Paradigms of International Human Rights Law is written by Aaron Xavier Fellmeth and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190611294 (ISBN 10) and 9780190611293 (ISBN 13).

Paradigms of International Human Rights Law explores the legal, ethical, and other policy consequences of three core structural features of international human rights law: the focus on individual rights instead of duties; the division of rights into substantive and nondiscrimination categories; and the use of positive and negative right paradigms. It first explains the types of individual, corporate, and state duties available. It then evaluates how substantive rights and nondiscrimination rights are used to protect similar values through different channels. Lastly, it discusses negative and positive paradigms by dispelling a common misconception about positive rights.
