Book Description
This book examines the right to be forgotten and finds that this right enjoys recognition mostly in jurisdictions where privacy interests impose limits on freedom of expression. According to its traditional understanding, this right gives individuals the possibility to preclude the media from revealing personal facts that are no longer newsworthy, at least where no other interest prevails. Cases sanctioning this understanding still abound in a number of countries. In today’s world, however, the right to be forgotten has evolved, and it appears in a more multi-faceted way. It can involve for instance also the right to access, control and even erase personal data. Of course, these prerogatives depend on various factors and competing interests, of both private and public nature, which again require careful balancing. Due to ongoing technological evolution, it is likely that the right to be forgotten in some of its new manifestations will become increasingly relevant in our societies.

Book Description
Notre recherche visait au départ l'analyse de la substance du dommage moral: retrouver les sentiments à l'intérieur des chefs de dommage moral. Une première lecture des jugements québécois publiés, rendus entre le 1er janvier 1950 et le 31 décembre 2008 et à l'intérieur desquels des dommages et intérêts ont été octroyés pour réparer un dommage moral en matière de responsabilité civile extracontractuelle, laisse une impression de confusion et de désordre, tant au plan terminologique qu'au plan conceptuel. Dommage moral, préjudice extrapatrimonial, dommage non pécuniaire, préjudice moral: autant de termes qui rendent impossible une synthèse des chefs de préjudice. C'est finalement à l'analyse des raisons de cette confusion, aux formes qu'elle prend, aux moyens déployés par les juristes pour, sinon la surmonter, du moins la contenir, que la présente thèse est consacrée. Malgré cette confusion et ce désordre, un constat général d'homogénéité et de stabilité des discours judiciaire et juridique sur le préjudice extrapatrimonial peut d'abord être tracé. Le dommage moral et le préjudice extrapatrimonial (les deux étant couramment assimilés) sont réputés difficilement réparables. Afin de contenir l'arbitraire et la subjectivité qui caractérisent le préjudice extrapatrimonial, un discours dominant rationnel et raisonnable s'est construit et une évaluation globale du préjudice est pratiquée par les juges. Il en résulte une stabilité des montants des dommages et intérêts octroyés à titre de réparation. Mais pourquoi autant de mots pour décrire une même réalité? Dommage et préjudice sont actuellement employés en droit québécois comme s'ils étaient terminologiquement et conceptuellement indistincts; il en résulte une sursimplification de la responsabilité civile. Nous proposons que le dommage (qu'il soit corporel, matériel ou moral) et le préjudice (qu'il soit extrapatrimonial ou patrimonial) sont distincts. Le dommage se qualifie au siège de l'atteinte (des corps, des choses, des sentiments et valeurs) et le préjudice se qualifie au regard de la nature des répercussions du dommage (répercussions patrimoniales ou extrapatrimoniales). Ainsi distingués, dommage et préjudice retrouvent un sens tout en faisant ressortir les deux temps composant la responsabilité civile: l'établissement d'une responsabilité à l'aide de la faute, du dommage et du lien de causalité les unissant (1er temps) et la réparation du préjudice accompagnant le dommage (2e temps). Par une telle distinction, la sursimplification de la responsabilité civile est dépassée et force est de constater que bien peu de choses sont dites dans les jugements sur la substance du dommage moral et même sur le dommage moral tout court. Le discours dominant porte essentiellement sur la difficile détermination de la quotité des dommages et intérêts pour réparer le préjudice extrapatrimonial. Si le dommage moral et le préjudice extrapatrimonial n'étaient pas confondus et employés par les juristes avec une apparente cohérence, une synthèse des chefs de préjudice extrapatrimonial, telle qu'envisagée au départ, aurait peut-être été possible...

Book Description
This volume analyses the legal grounds, premises and extent of pecuniary compensation for violations of human rights in national legal systems. The scope of comparison includes liability regimes in general and in detail, the correlation between pecuniary remedies available under international law and under domestic law, and special (alternative) compensation systems. All sources of human rights violations are embraced, including historical injustices and systematical and gross violations. The book is a collection of nineteen contributions written by public international law, international human rights and private law experts, covering fifteen European jurisdictions (including Central and Eastern Europe), the United States, Israel and EU law. The contributions, initially prepared for the 19th International Congress of Comparative law in Vienna (2014), present the latest developments in legislation, scholarship and case-law concerning domestic causes of action in cases of human rights abuses. The book concludes with a comparative report which assesses the developments in tort law and public liability law, the role of the constitutionalisation of the right to damages as well as the court practice related to the process of enforcement of human rights through monetary remedies. This country-by-country comparison allows to consider whether the value of protection of human rights as expressed in international treaties, ius cogens and in national constitutional laws justifies the conclusion that the interests at stake should enjoy protection under the existing civil liability rules, or that a new cause of action, or even a whole new set of rules, should be created in national systems.

Book Description
This volume is the sixth in the Series The Judges, which collects and synthesizes the opinions of leading international Judges of the contemporary era who have contributed significantly to the progressive development of international law. The current volume contains a selection of the Individual Opinions of Judge Antônio A. Cançado Trindade, former Judge and President of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and since 2008 a Judge of the International Court of Justice. Many dwell on aspects of the increased humanization of international law. Elevating this body of norms, which have traditionally focused on purely inter-State relations, to a level where individuals and their suffering (projected in time) become a primary concern, is without doubt Antônio A. Cançado Trindade ́s major doctrinal contribution. Revisiting the traditional conceptions of the basis of State responsibility and of jurisdiction, the problems of amnesty laws, the prohibitions of jus cogens, the imperative of access to justice in the light of jus cogens, the obligations erga omnes of protection, the provisional measures of protection, locus standi in judicio and the international legal personality of the human person, jus standi and the international legal capacity of the human person, and developments in reparations, are but a few examples of the themes examined in the learned Opinions expressed by Judge Cançado Trindade at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. The great achievement of Judge Cançado Trindade at the International Court of Justice has been to draw attention to this dimension, and to further its development in the international case-law, in the light of the universal juridical conscience and stressing the relevance of general principles of international law. In a significant number of cases the World Court acts today as a human rights court, dealing increasingly, albeit under the traditional umbrella of inter-State disputes, with situations that involve human suffering and lead it to find human rights violations. The volume includes a Preface by Dean Spielmann and a General Introduction by Andrew Drzemczewski. Two volume set. This title comprises volume 1 & 2. We also offer this title as part of a 3 volume set (isbn 9789004375048).
