تبعیض مبتنی بر کاست در حقوق بشر بین‌الملل

Presenting an analysis of the elimination of racial discrimination in international law, this book assesses the movement against racial discrimination, which has dominated human rights discourse since the UN's inception. It evaluates the strategies that have informed the work of the UN treaty-based and charter-based bodies in this area, and maps a new path that moves from standard-setting to implementation. Through the lens of the Hindu caste system, the book seeks to provide a benchmark on the achievements of the international community in combatting all forms of racial discrimination, and the policies that must inform future measures. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international human rights and law.

Combining legal analysis with the meaning and origin of caste, it explores the remedies human rights law can propose towards the prohibition of caste-based discrimination, and the abolition of the caste system itself. The book provides a benchmark on the achievements of the international community in combating all forms of racial discrimination, and the policies that must inform future measures. With its clear and accessible style this volume will be of interest to scholars of law and human rights, as well as policy-makers and practitioners working in this area.
