Microscopic violations of human rights
Reconceptualising human rights as societal rights in the networked digital society
Host: Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) Bochum
10.2023-3.2024.
Aim of the project
The research aims to analyse current human rights theory and practice in order to see whether the interpretation of human rights could be extended to deal with "societal rights".
Research questions
1. What is the relationship between the public good and individual rights, and how can "societal rights" be defined as a hybrid?
2. Based on the teleological interpretation of rights, is there a need to re-define the extent of the positive obligations of the state? Alternatively, to re-define or specify the horizontal effects of rights?
Main threads
1. Exploring the history and the potential of collective rights. Can the cumulation of microscopic violations be regarded as collective rights? Can collective rights be used as an analogue to "societal rights"?
2. Exploring manifestations of the horizontal effect of rights, including legal instruments on due diligence.
