Legal Language and Interpretation Translation Studies and Practices International Law and Human Rights

Abstract

Abstract This book casts light on the workings of language in international legal interpretation in the context of contemporary processes of globalization. Its authors take an explicit interdisciplinary perspective, which includes both legal theories of interpretation and linguistic theories of meaning, and both legal philosophy and the philosophy of language. The book treats the subject as it appears within and across different legal fields—international economic law, human rights law and international criminal law, EU law, and international arbitration. It also includes more general perspectives on international legal interpretation, among them comparative law, multilingualism, and legal translation.
