  • More about The Role of Fraternity in Law: A Comparative Legal Approach


This collection explores the concept of fraternity and its potential legal relevance in a globalized and conflict-ridden world. It examines how fraternity has been addressed in national constitutional charters, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and other legal contexts. The book aims to reimagine fraternity to address the aim and force of law within a plurality of cultures and seeks to establish a dialogue between different legal systems and traditions.

Since the conclusion of World War II, fraternity has been referenced in various national constitutional charters, in addition to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, the question remains: Can fraternity find a place within the realm of law? The contributions to this book serve as a remarkable "bridge" between the past and present, tracing the diverse pathways taken to comprehend the essence of fraternity and exploring its potential legal relevance. The book presents a comprehensive exploration of the legal contexts in which fraternity has been situated, particularly in the age of globalization and conflict, where the multiplicity of national and supranational legal sources appears inadequate to govern the complexity and coexistence of irreconcilable diversities. The objective is not to revive fraternity as a forgotten principle but rather to reimagine it for contemporary times, in order to address the aims and forces of law within a pluralistic world.

The analysis delves into a possible universal dimension that fosters unity amidst diversity, aiming to serve as a precursor to a transformative shift from research to dialogue between different legal systems and traditions.

This book will hold significant appeal to academics and researchers engaged in the fields of Comparative Law, Legal History, and Legal Philosophy.
