World Justice?: U.S. Courts And International Human Rights

By Mark Gibney

Book Overview

If international courts deny hearings to individuals who cannot obtain the sponsorship of their own government, these plaintiffs are finding US courts increasingly willing to hear their cases. This book considers the implications of this extension of the jurisdiction of US courts, the problem of enforcing a court's decision and the consensus on the primacy of human rights over the sovereign rights of states.
