»Normative Legitimacy of Law Morality and Human Rights in the Light of the Positivist
Separation Thesis«: On the basis of the positivist separation thesis this study provides
in-depth answers to the question of the manner in which state law international law morality
and human rights can be considered normatively legitimate and what this legitimacy means in
each case. The focus is not on specific substantive criteria of legitimacy such as democratic
procedures or certain notions of justice. Rather the question is more fundamentally about the
formal conditions of legitimacy.
