Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights
The scope of Artificial Intelligence's (AI) hold on modern life is only just beginning to be fully understood. Academics, professionals, policymakers, and legislators are analysing the effects of AI in the legal realm, notably in human rights work. Artificial Intelligence technologies and modern human rights have lived parallel lives for the last sixty years, and they continue to evolve with one another as both fields take shape. Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence explores the effects of AI on both the concept of human rights and on specific topics, including civil and political rights, privacy, non-discrimination, fair procedure, and asylum. Second- and third-generation human rights are also addressed. By mapping this relationship, the book clarifies the benefits and risks for human rights as new AI applications are designed and deployed. Its granular perspective makes Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence a seminal text on the legal ramifications of machine learning. This expansive volume will be useful to academics and professionals navigating the complex relationship between AI and human rights.
Robotics, AI and Criminal Law
This book offers a phenomenological perspective on the criminal law debate on robots. Today, robots are protected in some form by criminal law. A robot is a person’s property and is protected as property. This book presents the different rationale for protecting robots beyond the property justification based on the phenomenology of human-robot interactions. By focusing on robots that have bodies and act in the physical world in social contexts, the work provides an assessment of the issues that emerge from human interaction with robots, going beyond perspectives focused solely on artificial intelligence (AI). Here, a phenomenological approach does not replace ontological concerns, but complements them. The book addresses the following key areas: Regulation of robots and AI; Ethics of AI and robotics; and philosophy of criminal law. It will be of interest to researchers and academics working in the areas of Criminal Law, Technology and Law and Legal Philosophy.
Religious Hatred and International Law
This book conceptualizes the 'prohibition of advocacy of religious hatred' from the perspectives of international and comparative law.
Religious Speech, Hatred and LGBT Rights
"Imagine a religious leader who, during the weekly religious service, explains to the flock that members of the LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, plus other types of sexual orientation or gender identity) community are lesser beings, are sick people who need to be cured, or need to be punished, or some such verbal attack. Or, more subtly, imagine a religious believer publicly questioning equal rights for LGBT people in certain areas of public or private life, like equal marriage rights or equal access to certain service or jobs"--
State–Religion Relationships and Human Rights Law
This book examines the question of how the mode of state–religion identification affects the state’s scope for compliance with human rights law. It presents a human rights-based assessment of the various modes of state–religion identification and of the various forms of state practice that surround and characterize these different state–religion models. A close assessment of norms of human rights law substantiates that, although human rights law on the face of it is seemingly neutral to the issue of state–religion identification, legal principles can be extrapolated that have a profound bearing on the question of legitimacy of the possible diverse relationships that may exist betwe...

Corporate Religious Freedom and the Rights of Others
In pluralist societies, corporate religious freedom might confl ict with other fundamental rights. Corporate piety might collide with LGBT rights, notably when a company's management does not accept, either as em ployees or clients, individuals whom it believes to have 'sinful' sexual orientations. Secular companies may want to keep religion out of the workplace altogether, thus affecting individual religious freedom of employees. In this contribution, Jeroen Temperman engages with such expressions of corporate religion, addressing among other questions whether companies may indeed be deemed 'religious' under international human rights standards - hence whether companies can claim religious freedom - and if so, what the scope of such a freedom is, particularly when the rights of others are affected by such corporate manifestations of religion.
