Mobilizing against neo-liberalism? Global affirmative action in context
This article uses the example of Northern Ireland to illustrate how political mobilization may be deployed to challenge structural forms of inequality. The experience suggests that regulatory models can be designed for particular contexts to shape approaches that present challenges to dominant economic and political orthodoxies. The intention is not to overstate the significance of this specific transitional context but simply to highlight elemen…
Applying an International Human Rights Framework to State Budget Allocations
Human rights based budget analysis projects have emerged at a time when the United Nations has asserted the indivisibility of all human rights and attention is increasingly focused on the role of non-judicial bodies in promoting and protecting human rights. This book seeks to develop the human rights framework for such budget analyses, by exploring the international law obligations of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Ri…
Time for Reform? Refugees, Asylum-seekers, and Protection Under International Human Rights Law
The aim of this article is to explore the protection that international human rights law offers to refugees, asylum-seekers, and the forcibly displaced. The ambition of the global rights framework is to guarantee a defined range of rights to all human beings, and thus move the basis for normative entitlement from exclusive reliance on national membership to a common humanity. This comprehensive and international perspective remains formally tied …
Context, institution or accountability? Exploring the factors that shape the performance of national human rights and equality bodies
The past two decades witnessed a global proliferation of national human rights and equality bodies. Yet the research literature remains critical of their performance, positing a series of explanations for the gap between the expectations of civil society and the contribution they make. Through a comparative analysis of six statutory human rights and equality bodies in the United Kingdom and Ireland, this article explores the range of factors that…
Contemporary Issues in Refugee Law
Refugee law is going through momentous times, as dictatorships tumble, revolutions simmer and the ‘Arab Awakening’ gives way to the spread of terror from Syria to the Sahel in Africa. This compilation of topical chapters, by some of the leading scholars in the field, covers major themes of rights, security, the UNHCR, international humanitarianism and state interests and sets out to map new contours
Human Rights and Public Finance
This edited collection addresses some of the most important challenges in contemporary human rights law and practice. Its central theme is the linkage between public finance, particularly budget decisions, and the realisation (or not) of economic and social rights. While much academic and political debate on economic and social rights implementation has focused on the role of the courts, this work places the spotlight squarely on those organs of …
The Right to Have Rights
‘Where now? Who now? When now?’1 The very phrase ‘human rights’ became for all concerned – victims, perpetrators, and onlookers alike – the evidence of hopeless idealism or fumbling feeble-minded hypocrisy.2 Hannah Arendt learned from experience just how hollow ‘humanity’ could sound. She experienced ‘statelessness’ and witnessed the consequences everywhere in her world, just as she knew how cruel and merciless organized political communities cou…
Contextualised Equality and the Politics of Legal Mobilisation
This article examines the development of affirmative action and equality policies targeted at the two main ethno-national communities in Northern Ireland, as an example of ‘contextualised equality’. The argument places particular weight on a politics of legal mobilisation. The article suggests that the ability to connect post-1998 reforms, in practical and symbolic ways, to overriding inter-communal narratives was often a determining factor in id…
Michelle Foster, International Refugee Law and Socio-Economic Rights
The aim of this impressive book is to reject a simplistic division between political and economic refugees and to promote a more coherent approach to international refugee law. The thesis advanced is that the position is a complex and subtle one, and that the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees can accommodate claims which have an ‘economic element’. Foster rightly highlights how often in practice a simplistic analysis is accepted …

Human Rights, Free Movement, and the Right to Leave in International Law
This article starts from a rights-based premise: freedom of movement is an established human right recognised in a range of international instruments. The right to leave one's own country is one aspect of this general concern with free movement. This article addresses the status of this right under international law, a right that is enshrined in several different international instruments and has attracted considerable attention. This article exp…
Human Rights in the Community
There has been a considerable focus in the last few years on the meaning of the Human Rights Act 1998 and its real and potential impact on judges and lawyers. Much has been written on the implications of the new legislation for a variety of areas of law. With the rising level of case-law the emphasis is now turning to the impact of the legislation on specific areas of social life. In this volume the focus is on the practice of human rights and ho…
The Frontiers of Legal Analysis
British constitutional legal discourse is structurally limited in its capacity to capture the complexity of the Good Friday Agreement. Rather than assessing the Agreement in narrow devolutionary terms, it should be seen as a hybrid domestic and international law instrument, making an important contribution to accepted international law norms in relation to self‐determination. The Agreement transforms and partly transcends the Northern Ireland con…
Securing Refugee Protection in a Cold Climate
The terrible events of September 11, 2001, in the U.S. continue to have an impact on the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers in a range of states. This is despite the fact that little evidence has been produced to demonstrate any link between international terrorism and refugee movements in, for example, Canada or the U.S. The suspicion is that governments have used events to justify the accelerated implementation of policies which were alre…
Human Rights, Equality and Democratic Renewal in Northern Ireland
Recent developments in Northern Ireland have correctly been described as historic. While the future of constitutional change is by no means certain,events merit close scrutiny. The Good Friday Agreement 1998 marked a significant departure from incrementalism and thus with the dominant logic of British constitutionalism. The Agreement is in essence a constitutional promise anchored in clear normative principles. Although several aspects of the Agr…

Refugees, Rights, and Human Security
This essay explores the connection between discourses of membership, and refugee and human rights law. The argument is that state practice is often anchored in conceptions of democracy that refugee advocates must challenge at a fundamental level. I am particularly interested in the idea of human security. In addition, it is suggested that although human rights law has an essential role to play, we should not neglect the importance of refugee law …

Talking about Refugee Law
This paper examines some recent critical debates in refugee law. The purpose is not to advance a single new approach. There are plenty of these around already. The concern of this paper is the more modest one of locating debates in refugee law in general controversies surrounding the nature of law and legality. By standing back from the debate the suggestion here is that the arguments can be placed in context as reflecting commitments which are o…

Governing after the Rights Revolution
In this paper I explore the relevance of neo‐republican thinking for current debates in constitutional law. In particular, I am interested in how deliberative forms of law and democracy might be grounded in real‐world institutional contexts. My thesis is that the neo‐republican model, underpinned as it is by the values of equality, participation, and accountability, has both explanatory and critical potential when exploring the voices, spaces, an…

Les auteurs prennent pour point de départ la constatation que les situations de violence et de conflit sur le territoire d'un État exigent très souvent la mise en œuvre de normes internationales d'origines différentes, notamment, d'une part, les règles internationales protégeant les droits de l'homme et d'autre part, le droit international humanitaire. Sur le plan de la doctrine, cependant, un fossé est encore trop souvent créé entre ces deux dom…

This article analyses the recent changes in asylum law and policy in the United Kingdom. The latest addition to the law is the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996, which continues trends established by the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993. As with a number of other EU Member States, the United Kingdom has turned its attention to the restructuring of its asylum processes in the last decade. This article explores the factors that have contribute…
