Fundamental Rights for Non-HumansHart Publishing (an imprint of Bloomsbury) has published Fundamental Rights for Non-Humans, edited by John Adenitire (Queen Mary University) and Raffael Fasel (Jesus College).

Can animals, artificial intelligences (AI), and nature have fundamental rights? Do they have fundamental rights? And if they do, how do their rights relate to human rights?

In this book, eminent and emerging scholars from fields as varied as legal theory, environmental studies, and philosophy, probe the theoretical foundations, flaws, and future prospects of the growing phenomenon of non-human rights.

Dr Fasel is co-founder of the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law. For more information about him, please refer to his Faculty profile.
