Dinah Shelton in University of Saskatchewan Law Review, vol.
65
(2002): 299-331.
Throughout the development of international human rights
and humanitarian law, legal philosophers, activists and government
representatives have argued about the primacy of human rights
law over other subject areas of international regulation.
In this article,
Shelton examines the question of the primacy of human rights
law generally or at least the primacy of certain human rights
over other subject areas of international and domestic law.
She also explores questions concerning the relative importance
of different rights.
