We live in an era of proliferating international legal domains and
institutions, not least in the human rights field. For some, normative
pluralism within human rights is inevitable, and even desirable. Others
view it as a threat to the integrity and coherence of international
human rights protection. How far do human rights standards and their
interpretation by different regional and international human rights
systems diverge? To what extent do human rights bodies ‘borrow’ from or
influence each other in respect of their case law, practices and
procedures? Is global human rights protection fragmenting or heading
towards greater coherence? This edited collection addresses these
questions through the insights of leading scholars and jurists with
first-hand experience of human rights adjudication and litigation.
