Writing Constitutions

Writing Constitutions intends to serve as a practical manual for those writing constitutions or interested in their design. It is the first systematic and universal approach to coherently capture concepts and contents of a modern constitution. Volume II is a user-friendly guide covering the current best practice in human rights and contains a draft catalogue of human rights. It empowers judges, lawyers, civil rights activists, legislators, and academics to draft and interpret over 70 Human Rights and strengthen democracies. Writing Constitutions comes in three volumes:-        Volume I:   Institutions-        Volume II:  Fundamental Rights-        Volume III: Constitutional Principles
