לידתה של מהפכה : החזון והמאבקים שהולידו את זכויות היסוד של האדם בישראל by אוריאל לין הספר לידתה של מהפיכה מוביל את הקורא על פני 44 שנים בציר החזון והמאבקים ליצירת זכויות היסוד של הפרט בישראל מיום הקמת המדינה. היוזמות והמהלכים כולם מובאים מתוך עבודת הכנסת עצמה, במעקב אחר נפתולי החקיקה, כשלי השיטה הפוליטית הנוהגת בישראל והשפעתה על תוכני החקיקה עצמם. ברקע, תיאור ההתפתחויות ההיסטוריות והפוליטיות שהשפיעו על חקיקת מגילת זכויות היסוד של הפרט, ותוכנן של זכויות אלה; וכן ההתמודדות בין שני הגושים הפוליטיים הגדולים ו"תרגילי השלטון" בשנים 1990-1989, שהגיעו לשיאם במה שקרוי "התרגיל המסריח", אשר דרדר את הדמוקרטיה הישראלית לנקודת השפל הנמוכה ביותר מאז היוולדה, עד לאיבוד מוחלט של אמון העם וסכנה לעצם קיומה. לאחר נקודת שפל זו הוענקה לעם ישראל, לראשונה, מגילת זכויות האדם, זאת עקב נחישותם של המחבר ושל צוות מגובש בוועדת החוקה, חוק ומשפט בכנסת, שהביאו גם לשינויים משמעותיים בשיטה הפוליטית ושינו את יחסי הגומלין בין רשויות המדינה ומערכת המשפט כולה. "הספר מתאר כיצד בתוך המערכת הפוליטית עצמה, יוזמה של יחידים בעלי חזון, הממוקדים במטרה ומסוגלים לעבוד בצוות, יכולה לחולל שינויים מפליגים בתשתית תפקודה של המדינה.

The EU's Human Rights Responsibility Gap: Deconstructing Human Rights Impunity of International Organisations by Joyce De Coninck Can the EU be held legally responsible for its contributions to human rights harms in its Integrated Border Management policy? Or do systemic legal design flaws in the EU's human rights responsibility regime give rise to a significant responsibility gap? This book delves into these pressing questions, offering a transversal analysis of applicable legal frameworks under international and EU law. Divided into three parts, the book first analyses the international and EU human rights responsibility frameworks, revealing both 'normative incongruency' as well as 'liability incongruency'. Part two applies these frameworks to specific illustrations within the four tiers of the EU's Integrated Border Management, exposing the critical points where responsibility falters. Building on these findings and drawing from shared responsibility and relationality theories, part three briefly introduces 'Relational Human Rights Responsibility' as an alternative method to ascertaining human rights responsibility of the EU specifically, and international organisations more generally.

The Cambridge Handbook of the Right to Freedom of Thought by Patrick O'Callaghan; Bethany Shiner (Editors) The right to freedom of thought features prominently in debates about emerging technologies including neurotechnology and AI, but there is little understanding of its scope, content or application. This handbook presents the first attempt to set out how the right is protected, interpreted and applied globally. Eighteen jurisdictions are examined along with chapters describing context-setting, interdisciplinary approaches, and close analysis of the right in relation to specific challenges and conceptual difficulties. Readers familiar with the right will discover fresh perspectives and those new to the right will learn how it is part of the matrix of rights protecting autonomy, dignity, and privacy.

Expansionism in International Human Rights Law by Işıl Aral and Jean D'Aspremont This book explores a specific discursivity at work in international human rights law. It examines the ways in which the discourse on international human rights law constantly expands its domain while preserving its distinctiveness from general international law. It particularly exposes the oscillations between generalist and exceptionalist claims made in international human rights law for the sake of expanding its scope. Reviewing several contemporary controversies on international human rights law, it sheds lights on the possible drivers behind such expansionist discursivity.
