Download or read book Confessing the International Rights of Children written by Farhad Malekian and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the sphere of law, it is the recognition of its subjects – women, men, children and private or public entities – which has been the most prominent facet of national, regional or international relations. The dominance of the question of recognition has led to the development of the law and the maintenance of its provisions. Obviously, the legal effect of recognition is limited if rights are not implemented entirely. Simultaneously, justice cannot be done within the social structure of any society as long as the basic elements of that society do not properly protect the rights of children. Thus, the complexity one may expect of a legal issue is not just how to deal with the relevant issue in a court of justice, but how to prove that the machinery of justice does not own or use the appropriate documents necessary for the examination of the issue. This book on confessing the international rights of children brings together all international documents which are significant to the protection of the rights of children. The introduction to each document presented in the book demonstrates that there is not necessarily any particular need to prove the legal existence of children’s rights. They obviously exist with full rights, but the implementation of those rights is indeed not so easy. In addition, as a matter of principle, we must not forget that the natural personality of each child has not been created by national, regional or international documents, but by their very existence within our global environment, constituting human beings of their own age.

Download or read book Human Rights in Global Health written by Benjamin Mason Meier and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions matter for the advancement of human rights in global health. Given the dramatic development of human rights under international law and the parallel proliferation of global institutions for public health, there arises an imperative to understand the implementation of human rights through global health governance. This volume examines the evolving relationship between human rights, global governance, and public health, studying an expansive set of health challenges through a multi-sectoral array of global organizations. To analyze the structural determinants of rights-based governance, the organizations in this volume include those international bureaucracies that implement human rights in ways that influence public health in a globalizing world. This volume brings together leading health and human rights scholars and practitioners from academia, non-governmental organizations, and the United Nations system. They explore the foundations of human rights as a normative framework for global health governance, the mandate of the World Health Organization to pursue a human rights-based approach to health, the role of inter-governmental organizations across a range of health-related human rights, the influence of rights-based economic governance on public health, and the focus on global health among institutions of human rights governance. Contributing chapters each map the distinct human rights efforts within a specific institution of global governance for health. Through the comparative institutional analysis in this volume, the contributing authors examine institutional dynamics to operationalize human rights in organizational policies, programs, and practices and assess institutional factors that facilitate or inhibit human rights mainstreaming for global health advancement.

Download or read book The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child An Analysis of Treaty Provisions and Implications of U S Ratification written by Jonathan Todres and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. 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 Women s Rights in International Documents written by Winston Langley and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women suffer from historic deprivations that have no bearing either on their social contributions or their capabilities. A number of issues important to women are also the subject of hot debate-child care, reproductive rights, pay equity, job discrimination, and others. To help redress these inequities it is important to remember that these concerns have already been dealt with on an international level through certain human rights documents that bear uniquely on women. This book serves as a documentary source for these documents. Context and perspective on the instruments are also provided, enabling readers to assess their impact and to think further about the issues raised by them. Divided into seven parts-the U.N. Charter and the International Bill of Rights; Employment, Remuneration and Education; Nationality; Marriage, Family and Children; Prostitution and Slavery; Political Rights; and All Discriminations-each instrument is preceded by a brief summary of its context. When a section contains several documents, there is a short additional statement that explains their interrelationship. The Appendix reproduces two inter-American conventions which bear on women's rights and identifies a number of international conventions which, though largely superseded by the instrument whose contents are included in this volume, bear some historical importance.
Download or read book Documents of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights Volume 1 1987 1998 written by Rachel Murray and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2001-11-06 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen years since its establishment,the work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights has not received the attention that should have been paid to its important contributions towards the promotion and protection of human rights in Africa. The aim of this publication is to provide not only the basic documents, but also the less well known material related to the jurisprudence emanating from the consideration of communications. This volume therefore includes, amongst other material, the twelve activity reports adopted by the Commission, resolutions, and final communiqués from the sessions. This is the first attempt to reproduce comprehensively the many documents of the Commission adopted since its inception in 1987. It will be an essential reference for academics, students, and practitioners. The publication is produced in collaboration with the African Society for International and Comparative Law, the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria and Interights in London.
Download or read book The SAGE Handbook of Human Rights written by Anja Mihr and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 1136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SAGE Handbook of Human Rights will comprise a two volume set consisting of more than 50 original chapters that clarify and analyze human rights issues of both contemporary and future importance. The Handbook will take an inter-disciplinary approach, combining work in such traditional fields as law, political science and philosophy with such non-traditional subjects as climate change, demography, economics, geography, urban studies, mass communication, and business and marketing. In addition, one of the aspects of mainstreaming is the manner in which human rights has come to play a prominent role in popular culture, and there will be a section on human rights in art, film, music and literature. Not only will the Handbook provide a state of the art analysis of the discipline that addresses the history and development of human rights standards and its movements, mechanisms and institutions, but it will seek to go beyond this and produce a book that will help lead to prospective thinking.
