HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD K...

At the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights  the General Assembly of
the United Nations States deplored that in no country or territory can it be claimed that all
human rights have been fully realized at all times for all. Human beings continue to suffer
from the neglect and violation of their human rights and fundamental freedoms. Especially in
Georgia  human rights abuses are a painful part of recent history. The tri-national workshop
organized by the Caucasus School of Law (Georgia) and the Universities of Paris Ouest Nanterre
La Défense (France) and Potsdam (Germany) opened new perspectives on how to effectively prevent
such violations. Are preventive mechanisms necessary? Is soft law more effective than hard law?
Is there a contradiction between the right of people to selfdetermination and territorial
integrity? Who is bound by human rights in armed conflicts? Do human rights play a role in
criminal law? Which mechanisms allow for an application of human rights in Private
International Law? Are transnational corporations liable for human rights violations? These and
other issues are explored in twelve selected papers written in English  French and German.
