About This Publication

Materials on International Human Rights and U.S. Constitutional Law demonstrates the evolution of international norms from broad, aspirational statements to much more precise definitions of rights comparable in many instances to those guaranteed under U.S. laws and the Constitution. The book seeks to give some substantive content to the term "international human rights law" through a comparison of international and domestic jurisprudence in the context of several important areas of constitutional law. While it does not pretend to be comprehensive, it is designed to stimulate intellectual and practical interest in "rights" broadly defined, to the mutual benefit of both constitutional and international lawyers and — most importantly — of the individuals on whose behalf such "rights" are invoked.
