Public International Law is a system of law
The idea of human rights lay at
the core of theAmerican and French revolutions.
Difference between derogations and limitations from human rights:
Derogations from human rights are permitted only in exceptional circumstances, when the life
of the nation is at stake, when there's a natural disaster, etc. The situation has to be officially
proclaimed and then informed to the Human Rights Organisation? Derogations can be only
inflicted upon rights that can be derogated from and it should only be temporary (for the
duration of the emergency situation). It also has to be strictly-required and in proportion to the
aims achieved, only rights puudutatud by the situation can be derogated from. Also,
derogations should not be discriminatory.
Limitations to rights are made to serve certain legitimate aims, however the core of the right
may not be affected as in derogation
