This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La institución de la responsabilidad internacional penal del individuo por violaciones graves del derecho internacional humanitario y de los derechos humanos se consagró tras los juicios de los tribunales penales internacionales de Nüremberg y Tokio (1945- 1946). Éste acontecimiento sentó las bases para evitar que en el futuro los responsables de cometer crímenes horrorosos, sobre todo contra personas civiles durante un conflicto armado internacional, quedaran impunes. Sin embargo, la implementación de este tipo de responsabilidad no volvió a escenificarse nuevamente por la ausencia de conflictos armados que involucrasen directamente a potencias militares y se aplicara la justicia de los vencedores hacia los vencidos, más bien los grandes conflictos armados dejaron de ser internacionales, dificultando por tanto que surgiera un nuevo episodio de rendición de cuentas. Por otro lado, la Guerra Fría que libró a la humanidad de un enfrentamiento bélico a escala apocalíptica entre las superpotencias Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética, degeneró en un problema quizás mayor que el provocado durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial contra las personas civiles, y es que al interior de diversos Estados recién formados producto de la descolonización y guerras de independencia, particularmente en África y Asia, y Estados dirigidos por gobiernos dictatoriales o regímenes militares poco democráticos como lo sucedido en la mayoría de los Estados latinoamericanos, la guerra ideológica de las superpotencias desencadenó el surgimiento de conflictos armados internos en esos Estados, en cuyo contexto no estaba totalmente claro si la implementación de la responsabilidad internacional penal del individuo en esos escenarios podría tener cabida; y mientras ello ocurría, miles de seres humanos perecían, en su mayoría personas civiles, sin que tuvieran ninguna vinculación con los combatientes...

This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La creación de un grupo de investigación de derecho internacional humanitario supone un doble reto. Por un lado, la dificultad de recoger las diferentes visiones con respecto al papel del Estado en escenarios de conflicto armado. Por otro, la consciencia de que la búsqueda de teorizaciones sobre el conflicto armado se cimienta sobre las pérdidas y profundos dolores de las víctimas. Este grupo de investigación conformado por Édgar Solano González, Manuela Losada Chavarro, María Camila Medina García y María Alejandra Osorio Alvis ha podido asumir ese reto con el apoyo incondicional del doctor Humberto Sierra Porto, director del Departamento de Derecho Constitucional. Esta obra colectiva es el resultado del interés de la comunidad académica y jurídica que de manera desinteresada aceptó nuestro llamado a construir Estado desde la perspectiva teórica del conflicto armado. Gracias a las autoras y los autores que participaron en estos libros podemos entregar un producto que espera fortalecer la dogmática del derecho internacional humanitario en Colombia y Latinoamérica

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises written by Dr. Cecilia Menjívar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises is to deconstruct, question, and redefine through a critical lens what is commonly understood as "migration crises." The volume covers a wide range of historical, economic, social, political, and environmental conditions that generate migration crises around the globe. At the same time, it illuminates how the media and public officials play a major role in framing migratory flows as crises. The volume brings together an exceptional group of scholars from around the world to critically examine migration crises and to revisit the notion of crisis through the context in which permanent and non-permanent migration flows occur. The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises offers an understanding of individuals in societies, socio-economic structures, and group processes. Focusing on migrants' departures and arrivals in all continents, this comprehensive handbook explores the social dynamics of migration crises, with an emphasis on factors that propel these flows as well as the actors that play a role in classifying them and in addressing them. The volume is organized into nine sections. The first section provides a historical overview of the link between migration and crises. The second looks at how migration crises are constructed, while the third section contextualizes the causes and effects of protracted conflicts in producing crises. The fourth focuses on the role of climate and the environment in generating migration crises, while the fifth section examines these migratory flows in migration corridors and transit countries. The sixth section looks at policy responses to migratory flows, The last three sections look at the role media and visual culture, gender, and immigrant incorporation play in migration crises.

Download or read book International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law written by Roberta Arnold and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses the current issue of the applicability and application of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in times of armed conflict. Scholars chronologically argued that only international humanitarian law was applicable, that both legal regimes were applicable, and eventually that international humanitarian law was the lex specialis of human rights law. The most recent trend is to state that international humanitarian law and human rights law are merging into a single set of rules, a proposition that is the focus of the investigations carried out in this book. The book examines general issues relating to applicability and the implementation of the two legal regimes as well as provides case studies focusing on specific rights or persons. [The cover of this publication displays a patchwork symbolizing the merger between international humanitarian law and human rights. Neither the publisher nor the editors intended the design to reproduce the protected Red Cross emblem. Any resemblance to the Red Cross emblem is purely coincidental]

Download or read book What Happened to the Women written by Ruth Rubio-Marín and published by SSRC. This book was released on 2006 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to women whose lives are affected by human rights violations? What happens to their testimony in court or in front of a truth commission? Women face a double marginalization under authoritarian regimes and during and after violent conflicts. Yet reparations programs are rarely designed to address the needs of women victims. What Happened to the Women? Gender and Reparations for Human Rights Violations emphasizes the necessity of a gender dimension in reparations programs to improve their handling of female victims and their families. A joint project of the International Center for Transitional Justice and Canada's International Development Research Centre, What Happened to the Women? includes studies of gender and reparations policies in Guatemala, Peru, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Timor-Leste. Contributors represent a wide range of fields related to transitional justice and include international human rights lawyers, members of truth and reconciliation commissions, and NGO representatives.

Download or read book Refuge from Inhumanity War Refugees and International Humanitarian Law written by David Cantor and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to a long-standing but ever topical debate about whether persons fleeing war to seek asylum in another country – ‘war refugees’ – are protected by international law. It seeks to add to this debate by bringing together a detailed set of analyses examining the extent to which the application of international humanitarian law (IHL) may usefully advance the legal protection of such persons. This generates a range of questions about the respective protection frameworks established under international refugee law and IHL and, specifically, the potential for interaction between them. As the first collection to deal with the subject, the eighteen chapters that make up this unique volume supply a range of perspectives on how the relationship between these two separate fields of law may be articulated and whether IHL may contribute to providing refuge from the inhumanity of war.

Download or read book Refugees from Armed Conflict written by Vanessa Holzer and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed conflicts are a major cause of forced displacement, but people displaced by conflict are often not recognized as refugees under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. They are frequently considered as having fled from generalized violence rather than from persecution. This book determines the international meaning of the refugee definition in Article 1A(2) of the Convention as regards refugee protection claims related to situations of armed conflict in the country of origin. Although the human rights based interpretation of the refugee definition is widely accepted, the interpretation and application of the Convention as regards claims to refugee status that relate to armed conflict is often marred with difficulties. Moreover, contexts of armed conflict pose the question of whether and to what extent the refugee definition should be interpreted in light of international humanitarian law. This book identifies the potential and limits of this interpretative approach. Starting from the history of international refugee law, the book situates the 1951 Convention within the international legal framework for the protection of the individual in armed conflict. It examines the refugee definition in light of human rights, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law, focusing on the elements of the refugee definition that most benefit from this interpretative approach: persecution and the requirement that the refugee claimant's predicament must be causally linked to the race, religion, nationality, and/or membership of a particular social group or political opinion.

Download or read book From Transitional to Transformative Justice written by Paul Gready and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitional justice has become the principle lens used by countries emerging from conflict and authoritarian rule to address the legacies of violence and serious human rights abuses. However, as transitional justice practice becomes more institutionalized with support from NGOs and funding from Western donors, questions have been raised about the long-term effectiveness of transitional justice mechanisms. Core elements of the paradigm have been subjected to sustained critique, yet there is much less commentary that goes beyond critique to set out, in a comprehensive fashion, what an alternative approach might look like. This volume discusses one such alternative, transformative justice, and positions this quest in the wider context of ongoing fall-out from the 2008 global economic and political crisis, as well as the failure of social justice advocates to respond with imagination and ambition. Drawing on diverse perspectives, contributors illustrate the wide-ranging purchase of transformative justice at both conceptual and empirical levels.

Download or read book Out of the Ashes written by Koen Feyter and published by Intersentia nv. This book was released on 2005 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, the issue of reparation for victims of gross and systematic human rights violations has given rise to intense debates at the national and the international level. Discussions particularly arise in post-conflict situations characterised by serious violations of human rights, such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other forms of injustice of the past. Crucial questions include: what harm inflicted to victims warrants reparation? when and how to repair the harm? who is eligible for reparation and who has the duty to repair? These and other questions raise many challenging issues for theory and practice. This volume contains the contributions presented at an international conference in Brussels, in February 2005, on the right to reparation for victims of serious human rights violations. It also includes the final report of a research project undertaken jointly at the Universities of Antwerp (UA) and Leuven (K.U.Leuven) between 2000 and 2004 on the right to reparation in international law for victims of gross and systematic human rights violations, both from a legal and a socio-political perspective. The present volume is aimed at academics, policy-makers, national and international courts and tribunals, the legal professions, and civil society at large.
