Research Handbook on Accountability for Human Rights Violations

This thought-provoking Research Handbook explores accountability for human rights violations in terms of international law from a rich spectrum of angles. A conceptual angle, investigating the broader understanding of ‘accountability’, is followed by explorations of the who (can be held accountable), for (the violation of) what (rights), how (following what supervisory mechanisms) and to what extent (leading to what remedies). The volume brings together experts on this topic from many different backgrounds, and offers both inspiration and practical guidance.
