The emergence of that idea has been one of the most significant international developments since the Second World War. But it is one thing to embrace something as an aspirational ideal and quite another to recognize it as enforceable law. The continued development of the international human rights regime brings a pressing question to the fore: What role should international human rights have as law within the American legal system? The U.S. Supreme Court and the Domestic Force of International Human Rights Law examines this question through the prism of the U.S. Supreme Court’s handling of controversies bearing most closely on it. It shows that the specific disputes the Court has addressed can be best understood by recognizing how each interconnects with an overarching debate over the proper role to be accorded international human rights law within American institutions. By approaching the subject from the justices’ standpoint, this book reveals a divide in the Court between two fundamentally different orientations toward the domestic impact of the international human rights regime." -- Publisher's website 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79006848 610 17 $a United States. $b Supreme Court. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529481 650 0 $a Human rights $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105886 650 0 $a Civil rights $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85026377 650 0 $a Human rights. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85026379 650 0 $a International and municipal law $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008124001 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a International and municipal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976759 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Simon, Stephen A., 1966- author. $t U.S. Supreme Court and the domestic force of international human rights law $d Lanham, Md. : Lexington Books, 2016 $z 9781498534710 $w (DLC) 2016023681 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3BAA7714E61E11E7AB1B6A7197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
