This text seeks to guide civil rights lawyers, judges, legislators and academics, in the effective use of international law in US federal and state cases. Areas covered include: the death penalty; lethal force by police authorities; gay rights, and compensation for unintentional false imprisonment.
This book guides civil rights lawyers-and informs judges, legislators, and academics-in the effective use of international law in U.S. federal and state cases.
The author highlights many concrete areas in which international law can enhance human rights protection both in the U.S. and abroad, such as:
• Death penalty
• Lethal force by police and military authorities
• Extraterritorial privacy protection
• Gay and lesbian rights
• Government liability for foreseeable harm
• Compensation for unintentional false imprisonment.
This eminently practical approach-based on model briefs developed for and used by leading U.S. civil rights lawyers and organizations-presents an extremely rare treatment of international human rights law.
Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
