“…138 Still, the history of human rights illustrates their capacity to adapt to human developments and newly arising challenges. 139 Human rights have always been part of a temporal and dynamic process. 140 The necessity of human rights transformation and development is described by Alston, who emphasises that 'the vitality and enduring significance of the human rights tradition depend in large measure on the extent to which it can respond to new needs and can accommodate the concern with which the majority of the peoples of the world are pre-occupied.'…”

In recent years, climate change has presented itself as a new challenge to human rights dogmatism. The present contribution examines the hurdles caused by interpreting existing regional and international human rights standards in the context of climate change, with particular reference to issues of causality, attribution, standing, and extraterritorial jurisdiction. As climate change does not neatly fit into present human rights categories, and progressive interpretation bears the risk of arbitrary and unjust results as well as overstretching the rules of interpretation, this article makes a case for an autonomous human right to climate protection without, however, losing sight of the risks of concomitant human rights overreach. It argues that a new human right to climate protection would respond to basic human needs and could allow for establishing clear legal standards that have the potential to strengthen human rights protection and secure pre-existing rights.

“…This would expose the true costs of academic publishing as well as what publishers perceive as a reasonable profit. Otherwise another stimulating and valuable article (Marks and Janke, 2009). As an aside a similar financial confusion appears in the July editorial of Learned Publishing – “in order to recoup the cost of retro digitisation, older backfiles may be sold … ”.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to provide a review of the most recent literature concerning document supply and related matters.Design/methodology/approachThe approach is based on the reading of over 150 journals as well as monographs, reports and websites.FindingsThe ups and downs of document supply activity are noted this quarter. Clearly there is still great potential in the lending of returnables and for excellent services backed up by good marketing. The scholarly communication system comes under intense scrutiny in the literature. Technological change is perceived to be accelerating but the hybrid library will always be present. Open access continues to develop rapidly but its direction and potential continue to divide the profession. Increasing concerns continue to be expressed about the monopolistic implications of Google and there are some stout counter‐arguments. All now depends on the legal judgment to be made in the Autumn.Originality/valueThe paper is a useful source of information for librarians and others interested in document supply and related matters.

“…Academic journals reflect not only advances in knowledge in particular fields, but also larger technological and cultural transformations within and outside the academy. 3,4 Over the past three decades, academic journals have undergone significant changes in terms of format and organisation. These transformations are partly attributable to the exponential growth of both information technologies and academic publishing, including the standardisation of educational journals.…”
