Summary: | Despite global undertakings to safeguard the full enjoyment of human rights, culture, traditional practices and religion are widely used to discriminate against women. In this volume 17 scholars approach women's human rights globally, regionally and nationally, combining the perspectives of public and private international law in a hitherto unique manner. Comprehensive legal, culture-based and theoretical overviews are combined with analyses of topical issues, such as unbalanced sex-ratios, intercountry adoption, women as refugees or as "surrogate mothers", violence against women and cross-border enforcement of protection orders.<br><br>Si les droits de l'Homme font l'objet d'un grand nombre d'instruments conventionnels universels et r gionaux, leur effectivit et leur efficacit ne<br>sont pas encore acquises comme l'illustre ce volume consacr la question de la discrimination. A travers des chapitres qui m lent des approches de droit priv et de droit public, des consid rations juridiques, politiques, religieuses, conomiques et sociales et qui offrent une analyse globale de certaines th matiques li es la discrimination fond e sur le genre, l'ambition de cet ouvrage est de souligner les visages divers qu'elle rev t ainsi que les solutions juridiques plus ou moins efficaces qui ont t mises en place par les Etats, les organisations internationales et la soci t civile pour y rem dier.<br><br>Originally published as Colloques / Workshops - Law Books of the Academy , Volume 37. |
