New Book: "The Limits of Positive Obligations in Human Rights Law. From Protection to Coercion" edited by Vladislava Stoyanova and David McGrogan

The Limits of Positive Obligations in Human Rights Law  

From Protection to Coercion

Edited by Vladislava Stoyanova and David McGrogan

This open access book is a crucial intervention in the debate concerning positive human rights obligations.

The volume assembles the work of a range of leading scholars in international human rights law to fill gaps in the literature. Each of its 11 substantive chapters addresses an aspect of positive obligations with a particular focus on issues concerning limits. Taken together, they provide the first serious attempt to grapple critically with the subject of the limits, causality and scope of positive obligations theoretically and doctrinally. This makes the book essential reading for scholars of human rights law.
