Kitabın Açıklaması
Conservation of animal species is often dealt with by international treaties due to the transnational character of the issue. These various national and international legal norms may contradict human rights in the course of their implementation. Protection of animal interests appears as a matter of public interest, and it may correspond to a legitimate aim for interfering with a human right. The proportionality of such an interference is contingent upon the protection standard provided in the relevant legal system. If the animal interest is sufficiently compelling, it may be more vvorthy of protection than a conflicting human right. in addition, human rights enjoyed by animal rights defenders may indirectly serve animal interests. As more people become avvare of sentience in animals and acknowledge that animals hold interests that matter to fhem, animal rights become more achievable. Considering that human rights arose out of similar concerns, the framework of human rights may play an effective role in the protection of animal interests, and it may shape the progress tovvards animal rights.
