Abstract

After exploring the most salient political and institutional issues facing international human rights courts and bodies, this column reviews some of their key procedural developments in 2019, focusing on four specific aspects: the coordination and (dis-)harmony between the multiple mechanisms; the more or less extensive scope of their jurisdiction; the parties’ potential instrumentalization of the proceedings; and States’ compliance with the international decisions.

In: The Law & Practice of International Courts and Tribunals
Despite global undertakings to safeguard the full enjoyment of human rights, culture, traditional practices and religion are widely used to discriminate against women. In this volume 17 scholars approach women’s human rights globally, regionally and nationally, combining the perspectives of public and private international law in a hitherto unique manner. Comprehensive legal, culture-based and theoretical overviews are combined with analyses of topical issues, such as unbalanced sex-ratios, intercountry adoption, women as refugees or as “surrogate mothers”, violence against women and cross-border enforcement of protection orders.

Si les droits de l’Homme font l’objet d’un grand nombre d’instruments conventionnels universels et régionaux, leur effectivité et leur efficacité ne
sont pas encore acquises comme l’illustre ce volume consacré à la question de la discrimination. A travers des chapitres qui mêlent des approches de droit privé et de droit public, des considérations juridiques, politiques, religieuses, économiques et sociales et qui offrent une analyse globale de certaines thématiques liées à la discrimination fondée sur le genre, l’ambition de cet ouvrage est de souligner les visages divers qu’elle revêt ainsi que les solutions juridiques plus ou moins efficaces qui ont été mises en place par les Etats, les organisations internationales et la société civile pour y remédier.
