Sanchez tackles a central tension in global governance: how international human rights courts balance their mandates with the imperative to respect national sovereignty. \u003c\/b\u003eDespite having similar mandates, the world's three regional human rights courts--the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights--interpret their authority differently, leading to uneven regional enforcement of global human rights principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaria A. Sanchez traces how the geopolitical dynamics of each court's founding moments have manifested in contemporary disparities across the courts' jurisprudences--focusing on disputes involving freedom of expression, personal integrity rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. Her findings expose a paradox: the courts that were founded in the most inhospitable environments for human rights have ended up asserting the most expansive authority over governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeeply researched and insightful, \u003ci\u003e Deference and Divergence in Regional Human Rights Courts\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to when and how international institutions can leverage authority to intervene in domestic affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria A.
