Comparative Human Rights Law: Detention, Prosecution, Capital Punishment: 2 (Comparative Law) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

These two volumes provide students with some understanding of the variety of approaches to human rights taken by a selection of the world s legal systems. By including cases from both the United States and the European human rights system, the books enables students to consider differences between legal systems deriving from a more or less common tradition. Japanese cases offer a view of the legal system of a developed, non-Western country, and Indian cases give an idea of the approach taken by a developing country with a legal system greatly influenced both by that of a former colonial power and by its own tradition. Each volume includes a brief introduction giving the student some understanding of the structures of the Japanese, European, and Indian systems. Volume One will be a useful element in any course aimed at acquainting students with the range of disagreement among different societies as to just what the idea of rights means in practice while Volume Two will be useful in any course aimed at getting students to examine the values a criminal justice system embodies.
