Illegality in the Age of Rights (book)

"Illegality in the Age of Rights," by Matthew L. Schwartz, explores the complex relationship between human rights and legal frameworks. It examines how societies increasingly prioritize individual rights and freedoms while addressing illegal activities. The book delves into the challenges faced by legal systems in balancing the enforcement of laws with the protection of human rights, considering issues like immigration, criminal justice, and state sovereignty. Schwartz argues that understanding illegality is essential in this era, as it impacts not only legal outcomes but also the ethical treatment of individuals within society.
