Why Human Rights?
Why Human Rights?: A Philosophical Guide explores the three fundamental philosophical claims underlying the moral idea of human rights: (1) Universal justice, and objections to it on relativist and diversity grounds. This question is integral to many human rights claims regarding, for example, gender discrimination, caning punishments, and child marriages in traditional societies, all of which assume justice can be global, not only local. (2) Human equality, and hierarchical moral status claims like caste. Moral status claims are also central to current controversies over abortion, assisted suicide, and animal rights, among others. (3) Individual rights, and collectivist counterclaims from u...

The Cambridge Companion to International Law
This intellectually rigorous introduction to international law encourages readers to engage with multiple aspects of the topic: as 'law' directing and shaping its subjects; as a technique for governing the world of states and beyond statehood; and as a framework within which several critical and constructivist projects are articulated. The articles situate international law in its historical and ideological context and examine core concepts such as sovereignty, jurisdiction and the state. Attention is also given to its operation within international institutions and in dispute settlement, and a separate section is devoted to international law's 'projects': protecting human rights, eradicating poverty, the conservation of resources, the regulation of international trade and investment and the establishment of international order. The diverse group of contributors draws from disciplinary orientations ranging from positivism to postmodernism to ensure that this book is informed theoretically and politically, as well as grounded in practice.
