Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Human rights values refashioned : liberty, equality, and solidarity -- The nature of the state : democracy, globalization, and privatization -- The structure of positive duties -- Justiciability and the role of courts -- Restructuring the courts : public interest litigation in the Indian courts -- Achieving compliance : positive duties beyond the courts -- Equality -- Socio-economic rights and positive duties.
"Human rights have traditionally been understood as protecting individual freedom against intrusion by the State. In this book, Sandra Fredman argues that this understanding requires radical revision. Human rights are based on a far richer view of freedom, which goes beyond being let alone, and instead pays attention to individuals' ability to exercise their rights." "Drawing on comparative experience from India, South Africa, the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Union, Canada and the UK, this book aims to create a theoretical and applied framework for understanding positive human rights duties."--BOOK JACKET.
