Legislated Rights

Discover the insightful work of Grégoire Webber in Legislated Rights, published by Cambridge University Press in 2019. This compelling book delves into the crucial role of legislatures in securing human rights through well-defined legislation that outlines both rights and duties. With 221 pages of thought-provoking analysis, Webber challenges the prevailing theories that assign the primary responsibility for human rights protection solely to the courts. He argues that legislatures possess unique institutional capacities that enable them to offer modes of protection that courts are unable to provide.
