THE JUDICIAL APPLICATION OF

HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

National, Regional and International Jurisprudence

Since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

over 140 countries have incorporated human rights standards into their

legal systems: the resulting jurisprudence from diverse cultural tradi-

tions brings new dimensions to concepts first articulated in 1948. Nihal

Jayawickrama draws on all available sources to encapsulate the judicial

interpretation of human rights law in one ambitious, comprehensive

volume. Jayawickrama covers the case law of the superior courts of

eighty countries in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean

and the Pacific, as well as jurisprudence of the UN Human Rights

monitoring bodies, the European Court of Human Rights, and of the

Inter-American system. He analyses the judicial application of human

rights law to demonstrate empirically the universality of contemporary

human rights norms. This definitive compendium will be essential for

legal practitioners, and government and non-governmental officials,

as well as academics and students of both constitutional law and the

international law of human rights law.

nihal jayawickrama was the Ariel F. Sallows Professor of Human

Rights at the University of Saskatchewan. He taught both constitutional

law and the international law of human rights at the University of Hong

Kong, and published on a range of contemporary legal, constitutional

and human rights issues. An advocate for a Bill of Rights in Hong Kong

prior to the transfer of sovereignty in 1997, he was involved in the

processes that led to its fruition. Executive Director of Transparency

International from 1997 to 2000, he is currently a consultant on gover-

nance and judicial reform. A member of the Sri Lanka Bar, he held the

offices of Attorney General and Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of

Justice, and served as a Representative to the United Nations General

Assembly.

PREFACE

From 1978, I was associated with Professor Paul Sieghart, then chairmanof JUSTICE, the United Kingdom section of the International Com-mission of Jurists, and Professor James Fawcett, then president of theEuropean Commission of Human Rights, in a research project on theinternational law of human rights. My research on the jurisprudence ofthe Strasbourg institutions and of national courts was incorporated inPaul Sieghart’s pioneering work, The International Law of Human Rightswhich was published in 1983. The cut-off date for the law examined inthat book was 31 December 1981.

In the next two decades, the international human rights regime streng-thened considerably. Over 150 countries, spread over every continent,incorporated contemporary human rights standards into their legal sys-tems. Over 100 countries ratified the Optional Protocol to the Interna-tional Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, thereby enabling theirinhabitants to access the Human Rights Committee. Meanwhile, nearlyall the countries of South and Central America, Africa and Europe sub-scribed to regional human rights instruments with their ownmonitoringor enforcement mechanisms. The resulting jurisprudence, rich in con-tent and varied in flavour, from diverse cultural traditions, has added anew dimension to the concepts first articulated in the Universal Declara-tion of Human Rights. This book seeks to incorporate that jurisprudenceand, in that sense, complement the late Paul Sieghart’s invaluable work.

I have not set out to produce a scholarly work on human rights or oninternational law. There are already several analyses of the theoreticalfoundations and the politics of human rights, commentaries on thedifferent human rights instruments, academic studies of selected rights,and surveys of selected case law of the Strasbourg institutions and of theHuman Rights Committee. What is lacking is a volume that assembles allthe available jurisprudence on human rights from international, regional

and national sources; a book that presents the content of human rightslaw as interpreted by the courts. That is the need I have set out to meet.

In identifying the substantive content of the rights recognized in theInternational Bill of Human Rights, i.e. the Universal Declaration andthe two covenants, I have drawn on the following sources:

(a) the travaux preparatoires, particularly in respect of the InternationalCovenant on Civil and Political Rights;

(b) the texts of international instruments dealing with specific rightsand other standard setting resolutions of the United Nations GeneralAssembly, specialized agencies and subsidiary institutions;

(c) the general comments of the Human Rights Committee and theCommittee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the con-clusions of the Committee of Experts under the European SocialCharter;

(d) the judgments and advisory opinions of the International Court ofJustice and its predecessor, the Permanent Court of InternationalJustice;

(e) the decisions of the Human Rights Committee on individual com-munications received under the Optional Protocol, and of theCommittee against Torture;

(f) the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the re-ports and decisions of the European Commission of Human Rights;

(g) the decisions and advisory opinions of the Inter-American Court ofHuman Rights and the reports of the Inter-American Commissionof Human Rights;

(h) the judgments of superior courts in national jurisdictions interpret-ing and applying domestic Bills of Rights, wherever the specific rightsand freedoms have been formulated in terms identical or similar tothose enunciated in the two international human rights convenants;and

(i) the works of jurists.

The depth of discussion of a particular right is dependent on the avail-ability of case law. Accordingly, the chapters on economic, social andcultural rights are necessarily brief, while some on civil and politicalrights may appear inordinately long. Since I have been able to workonly in the English language, references to national jurisprudence fromthe European continent are often based on published summaries. The

cut-off date for the law incorporated in this book is, to the extent prac-ticable, 31 December 2001.

Any work of this kind involves considerable research. Much of theearly work was done in the libraries of the United Nations in New Yorkand Geneva, and of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in London.I am grateful to the former United Nations Centre for Human Rights inGeneva, the General Secretariat of the Organization of American Statesin Washington DC, and the Secretariat of the Council of Europe inStrasbourg for sending me regularly a wealth of information containedin their publications, documents and reports. Many friends, includingmy former colleagues in Hong Kong, have either sent me, or directedme to, material which I was unaware of or had overlooked, or providedme access to their personal collections.

Writing a book of this nature is difficult to combinewith regular teach-ing at a university, as I soon discovered after I commenced preliminarywork on it while teaching constitutional, administrative and humanrights law at the University of Hong Kong. I am most grateful, therefore,for the opportunity afforded me by the University of Saskatchewan in1992–3, to spend an academic year in Saskatoon, in the exhilarating cli-mate of the Canadian prairies. It was during that year, when I had theprivilege of occupying the Ariel F. Sallows Chair of Human Rights, thatI began writing this book. I could not have found a more conducive orstimulating environment, made even more agreeable by the warmth andkindness with which Dean Peter MacKinnon, QC, and his colleagues re-ceived my family and me. After leaving both Hong Kong and academia in1997, progress on this book was interrupted for a while as I commutedbetween London and Berlin (and a few other places as well) learningand exploring the new, but not entirely unrelated, area of corruption inpublic life and, more especially, in the judiciary.

This book would not, of course, have assumed the shape and formin which it appears today but for the help and co-operation which wasalways forthcoming from Professor James Crawford, Whewell Profes-sor of International Law at the University of Cambridge, Ms FinolaO’Sullivan, Commissioning Editor (Law), and Dr Jennie Rubio, LawDevelopment Editor, at Cambridge University Press. I am grateful fortheir recognition of the need for a definitive text on this subject, andtheir belief in my capacity to produce and deliver within the time con-straints that regulate most things in life. An effort spread over a decade

would not have been possible without the continuing tolerance and un-derstanding of my family. Indeed, it was their profound interest andencouragement that enabled this work to reach fruition. My deepestdebt, therefore, is owed to my wife, Sarojini, and to our two daughters,Nishana and Sharanya, all of whom, I am sure, looked forward on eachnew year’s day to life finally returning to normal in our home, whereverit might have been located.

The language of the chapters on the substantive rights that follow israrely mine. The real authors are the lawyers and judges, the men andwomen of many cultures who, individually and collectively, enhancedthe value of human life and extended the frontiers of human dignityby their courageous, imaginative and innovative approach to the inter-pretation and application of international and regional human rightsinstruments and national constitutions. I have attempted to assemble ina single volume as much of the material as I have been able to gatherin the hope that their endeavours will help and inspire others not onlyto follow but even to improve upon their achievements. Thereby, theevolving body of international human rights law will, in fact, becomethe universally accepted common standard by which the conduct of gov-ernments, public officials, private bodies, and individuals is measured. IfI have expressed a preference for a particular view, criticized a decision,or projected a dissent, I have done so because of my own perception thatin the protection of human rights, it is not possible to compromise; therecan be no half-way houses, no wayside halting places. Human rights arenot only fundamental; they are also inherent and inalienable.
