The tradition of civil litigation in a new age of international law: International perspectives on the domestic enforcement of human rights

The enforcement of norms of international human rights law (11-IRL) and the provision of an effective and appropriate remedy for those who have had human rights abuses visited upon them represents one of the greatest contemporary challenges within international and domestic legal systems. In recent years a regime of domestic civil liability has emerged, largely within the United States, as an alternative means to enforce HR. against offending individuals, governments and organisations. A particular feature of this regime has been the attribution of liability to non-state actors for human rights abuses. This article will examine these developments and chart the various advantages and disadvantages that civil litigation mechanisms represent for the enforcement of IHRL and victims of human rights abuses. The utility of this regime to remedy breaches of IHRL during and as a result of crisis situations and armed conflict will also be discussed. While focussing chiefly on the United States as the main source of domestic IHRL litigation jurisprudence, other systems of civil dispute resolution will also be examined.

Durante estos últimos años ha surgido un régimen de responsabilidad civil nacional, principalmente en EEUU, como un medio alternativo de hacer respetar el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos ante las personas, gobiernos y organizaciones que lo infringen. Una característica particular de este régimen ha sido la de atribuir la responsabilidad de la violación de los derechos humanos a los agentes no gubernamentales. En este artículo, examinaremos estos acontecimientos y esbozaremos las diversas ventajas y desventajas que conllevan los mecanismos de litigio civil para la aplicación del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos y para las víctimas de los abusos de los derechos humanos. Asimismo, analizaremos la utilidad de dicho régimen para reparar las violaciones del DIDH durante el transcurso y como consecuencia de situaciones de crisis y de conflicto armado. Aunque nos centraremos principalmente en los Estados Unidos como fuente principal de jurisprudencia nacional para solventar litigios relativos al derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, también abordaremos otros sistemas de conflicto civil.Universidad de Deusto = Deustuko Unibertsitatea: Instituto de Derechos Humanos Pedro Arrupe2012text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4132325(Revista) ISSN 1885-298XAnuario de acción humanitaria y derechos humanos = Yearbook of humanitarian action and human rights, ISSN 1885-298X, Nº. 10, 2012, pags. 55-70engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
