In recent years, human rights fact-finding has greatly proliferated and become more sophisticated and complex, while also being subjected to stronger scrutiny from governments. Nevertheless, despite the prominence of fact-finding, it remains strikingly under-studied and under-theorized. Too little has been done to bring forth the assumptions, methodologies, and techniques of this rapidly developing field, or to open human rights fact-finding to critical and constructive scrutiny. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Transformation of Human Rights Fact-Finding\u003c\/em\u003e offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of fact-finding with rigorous and critical analysis of the field of practice, while providing a range of accounts of what actually happens. It deepens the study and practice of human rights investigations, and fosters fact-finding as a discretely studied topic, while mapping crucial transformations in the field. The contributions to this book are the result of a major international conference organized by New York University Law School's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice. Engaging the expertise and experience of the editors and contributing authors, it offers a broad approach encompassing contemporary issues and analysis across the human rights spectrum in law, international relations, and critical theory. This book addresses the major areas of human rights fact-finding such as victim and witness issues; fact-finding for advocacy, enforcement, and litigation; the role of\u003cbr\u003einterdisciplinary expertise and methodologies; crowd sourcing, social media, and big data; and international guidelines for fact-finding.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890416599191,"sku":"9780190239497","price":8954.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190239497.webp?v=1781179953","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-transformation-of-human-rights-fact-finding-9780190239497","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
