Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Human Right to a Dignified Existence in an International Context: Legal and Philosophical Perspectives by Edited by Logi Gunnarsson Edited by Ulrike Mürbe Edited by Norman Weiß
How does the foundational role of human dignity co-exist with more concrete demands of addressing basic human needs such as ending poverty? The expert voices in this collection connect with general philoshopical reasoning to answer that question. Their legal and political arguments are based on recent rulings of regional courts and international human rights bodies. Taking the discusion out of the realm of abstract they not only discuss obligations resulting from human rights they also ask which institutions or corporations are responsible for their realisation.
