from Part I - Foundations of International Human Rights Law
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 April 2025
This title examines the concept of normative pluralism in international human rights law, focusing on the coexistence and interaction of multiple legal systems and norms within the global human rights framework. It explores the treaty-based structure of human rights norms, including various international and regional human rights treaties, and discusses the role of customary international law, general principles of law, and jus cogens in shaping human rights obligations. The section also addresses the impact of nonconventional sources of human rights law, such as judicial decisions and soft law instruments, on the development and enforcement of human rights standards. By analyzing the complexities of normative pluralism, this title highlights the dynamic and evolving nature of international human rights law and the challenges in achieving coherence and consistency across different legal systems and cultures. It also emphasizes the importance of dialogue and cooperation among international, regional, and national actors in promoting and protecting human rights globally.
