Jason Ne Varuhas Damages and Human Rights sku-910842351

Damages and Human Rights by Jason Ne Varuhas is a paperback listed under Civil Rights Law Books as sku-910842351. It won the 2018 Inner Temple New Authors Book Prize and the 2016 SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship. The book examines when courts award damages for human rights violations and how they assess them.

It focuses on English law, drawing on other common law jurisdictions and international courts. Varuhas argues for a vindicatory approach based on tort principles for violations of basic rights. He also examines the current 'mirror' approach tied to European Court of Human Rights compensation, interest-balancing, and approaches from EU state liability and United States constitutional law.

The analysis considers public and private law, rights and remedies, domestic and international law, and the effects of damages liability on public funds and administration.
