Rights as Security

  • Categories: Law

The right to security of person is widely recognized but little understood. Courts, legislatures, and scholars disagree about how the right to security of person should be defined. This book investigates the meaning of the right to security of person through an analysis of its constituent parts. Applying an original conceptual analysis of 'security', the right to security of person imposes both positive and negative duties. Also, identifying the interests to be protected by the right requires a theory of personhood or wellbeing such as Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's 'capabilities approach'. It is accepted that any existing legal rights to security of person must be artificially delineated in order not to overstep the boundaries of other rights. In recognition of the naturally broad meaning of the right to security of person, it is proposed that human rights law as a whole should be seen as a mechanism to further security of person: rights as security.

Full Protection and Security in International Investment Law

  • Categories: Law

This book provides a comprehensive study of the standard of ‘full protection and security’ (FPS) in international investment law. Ever since the Germany-Pakistan BIT of 1959, almost every investment agreement has included an FPS clause. FPS claims refer to the most diverse factual settings, from terrorist attacks to measures concerning concession contracts. Still, the FPS standard has received far less scholarly attention than other obligations under international investment law. Filling that gap, this study examines the evolution of FPS from its medieval roots to the modern age, delimits the scope of FPS in customary international law, and analyzes the relationship between FPS and the c...

A Question of Adoption

A Question of Adoption gives a richly detailed, immensely readable account of the ideology and practice of closed stranger adoption in New Zealand, from pregnancy through to the final adoption order and its aftermath. Anne Else’s scrupulous, moving narrative explores social and moral attitudes towards ‘unmarried mothers’, ‘unwanted children’ and ‘childless couples’ during the 1950s and 1960s. She shows how the resulting system took shape, how it worked (or failed to work), and its lifelong effects on everyone involved, then sets out how and why change began to occur. This new e-book edition, written with Maria Haenga-Collins, includes seven ground-breaking new chapters providin...
