The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations
Abstract:
The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations brings international scholarship on transnational human rights obligations into a comprehensive and wide-ranging volume. Each chapter combines a thorough analysis of a particular issue area and provides a forward-looking perspective of how extraterritorial human rights obligations (ETOs) might come to be more fully recognized, outlining shortcomings but also best state practices.
It builds insights gained from state practice to identify gaps in the literature and points to future avenues of inquiry.
The Handbook is organized into seven thematic parts: conceptualization and theoretical foundations; enforcement; migration and refugee protection; financial assistance and sanctions; finance, investment and trade; peace and security; and environment.
Chapters summarize the cutting edge of current knowledge on key topics as leading experts critically reflect on ETOs, and, where appropriate, engage with the Maastricht Principles to critically evaluate their value 10 years after their adoption.
The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations is an authoritative and essential reference text for scholars and students of human rights and human rights law, and more broadly, of international law and international relations as well as to those working in international economic law, development studies, peace and conflict studies, environmental law and migration.
Book Launch event:
On 11 February 2022, the Routledge Research Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations was launched at an event in collaboration with the ETO Consortium. During its two initial years, the SRN focused on the preparation of an authoritative publication on ETOs, the Routledge Research Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations. Members of the Law and Development Research Group of the University of Antwerp and the Centre for Human Rights Erlangen-Nürnberg, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg as well as the Department of Political Science, University of North Carolina Asheville were part of the editorial team, and members of all SRN partners have contributed one or more chapters to the handbook.
