Challenges for Human Rights

by Fernando Falcon Y Tella

Falcón y Tella (law and legal philosophy, U. Complutense de Madrid) describes the recent movement to recognize that individuals as well as states are subject to international law, and the impact of that on humanitarian law and international criminal law. Among other issues, he examines the International Criminal Court, which protects individual victims by punishing individual human rights offenders.
