Human Rights and Charity Law

This book explores how charity law is adapting to challenges presented by human rights. The book identifies the key areas where human rights and charity law intersects and their political significance. It offers a comparative analysis of selected common law countries including the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand assessing the extent of national human rights and charity compatibility. Kerry O’Halloran also goes on to consider tensions arising from the intersection of human rights and charity law including the significance of cultural values and heritage, the importance of proportionality and striking a balance between public and private interests in current society.
