Implementing the
Advisory Opinion of the ICJ:
Protecting and Enforcing Rights
through International Law
|
|
Speaker:
Jeff Handmaker
Former Human Rights lawyer in South Africa
Currently a PhD researcher at the Netherlands Institute of Human
Rights, Utrecht

|
In the area of refugee law, case studies
in developing countries will be used to critique the claim that
individuals are central participants in the creation of
international human rights norms and the invoking of those norms,
drawing on international law, politics, sociology and the experience
of the researcher. It is suggested that civil society actors play a
central role in mediating between international human rights law and
the development of national legislation, forming consequent rights
and obligations. This important conceptual challenge regarding the
relationship between civil and state institutions has potentially
far reaching practical implications for ensuring effective human
rights protection of both citizens and non-citizens.
Jeff Handmaker is a member of the human
rights advisory committee for Dutch NGO HIVOS. He is also a member
of the Law and Society Association, Vereniging voor de
Sociaal-wetenschappelijke bestudering van het Recht, International
Association for the Study of Forced Migration and Amnesty
International.
In 2001, Handmaker made extensive
contributions to UNHCR's Global Consultations on International
Protection and in 2004 served as consultant to the United Nations
International Conference of Civil Society in Support of the
Palestinian People.
