support integration and those who support state sovereignty. Such tensions have materialized both within (...)

  9. Human Rights as Govt-Given Rights? A Theoretical Analysis of Thailand’s National Human Rights Action Plan.Srisombat Chokprajakchat & Wanaporn Techagaisiyavanit - forthcoming - Human Rights Review:1-26.
    Since the adoption of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action in 1993, national human rights plans have become a widely used tool for countries to assess and address their human rights situations. Despite the proliferation of these policy instruments, research on their drafting processes and their impact on the meaning of human rights remains limited. This study provides a theoretical analysis of Thailand's National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP), focusing on its latest drafting experience through the lens of the (...)

    This article addresses the moral and legal difficulties sport governing bodies encounter as human rights promoters. The case presented here is the 2023 decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete in international sport under neutral colours, after recommending complete exclusion a year before due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While IOC’s change of mind was influenced by UN experts on human rights, claiming that the ban discriminated against Russian athletes, the (...)

It emphasizes that while cultural identity is essential for human dignity and personal freedom, this right remains underexplored in contemporary human rights discourse, leading to the essentialization of culture and neglecting its dynamic nature. By promoting the recognition of the freedom to redefine cultural identity, the article positions this freedom as crucial to human rights. It supports this (...)

  16. From Commitment to Compliance: The Discursive Challenge to Ending Enforced Disappearances in Democratic Argentina.Michelle D. Bonner - 2024 - Human Rights Review 25 (4):369-391.
    Enforced disappearances occur almost every year in democratic Argentina (over 200 since 1983). Yet Argentina has made extensive legal commitments to end the practice and its strong human rights movement has pushed for these commitments and subsequent compliance. So, why has compliance been so difficult to achieve in Argentina? I argue that enforced disappearances in democracy produce powerful government counterframes that significantly impede human rights advocates’ efforts to ensure treaty compliance. These counterframes are reinforced by judicial ambiguity and fragment human (...)

Due to the failure of the US to ratify CEDAW, the Cities for CEDAW campaign encourages US municipalities to adopt the CEDAW framework locally through municipal ordinances and resolutions. This article provides a descriptive overview of CEDAW cities. Our descriptive approach will provide a comprehensive and accurate account of (...)

    Many post-conflict and post-transition countries use truth commissions to address the legacy of the past. However, truth commissions are products of the political context and often reflect the power balance at the time of creation. More than half of truth commissions show some form of one-sided treatment. To what extent does this matter? Has the public priced in the political circumstances or does a one-sided truth commission damage expectations of peace? Using an experiment to deal with the endogeneity between the (...)

  21. Sentient dignity and the plausible inclusion of animals.Matthew Wray Perry - forthcoming - Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
    Dignity often serves as the cornerstone for a justification of rights. However, it has been criticised for its exclusion of nonhuman animals and many human individuals: dignity is traditionally grounded in a capacity that some but not all humans and animals possess, e.g. rationality. To successfully overcome this problem of exclusion, this article argues that we should adopt an account of sentient dignity, i.e. an account of dignity based on sentience alone. The article thus makes three contributions. First, it demonstrates (...)

  22. Oikeus sananvapauteen: onko haitallisen puheen sallimisesta jotain hyötyä?Otto Lehto - 2019 - In Maija Aalto-Heinilä & Visa Kurki, Mitä oikeudet ovat? Filosofian ja oikeustieteen näkökulmia. Helsinki: Gaudeamus. pp. 191-205.
    Tämä artikkeli esittelee utilitaristisen valistusliberalismin käsityksen sananvapaudesta. Sen perusväite on, että tiedonhaluinen, kehittyvä ja demokraattinen yhteiskunta hyötyy pitkällä tähtäimellä enemmän laajan sananvapauden sallimisesta kuin sen maltillisestakin rajoittamisesta. Tämän näkökulman mukaan haitallisen puheen – kuten vihapuheen ja muun loukkaavan puheen – tukahduttaminen on epätoivottavaa mutta tilannekohtaisesti hyötylaskelmien mukaan perusteltavissa, jos laajan sananvapauden pitkän tähtäimen hyödyt on otettu riittävästi huomioon. Ongelma onkin siinä, että näitä pitkän tähtäimen hyötyjä ei yleensä ole otettu riittävästi huomioon. Sananvapauden haitat ovat kiistattomia, joten sananvapauden uskottavan puolustuksen tulee (...)

  23. Mitä oikeudet ovat? Filosofian ja oikeustieteen näkökulmia.Maija Aalto-Heinilä & Visa Kurki (eds.) - 2019 - Helsinki: Gaudeamus.
    Miten ajattelu oikeuksista pohjautuu antiikin ja varhaisen keskiajan filosofiaan ja yhteis­kunnalliseen kehitykseen? Mitä tarkoittaa, että jollakulla on oikeus johonkin, ja kenellä oikeuksia voi olla? Entä mihin universaalit ihmisoikeudet perustuvat? Julkisuudessa ja politiikassa puhutaan yhä useammin oikeuksista. Turvapaikanhakijoiden kohtelusta keskusteltaessa esiin nostetaan etenkin ihmisoikeudet. Huoli ilmaston­muutoksesta on kiihdyttänyt pohdintaa eläinten ja luonnonympäristön oikeuksista. Kiivasta väittelyä synnyttää myös sanan­vapauden ja vihapuheen rajoittamisen suhde. Mitä oikeudet ovat? -teoksessa oikeuden käsitettä ja kehitystä pohtivat niin oikeus­tieteilijät kuin filosofitkin. Se on ensimmäinen suomenkielinen kirja, jossa näiden (...)

    The discourse inside and outside of sport in Australia and abroad on the participation of transgender women in female sport focuses on the principles of fairness, equity and the safety of competitors. These concerns commonly materialise (with little evidence) labelling transgender women as ‘cheats’, dominating female sport, strategically being coached in collision sports to intentionally hurt opponents or fraudulently transitioning with the sole aim of competing in elite women’s sport. Our research examines the process by which the Australian Football League (...)

    It has often been argued that charitable donations are not a sufficient response to global poverty; individuals need to address structural injustice. Proponents of the Effective Altruism (EA) movement have raised two main problems with this focus on structural injustice. In this paper, we respond to these concerns. The first problem raised by EA proponents is that focusing on structural injustice absolves individuals of any responsibility other than political ones. In response, we argue that discharging this duty requires more commitment (...)

On the other side, we have the answer given by liberal-democratic defenders of Enlightenment (Arendt, Habermas, Rawls): It claims the Holocaust was caused (...)

So steht sie auch immer wieder im Zentrum erbitterter internationaler politischer Auseinandersetzungen. Dabei kritisieren nicht nur Despoten die Ansprüche auf Allgemeingültigkeit als verdeckten Kulturimperialismus und kaschiertes Hegemonialstreben. Wie jedoch jeder weiß, kann ein Schutz der Menschenrechte zur Überlebensfrage werden. Zu aller Zeit und in allen Kulturen waren Menschen nur zu schnell zur Grausamkeit bereit.

    AI-enabled State surveillance capabilities are likely to exert chilling effects whereby individuals modify their behavior due to a fear of the potential consequences if that behavior is observed. The risk is that chilling effects drive individuals towards the mainstream, slowly reducing the space for personal and political development. This could prove devastating for individuals’ ability to freely develop their identity and, ultimately, for the evolution and vibrancy of democratic society. As it stands, human rights law cannot effectively conceptualize this cumulative, (...)

It is unfounded in the sense that at least in modern functional democracies, the state and religion are not actually separated but are in fact constantly interacting and affecting one another. It is dangerous in the sense that if church and state could truly be separated, it (...)

    In illiberal contexts, religion can be mobilized to support conservative legal reforms in the areas of gender, sexuality, and reproduction. However, the role of religion in illiberal agendas that roll back the rights of women and LGBTQ populations is unclear and the subject of scholarly debate. This article seeks to add a greater level of granularity to these discussions. It takes the role of “Christianity” in illiberal contexts in Europe as a case study and triangulates three theoretical perspectives. A first (...)

    A central task of comparative constitutional law scholarship is categorization and classification of constitutions. Recent scholarship, no doubt informed by the populist tide, has sought to develop the concept of a mixed constitution. Broadly speaking, a mixed constitution is a constitution that integrates liberal and illiberal elements, elements that are usually separate and not found under the same constitution. The study of “mixed constitutions” encompasses both descriptive and normative aspects. First, an attempt to ascertain what, exactly, makes a constitution “mixed.” (...)

It argues that the relationship has evolved from a form of legal pluralism found in the European Union to a monist but bifurcated system—to a “dual state,” to borrow from Ernst Fraenkel’s theory.

Specifically, I draw upon insights from comparative constitutionalism to discuss four main areas of constitutional law and theory that appear to hold some intellectual promise in this context: (i) formal constitutional commitment at the national level to recognizing the urban/rural divide (...)

  42. (1 other version)The Dual State in the United States: The Case of Lynching and Legal Lynchings.Mark Tushnet - 2022 - Law and Ethics of Human Rights 16 (1):41-59.
    This article uses Ernst Fraenkel’s concept of the “dual state” as the vehicle for examining the role of “lynch law” as a mode of governance of African Americans in the United States from 1865 to 1940 (roughly). It begins with a largely jurisprudential inquiry placing my interpretation of Ernst Fraenkel’s distinction between the normative state and the prerogative state in dialogue with a version of American Legal Realism, in which law consists entirely of “moves” such as permissible distinctions and analogies (...)

  43. (1 other version)Between the Prerogative and the Normative States: The Evolving Power to Detain in China’s Political-Legal System.Hualing Fu - 2022 - Law and Ethics of Human Rights 16 (1):61-97.
    This article uses Ernst Fraenkel’s dual-state framework as an analytical tool to study those conflicting imperatives and constitutional tensions with a focus on the power to detain. This article makes the argument that China has emerged as a dual state with a normal state that functions increasingly with a rule-based government in inter-personal matters and a prerogative state that solidifies control in areas that are regarded as political sensitive. Overall, while the equilibrium between the normative and prerogative states has been (...)

  44. (1 other version)The Mix of Latin American Populist Constitutionalism.Juan F. González Bertomeu & Maria Paula Saffon - 2022 - Law and Ethics of Human Rights 16 (1):137-165.
    In this article, we study Latin American populist constitutions and their uses, seeking to analytically understand whether populist constitutionalism is, indeed, a thing. We posit that Latin American populist constitutionalism is a particular form of mixed constitutionalism in three senses: first, as a specific combination of substantive traits that includes both empowering and (some) constraining devices; second, as a peculiar politics of constitutional change that incorporates popular mobilization against pre-existing institutions as a key trait; and third, as a particular practice (...)

  48. Human Rights and Natural Law: An Intercultural Philosophical Perspective.Walter Schweidler (ed.) - 2012 - Sankt Augustin: Academia Verlag.
    It was in ancient Greek philosophy where the idea arose that there is a supreme law before which any civil law created by human societies has to be justified. Since then the concept of natural law not only remained one of the paradigms of Western civilization but has shaped the development of international legislation in general. The understanding of the significance of the idea of a natural law for the philosophical presuppositions of our current concepts of human rights and human (...)

  49. The Dignity of Work and Workers.Pablo Gilabert - forthcoming - In Julian Jonker & Grant Rozeboom, Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Work. Oxford University Press.
    This paper explores the significance of dignity for our understanding of the rights of workers. It surveys important uses of the idea of dignity in several discursive contexts, and offers an interpretation that illuminates the content, scope, and normative force of labor rights. The discursive contexts considered include human rights, socialism, Kantian practical philosophy, and Christian social thought. The interpretation of dignity offered illuminates basic rights to decent conditions in which workers for example choose their occupation, receive adequate remuneration, and (...)

  50. Rightsholder-Driven Remedy for Business-Related Human Rights Abuse: Case of the Fair Food Program.Alysha Kate Shivji - 2024 - Journal of Business Ethics 193 (2):363-382.
    This paper investigates necessary conditions for developing a participatory, rightsholder-driven approach to remedy for business-related human rights abuses by analyzing findings from a case study with the Fair Food Program. With the inclusion of human rights into discussions of business ethics and CSR, scholars and practitioners have made calls for participatory approaches to remedy to address cases of human rights abuses. However, a gap remains in our understanding of how to operationalize participatory approaches in a manner that empowers rightsholders, particularly (...)
