As part of the successful "Principles" series, Clarus Press has published Principles of Irish Human Rights Law: the first student textbook in Ireland dedicated to the direct comparison of the Irish and European systems for the protection of human rights. Designed and written specifically for students of human rights law, the book discusses and analyzes each key 'human right' in turn. Each right is examined through the three primary human rights instruments: the Irish Constitution, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Each instrument is examined and explained, giving an overview of the particular right, discussing and analyzing in which situations that the right is engaged, and including an examination of situations which constitute an interference with the right and what justifications may arise for such interferences. Principles of Irish Human Rights Law examines the often-neglected area of procedural issues, including the initial application of human rights instruments in Ireland, together with their territorial and extra-territorial jurisdiction. In addition, the book looks at the effect of the Charter of Fundamental Rights together with the future of the Irish Constitution and the ECHR. This book is a must for all students of human rights law and related subjects. It will also be an invaluable resource for all lawyers requiring a reference to human rights issues as a comprehensive yet accessible text aiding clearer understanding of the application of human rights in Ireland.

This book assesses the powers, practices, and processes of Garda (Ireland's police force) for compliance with international best practice in human rights standards. It offers a unique critique of the law, policy, and practice on policing in Ireland from a human rights perspective. The book is divided into four sections, with Part I examining human rights and policing in general. It offers a detailed and comprehensive account of human rights standards applicable to key aspects of policing, such as: arrest * detention * interrogation * the right of access to legal advice and medical treatment * the taking bodily samples * stop and question/search * entry, search, and seizure * surveillance * the use of informers * the improper use of intelligence * public order * the use of force * the treatment of victims * the treatment of ethnic minorities * complaints * internal discipline * accountability to the law * governance and democratic accountability * gender and diversity in the composition of the police organization * the rights of police officers with respect to trade union membership, political activity, and disciplinary procedures. The human rights standards on each of these aspects are extracted from international sources, such as: the European Convention on Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, the Council of Europe's Code of Police Ethics, the reports of the Council of Europe's Committee on the Prevention of Torture, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, and examples of best practice from other jurisdictions. This is supplemented by an account of relevant Irish human rights standards as extracted from Ireland's Constitution, the common law, and legislation. On each of these key aspects of policing, attention is drawn to how and where Irish law falls short of international best practice and what is needed to remedy the deficiencies. Part II offers a structured and comprehensive account of the human rights concerns that have affected policing in Ireland over the past decade or so. It gives an overview of the human rights failings that have been revealed by sources, such as: the Morris Tribunal of Inquiry into events in Donegal * the Barr Tribunal into the fatal shooting of John Carthy at Abbeylara * the Garda Siochana Complaints Board and Ombudsman Commission * the European Committee on the Prevention of Torture * judgments from Irish courts * the Ionann Human Rights Audit on the Garda * investigative journalism. Part III offers a critique of the Garda policies and processes that have been and are being taken to address the human rights deficiencies outlined in Part II. This includes an expert analysis of the internal formulation and dissemination of human rights policies and the monitoring of compliance with those policies and human rights standards within the force. In Part IV, the book concludes with a body of broad recommendations on the further actions that are needed to ingrain human rights standards at the heart of all aspects of policing in Ireland.

"During the past three decades, international legal expert Francis A. Boyle has dealt with some of the most difficult problems created by Britain's continued military occupation of six northeast counties in Ireland. In so doing, he along with other Irish Americans engaged the formidable Irish American domestic lobby in support of the Irish resistance. This book addresses some of the most important aspects of their historic campaigns--the struggle to prevent deportation of Irish freedom-fighter, Joe Doherty, the protest against the U.S.-U.K. Extradition Treaty of 2006, the effort to engage U.S. multinationals in implementing the MacBride Principles to roll back discrimination against Catholics in Northern Ireland. But most significantly, Boyle makes the legal case for viewing the horrific Irish 'Potato Famine'--the Irish Hecatomb--as a result, not of laissez-faire economic policy, but of intentional British genocide. This is the definitive book on all legal/political/human rights aspects of the Irish conflict, including Britain's international legal obligation to decolonize Northern Ireland and going forward, a legal and human rights framework for establishing a United Ireland where all Irish can live in peace with justice for all irrespective of their differences. United Ireland, Human Rights, and International Law is required reading for Irish Americans, people living in Ireland, and the Irish Diaspora around the world"--Provided by publisher.
