Women's Property Rights Under CEDAW
For over 40 years, the leading international treaty body on women's rights, the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (the CEDAW Committee), has been generating jurisprudence interpreting CEDAW's obligations that states protect the equal rights of women. This book concludes that CEDAW's re-engendering of property--although a flawed and evolving work in progress--has the potential to be transformative for the half of the planet who is more likely to be treated as property than to have any.
Reframing Human Rights in a Turbulent Era
In recent years, human rights have come under fire, with the rise of political illiberalism and the coming to power of populist authoritarian leaders in many parts of the world who contest and dismiss the idea of human rights. More surprisingly, scholars and public intellectuals, from both the progressive and the conservative side of the political spectrum, have also been deeply critical, dismissing human rights as flawed, inadequate, hegemonic, or overreaching. While acknowledging some of the shortcomings, this book presents an experimentalist account of international human rights law and practice and argues that the human rights movement remains a powerful and appealing one with widespread...
Hanging in the Balance
This book gives the first in-depth assessment of how justification functions when women are claiming their right to equality. How can courts assess whether a proposed limit to women's equality is constitutionally justified? This question is rarely explicitly asked, with the assumption that well-established limitation frameworks, such as proportionality, are able to assess whether limits to women's rights are justified. However, delving into the theory and practice of justification reveals fracture points between the dominant approach to justification and women's rights to equality. One of its distinctive characteristics is the question of whether any analytical entwining or unwinding of equality and justification enhances the protection of women's rights to equality in constitutional democracies. It proposes a novel asymmetric relationship between equality and justification that requires innovative methodological approaches that enrich the task of adjudicating limits to women's equality. This is an intriguing, articulate and compelling examination of a question with real and applied significance to all those working on human rights and equality.
Los derechos bajo ataque
Propagación de gobiernos autoritarios y antiliberales, guerras y amenaza nuclear, cambio climático, economías desiguales y cuestionamientos a la democracia: en este contexto de turbulencias, ¿a quién le interesan los derechos humanos? ¿Las viejas estrategias de lucha siguen siendo efectivas para defenderlos en las calles y en los tribunales? En este libro original, que refleja décadas de experiencia en la discusión conceptual, el análisis de casos y la voluntad de intervención política, Gráinne de Búrca parte de una constatación desafiante: en nuestros días, el movimiento de derechos humanos –en el sentido amplio de los derechos vinculados con el género, la infancia, la sal...

Women's Property Rights Under CEDAW
"The gender gap with respect to wealth and property is a chasm.

This book surveys and assesses the CEDAW Commi...

Using frameworks from contemporary philosophy and critical finance studies, the book explores how contemporary cinema has registered recent financial and economic issues. The book focuses on how filmmakers have found formal means to explore, celebrate, and critique the increasingly important role that the financial sector plays in shaping global economic, political, ethical, and social life.
