Download or read book Peremptory Norms of General International Law Jus Cogens and the Prohibition of Terrorism written by Aniel Caro de Beer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 ASIL Lieber prize! In Peremptory Norms of International Law and Terrorism (Jus Cogens) and the Prohibition of Terrorism, Aniel de Beer analyses the role of these norms (jus cogens norms) in the fight against terrorism. Jus cogens norms protect fundamental values of the international community, are hierarchically superior and non-derogable. The author argues, based on an analysis of the sources of international law, that the prohibition of terrorism has become the jus cogens norm of our time. She further considers the impact of the status of the prohibition of terrorism as a jus cogens norm on other norms of international law relevant in the fight against terrorism, namely the prohibition of torture, the right to a fair trial and the prohibition of the inter-state use of force.

Download or read book The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child written by Ton Liefaard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014 the world’s most widely ratified human rights treaty, one specifically for children, reached the milestone of its twenty-fifth anniversary. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in the time since then it has entered a new century, reshaping laws, policies, institutions and practices across the globe, along with fundamental conceptions of who children are, their rights and entitlements, and society’s duties and obligations to them. Yet despite its rapid entry into force worldwide, there are concerns that the Convention remains a high-level paper treaty without the traction on the ground needed to address ever-continuing violations of children’s rights. This book, based on papers from the conference ‘25 Years CRC’ held by the Department of Child Law at Leiden University, draws together a rich collection of research and insight by academics, practitioners, NGOs and other specialists to reflect on the lessons of the past 25 years, take stock of how international rights find their way into children’s lives at the local level, and explore the frontiers of children’s rights for the 25 years ahead.

Download or read book The Routledge History of Human Rights written by Jean Quataert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge History of Human Rights is an interdisciplinary collection that provides historical and global perspectives on a range of human rights themes of the past 150 years. The volume is made up of 34 original contributions. It opens with the emergence of a "new internationalism" in the mid-nineteenth century, examines the interwar, League of Nations, and the United Nations eras of human rights and decolonization, and ends with the serious challenges for rights norms, laws, institutions, and multilateral cooperation in the national security world after 9/11. These essays provide a big picture of the strategic, political, and changing nature of human rights work in the past and into the present day, and reveal the contingent nature of historical developments. Highlighting local, national, and non-Western voices and struggles, the volume contributes to overcoming Eurocentric biases that burden human rights histories and studies of international law. It analyzes regions and organizations that are often overlooked. The volume thus offers readers a new and broader perspective on the subject. International in coverage and containing cutting-edge interpretations, the volume provides an overview of major themes and suggestions for future research. This is the perfect book for those interested in social justice, grass roots activism, and international politics and society.

This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth text goes beyond the rhetoric of the debate on children’s rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in particular, to provide a detailed examination of the impact that U.S. ratification of the Convention would have on U.S. law. The chapters have been written by leading children’s advocates and scholars with a general audience in mind, as the authors believe that it is important for all Americans to become informed about the Convention and about children’s rights in general. With a greater understanding of the substance of the Convention and children’s rights, readers will be better positioned to determine what the real issues are, what is simply rhetoric without any basis in fact or law, and how they can address the real issues in an effective manner in order to provide a better world for all children.

Download or read book Patterns on discriminations against woman written by Alessia Carnevale and published by Passerino Editore. This book was released on 2022-04-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recognition of women’s human rights has been taking place on the global stage in the last two decades implying a parallel rethinking of human rights conceptions. Since 1980 and 1990, feminists has increasingly criticized mainstreaming interpretation of human rights as stemming from male bias, ensuring that women’s human rights require a comprehensive understanding of societal structures and power relations influencing women ability to enjoy, freely and without any kind of discrimination, their rights. Since power structures affect and involve all aspect of human life, from law to politics, from private to public and community life, specific attention to women’s experiences of discrimination and oppression is required. The adoption of the Convention Against all Forms of Discrimination against Women, certainly represents a fundamental depart from gender-neutral language in international human rights discourses, towards the recognition of specific nature of discrimination against women, acknowledging previous advancements of women’s rights and promoting a progressive affirmation of women’s rights as women’s human rights. This long and detailed negotiation process taking place within United Nations structures and led by women’s rights group and NGOs, culminated in the adoption of Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action of the World Conference on Human Rights held in 1993, affirming that human rights of women are inalienable, integral and indivisible part of universal human rights. The articulation of women’ s rights as human rights implied the principle of universality had overcome claims to cultural relativist discourses while at the same time recognizing women and generally individuals free choice to embed themselves in cultural activities and practices that reflect their sense of identity, individually and or collectively, and to freely express symbols of cultural belonging. Secondly, the articulation of women’s rights as human rights overcome the public/ private divide through affirmation of due diligence standards, allowing to determine whether concerned State has taken effective steps to comply with its human rights obligations. In practice, States are required to address social and cultural patterns perpetuating subjection of women in society and stereotyped role. The Plan of Action of International Women Conference in Beijing in 1995 reflects this approach while affirming the significance of national and religious particularities in various historical, cultural and religious systems must be kept in mind, nonetheless is the duty of States, regardless of their political, economic and cultural system to protect and promote all human rights and fundamental freedoms. Despite these values and principles, shared by international community, have been officially enshrined in international human rights law and policy framework, at the same time the difficulties these rules encounter to be accepted as binding and be implemented and enforced into domestic legal and policy framework, emanate from the resistance of many States to assume human rights paradigm as comprehensive of national and regional instances. Alessia Carnevale has graduated in Human Rights and Multi-Level Governance from University of Padua and in Political Sciences and International Relations from University of Naples "L'Orientale". She has been awarded by Fondazione Alessandro Pavesi with the scholarship "Alessandro Pavesi on human rights" in 2019. Passionate about African studies and traveling, she decided to work on the role of African women to foster food security under a human rights approach, specifically in Senegal, inspired by her experience in this country. Indeed she completed in 2014 a stage as project leader involved with the Senegalese team of AIESEC, a youth run global NGO.
Download or read book Human Rights and Incarceration written by Elizabeth Stanley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection considers human rights and incarceration in relation to the liberal-democratic states of Australia, New Zealand and the UK. It presents original case-study material on groups that are disproportionately affected by incarceration, including indigenous populations, children, women, those with disabilities, and refugees or ‘non-citizens’. The book considers how and why human rights are eroded, but also how they can be built and sustained through social, creative, cultural, legal, political and personal acts. It establishes the need for pragmatic reforms as well as the abolition of incarceration. Contributors consider what has, or might, work to secure rights for incarcerated populations, and they critically analyse human rights in their legal, socio-cultural, economic and political contexts. In covering this ground, the book presents a re-invigorated vision of human rights in relation to incarceration. After all, human rights are not static principles; they have to be developed, fought over and engaged with.
