This transformation has had a significant impact on the practice of trade law, financial regulation, and environmental law but relatively little effect on one area of law and regulation: human rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniversal Human Rights and Extraterritorial Obligations\u003c\/i\u003e examines both the international and domestic foundations of human rights law. What other contemporary human rights debates have almost totally ignored is that in an increasingly interdependent world--where public and private international actors have great influence on the lives of individuals everywhere--it is insufficient to assess only the record of domestic governments in human rights. It is equally important to assess the effect of actions taken by intergovernmental organizations, international private entities, and foreign states. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom this standpoint, contributors to this book address how states' actions or omissions may affect the prospects of individuals in foreign states and asks important questions: To what extent do agricultural policies of rich countries influence the right to food in poorer countries? How do decisions to screen asylum seekers outside state borders affect refugee rights? How does cooperation among different states in the war on terror influence individuals' rights to be free from torture? This volume presents a brief for a more complex and updated approach to the protection of human rights worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Gibney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812242157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812242157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Mark Gibney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013793493247,"sku":"9780812242157","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd94c884-f1bf-4d46-bb47-d762be26822c.jpg?v=1767744806","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/universal-human-rights-and-extraterritorial-mark-gibney-9780812242157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
