International Human Rights Treaties

Joshua Castellino discusses how international human rights treaties are constructed using examples from the Refugee Convention, the Convention on the Rights of the Disabled and the Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers and their Families. He notes that there is a difference between a declaration and a convention, in which one is indicative of international willingness and the other is legally obligatory. According to constitutions, discrimination is illegal on grounds of religion, culture, traditions, or any other markers of community.
