The Green Transition will be just – Or it won't succeed
The European Commission defines the Green Transition as the transformation set out in the European Green Deal. Ensuring that this transition is just is both an ethical requirement and a practical condition for maintaining public support and policy effectiveness. This Perspective proposes a multidimensional framework for assessing justice in Green Transition policies, encompassing distributional, procedural, recognitional, corrective, and transiti…
Law, ethics, and the human right to science: Saying what we mean and meaning what we say
There is steadily increasing interest in the human right to science, stemming in part from interpretive guidance released in 2020 by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, a quasi-judicial UN body. Yet, how many ethics committees are using or even aware of this guidance or indeed the right itself? Similarly, how many science professionals' organizations know about the 2012 call by thethen UN expert on cultural rights encouraging t…
Implementing and monitoring the right to health in breast cancer: Selection of indicators using a Delphi process
We propose a set of indicators as a guide for health policy experts seeking to design national cancer plans that are based on a human rights-based approach to health, and for cancer specialists aiming to implement principles of the right to health in their practice. The 54 indicators selected may be used in High-Income Countries, or member states of the OECD who also have signed the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights t…
What’s Law got to do with Good Science
This short paper is one element of a longer piece titled What's Law got to do with Good Science? It is presented here along with the introduction to the longer piece. In the longer piece, Murphy's paper is joined by two others, one by Marie Fox, the other by Ilke Turkmendag. All three papers engage with Charis Thompson's book Good Science. The longer piece concludes with a response by Thompson
The United Nations Special Procedures
This chapter examines the UN Special Procedures, a system of independent experts appointed to monitor and report on human rights violations and to advise and assist in promoting and protecting rights. It positions the Special Procedures as a “missing population,” neglected not just by proponents of global health but by human rights advocates too. This chapter sets out to counter this neglect by “peopling” human rights law. It does this by adding …
The United Nations Special Procedures System
The United Nations Special Procedures system is a key element of the evolving international framework for human rights protection and promotion. However, despite the system’s expansion, the range of roles and functions performed by mandate holders, and the mounting evidence of its strengths and limitations, there has been very little academic interrogation or analysis of Special Procedures. This lacuna is ever-more problematic given the growing p…
Works in Progress: New Technologies and the European Court of Human Rights
A field—new technologies and human rights or, more broadly, law and technology—is in the process of being framed. Should the European Court of Human Rights be seen as part of that process? To find out, we searched the Court’s case-law using HUDOC, a database on the Council of Europe website which contains both judgments and admissibility decisions. We entered 155 keywords, all in English, and in this article we report and analyse what we found. T…
Risk and Human Rights in UK Prison Governance
Risk and human rights discourses dominate the landscape of prison governance in the United Kingdom. For the most part, however, criminologists have focused only on concepts of risk and lawyers on human rights; there has been little overlap in the scholarship of these disciplines. In this article, we problematize this separation. We argue for a new stream of academic enquiry which recognizes the co-existence of different types of risk and rights d…
The Question of Evil and Feminist Legal Scholarship
What is a Fair Trial? Rape Prosecutions, Disclosure and the Human Rights Act
Crowning Glory: Public Law, Power and the Monarchy
‘New public law’ has a keen interest in the deployment of power and the shifting nature of the public and private. In this article, we argue that the historical legacy of the Crown has hindered the ability of public lawyers to respond to changes in modes of governance in the UK. The constitutional law textbook tradition has played a key role in limiting critiques of the Crown because of the obfuscation that surrounds the legal and political statu…
