Description
Starting point of the research is the finding that both rights holders and duty bearers under human rights norms are confronted simultaneously with a multitude of human rights provisions differing as to their scope, focus, legal force and level of governance. This non-hierarchical accumulation of human rights provisions has resulted in a complex and uncoordinated legal architecture that may in some circumstances create obstacles for effective human rights protection. The central research objective of the HRI Research Network (01/10/12 - 30/09/17) is the study of human rights law as an integrated whole from a users’ perspective.
