Popis: The development of human rights law is generally presented as a story of progress. This progress is an evolution from an “old” legal regime that did not recognize individual rights to a “new” law (starting with the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)) that anointed all individuals as possessors of internationally recognized rights against their states. Further, the definition of these rights has supposedly expanded over time, adding elements of complementary protection and extraterritorial application.
