| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. International human rights law refers to the body of International Law designed to promote & protect human rights at the international, regional and domestic levels. As a form of international law, international human rights law is primarily made up of treaties, agreements between states intended to have binding legal effect between the parties that have agreed to them; and customary international law, rules of law derived from the consistent conduct of states acting out of the belief that the law required them to act that way. Enforcement of International Human Rights Law can occur on a domestic, regional or international Level. States that ratify human rights treaties commit themselves to respecting those rights and ensuring that their domestic law is compatible with international legislation. This book studies international human rights law including convention on the prevention and punishment of crime of genocide, convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, convention on the rights of the child, African charter on human and people's rights, and European social charter.
