2	An elusive peace dividend : land access and violence in non-formal settlements in Juba, Southern Sudan McMichael, Gabriella Marie January 2013 (has links) This research explores the tensions between non-formal land access, violence and urban land policy in the post-conflict city of Juba in Southern Sudan. It departs from the conventional notion of rights to land based on property rights to a broader concept of ‘access’ to investigate the means, processes and relations within society, or ‘mechanisms’, by which individuals attempt to gain and maintain access to non-formal settlement land, how this is controlled and the connections to violence. Moving beyond current dualist frameworks used to understand informality, this research aims to unpack the formal and non-formal institutions in the city whose interplay results in unequal opportunities for individuals to access urban land and how violence is both a mechanism and outcome of this. Using a mixed methods methodology, the research was carried out in Juba and three of its non-formal settlements that have emerged at different times during the city’s approximately ninety-year history. It used mainly in-depth interviews, group discussions, participant observation, structured settlement surveys and semi-structured key informant interviews. As the ‘new’ capital of a multi-ethnic region that has experienced decades of civil war, Juba provides fertile ground to explore these issues. Firstly, by tracing the evolution of the region’s political economy the research shows how, rather than being a new phenomenon, exploitation by government and violence have been integral features of urban land management in the region. Secondly, by considering Juba’s development it shows how violence underpins contemporary settlement patterns in the post-conflict period. Thirdly, by providing case studies of three non-formal settlements it details the evolvement from a sense of community to more segregated practices where land access is becoming highly ethnicised, reflecting broader tensions in the region. Finally, it shows how both ethnic tensions and unclear legislation are being instrumentalised by a web of powerful actors who, whether through coercion, deception or violence, are undermining urban planning in the post-conflict city for their own benefit, and hence the ability of non-formal inhabitants to access land. The research concludes that partly due to the formative nature of institutions controlling urban land access, violence has not ended in the post-conflict period but remains integral. Nevertheless, whilst approaches to non-formal settlements may be seen as a consequence of the persistence of dysfunctional institutions, it also relates to the post-conflict political economy that is emerging in Southern Sudan and the extent to which urban land access is facilitated by connections with the urban political or military elite. As a result, for hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons, returnees, combatants and ex-combatants the ‘peace dividend’ is compromised. In an urban environment hostile to their presence, they have no choice but to settle in non-formal settlements that, rather than being a solution to their shelter needs, leave them exposed to exploitation by a range of powerful actors. 333.73
3	The accountability of UN post-conflict administrations for violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law Uyar Abatay, Lema January 2013 (has links) The thesis explores the extent to which the UN post-conflict administrations are accountable towards the populations of the territories they administer. The post-conflict administrations temporarily assume legislative and administrative powers to support the peace processes, to help to resolve the sovereignty issues or to establish administrative structures that might be non-existent in these territories. The thesis argues that, while the exercise of these extensive powers entails the accountability of the UN, in practice this accountability is not effectively engaged. As opposed to other forms of accountability, the focus is on the international legal responsibility of the UN as the prominent and most meaningful form of accountability, in the accountability relationship between the administrator and the administered, which gives the populations of the administered territories the opportunity to challenge the acts of international administrations and seek redress. In exploring the legal responsibility of the UN and in line with Article 4 of the ILC Draft Articles on the Responsibility of International Organizations, which states only an act of an international organization that constitutes a breach of an international obligation entails its responsibility, this thesis initially explores the extent of international obligations arising from, and the extent of applicability of, three bodies of law. First, the thesis discusses the applicability of international humanitarian law, the fundamental principles of which have traditionally been part of UN peace operations practice. Next, it considers the applicability of the law of occupation, which shares stark factual similarities with the UN post-conflict administrations. Finally, the applicability of international human rights law, which is consistently part of the applicable law in post-conflict territories, and the protection and promotion of which is consistently included in the mandates of post-conflict administrations is examined. The thesis argues that the simultaneous application these bodies of law would help to create a legal framework to engage the accountability of UN post-conflict administrations and this legal framework should be complemented by effective accountability mechanisms. 341.5
4	Peace as societal transformation : intergenerational power-struggles and the role of youth in post-conflict Sierra Leone Boersch-Supan, Johanna January 2012 (has links) Intergenerational solidarity and reciprocity are fundamental building blocks of any society. At the same time, socio-generational groups constantly struggle for influence and authority. In Sub-Saharan Africa, disproportionately male, gerontocratic and patrimonial systems governing economic, social and political life lend a special explosiveness to the social cleavage of generation. This dissertation draws on the concept of the generational contract to explore whether Sierra Leone’s decade-long civil war (1991-2001) – labelled a ‘revolt of youth’ – catalysed changes in the power-asymmetries between age groups. Based on fieldwork conducted between 2007 and 2010, I argue that youth in post-war Sierra Leone question fundamental norms of intergenerational relations and challenge local governance structures demanding changes to the generational contract. Amidst a strong continuity of gerontocratic dominance and counter-strategies from elders, youth draw on organisational forms and a local rights discourse to create spaces for contestation and negotiation. These openings hold potential for long-term rearrangements of societal relations in the medium to long-term future. 966.404

For Seventh-Day Adventists, the Sabbath observance is a proof of fidelity and loyalty faithful to their God. It is a matter of obedience to sacred time reserved by the eternal and immutable law of God. It is an indispensable dogma and a bond with God from the beginning to its end. According to the followers of Adventist religion the Seventh-Day Sabbath is the center of worship and service to God and establishes such an understanding in the books of Exodus 20, 8-11, Leviticus 23, 32 and Deuteronomy 16, 6 respectively. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the question of the characteristics of the guard of the "Sabbath" by followers of Adventist religion Seventh-Day, their biblical interpretation. The practice of Sabbath guard presented as a collision of fundamental rights and principles. The right to education and work in conflict with the right to religious freedom, both public, and private, especially regarding the provision of public procurement and in the educational environment and with respect to the practice of secular and labor activities on sabbatical from the sunset of Friday to the sunset of Saturday. / A presente tese analisa o conflito de direitos e deveres motivados pela guarda do “sábado bíblico” ou “sábado natural” por seguidores da religião Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Para os Adventistas do Sétimo Dia, a observância do sábado é uma prova de fidelidade e lealdade do fiel para com o seu Deus. É uma questão de obediência ao tempo sagrado reservado pela lei eterna e imutável de Deus. É um dogma irrenunciável e um laço com Deus desde o seu início até o seu fim. De acordo com os adeptos da religião Adventista do Sétimo Dia, o sábado é o centro da adoração e culto a Deus e fundamentam tal entendimento nos livros de Êxodo 20,8-11, Levítico 23,32 e Deuteronômio 16,6, respectivamente. O objetivo da presente tese é analisar as características da questão da guarda do “sábado” por adeptos da religião Adventista do Sétimo Dia e sua interpretação bíblica. A prática da guarda sabática apresenta-se como uma colisão de direitos e princípios fundamentais. O direito à educação e ao trabalho em conflito com o direito à liberdade religiosa, tanto na esfera pública, quanto particular, principalmente com relação à prestação de concursos públicos e no meio educacional e com relação à prática de atividades seculares e laborais no período sabático, do pôr-do-sol de sexta-feira ao pôr-do-sol do sábado.

6	Investigating the conflict between freedom of religion and Freedom of expression under the South African constitution Jurgens, Hishaam January 2012 (has links) Magister Legum - LLM / This mini-thesis is based on the presumption that the Danish cartoons and the anti-Muslim clip posted on YouTube as forms of expression, ridiculed the religious beliefs and practices of Muslims which in turn affected the exercise of religious freedom as it violated the dignity of the bearers of the right to freedom of religion and therefore a conflict between the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression exists. The above incidence of conflict between the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression involves infringing the freedom of religion of the Islamic community. Blasphemy in Islam is speech that is insulting to God, but during the course of Muslim history it has become increasingly linked with insult to the Prophet Muhammad. In Islam the depiction of the Prophet Muhammad in any way is strictly forbidden and is considered blasphemous.

Antes da tutela constitucional, analisaremos o processo de afirmação histórica dos direitos humanos, através do reconhecimento das três diferentes dimensões de direitos. Na pesquisa, destacaremos a relevante atuação da ONU na formação do sistema internacional de direitos humanos. O direito à moradia se insere na segunda dimensão dos direitos humanos e se consolida com a superação do Estado Liberal e o advento do Estado Social de Direito. O direito ao meio ambiente teve seu reconhecimento mais tarde no cenário internacional, após a segunda guerra mundial, tendo como ponto de partida os tratados para não utilização de armas nucleares. Os direitos humanos, antes de integrarem o sistema internacional e o ordenamento interno dos Estados, são anunciados na forma de movimentos sociais. Assim, observaremos a participação da soci / The objective of this dissertation is to study the conflict between the right to housing and the environmental right both in the light of the Brazilian constitutional law and the theory of the fundamental rights. Before considering the constitutional tutelage, we will analyze the process of historic affirmation of the human rights by recognizing the three different dimensions of rights. In our research we will put emphasis on the relevant action of the UN in the formation of the international system of human rights. The right to housing fits in the second dimension of human rights and is consolidated with the advent of the Social State of Law after the Liberal State has been surmounted. The right to the environment was recognized later in the international scene, after the World War II, whose starting point was treaties on the non-use of nuclear weapons. The human rights are announced in the form of social movements before they become part of both the international system and the internal order of States.

8	La bioéthique et les contradictions normatives du droit international Marechal, Romain 22 July 2013 (has links) Le droit international de la bioéthique, construction récente affiliée au système des droits de l'homme, s'élabore au carrefour de plusieurs ordres normatifs et sollicite, du point de vue de sa mise en œuvre, l'intervention d'une multitude de systèmes de régulation et de systèmes juridiques. Dans le contexte d'une crise de la régulation et compte tenu de la complexification et de la fragmentation du droit international, cette thèse propose de reconstruire une ontologie unitaire de l'ordre juridique international à partir d'une critique de l'épistémologie positiviste et de la conception de la mécanique normative qu'elle suppose. La bioéthique qui se conçoit comme une discipline de questionnement critique des principes qui fondent l'action humaine, opère tel un révélateur des contradictions normatives qui agissent au cœur de la structure des systèmes et des ordres juridiques. Ainsi, à partir de l'étude des conflits de valeurs, des conflits de normes, des conflits de droits, des conflits de systèmes juridiques et compte tenu de l'analyse des méthodes de neutralisation et de résolution mise en œuvre, au sein des différents systèmes juridiques, pour les traiter, cette thèse démontre la nécessité de concevoir le droit international comme un système dynamique, composé de normes et d'institutions entretenant entre eux des rapports de légitimité et d'effectivité, dont l'évolution générale est caractérisée par la non-linéarité. Dans cette perspective, cette thèse invite à concevoir la constitutionnalisation du droit international comme un processus dialectique impliquant une multitude de systèmes juridiques et institutionnels. / Bioethics in the field of human rights is a recent corpus of the international law. Biolaw instruments' had been elaborated at the crossroads of several normative orders.Their implementation requires the mobilization of a multitude of regulation systems. In the context of a crisis of legal regulation and considering the complexity and fragmentation of international law, this thesis suggests reconstructing a unified ontology of international law based on a critical appreciation of positivist epistemology. Bioethics, conceived as a critical discipline used to question principles which orient and justify human actions, reveals normative contradictions embedded in the structure of legal systems. Based on the study of conflicts between ethical values or between fundamental rights, norms conflict, conflict between legal systems and after having analyzed the methods used by international institutions to neutralize or resolve such contradictions, this thesis demonstrate the necessity to conceive international legal order as a dynamic system composed with heterogeneous norms and institutions linked by legitimacy and effectivity relationships. The evolution of international law can be characterized by non linearity and constitutionalization of international legal order appears as a dialectical process which requires the intervention of multiple international institutions and legal sub-systems.

9	Etude critique des droits fondamentaux. / Critical study of fundamental rights Ballot, Élodie 18 February 2012 (has links) Les droits fondamentaux visent à la protection et à l’épanouissement de la personne humaine. Ils suscitent l’engouement et la controverse. Adossés à des textes internationaux et européens, mais provenant aussi de la réception du terme allemand « Grundrechte », diffusés tant en droit public qu’en droit privé, ils font l’objet de différentes analyses, spécialement en droit public, afin de déterminer leur signification, leurs fonctions, et leur régime. Il apparaît que les recherches conduites en doctrine ne permettent pas d’appréhender le concept de « droit fondamental » avec certitude. En effet, il n’existe pas de conception unique de la notion, les droits fondamentaux apparaissent comme une catégorie juridique insaisissable. Faute de définition claire, ils se distinguent difficilement des notions de « droits de l’Homme » ou de « libertés publiques ». Leur nature juridique est également incertaine. Pour ces raisons, ils constituent un ensemble hétéroclite difficile à délimiter et il convient de regretter que le droit international et le droit européen, pourtant riches en affirmations péremptoires, n'apportent pas un éclairage satisfaisant. La réalisation des droits fondamentaux est également imparfaite. D’une part, ils sont l'objet d'une surenchère caractérisée par une prolifération normative tant en droit interne qu’en droit international. Celle-ci n'est guère maîtrisée et mène à d’inévitables conflits qui, en l’absence d’une hiérarchie clairement établie, sont souvent irréductibles. D’autre part, les techniques de protection des droits fondamentaux s’avèrent insuffisantes notamment en raison de leur instrumentalisation par les différents juges. Les solutions jurisprudentielles sont dès lors imprévisibles et participent au phénomène de l’insécurité juridique. / Fundamental rights aim to protect and develop the human person. They provoke passion and controversy. Supported by international and European texts but also stemming from the German term “Grundrechte”, circulated in public law as well as in private law, they are subject to different analyses, especially in public law, in order to determine their meaning, their functions and their system. It seemed that the research conducted in doctrine does not enable the comprehension of the concept of “fundamental right” for certain. Indeed, a single concept of the notion does not exist, fundamental rights are seen as an imperceptible legal category. Due to the lack of a clear definition, it is difficult to set them apart from notions of “Human Rights” or “Civil Liberties”. Their legal nature is equally uncertain. For these reasons, they constitute a heterogeneous unity which is difficult to define and unfortunately international law and European law, though rich in peremptory assertions, does not provide a satisfactory perspective. The implementation of fundamental rights is equally as imperfect. On the one hand, they are subject to an outbidding characterised by a normative proliferation in domestic law as well as in international law. This is hardly controlled and leads to inevitable conflicts which, in the absence of a clearly established hierarchy, are often relentless. On the other hand, the techniques of protecting fundamental rights prove to be insufficient in particular, due to their manipulation by different judges. The judicial solutions are henceforth unpredictable and contribute to the phenomenon of judicial insecurity.

La problématique de l’exclusion, être altériséen raison de l’identité du droit, naît des silences de la comparaison différentielle France – Canada. Une critiqueidentitaire permet de déplacer la triple dialectique de la comparaison : positivisme c. pluralisme, universalisme c.différentialisme et républicanisme c. libéralisme pluraliste. La problématique de l’orientation identitaire du droitest commune aux deux systèmes juridiques. Aussi, la recherche est relative à l’identité du constitutionnalisme.L’exclusion se définit comme le décalage entre l’orientation identitaire du constitutionnalisme et l’identité ducorps du sujet. La méthode d’analyse proposée, afin de traiter de l’exclusion en droit, et déplacer la comparaison,est tripartite : mettre en évidence l’orientation identitaire du constitutionnalisme, en identifier la structureidentitaire, pour, enfin, en déterminer les étrangers ou « Autres. » La recherche vise à déplacer la comparaison enproduisant une phénoménologie de l’exclusion constitutionnelle, ou « dehors constitutifs, » avec une typologiedes étrangers du droit. La démonstration sera faite dans le cadre des conflits de la religion et de l’orientationsexuelle démontrant l’orientation blanche, hétéropatriarcale et hétéronormative du droit constitutionnel. / This research intends on proving how constitutionalism and exclusion collide one against the other through acritique of the french gaze on a supposedly canadian model of pluralism. The negative comparison’s silencesbetween France and Canada gave birth to this question of how one is being excluded and othered based on theidentity of constitutional law. This critique, that focuses on identities, is shifting those three dialectics supportingthe aforementioned negative comparison : positivism v. pluralism, universalism v. differentialism, republicanismv. liberal pluralism. France and Canada share the issue of how legal reality is oriented toward specific identities.This research, then, is a critique of constitutionalism identities. Exclusion is defined as the gap between theorientation of law’s identities and the bodily reality of its subjects. The analytical tool developed here to tackleexclusion in law has three steps : shedding light on the orientations of constitutionalism, its identity structure,and its constitutional Others. This research purports on turning scholars’ critical gaze towards thisphenomenology of constitutional exclusion, its « constitutive outside, » by deciphering a typology ofconstitutional Others. This will be so through the collisions of freedom of religion and sexual orientation.Constitutionalism is per se oriented towards the ascendency of whiteness, patriarcalism and heteronormativity.
