The Judicial Application of Human Rights Law
Since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, over 165 countries have incorporated human rights standards into their legal systems: the resulting jurisprudence from diverse cultural traditions creates new dimensions to concepts first articulated in 1948. In this revised second edition, Nihal Jayawickrama draws on extensive sources to encapsulate the judicial interpretation of human rights law in one comprehensive volume. Jayawickrama covers the case law of the superior courts of 103 countries in America, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific, as well as jurisprudence of human rights monitoring bodies. He analyses the judicial application of human rights law to demonstrate empirically the universality of contemporary human rights norms. This definitive volume is essential for legal practitioners, and government and non-governmental officials, as well as academics and students of both constitutional law and the international law of human rights.

Human Rights
This is an analysis of the attempts made in Sri Lanka to provide constitutional protection for certain civil and political rights. The 1972 and 1978 Republican Constitutions, each of which contained a chapter on Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, is examined against the background of the less idealistic Order in Council of 1946 which contained the first Constitution of Independent Ceylon. The latter, which served as the basis for government for nearly twenty-five years, was drafted in the mid 'Forties, at a time when Bills of Rights-consciousness was hardly evident in the British Empire and still less among the elitist leadership thrown up by colonial rule in Ceylon.
