ISBN: 9780190611279 出版年：2016 页码：313 Fellmeth, Aaron Xavier Oxford University Press

Paradigms of International Human Rights Law explores the legal, ethical, and other policy consequences of three core structural features of international human rights law: the focus on individual rights instead of duties; the division of rights into substantive and nondiscrimination categories; and the use of positive and negative right paradigms. It first explains the types of individual, corporate, and state duties available. It then evaluates how substantive rights and nondiscrimination rights are used to protect similar values through different channels. Lastly, it discusses negative and positive paradigms by dispelling a common misconception about positive rights.
