Preface
This book aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion about how interim measures can be legitimate and well-functioning tools to address urgent human rights cases. Preventing irreparable harm in urgent situations requires a multifaceted approach by litigants, adjudicators and other official authorities at the international level. The book discusses urgency and human rights from the vantage point of various practitioners and scholars in international and regional adjudicatory systems. It does so with the aim of identifying how interim measures could be legitimate and protective and to single out obstacles to their implementation. As the editors, we joined forces, first to organise an expert seminar on Urgency and Human Rights (29–30 May 2015), together with Rosa Möhrlein, and now to publish this book. Clara Burbano, Yves Haeck and Andrea Saccucci supported the venture. Several of the contributors to this book also took part in that seminar, with its call for papers. We thank Radboud University International Office, the Centre for State and Law of Radboud University and Ghent University Human Rights Centre for the funds provided, which enabled us to organise this seminar. We very much appreciate the patience of the contributing authors throughout this project. They submitted (the new versions of) their chapters between Summer 2019 and the first half
