The prevention of gross human rights violations under international human rights law / Nienke van der Have

By: Have, Nienke van der‏Publication details: The Hague : Asser , [2018] Description: XII, 260 p. ; 24 cmISBN: 9789462652309Subject(s): Derechos humanosAbstract: This book contains a systematic assessment of the content and scope of obligations to prevent gross human rights violations. There has been a great deal of attention for concepts aiming to prevent gross human rights violations, such as conflict prevention and the responsibility to protect. Yet despite this shift in attention towards prevention, it has remained unclear what legal obligations states have to prevent gross human rights violations under international human rights law. The focus in this book is on three specific types of injury prohibited under international human rights law: torture, arbitrary death and genocide. Further distinctions are made between four temporal phases (long-term prevention, short-term prevention, preventing continuation, preventing recurrence) and territorial and extraterritorial obligations.
