In modern liberal democracies, rights-based judicial intervention in the policy choices of elected bodies has always been controversial. For some, judicial intervention has tended to trivialize and impoverish democratic politics. For others, judges are better understood as contributing to a healthy dialogue between the different spheres of the constitution. This book offers a contribution to on-going debates surrounding the judicial role in protecting human rights in western society.
