Detalii Casting the Net Wider: Human Rights, Development and New Duty-Bearers
Casting the Net Wider: Human Rights, Development and New Duty-Bearers brings together scholars and practitioners to address the question as to whether, in our globalised world, the protection of economic, social and cultural rights in the South has or should become the duty of actors beyond the state. It explores the role of actors such as transnational business, international financial institutions, supranational organisations and influential states who are involved in or impact on human rights in developing countries.
In adopting a ‘responsibilities approach’, it seeks to clarify the nature, content and scope of their contemporary duties. The book is important from an academic as well as a social perspective. First, it pushes the boundaries of legal theory by extending the onus for realising human rightsfrom developing or ‘recipient’ states to a range of international actors – industrialised states, donor states and non-state actors. It also reminds scholars from various disciplines, in particular international trade, finance and development economics, that there are important reasons for taking human rights into account in their policy analyses. It develops a moral argument too: that the changing global environment, in particular structural poverty and inequality, ought to lead to a shift in the consideration as to what entities might legitimately constitute human rights duty-bearers. This key relationship between the domestic state as the traditional human rights duty-bearer and any number of external actors highlights the centrality of transnational duties that constitutes the raison d`être of this edited collection.
