About
This book project presentation on “Human Rights Justifications in the EU and Beyond” from WP3 of the Horizon Europe project HRJust (States’ Practice of Human Rights Justification) offers a diverse array of scholarship with expertise in EU constitutional law, human rights and international law, philosophy, and political science, to explore domestic, European, and global dimensions of the use of human rights as justifications. The contributors to the volume will utilize a broad range of methodologies to examine how and when states and the EU may legitimately appeal to human rights as justifications and identify when such deployments of human rights are legitimate. In the webinar we will present the core ideas of the project and are happy to receive feedback and comments.
