Abstract Confronted with COVID-19, states have taken emergency measures derogating from human rights obligations. With the pandemic now declared over, it is time to review state practice and the derogation systems under international human rights treaties. This article examines all 373 notifications sent from states to the treaty organs of three treaties—the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the American Convention o

While both international human rights law and constitutional law protect fundamental rights of individuals, it remains a question to what extent and for what purpose constitutional justice uses IHR instruments. This article offers empirical research on the use of IHR instruments with a case study of South Korea. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted for all sixty-five decisions from the Constitutional Court of Korea that mentioned IHR instruments from 1988 to 2015. Findings show t

In times of public emergency, states take emergency measures to control the national crisis and restore public order. These emergency measures often restrict individuals' freedom and rights that are protected under international human rights treaties. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, in its article 4, allows states to derogate from their obligations under the Covenant in time of public emergency. This is to adopt emergency measures to control crisis and, more importantly

Through a use of both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, Won provides a nuanced analysis and discussion of the factors and domestic processes influencing the implementation of United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) recommendations in South Korea and Japan, as well as across the globe. Won’s research entangles the theoretical debate on whether the UN human rights treaty system is effective in prompting the implementation of HRC recommendations. Based on interviews with activists,

Las expresiones que critican al jefe de estado, las instituciones gubernamentales o los funcionarios públicos con frecuencia son sancionadas con castigo penal por su uso de lenguaje despectivo e irrespetuoso, denominado en la ley "insultos". Este artículo analiza cuatro decisiones de revisión judicial de la Corte Suprema de México y la Corte Constitucional de Corea con respecto a las leyes de insulto desde la perspectiva tanto del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos como del derecho co
