Why are these violations so persistent? What are the limits of legalization for protecting human rights norms? Conventional wisdom offers a variety of answers to these questions, but most often they conflate laws and norms and focus only on state actions that violate both. While this focus is undoubtedly valuable, it does not capture cases in which states violate human rights norms without technically violating the law. Norm breakers are not necessarily lawbreakers. Focusing exclusively on norm violations that are illegal obscures the possibility that agents could violate norms in a legal manner, engaging in actions that are awful but lawful.Presenting rich case studies of the French expulsion of Roma immigrants from 2007 to 2017 and the Czech segregation of Roma children in schools for those with mild mental disabilities between 1993 and 2017, Evading International Norms argues that the violation of human rights norms often continues after legalization under the cover of technical legality. While laws and norms overlap, interact, and shape each other in many ways, they tend to reflect each other only selectively, which leads to the existence of norm-law gaps. Taking advantage of such gaps, states resist unwanted human rights obligations by transgressing international human rights norms without violating the laws designed to protect them?a process Zoltn I. Bzs names norm evasion.Based on a wealth of evidence, including more than 160 interviews, the book shows that the treatment of the Roma by France and the Czech Republic violated the norm of racial equality in a technically legal fashion. Bzs cautions that the good news about law compliance is not necessarily good news about norm compliance and draws attention to racial discrimination against the Roma, one of the largest and most marginalized European minorities. 410 0$aPennsylvania studies in human rights. 606 $aInternational law and human rights 606 $aSocial norms$xPolitical aspects 606 $aSocial norms$xInternational cooperation 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aCzech Republic. 610 $aFrance. 610 $aInternational law. 610 $aRace and international relations. 610 $aRoma immigrants. 610 $ahuman rights. 615 0$aInternational law and human rights. 615 0$aSocial norms$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aSocial norms$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a341.48 700 $aBúzás$b Zoltán I.$01219496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554272203321 996 $aEvading international norms$92819762 997 $aUNINA
