Сипаттама

This book endorses the importance of human rights within any democratic system of government, but questions whether the primary responsibility for the articulation of these rights ought to be taken away from the normal political processes of representative government; it also considers the constitutional implications of doing so. Specifically, the extensive shift of political authority to the judiciary which is involved in the British Human Rights Act is critically examined and other ways of specifying and promoting human rights in more democratic forums are considered. Particular attention is paid to the priority which should be given to economic and social rights within the new constitutional settlement. Overseas contributions, ranging from Eastern Europe to South Africa, via North America and Australasia, illustrate the pitfalls of importing other constitutional models.
