National Human Rights Institutions in Europe

Description

Over the past twenty years, National Human Rights Institutions NHRIs have moved from the periphery to the centre of the human rights debate. The potential of NHRIs to transmit and implement international norms at the domestic level, and to transfer human rights expertise to regional and global human rights fora, is increasingly recognised. This book focuses on the functioning and role of NHRIs in Europe in a comparative, European and international perspective.br
