CPG’s Human Rights Online Resources
Fundamental concepts and current developments in international human rights
Our Student Reader (1st edition, 2019) introduces basic human rights concepts and covers a variety of specific human rights fields. It explains the sources and principles of international law before assessing the United Nations human rights system in depth. It moves on to regional human rights protection mechanisms such as the European Convention on Human Rights, the Inter-American, the African and the Southeast-Asian systems of human rights protection. Further chapters cover international criminal criminal law and transitional justice, armed force and human rights, migration-related issues of human rights, and business and human rights.
All chapters are equipped with discussion points and references to further readings.
This Reader has been created with the support from the Government of Sweden and the International Center for Not-For-Profit Law (Washington D.C.).
