en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2027
Hostage-taking and the violence used against hostages are on the rise. This book examines the taking of hostages from a victim's perspective. Interrogating the relevant international law, Sofia Galani argues that we need to recognise violations of the human rights of hostages and act to protect them more effectively.

Recenzii

'This important book draws much-needed attention to the neglected human rights of hostages in international legal responses to hostage taking, particularly in countering terrorism and piracy. It deftly shows how the dominant framework of criminal suppression has paradoxically recognised the rights of perpetrators but not necessarily of victims, while state responsibility has focused largely on states' not victims' rights. It calls for victims to be protected through a human rights-centred approach, including by careful attention to its extraterritorial application. The book provides a rich account of doctrine, state practice, and policy, and stands out as the leading work in this area.' Ben Saul, University of Sydney
'The book adds a new critical perspective to the field. Its analysis of the jurisprudence is clear and informative, the discussion of the responsibilities and positive obligations of state and non-state actors is full of important insights and the analysis concerning preventive measures and safeguards is fascinating. This book is an outstanding piece of work.' Silvia Casale, CMG, Former President of the CPT / Former Chairperson of the SPT
