Promise of Human Rights

Jamie Mayerfeld defends international human rights law as an extension of domestic checks and balances and therefore necessary to constitutional government. The book combines theoretical reflections on democracy and constitutionalism with a case study of the contrasting human rights policies of Europe and the United States.

Jamie Mayerfeld apara dreptul international al drepturilor omului ca o extindere a controalelor si a soldurilor interne si, prin urmare, necesara guvernului constitutional. Cartea combina reflectii teoretice asupra democratiei si constitutionalismului cu un studiu de caz al politicilor contrastante privind drepturile omului din Europa si Statele Unite.
