504 _aGiving a comparative socio-legal examination of double jeopardy reform, recognition of same-sex relationships and the operation of hate speech laws - in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, this book provides a foundation for finding answers to many of the questions surrounding the universality of human rights values.Comparative socio-legal examination of three recent controversies - double jeopardy reform, recognition of same-sex relationships and the operation of hate speech laws provides answers to these questions. Examination of these controversies suggest that differences in the design of domestic legal institutions and procedures for the injection of human rights values into legal decision-making processes can have a powerful effect on the manner in which human rights issues are constructed, handled and resolved.
