Human Rights Law: From Dissemination to Application: Essays in Honour of Goeran Melander

This unique collection of essays has been compiled in honour of Professor Goeran Melander, one of the founders of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI), in Lund, Sweden. Goeran Melander served as the Institute’s first director and subsequently as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The volume illustrates the complex relationship between dissemination of human rights standards and their application in human rights law, and thus serves as a tribute to Melander’s belief in and commitment to the dynamics of education in human rights law. The contributors are human rights scholars and activists, all colleagues and friends associated with various stages of Melander’s professional career.
