Description
The Human Right to Resist in International and Constitutional Law provides a comprehensive analysis of one of law’s most contentious and vital concepts. Shannonbrooke Murphy investigates how the right to resist oppression and injustice is articulated, protected, and limited within international legal systems and constitutional frameworks across different jurisdictions.
The work addresses fundamental questions about when, how, and under what circumstances resistance to governmental or institutional authority is legally justified. Drawing on case law, treaty provisions, and constitutional texts, Murphy examines the tension between state sovereignty and individual rights to dissent and resist. The book explores resistance in various contexts including civil disobedience, armed struggle, and popular uprisings, analyzing how international law and domestic constitutions balance security concerns with the protection of fundamental freedoms.
This scholarly work is essential for legal professionals, political theorists, and anyone seeking to understand the legal dimensions of resistance movements and human rights protection.
