Contents:

Sovereignty, autonomy, and right -- Coercive sterilization of Romani women in the Czech and Slovak Republics -- Triple helix : the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, Roma, and racial discrimination -- Identifying the harm : coercive sterilization on contested interpretive terrain -- Social forces and national, regional, and international human rights processes -- Conclusion : Human rights as effective remedy, human rights as liberation ideology.

Summary: Human rights, state sovereignty and medical ethics: examining struggles around coercive sterilisation of Romani women' examines the mobilized use by people and groups of the international human rights law framework to move legal, policy and ultimately social change at national and local level. One particular case study is examined in detail: efforts by Romani women in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to secure legal remedy for coercive sterilization. International legal aspects of these cases are examined in detail. The book concludes by endeavouring to answer questions concerning the nature of international law and the evolution of the post-World War II international human rights framework, the structure of national sovereignty, and the potential impact of both on human autonomy.
