Al hablar de nuestros derechos fundamentales y libertades públicas, el artículo 15 de la Constitución Española proclama el "(...) derecho a la vida y a la integridad física y moral, sin que, en ningún caso, puedan ser sometidos a tortura, ni a penas o tratos inhumanos o degradantes".Muchas situaciones que, actualmente, tienen una indudable repercusión social están relacionadas con la integridad personal: la violencia doméstica, el acoso laboral o escolar, la investigación con embriones, los descubrimientos genéticos e incluso los peligros que conlleva en este ámbito la contaminación del medio ambiente.Por ese motivo nos encontramos ante un libro muy original donde el autor analiza este derecho fundamental -muy poco estudiado por la doctrina hasta ahora- respondiendo a cuestiones tan problemáticas como qué bien se protege con este derecho o a qué se tiene derecho cuando se invoca{ todo ello, teniendo en cuenta tanto la normativa como la jurisprudencia española, comunitaria e internacional.
This book is a systematic commentary on half a century of case law on the Convention system made by a group of legal experts from various universities and legal disciplines. It provides a guide of the rights protected under ECHR as well as a better understanding, open to supranational scenarios, of fundamental rights in the respective Constitutions. Our intention is not only to make available a mere case law commentary. This work indeed offers succinct information on the most consolidated lines of case law and this is probably where it is most useful. Nevertheless there is also academic reflection, which we believe is nowadays essential as Europe is becoming more than a continent: it is, above all, a civilisation, with a common language of rights, a developing ius commune.
While an abundance of literature covers the right of states to defend themselves against external aggression, this is the first book dedicated to the right to personal self-defense in international law. Dr. Hessbruegge sets out in careful detail the strict requirements that human rights impose on defensive force by law enforcement authorities, especially police killings in self-defense. The book also discusses the exceptional application of the right to personal self-defense in military-led operations, notably to contain violent civilians who do not directly participate in hostilities. The author establishes that international law gives individuals the right to forcibly resist human rights violations that pose a serious risk of significant and irreparable harm. At the same time, he calls into question prevailing state practice, which fails to recognize any collective right to organized armed resistance even when it constitutes the last resort to defend against genocide or other mass atrocities.
This comprehensive Research Handbook offers an in-depth examination of the most significant factors affecting compliance with international human rights law, which has emerged as one of the key problems in the efforts to promote effective protection of human rights. In particular, it examines the relationships between regional human rights courts and domestic actors and judiciaries.
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of populism on the European democratic polity. In the last two decades, European democracies have come under strain amid growing populism. By asserting the superiority of the majority over the law, of direct democracy over representation, and claiming the necessity to defend national sovereignty against foreign interferences, the populist conception of democracy is in stark contrast with the longstanding Western notion of liberal democracy. This volume investigates populist attempts to radically change what Bobbio called the “rules of the game” of democracy from an eminently legal perspective. Weaving together normative and empiri...
Constitutions are a product of history, but what is the role of history in interpreting and applying constitutional provisions? This volume addresses that question from a comparative perspective, examining different uses of history by courts in constitutional adjudication.
