Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Coercive Human Rights: Positive Duties to Mobilise the Criminal Law under the ECHR by Edited by Laurens Lavrysen Edited by Dr Natasa Mavronicola
This collection focuses on the rich jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights to explore four interlocking themes surrounding the issue of coercive human rights: (1) Duties to mobilise the criminal law as a means of delivering human rights protection. (2) Factors that contribute to a readiness to demand coercive measures including discrimination and vulnerability. (3) The most pressing challenges for the ECtHR’s coercive duties doctrine including: - how it relates to theories and rationales of criminalisation and criminal punishment; - its implications for the fundamental tenets of human rights law itself; and- its relationship to transitional justice objectives. (4) The (prospective) evolution of coercive human rights doctrine and its application within national jurisdictions.
