Comparative and practical approaches to human rights
In keeping with the Brussels School and its pragmatic method, part of the Perelman Centre’s research focuses on human rights, privileging a micro-legal approach to individual cases from a strategic, comparative, interdisciplinary and pluralist perspective. This entails moving beyond a national approach by drawing on different branches of regional law, international law and other national legal systems, in order to develop creative solutions through an integrated approach. Grounded in the migration of legal concepts, this case-based method addresses a range of fundamental rights, including freedom of expression, equality and non-discrimination, and freedom of religion.
This work is complemented by broader reflection on how legal norms are developed and transformed, the role of judges and civil society, and the influence of legal and judicial cultures.
