Zusammenfassung
Regionale Menschenrechtsmechanismen decken mittlerweile – mit der bemerkenswerten Ausnahme Australiens – fast alle fünf Kontinente ab.
In diesem Band stellen fünf ExpertInnen aus verschiedenen Kontinenten regionale Menschenrechtsschutzsysteme in Europa, Afrika, Asien, Lateinamerika und Australien vor, wobei sie einen Überblick über die regionalen Schutzsysteme im Vergleich zu den internationalen geben und diese in einen länderspezifischen Kontext stellen. Eine wichtige Rolle spielen hierbei zusätzliche Schutzmechanismen wie Kommissionen und Gerichten, die regionale Menschenrechtsdokumente durchsetzen.
Abstract
Regional human rights mechanism are now in place covering nearly all five continents with the notable exception of Australia.
Regional and international human rights protection are not meant to thwart each other. On the contrary, the regional protection of human rights is intended to back up and strengthen the international one by translating human rights into local languages and supporting them with additional protective mechanisms like commissions and courts that enforce regional human rights documents.
In this volume, five experts from various continents will introduce regional human rights protection systems in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Australia providing an overview of the regional protections vis-à-vis the international one and then contextualising it in specific country context.
