Download or read book Lexicon Of Human Rights Les D finitions des Droits de l Homme written by Cédric Viale and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains terms often found in international human rights instruments together with clear, authentic, objective and easily understandable definitions of them. Human rights are so fundamental and so important for everyone that all human rights documents should be understood by anyone, old or young, educated or uneducated, expert or non-expert. Yet many human rights conventions, declarations, instruments and volumes and papers are extremely hard to comprehend or are easily misunderstood because certain expressions and terms are not clearly defined, or are written in such a way that only those familiar with UN jargon can understand. This publication is a useful tool for those who face such difficulty in understanding UN human rights documents and other texts. The volume is easy to use, yet rich in detail, and will be an indispensable tool for practitioners, researchers and students of human rights law.
Download or read book The Limits of Human Rights written by Bardo Fassbender and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the limits of human rights, and what do these limits mean? This volume engages critically and constructively with this question to provide a distinct contribution to the contemporary discussion on human rights. Fassbender and Traisbach, along with a group of leading experts in the field, examine the issue from multiple disciplinary perspectives, analysing the limits of our current discourse of human rights. It does so in an original way, and without attempting to deconstruct, or deny, human rights. Each contribution is supplemented by an engaging comment which furthers this important discussion. This combination of perspectives paves the way for further thought for scholars, practitioners, students, and the wider public. Ultimately, this volume provides an exceptionally rich spectrum of viewpoints and arguments across disciplines to offer fresh insights into human rights and its limitations.

Download or read book L Islam La religion de l humanit written by Maulana Muhammad Ali and published by Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam Lahore USA. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livret de Maulana Muhammad Ali, le célèbre traducteur du Saint Coran, est peut-être l'une des meilleures courtes présentations de son œuvre la Religion de l'Islam. En l'espace de trente-cinq pages, Maulana Muhammad Ali offre une rétrospective concise mais pourtant complète de l'Islam. Les sujets traités dans le livret incluent la signification du nom Islam et quelques-unes de ses caractéristiques distinctives telles que la croyance en tous les prophètes, l'Unité de l'Humanité et l'origine commune de toutes les religions révélées de Dieu. L'auteur fait un compte-rendu succinct mais minutieux des principes fondamentaux de l'Islam comme le concept d'Être Divin, de Révélation Divine, de Prophètes, de Vie après la Mort, le concept des Anges et du Diable, et la signification de la Croyance. Les institutions de la Prière, du Jeûne et du Pèlerinage (Hajj) sont présentées non comme de purs rituels, mais plutôt comme des actes significatifs d'adoration qui, faisant office de fondements pour des actes de bénéfice à l'humanité, favorisent le développement spirituel. L'importance de la Charité (Zakat) et sa signification sont soulignées, et de fausses idées sont dissipées quant aux sujets de préoccupations tels les Droits des Femmes, et la valeur du Jihad en Islam.

Download or read book Rethinking the Age of Revolutions written by David A. Bell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the historiography on the age of democratic revolutions has seemed to come to a halt until recent years. Historians of this period have tried to develop new explanatory paradigms but there are few that have had a lasting impact. David A. Bell and Yair Mintzker seek to break through the narrow views of this period with research that reaches beyond the traditional geographical and chronological boundaries of the subject. Rethinking the Age of Revolutions brings together some of the most exciting and important research now being done on the French Revolutionary era, by prominent historians from North America and France. Adopting a variety of approaches, and tackling a wide variety of subjects, such as natural rights in the early modern world, the birth of celebrity culture and the phenomenon of modern political charisma, among others, this collection shows the continuing vitality and importance of the field. This is an important book not only for specialists, but for anyone interested in the origins of some of the most important issues in the politics and culture of the modern West.
Download or read book In the Cause of Humanity written by Fabian Klose and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Cause of Humanity is a major new history of the emergence of the theory and practice of humanitarian intervention during the nineteenth century when the question of whether, when and how the international community should react to violations of humanitarian norms and humanitarian crises first emerged as a key topic of controversy and debate. Fabian Klose investigates the emergence of legal debates on the protection of humanitarian norms by violent means, revealing how military intervention under the banner of humanitarianism became closely intertwined with imperial and colonial projects. Through case studies including the international fight against the slave trade, the military interventions under the banner of humanitarian aid for Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire, and the intervention of the United States in the Cuban War of Independence, he shows how the idea of humanitarian intervention established itself as a recognized instrument in international politics and international law.
