Gilles Giacca

Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in Armed Conflict

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In times of armed conflict the protection of human rights often slips down the list of a state's priorities. This is particularly the case for those rights concerned with people's economic, social, and cultural needs. This book studies how those rights are impacted by armed conflict, which derogations apply, and how they can be better protected.
