Legislative Remedies before Human Rights Courts

This book explores the remedial orders of human rights courts that demand from states the reform of domestic laws. This is the first comprehensive study of legislative remedies; comparatively analysing and normatively assessing the practice of the three regional human rights courts in this regard. It will inquire whether legislative remedies are a particularity of human rights adjudication, as well as when and how they are used and the consequences of this use. The book will also show that the use of legislative remedies reflects to a great extent the self-understanding of each human rights court, as well as the context in which they operate and their evolving role in the respective regions.
