Human Rights: Footprints in Law (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789994980048)

Human rights specific laws sounds like an obscure topic in these times considering the existence of numerous codified laws, catering to each and every aspect of human life. One tends to wonder what need could one have to turn to the concept of human rights? One of the notions regarding human rights is that it is not of much value any longer in the law making perspective, especially since most nations have codified human rights as well, such as Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution.
The work in your hands now is the antithesis to this notion, as the book forwards the belief that human rights is and must remain at the root of all laws codified for humankind.
The author is of the opinion that while the study of the legal field is divided into distinct subjects, a common theme present across these subjects is human rights. From constitutional law to corporate law, elements of human rights are found throughout.
All the seven articles contained in this work illustrate this point, despite the fact that they relate to diverse fields including constitutional law, family law, corporate law, administrative law, tribal law and land law, making the book unique in the sense that even while not being restricted to a single legal subject, the focus is on how human rights is embedded in the very spirit of these vastly different laws.
The book does not only cater to students and teachers of human rights law, but to anyone with an interest in the area. The book will also prove worthwhile to anyone struggling to grasp the importance of the concept of human rights.
