Recherches sur l'interaction entre les normes internationales relatives aux droits de la personne
Author: Sandrine TurgisPublisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 1294
Book Description
Les normes internationales relatives aux droits de la personne sont souvent présentées comme relevant de trois branches distinctes que sont les droits de l'homme, le droit humanitaire et le droit des réfugiés. Cependant, ces trois ensembles de protection et les normes qu'ils garantissent ne peuvent pas être appréhendés individuellement : ils interagissent. En effet, un phénomène de fécondation croisée apparaît entre toutes ces normes de protection, au sein de chacune de ces branches et entre elles, que ce soit lors de leur apparition sur la scène internationale ou lors de leur interprétation par les organes internationaux de contrôle, correspondant, dans ce dernier cas, à un dialogue des juges. L'interaction normative ainsi identifiée nécessite d'étudier ses vecteurs et son impact sur le droit international des droits de la personne. En effet, plusieurs acteurs participent à ce phénomène, à des degrés divers. Cependant, cet aspect sociologique de la question doit être prolongé par une analyse des supports juridiques qui justifient et permettent l'interaction normative. En ce qui concerne les conséquences de cette interaction, la question de l'émergence d'un droit commun par ce biais nécessite de se pencher tant sur les critères qui président au choix de la source externe que sur les divers mouvements de circulation des normes qui accompagnent ce phénomène. De plus, si la prise en compte de normes externes peut avoir un impact sur le contenu du droit international de la personne, elle soulève aussi des interrogations, notamment, en termes de crédibilité de la technique et de sécurité juridique
The Burden of Proof in Comparative and International Human Rights Law
Author: Juliane KokottPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004638288
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This book explores how courts decide, or ought to decide, in situations of uncertainty. A Court must always decide the case before it, even if the relevant facts remain unclear. The question then arises which party benefits and which party is burdened by that uncertainty. In these cases, the Court must apply the rules on the burden of proof or, more precisely, the burden of persuasion. Their importance for the individual claimant is obvious. The comparison of two domestic systems (one based on common law and the other a traditional code-based legal order) with regard to the issue of burden of proof helps to clarify the terminology and lays the ground for dealing with the burden of proof in international human rights law. Without knowing what can be understood by the term `burden of proof' under domestic law, international lawyers with different domestic law backgrounds are in danger of misunderstanding each other. This may lead to obscuring the problems connected with court decisions involving uncertainty. The study also deals with uncertainties with regard to legislative (general) in contrast to adjudicative (individual) facts and with uncertainties in the framework of predictions in contrast to uncertainties relating to historic facts. It attempts to prepare the ground for dealing more consciously and more consistently with problems of uncertainty in international human rights law. International courts, due to their geographical and cultural distance from the case, usually have less access to the underlying facts. Nevertheless, in order to protect human rights effectively, international courts and tribunals cannot always restrict themselves to reviewing the law, but may also have to decide on the facts. Thus issues relating to decision-making on the basis of uncertain facts, including the burden of persuasion, are even more important in international than in domestic human rights law.

The Margin of Appreciation Doctrine in the Dynamics of European Human Rights Jurisprudence

ISBN: 9004482261
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The Margin of Appreciation Doctrine in the Dynamics of European Human Rights Jurisprudence is the first full-length monograph to treat this subject, which is of central importance to the interpretation and application of the European Convention on Human Rights. It will enrich the understanding and appreciation of judges, advocates, civil servants, scholars, researchers, students, and indeed of anyone whose life and work is affected by national and international human rights adjudication. This thorough and learned analysis synthesizes the work of the Strasbourg judicial organs, proceeding in the light of the ongoing debates on the appropriate place of the margin doctrine in the Strasbourg jurisprudence. The author's rich conclusions add texture and perspective to the future judicial and scholarly dialogues which will no doubt continue to surround this subject matter. The text is eminently readable, written in a clear and precise style to be appreciated by the novice and specialist alike. The newcomer to human rights and to the Convention will find it an inviting introduction to complex material; the expert will gain new and expanded insights into the development of the case law rarely to be found in this breadth and depth.

The Guarantees for Accused Persons Under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights
Author: Stephanos StavrosPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004481869
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
In recent times Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to a fair trial has been increasingly raised by applicants who allege its breach in proceedings involving criminal or quasi-criminal charges. The extensive case law emanating from Strasburg that has thus been spawned has resulted in the formulation of detailed rules dictating the content of the guarantees afforded by Article 6. Indeed, a pan-European procedural standard for accused persons is beginning to emerge. This book is the first to make an in-depth analysis of the case law, and goes on to compare the European Convention cases with decisions which have arisen from the interpretation of other international instruments. The author's careful, meticulous research reveals that Article 6 has been interpreted in such a way that the standards required for proceedings designated under national law as criminal, are different than the standards applied to disciplinary and other administrative proceedings. The book goes on to attempt to identify the judicial policy pursued by the European Court and Commission when construing Article 6, while proposing a fresh approach to the problems raised by the applications of the detailed guarantees of the provisions in proceedings of a widely varied nature. Dr Stavros has been a member of the Athens Bar since 1987. He is currently employed as a legal expert by the Directorate of European Communities Affairs of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
International Courts and the Development of International Law
Author: Nerina BoschieroPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9067048941
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 948
Book Description
This book contains a collection of essays by leading experts linked to the outstanding characteristics of the scholar in honour of whom it is published, Tullio Treves, who combines his academic background with his practical experiences of a negotiator of international treaties and a judge of an international tribunal. It covers international public and private law related to international courts and the development of international law. Under Article 38 of its Statute, the International Court of Justice can apply judicial decisions only as a “subsidiary means for the determination of rules of law”. However, there are many reasons to believe that international courts and tribunals do play quite an important role in the progressive development of international law. There are a number of decisions which are inevitably recalled as the first step, or a decisive step, in the process of the formation of a new rule of customary international law. In these cases, can the judge be considered as a subsidiary of others? Are these cases compatible with the common belief that a judge cannot create law? Is this a peculiarity of international law, which is characterized by the existence of several courts but the lack of a legislator? Do decisions by different courts lead to the consequence of a fragmented international law? This volume provides the reader with an elaboration of various questions linked to the legislative role of courts. In their choices of subjects, some contributors have taken into account the general aspects of the development of international rules through court decisions or specific sectors of international law, such as human rights, international crimes, international economic law, environmental law and the law of the sea. Others have chosen the subject of the rules on jurisdiction and procedure of international courts. The question of the courts’ role in the development of areas of law different from public international law, namely private international law and European Union law, has also been considered. The information and views contained in this book will be of great value to academics, students, judges, practitioners and all others interested in the public and private international law aspects of the link between international courts and the development of international law.
