Human rights

Judgments in the archive that turn on questions of human rights.

Overview

The archive holds 6 judgments in Human rights, decided between 1980–2021, drawn from 2 jurisdictions (India, Russia) and 3 courts of record. Each entry is set out in the same order — facts, legal issue, arguments, judgment, reasoning and the rule established — so decisions from different legal systems can be read side by side.
