Human Rights and the Private Sphere vol 3: A Comparative Study

This book is a companion volume to Human Rights and the Private Sphere: A Comparative Study Volumes 1 and 2, which examined the impact of human rights on private relationships in various democratic jurisdictions. It looks at several important jurisdictions in self-contained chapters that describe the broader constitutional background of each system, the relevant national human rights regime, the influence of international human rights instruments, the judicial enforcement of human rights, and the effect of human rights thinking in the private sphere. It also addresses specific questions such as the influence of religion, whether human rights protection can affect private relationships in authoritarian public law environments, whether local systems of customary law fulfill similar functions as modern constitutional guarantees, and how private sphere protection develops in systems experiencing rapid constitutional changes and a fundamental shift in their underlying societal paradigm.
