Download or read book Human Rights Defenders and the Law written by Núria Saura-Freixes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive examination of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders and provides an analysis of the level of its reflection in regional human rights systems. The work explores the development of the role of the individual in human rights protection since the 1998 United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. It locates the nature, activities and need for protection of human rights defenders within the current international legal framework and outlines the place and scope for a specific right to promote and protect human rights. It traces the origins of the right and the main international instruments that define it, both at national and international level. Finally, it considers the impact that the right to defend human rights can have on constitutional and international law. The book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of International Human Rights Law and Constitutional Law.

Download or read book Effective Governance Under Anarchy written by Tanja A. Börzel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy makers and academics alike have mistakenly promoted an agenda which takes well-governed democratic and consolidated 'Weberian' states as the model for the world and the goal of development programs. Whilst Western industrial democracies are the exception, areas of limited statehood where state institutions are weak and ineffective, are everywhere, and, this books argues, can still be well-governed. Three factors explain effective governance in areas of limited statehood: Fair and transparent institutions 'fit for purpose,' legitimate governors accepted by the people, and social trust among the citizens. Effective and legitimate governance in the absence of a functioning state is not only provided by international organizations, foreign aid agencies, and non-governmental organizations but also by multi-national companies, rebel groups and other violent non-state actors, 'traditional' as well as religious leaders, and community-based organizations. Börzel and Risse base their argument on empirical findings from over a decade of research covering Latin America, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia.

Download or read book The Human Rights City written by Michele Grigolo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are used to thinking of human rights as a matter for state governments to deal with. Much less investigated is the question of what cities do with them, even though urban communities and municipalities have been discussing human rights for quite some time. In this volume, Grigolo borrows the concept of ‘the human rights city’ to invite us to think about a new urban utopia: a place where human rights strive to guide urban life. By turning the question of the meaning and use of human rights in cities into the object of critical investigation, this book tracks the genesis, institutionalisation and implementation of human rights in cities, focussing on New York, San Francisco and Barcelona. Touching also upon matters such as women’s rights, LGBT rights and migrant rights, The Human Rights City emphasises how human rights can serve urban justice but also a neoliberal practice of the city. This book is a useful resource for scholars and students interested in fields such as Sociology of Human Rights, Sociology of Law, International Law, Urban Sociology, Political Sociology and Social Policies.

Download or read book Catalunya I California written by Lowell Lewis and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalonia Un país conegut pel seu esperit competitiu Durant els últims 300 anys, Catalonia ha estat una regió singular d'Europa. Ni espanyola, ni francesa: catalana. La seva singularitat és evident per la llengua, tot i que és molt més real per la forma que té de plantejar-se el comerç, el desenvolupament econòmic, l'educació i la política. Catalonia va ser una de les primeres regions del món que va adoptar una metodologia enfocada a estimular la competitivitat en una zona geogràfica concreta, millorant l'estratègia i el context laboral de les seves empreses. Actualment, hi ha arguments econòmics i empresarials de pes per defensar la independència de Catalonia. Històricament, el desenvolupament de Califòrnia deu molt a Catalonia i a dos catalans, Juníper Serra i Gaspar de Portolà. El 16 de juliol de 1769, Serra va iniciar la seva primera missió a San Diego, abans de dur-ne a terme nou més tot resseguint la costa californiana fins a San Francisco. Gaspar de Portolà va néixer a Os de Balaguer (Lleida) l'any 1716, era soldat i va ser governador de Califòrnia.
Download or read book Global Urban Justice written by Barbara Oomen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities increasingly base their local policies on human rights. Human rights cities promise to forge new alliances between urban actors and international organizations, to enable the 'translation' of the abstract language of human rights to the local level, and to develop new practices designed to bring about global urban justice. This book brings together academics and practitioners at the forefront of human rights cities and the 'right to the city' movement to critically discuss their history and also the potential that human rights cities hold for global urban justice.
Download or read book Urban Growth and the Circular Economy written by S. Syngellakis and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented at the 1st International Conference on Urban Growth and the Circular Economy that was held in Alicante, Spain the papers included in this book focus on the continuing and rapid growth of cities and their regions of influence and how that has led to the need to find new solutions which allow for promoting their sustainable development. The quest for the Sustainable City has until recently focused on the efficient use of resources with the application of technical advances giving rise to the definition of SMART Cities. The economic model emphasised however is still “linear” in the sense that the design and consumption follows the pattern of extraction of natural resources, manufacturing, product usage and waste disposal. The continuous growth of urban population has recently given rise to the emergence of a new model which responds better to the challenges of natural resource depletion as well as waste management. This model has been called the “circular economy”. The circular economy is a recent concept based on the reuse of what up to now has been considered wastes, reintroducing them into the productive cycle. The objective of the circular economy is to reduce consumption and achieve savings in terms of raw materials, water and energy, thus contributing to the preservation of resources in order to reach sustainable development. One of the most important of these resources is water which is becoming a scarce commodity in an ever expanding world whose population demands a better standard of living. Water is required for agricultural purposes as well as by industry, in addition to its use by the general population. The recycling of water is an essential component of the circular economy. There is no possibility for the success of a long term economic policy without addressing the problems of natural resources and environmental pollution, which will affect the reuse of materials and products. The current market economy based on a linear model from resource extraction, manufacturing, consumption and waste disposal, has not proved a long term suitable solution, in spite of the substantial efforts made in reducing its environmental impacts. This is largely due to the continuous population growth, in a society that demands high standards of living, thus requiring an ever increasing share of natural resources.

Download or read book The Universal Declaration of Human Rights written by Humberto Cantu Rivera and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly marked a groundbreaking moment in the field of international law. Not only would it start to move away from its original conception as an exclusively State-centered domain: it would also mark the progressive transformation of international law into a law for humankind. This instrument started a codification and institution-building process that would slowly evolve into a complex framework of treaties, bodies and procedures revolving around the protection of the human being against the actions – or omissions – of the State. This commentary provides a specific analysis and reflection of how each one of the rights enshrined therein have evolved over time.

Download or read book The Police and International Human Rights Law written by Ralf Alleweldt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an updated overview of current international human rights law relating to the police. Around the globe, the police have a special responsibility for the protection of human rights. Police work is governed by national rules and in addition, in today’s world, by the evolving international human rights standards. As a result of the ever-developing case law of international courts and other bodies, the requirements of human rights law on policing have become more and more detailed and complex in recent years. Bringing together a variety of distinguished authors from academia, police forces and other government authorities, the human rights movement, and international organizations, the book discusses topical issues, including the use of deadly force, the prevention of torture, effective investigations, the protection of personal data, and positive obligations of the police.
