Protecting the Individual from International Authority

Texte du rabat

This book shows how international organizations have a greater capacity to violate human rights, but also take on responsibility to avert such harm.

Résumé
This book examines institutional responses in international organizations (IOs) to human rights violations which arise from the actions of IOs rather than those of states. It shows under which conditions human rights provisions for IO practice arise.
