It explains that hostage-taking has increased at an alarming rate in recent years and has become a problem of worldwide concern. More importantly, this book focuses on the escalating violence against hostages and presents how the human cost of hostage-taking has triggered various international responses. By evaluating various international law concepts and frameworks, including jurisdiction in international law, state responsibility and international human rights law, it explains why we are still far from recognizing hostages as victims of human rights violations before unpacking the question of what can be done to safeguard the human rights of hostages both in theory and practice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hostages $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Piracy $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a International law and human rights. 650 7 $a Hostages $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00961634 650 7 $a International law and human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01894145 650 7 $a Piracy $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01910030 650 7 $a Terrorism $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765505 776 08 $i Online version: $a Galani, Sofia. $t Hostages and human rights $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020 $z 9781108667029 $w (DLC) 2020023788 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1C907D4FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
