  • Rewarding in International Human Rights Law

    Open AccessSiobhán McInerney-LankfordARTICLEAJIL Unbound2021

    Compliance in international law remains a challenge and the search to understand whether and why states comply with international human rights law endures as well. This essay endorses van Aaken and Simsek's contention that rewarding is an important yet underexplored mechanism for ensuring compliance with international law, but suggests that certain features of international human rights law may make rewarding less apposite in the human rights sph…

    The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have generated tremendous discussion in global policy and academic circles. On the one hand, they have been hailed as the most important initiative ever in international development. On the other hand, they have been described as a great betrayal of human rights and universal values that has contributed to a depoliticization of development.

  • Human Rights Indicators in Development

    Siobhán McInerney-Lankford, Siobhán Alice McInerney-Lankford et al.BOOKHuman rights indicators in…2010

    Human rights indicators are central to the application of human rights standards in context and relate essentially to measuring human rights realization, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

  • Human Rights and Development

    Siobhán McInerney-LankfordARTICLEJournal of Human Rights Practice2009Cited by: 3References: 4

    Human rights and development continue to reflect a separate evolution. This article explores challenges which characterize the relationship between human rights and development from a legal perspective suggesting reasons why the tensions and dis-connects endure. It makes an obvious, but nevertheless underappreciated point: human rights are the subject of binding international legal obligations and their rel-evance to development can be understood…

    The relationship between human rights and development endures as a subject of lively academic debate and critical comment. In this piece, the author offers some institutionally based perspectives on the nature of that relationship, which take as their starting point the principles and obligations of international human rights law. The article begins by examining the intersection of human rights and development at three distinct but interrelated l…

  • Human Rights and Equitable Development

    Klaus Decker, Siobhán McInerney-Lankford et al.BOOK2005

    This paper outlines areas of human rights law relevant to development and introduces perspectives on the nature of the relationship between the two fields. While it is clear that some progress has been made towards integrating human rights and development, it is clear that the two discourses remain distinct, and attempts to find commonalities and convergence between them face numerous issues in practice. A key question for both human rights advoc…

    The evolution of the right to water can be traced to the developments of the early 1970s.

The Study then discusses the evolution of the international legal regime for the protection and promotion of human rights, and pays particular attention to …
