Part of the Ius Comparatum - Global Studies in Comparative Law series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book focuses on anti-discrimination law in order to identify commonalities and best practices across nations.
Almost every nation in the world embraces the principle of equality and non-discrimination, in theory if not in practice.
As the authors' expert contributions establish, the sources of the principle vary considerably, from international treaties to religious law, traditions and more.
There are many approaches to methods of enforcement and other variables, but the principle is nearly universal.
What does a comparison of the laws and approaches across different lands reveal? Readers may explore the enforcement and effectiveness of anti-discrimination law from 25 nations, across six continents.
Esteemed authors examine national, regional and international systems looking for common and best practices, identifying innovative approaches to long-standing problems.
The many ways that anti-discrimination law is enforced are brought to light, from criminal or civil prosecution through to community resolution processes, amongst others.
Through comparing the approaches of different lands, the authors consider which methods of enforcement are effective. These enriching national and international perspectives highlight the need for more creative, concrete and coordinated means of enforcement to ensure the effectiveness of anti-discrimination law, regardless of the legal tradition concerned, but in light of these traditions.
Readers will find each nation remarkable, and learn something new and interesting from each report.
