Download or read book A Holistic Approach to Rights written by Eugene Schlossberger and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2008 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying new theories about rights to pressing social issues, A Holistic Approach to Rights suggests major changes are needed in the ways we think about rights and formulating social policy. Part I analyzes rights as networks of warrants--socially recognized sanctions for doing, saying, demanding, believing, feeling, or thinking something as one's due. On this account, rights are more varied and play a more diverse and open-ended role in legal and moral thinking than most theories of rights allow. A new theory of natural rights treats them as claims that every person has upon the state, as a condition of legitimacy, to make adequate provision for those features of human life that require force against persons to be justified. Moral rights, such as the right to the truth, derive from team loyalty due fellow members of the moral community and can be lost by someone who acts in ways that undermine the moral enterprise. Part II provides detailed analyses of affirmative action, group rights, the rights of future generations, reproductive rights, the use of new reproductive technologies, and speech rights. Specific conclusions include an innovative proposal for regulating violence and pornography in the media.

Download or read book Trafficking of Human Beings from a Human Rights Perspective written by Tom Obokata and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been widely accepted that trafficking of human beings is a human rights issue. However, it has been difficult to address the human rights aspects of the phenomenon in practice, because a comprehensive analysis of applicable human rights norms and principles has not been fully developed, and therefore the nature of obligations imposed upon States is not entirely clear. The purpose of this book, then, is to establish a human rights framework to promote better understanding of the multi-faceted problems inherent in trafficking of human beings, articulate obligations imposed upon States, and facilitate a holistic approach. The book also contains chapters on case studies at the national, regional, and international levels, thereby combining the theory and practice.

Download or read book International Law Conflict and Development written by Walter Kälin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience and research have long shown an intrinsic link between human rights, conflict and development. This interdependence between different areas, doctrines, and disciplines calls for a genuinely coherent, holistic approach in International Affairs. With the challenges the work for the protection and respect of humanity encounters, this book intends to bring together articles and ideas that indicate the complexity of such an endeavor. The chapters, written by academics and practitioners encompass snapshots of crucial development lines as well as conceptual ideas and frameworks. In doing so the book provides insight to the principal understanding that peace efforts, encapsulating human rights, conflict management and development, can only be sustained and flourish as long as conflicting parties have at least a minimal consensus and will to settle their differences peacefully. As a Liber Amicorum for Joseph Voyame the book honors the determination for humanity and respect for human dignity and peaceful mitigation of conflict which marked his life and work.
Download or read book Restorative Justice in Practice written by Michael P. Seng and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays on restorative justice surveys the different contexts in which restorative justice can be utilized in the practice of law and elsewhere. Restorative justice is itself an elusive concept and the essays show how the meaning of restorative justice can shift depending upon the needs of the parties and the community. Restorative justice is not only related to criminal law and corrections. It is related to all aspects of life and law, including civil disputes, civil rights, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth and self-awareness. Consequently, the essays roam over many fields: housing discrimination, family disputes, the war on drugs, the death penalty, juvenile courts, the law school curriculum, torture, immigration, clergy sexual abuse, international conflicts, yoga, and self-healing. The book calls for action as well as reflection. Sheila M. Murphy is a retired Illinois trial judge. She was Presiding Judge of the Markham court. Its jurisdiction consisted of 37 towns and over 1 million people. Among the many cases she heard was the case of Verneal Jimerson who had been condemned to death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an instrument which addresses the circumstances which affect women's lives and enjoyment of rights in a diverse world, the CEDAW is slowly but surely making its mark on the development of international and national law. Using national case studies from South Asia, Southern Africa, Australia, Canada and Northern Europe, Women's Human Rights examines the potential and actual added value of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in comparison and interaction with other equality and anti-discrimination mechanisms. The studies demonstrate how state and non-state actors have invoked, adopted or resisted the CEDAW and related instruments in different legal, political, economic and socio-cultural contexts, and how the various international, regional and national regimes have drawn inspiration and learned from each other.

Download or read book Current Issues in Transitional Justice written by Natalia Szablewska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an inter-disciplinary scholarly resource bringing together contributions from writers, experienced academics and practitioners working in fields such as human rights, humanitarian law, public policy, psychology, cultural and peace studies, and earth jurisprudence. This collection of essays presents the most up to date knowledge and status of the field of transitional justice, and also highlights the emerging debates in this area, which are often overseen and underdeveloped in the literature. The volume provides a wide coverage of the arguments relating to controversial issues emanating from different regions of the world. The book is divided into four parts which groups different aspects of the problems and issues facing transitional justice as a field, and its processes and mechanisms more specifically. Part I concentrates on the traditional means and methods of dealing with past gross abuses of power and political violence. In this section, the authors also expand and often challenge the ways that these processes and mechanisms are conceptualised and introduced. Part II provides a forum for the contributors to share their first hand experiences of how traditional and customary mechanisms of achieving justice can be effectively utilised. Part III includes a collection of essays which challenges existing transitional justice models and provides new lenses to examine the formal and traditional processes and mechanisms. It aims to expose insufficiencies and some of the inherent practical and jurisprudential problems facing the field. Finally, Part IV, looks to the future by examining what remedies can be available today for abuses of rights of the future generations and those who have no standing to claim their rights, such as the environment.
Download or read book Granting Rights to Nature written by Sergio Dellavalle and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the modern Western moral, political and legal thought, only living individuals belonging to the human species have original rights. However, the claim has recently been made that inherent rights should also be acknowledged to entities which were formerly excluded from prima facia entitlements. Among the potential “new” rights bearers are entities belonging to the natural world, like sentient non-human animals, living beings in general, and even components of the natural environment like biotopes and ecosystems. Granting rights to natural entities has been vindicated by recurring to three different strategies. The first can be defined as the strategy of “rights as reasonable interests”: according to its core assumption, rights are to be granted to all entities that can be reasonably assumed to have identifiable interests related to their existence, for example an interest to flourish or not to feel pain. The second strategy argues that rights should be attributed to all entities that are characterized by an inherent and specific value derived from being part of an organic, long-established and highly complex network of mutual interactions within a holistic understanding of the world. The third strategy, finally, founds rights on the capacity of entities to carry out qualified agency, so that being a rights bearer depends on the capacity to display reflexive actions aiming at a certain purpose. The article analyses the consequences of the application of each strategy to every single dimension of the non-human natural world to which old or new rights are presumed to be attributed. Put differently, the first question will be on whether sentient non-human animals, living beings in general, or parts of the natural environment can be considered rights holders if we adopt the interest-based strategy. The following two sections will then address the same question with reference, respectively, to the holistic approach and to the agency strategy. The final section draws the conclusions from the previous analyses and sketches the outlines for a general theory of rights endowment to non-human entities in accordance with a revised and enhanced recognition-based approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a holistic approach to organization performance improvements by lessons learned management.

The presented model spans the entire life cycle of lessons learned: Starting from creating new lessons, moving on to knowledge refining and ending with smart integration into the organizational environment so future re-use of knowledge is enabled. The model also addresses other sources of organizational learning including quality processes and employee experience utilization.
Download or read book Holistic Government written by T. Anthony Kampner and published by Bookman Publishing & Marketing. This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holistic Government There are only two types of government. Representative government was attempted only once in the early days of the United States. Our founding fathers designed a constitution, which was the only known attempt to establish government of the people, by the people and for the people. As time has passed, we have drifted away from our founding ideals toward the only other type of government that has ever existed; government of the elite designed to control the people (their subjects). You will discover: ? We need to unite behind an idea, not a candidate. ? If you believe in human rights then you must believe that we are spiritual beings. ? If there is no God then people have no rights. ? If we have rights then we need to live by a moral code. ? The code that would be most universally acceptable is the American Ideal of: Truth, Justice and Individual Liberty. ? Secular Society is an atheistic state religion that allows our leaders to control society without any moral restrictions. ? The U.S. constitution is the blueprint for governing a spiritual people. It was designed to keep power decentralized. ? The American Ideal is our birthright and it can be restored if we rally around ideas rather than candidates.
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of New Human Rights written by Andreas von Arnauld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 939 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides in-depth insight to scholars, practitioners, and activists dealing with human rights, their expansion, and the emergence of 'new' human rights. Whereas legal theory tends to neglect the development of concrete individual rights, monographs on 'new' rights often deal with structural matters only in passing and the issue of 'new' human rights has received only cursory attention in literature. By bringing together a large number of emergent human rights, analysed by renowned human rights experts from around the world, and combining the analyses with theoretical approaches, this book fills this lacuna. The comprehensive and dialectic approach, which enables insights from individual rights to overarching theory and vice versa, will ensure knowledge growth for generalists and specialists alike. The volume goes beyond a purely legal analysis by observing the contestation, rhetorics, the struggle for recognition of 'new' human rights, thus speaking to human rights professionals beyond the legal sphere.
Download or read book Critical Spirituality written by Ms Fiona Gardner and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical spirituality is a way of naming a desire to work with what is meaningful in the context of enabling a socially just, diverse and inclusive society. Critical spirituality means seeing people holistically, seeking to understand where they are coming from and what matters to them at a fundamental level; the level that is part of the everyday but also transcends it. What is important in critical spirituality is to combine a postmodern valuing of individual experience of spirituality with all its diversity with a critical perspective that asserts the importance of living harmoniously and respectfully at an individual, family and community level. Human service professionals currently wrestle with the gradually increasing expectation to work with spirituality often without feeling capable of undertaking such practice. Some work with people experiencing major trauma or change such as palliative care or rehabilitation where people ask meaning of life questions to which they feel ill equipped to respond. Others work with individuals, families and communities experiencing conflict about spiritual issues. Increased migration and movement of refugees increases contact with people for whom spirituality is central. Such experiences raise a number of issues for existing professionals as well as students: what do we mean by spiritual? How does this relate to religion? How do we work with the spiritual in ways that recognise and value difference, without accepting abusive relationships? What are the limits to spiritual tolerance, if any? This book explores these issues and addresses the dilemmas and challenges experienced by professionals. It also provides a number of practical tools such as possible questions to ask to assess for spiritual issues; to see spirituality as part of a web of relationships.
