Sommario/riassunto

Adjudicating International Human Rights honours Professor Sandy



Ghandhi on his retirement from law teaching. It does so through a series of targeted essays which probe the framework and adequacy of international human rights adjudication. Eminent international law scholars (such as Sir Nigel Rodley, Professor Javaid Rehman and Professor Malcolm Evans), along with emerging writers in the field, take Professor Ghandhi’s body of work—focussed on human rights protection through legal institutions—as a starting point for a variety of analytical essays. Adjudicating International Human Rights includes chapters devoted to human rights protection in a number of different institutional contexts, ranging from the ICJ and the Human Rights Committee to truth commissions and NAFTA arbitration tribunals.

Sommario/riassunto

This book offers groundbreaking insights into transforming the concrete industry with innovative, environmentally conscious solutions. It explores the latest advancements in sustainable technologies, including climate-improved concrete, green binders, recycled materials, and high-performance composites. It also covers the optimization of reinforced concrete structures, load-bearing columns and beams replacements, as well as non-destructive testing methods for predicting concrete performance. Additionally, it investigates engineered cementitious composites, internally cured concrete, and industrial by-products to address pressing environmental challenges in construction. An indispensable reference for engineers, architects, and researchers shaping the future of sustainable infrastructure and reducing carbon footprints. Explores sustainable concrete technologies like climate-improved concrete, green binders, recycled materials, and high-performance composites; Examines both the optimization of reinforced concrete structures and non-destructive testing methods for predicting concrete performance; Focuses on addressing pressing environmental challenges in construction through the use of engineered cementitious composites, internally cured concrete, and industrial by-products.
