Participation and Democratic Innovation under International Human Rights Law Taylor & Francis Ltd

This book explores the human rights principle of participation and the human right to participation. The work presents the argument that international human rights law imposes obligations to enable participation, and demonstrates that it has been interpreted in this way by authoritative bodies. While there have been several studies of specific forms of participation, such as collective bargaining, this study provides a coherent account of the meaning and application of participation in international human rights law as a whole. It will be an invaluable resource for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the area of international human rights law.
