Abstract
The aim of the thesis is that of proposing some of the essential elements of an emergent theoretical model of networked transnational human rights strategic litigation, starting from the investigation of a paradigmatic case study and of its socio-legal dynamics. The case study concerns the struggle of both victims and supporting organizations in seeking redress through strategic litigation for crimes allegedly perpetrated by the Saudi-led military coalition in the context of the Yemen civil war. The thesis is articulated in four parts. Besides the introduction, Chapter 2 synthesizes the existing scholarly literature on strategic human rights litigation and identifies the gap that the thesis attempts to fill, and its additional contribution. This will be done by summarizing some of the key arguments and findings of the extensive literature on strategic human rights litigation with a view to indicating what additional value the thesis aims to provide, and where it fits within the framework of what has already been developed in legal scholarship. In chapter 3, the case study, involved actors and related findings will be described and analyzed. The aim of the first section of the chapter will be that of providing context for mapping and analyzing relational dynamics between the organizations involved in the strategic litigation network. The second section, instead, will be focused on the four interviews with respondents from involved organizations, along with the analysis of relevant findings based on their answers. The work will be concluded by chapter 4, whose aim is to synthesize the findings of the case study, filling some of the gaps identified in the literature review by attempting to systematize the elements of an emergent model of networked transnational strategic human rights litigation.
