The jurisprudence of human rights law

"This volume brings together nine qualified human rights experts into a novel undertaking. Through examining topics like the death penalty, indigenous land rights, euthanasia and assisted suicide, non-discrimination in the field of social security, Holocaust denial and freedom of expression, and confidentiality in the context of HIV/AIDS, this book aims not only at contributing through scholarly essays to the debate on these issues but even more to the methodology of comparative analysis in the field of human rights." --Book Jacket.
