In the last thirty years scholars disproportionately from the United States have drawn freely from the social sciences to rid themselves of their most intractable and embarrassing problem: The subject of their concern and the theory purporting to account for its existence bear no plausible relation to each other. If the solution is a theory about law yet not law-a theory rejecting Law's narrow construction of law-so be it. They would be social scientists. Nicholas Greenwood Onuf1 I. Presentation of the Project We are pleased to present this volume entitled State Compliance with International Human Rights Law: State-of-the-art, Improvement and Challenges which is the outcome of the homonymous workshop. When Professor Helene Tigroudja and Professor Ludovic Hennebel proposed us to supervise the organization of a workshop on Compliance Theories in International Human Rights Law, we were aware of the obligations that this would entail, but we never imagined that we would have to face a global pandemic. As the states entered successively into lockdowns, our speakers, scattered around the globe, were prevented from joining us in Aix-en- Provence. Despite the lockdown, we decided to carry out this project. This volume is, therefore, the acts of a workshop initially programmed to take place on 2 April 2020 in Aix-en-Provence but eventually postponed, to be held in the future. Same theme. Same place. Same persons. The articles in this volume are part of the A*MIDEX INSIDE (International Socialization and Democracy Through International Law) project led by Professor Helene Tigroudja and Professor Ludovic Hennebel. This project focuses on assessing the compliance of states with universal standards for the protection of human rights. The fundamental postulate of the INSIDE rests on the idea that international law is a tool used to socialize states. The doctrine attempts to identify, by invoking both theories of international relations and those of international law, the ways and effects of such socialization. The intended research to be carried out in the context of the INSIDE project finds its foundations in this framework and is based on a broad empirical field on international human rights law. One of the objectives of the project is to construct Scientific Coordination of the INSIDE Workshop, Niki Siampakou holds a PhD in International Law from Aix Marseille University, Gaetan Ferrara is a PhD candidate at Aix Marseille University, Centre d'tudes et de recherches intemationales et communautaires (CERIC).
