In late 2010, the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from
Enforced Disappearance (ICPPED) entered into force. e present study addresses the

Routledge, 2011. – xvi, 245 p. – (Routledge research in human rig hts law )
ISBN: 978–0 -415–58705
e Treaty of Lisbon has endowed the EU with a normative huma n rights framework
that conrms recognition as a fully-edged regional mechanism for the protection
of human rights. e aim of this book is to contribute to the growing discussion of
the external human rights dimension of the Eu ropean Union. Its theme sits at the
crossroads between Internationa l and EU law, human rights, and political science.
In moving beyond well-covered topics such as the protect ion of human rights w ithin
the EU, or their relevance for the accession of new Member States, t his book asks
the broader question of whether EU human rig hts law has any real relevance on a
global scale. In total, e EU as a ‘global player’ in human rights gives an overview
of the international relevance of EU huma n rights law by means of exemplary case-
studies of the EU’s institutiona l and substantive protection of human rights, whilst
consideration of non-European perspectives from China and Japan underline its
global foc us.
