Neuware - Women's Human RightsThe International and Comparative Law Cas Elektronisches Buchusan Deller Ross'A definitive text on a topic both timely and timeless, Women's Human Rights is an indispensable resource for all who care about gender and justice in any part of the world.'--Madeleine K. Albright, former Secretary of State'Susan Deller Ross has provided us with an important addition to existing human rights law teaching materials with her casebook on women's human rights. The book brings the complex array of legal, political, social, and cultural issues involved in protecting women's human rights front and center for students and teachers of international law. The case book demonstrates that, because of their reach and their complexity, women's human rights deserve to be studied in and of themselves not just as one segment of an international human rights course. Providing a holistic picture of the status of women in international law, the casebook offers equal doses of the legal gains we are making and how far there still is to go.'--Human Rights QuarterlyAccording to Susan Deller Ross, many human rights advocates still do not see women's rights as human rights. Yet women in many countries suffer from laws, practices, customs, and cultural and religious norms that consign them to a deeply inferior status. Advocates might conceive of human rights as involving torture, extrajudicial killings, or cruel and degrading treatment--all clearly in violation of international human rights--and think those issues irrelevant to women. Yet is female genital mutilation, practiced on millions of young girls and even infants, not a gross violation of human rights When a family decides to murder a daughter in the name of 'honor,' is that not an extrajudicial killing When a husband rapes or savagely beats his wife, knowing the legal authorities will take no action on her behalf, is that not cruel and degrading treatment Susan Deller Ross is Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center and Founder and Director of the International Women's Human Rights Clinic at Georgetown. is an an online documentary supplement to Women's Human Rights: The International and Comparative Law Casebook.Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights2008 | 704 pages | 7 x 10ISBN 978-0-8122-2091-9 | Paper | $55.00s | £36.00 ISBN 978-0-8122-0002-7 | Elektronisches Buch | $55s | £36.00 World Rights | Law, Women's/Gender StudiesShort copy:Women's Human Rights studies the deprivation and violence women suffer due to discriminatory laws, religions, and customs and demonstrates how international human rights treaties can be used to develop new laws and court decisions that protect women against discrimination, subordination, and violence.
