International law and human rights are expansive and intricate disciplines that comprise a vast array of organisations, principles, as well as treaties. The rules and guidelines that control interactions between governments and other international players are known as international law. The goal is to bring forth more international harmony, collaboration, and order. It is important to note that treaties, customary law, basic principles of law, and the rulings of international tribunals as well as courts are fundamental components of international law.
Human rights encompass fundamental liberties and rights that are indispensable for all persons, irrespective of nationality, ethnic origin, gender, religious affiliation, or any other distinguishing characteristic. The notion of human rights finds its foundation in a multitude of international instruments, among which the UN General Assembly ratified the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948.
The fundamental international human rights treaties, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, are all thoroughly examined in this book. There exists a plethora of resources that accommodate various preferences and various levels of expertise, including philosophical discourse, historical analysis, and practical exploration of the present condition of international human rights law.
