The EU as a 'Global Player' in Human Rights?

Book Overview

Following on from the 2008 Kadi-decision by the European Court of Justice, which has been widely discussed as possibly creating a conflict between the UN and the EU, this book explores whether the EU's human rights order has real and distinctive relevance on a global scale and whether it can be considered as a significant international human rights organisation. The contributions to this volume are clustered around four themes: the EU human rights policies in international institutions; the influence of EU human rights law outside of Europe; whether the EU human rights order has set new substantive rules which are different from other international/regional standards; and the relationship between human rights and economic goals in the EU.
