HUMAN RIGHTS AT WORK:
The monograph I am working on at the moment is provisionally entitled ‘Human rights at work’. I consider human rights as a practice, that is those that do something to and for their holders. I focus on fundamental human rights, limitations, exceptions, anti-abuse provisions, and derogations in time of emergency to lay out a definition of human rights as a practice. I then intervene into the scholarly debates on human rights with such a focus, and take a midway as regards those scholarly debates that argue whether human rights are minimum or maximum as a normative standard, moral or political in their nature, cultural or universal in their scope. I illustrate my arguments through a variety of human rights case laws, ranging from the domestic and international dimensions of violence, through abortion, religious clothing, and journalism in conflict zones, to emergencies and the containment of liberticidal groups.

Please email me, if you would like to get more details or would like to see any part of the project.
