The African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights:Bortfeld, Mathias January 2008 (has links)
This thesis focuses on the establishment and operation of the latest regional Human Rights Court: The African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. For the development of human rights protection mechanisms within regional organizations the governments of the member states are of special relevance. They pull the strings to either foster and develop a system or to disrupt it. Therefore, following a brief historical introduction, the first chapter gives an overview of the regional African organization, the former Organization of African Unity (OAU) and today's African Union (AU) which was instrumental in the establishment of the African Human Rights System and has now enhanced it by adding a judicial authority. However, it will become clear that is has taken a long time for the OAU to put human rights violations within the borders of its own member states on its agenda: Not until there was increasing international pressure due to never-ending excrescences of violence in the dictatorial regimes in Africa did the OAU carefully attend to this matter in the late 1970s. Its efforts culminated in the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (the eponymous Banjul Charter) which entered into force in 1981. The body for the protection created by the Charter was the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights which took up its function in 1987. Since the newly established African Court is not supposed to replace the Commission but rather to strengthen it, the Court operates in concert with the Commission. Therefore the old protection system will still be applicable which deems a portrayal of the system in the following chapter necessary. Here, it will be outlined, that the competences of the Commission remain very limited and that its judicial impact on the State parties involved in its protection procedures has been nearly nil up to this very day. Against this background the next chapter focuses on the Protocol to the Banjul-Charter establishing the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. First, the historical-political background and the protocol's juridical formulation process are examined. Here it will be shown that the end of global bipolarity has had a remarkable impact on the political protagonists in Africa with the effect that the increasing demands for a human rights Court within the OAU no longer remained completely unheard. It will also be outlined that the path towards the adoption of the protocol has been long and difficult. After a short survey of the organisational structure of the Court it will become clear that the protocol follows to a large extend its Inter-American counterpart concerning the institutional embodiment. However, a remarkable and, in international comparison, a unique achievement has also been achieved by the institutional regulations by making gender equality has one of the key issues to encompass when it comes to the nomination and election of judges. The following chapters outline the jurisdiction of the Court and the judicial process before the Court. In this connection the admissibility criteria will be highlighted in which two remarkable regulations stand out: First, it will become clear that in contrast to other regional human rights courts individuals and NGOs alike are entitled to file a complaint with the African Court (even though initially with the help of the Commission, since the protocol makes the complaint authority of individuals and NGOs dependent of a special declaration of acceptance of the State Parties concerned). Moreover, also unique compared to international two-tier human rights procedures, the protocol does not include a provision according to which a complainant would be obliged to go through a prior Commission procedure before filing a complaint with the Court. Individual complainants rather have direct access to the Court once a declaration of acceptance has been submitted by a State Party to the protocol. Following short remarks on the competence of the Court to issue provisional measures which, among other things, reveal that these measures have, in contrast to those of the ECtHR, binding effect the procedural termination of a complaint comes into focus. Here, the possible contents of the rulings and the control mechanisms for their implementation are being contemplated in a detailed fashion. This last aspect most probably will have great influence on the fate of the Court since the Commission for its part had to a large extent no success due to the fact that it had no conventional implementation procedures to rely on. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases the findings of the Commission trailed off without any State Party concerned paying any attention to it. The drafters of the protocol establishing the Court obviously have learned this lesson since the protocol provides for a quite remarkable implementation mechanism that may be able to impose political and legal pressure alike on State Parties if the Court deems that they have not properly complied with a Court's ruling. Even sanctions within the African Union against a recusant State come into question from a legal point of view - a quantum leap regarding the legal situation under the Banjul Charter. The last chapter rehearses the main findings of the thesis and concludes with a positive outlook on the future development of the African human rights system.

Direitos humanos das mulheres e a comissão interamericana de direitos humanos: uma análise de casos admitidos entre 1970 e 2008 / Womens human rights and the Inter-American Comission of human rights: an analysis of cases admitted between 1970 and 2008Tamara Amoroso Gonçalves 16 March 2011 (has links)
A Comissão Interamericana de Direitos Humanos é uma instância jurídico política que integra o Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos e é responsável pela análise de denúncias de violações a direitos ocorridos nos diversos países das Américas. A proposta deste trabalho é analisar as decisões de admissibilidade, mérito e acordos de solução amistosa publicadas pela Comissão e verificar a incidência de casos de violação a direitos humanos das mulheres. Mais do que simples casos em que a mulher é vítima, os casos objeto de análise deste trabalho apresentam situações em que justamente a violência ocorreu porque a vítima é do sexo feminino. Esta pesquisa congrega dados quantitativos e qualitativos sobre a ocorrência destas demandas no Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos e os impactos que as decisões da Comissão trazem para a observância dos direitos humanos das mulheres na região, bem como para a própria reformulação do conceito de direitos humanos / The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is a political and juridical instance which is part of the Inter-American Human Rights System and analyzes human rights violations reports in many countries in the American continent. This research evaluates the rulings of admissibility, merit and friendly solution agreements published by the Commission; it also verifies the frequency of womens human rights violation cases. More than just simple cases in which a woman is a victim, these analyzed episodes show that the violence took place precisely because the victim was a woman. This dissertation is based upon quantitative and qualitative data concerning the occurrence of these cases in the Inter- American Human Rights System and the impact that this decisions had on womens human rights observance in the region and on the re-formulation of human rights concept itself.

Previous issue date: 2015-11-25 / Since the promulgation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by members of the United Nations (UN) in 1948, major historical changes occurred in the international arena. The intensification of the complexity of global society led to the need for development of new legal models for new cross-border problems. It seeks, in this work, display and critically analyze the multilevel constitutionalism, transconstitucionalism and interconstitucionality and approach these perspectives in relation to the Inter-American System of Human Rights Protection (ISHR) in order to try to understand the phenomena of constitutional integration and exchanges in Latin American countries. From this objective, it seeks to present the current Project of ISHR and in particular the Inter-American Court (IACHR).It is understood that jurisprudence built by the IACHR, as well as the "conventionality control”, represent new factors in the legal systems that undergo a process of integration and therefore are relevant to understanding the contemporary dynamic. It presents a brief statement about the ISHR's performance in the Brazilian context and its consequences, as the critical position of Brazil in relation to certain requests and determinations issued by the Commission and Inter-American Court, respectively. Through the exposure of the Inter-American Court jurisprudence in cases of amnesty laws, we intend to identify, in the current Latin American scene, the placement of this Court, I try to view the prospects discussed and delineate potential consequences of each of the three constitutional integration models analyzed with regard the hypothesis of functioning as theoretical references at the Latin American experience of human rights promotion. It is recognized that neither model completely correspond to legal or political dynamics of the ISHR, however, it is expected to identify the approach and the distance of this system about these new emerging constitutional models of Constitutional Law, considering the conceptual delimitation of Human Rights used for the construction of this analysis, that is, they are constituted as an open content class, which is incompatible therefore with a universal-abstract and unifying bias. / Desde a promulgação da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos pelos membros da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) em 1948, grandes transformações históricas ocorreram no cenário internacional. A intensificação da complexidade na sociedade mundial acarretou a necessidade de elaboração de novos modelos jurídicos para os novos problemas transfronteiriços. Busca-se, nesse trabalho, apresentar e analisar criticamente o constitucionalismo multinível, o transconstitucionalismo e a interconstitucionalidade e a aproximação dessas perspectivas em relação ao Sistema Interamericano de Proteção dos Direitos Humanos (SIDH), com o fim de se tentar compreender os fenômenos de integração e intercâmbio constitucional no âmbito dos países latino-americanos. A partir desse objetivo, procura-se apresentar o atual projeto do SIDH e, em especial, da Corte Interamericana (Corte IDH), seu órgão jurisdicional. Entende-se que a jurisprudência construída por este Tribunal, bem como o “controle de convencionalidade” por ela exercido, representam fatores novos nos sistemas jurídicos que passam por um processo de integração e, por isso, são relevantes para entender a dinâmica contemporânea. Apresenta-se uma breve exposição acerca da atuação do SIDH no âmbito brasileiro e suas decorrências, como o posicionamento crítico do Brasil em relação a certas solicitações e determinações emanadas pela Comissão e Corte Interamericana, respectivamente. Por meio da exposição da jurisprudência da Corte IDH nos casos das Leis de Anistia, pretende-se identificar, no atual cenário latino-americano, o posicionamento deste Tribunal, tento em vista as perspectivas discutidas, bem como delimitar potenciais consequências de cada um dos três modelos de integração constitucional analisados, no que diz respeito à hipótese de funcionarem como referentes teóricos da experiência latino-americana de promoção consertada dos direitos humanos. Reconhece-se que nenhum dos modelos corresponderia completamente a dinâmica política e jurisdicional do SIDH, contudo, espera-se identificar a aproximação e o distanciamento do sistema com esses novos modelos constitucionais emergentes na seara do Direito Constitucional, levando-se em consideração a delimitação conceitual de diretos humanos utilizada para a construção dessa análise, qual seja, que estes se constituem como uma classe de conteúdo aberto e variável, incompatível, portanto, com um viés universalista-abstrato e uniformizador.

Univerzalismus lidských práv ve světle plurality kulturních hodnotových vzorů Afriky / The universalism of human rights in the light of plurality of cultural value patterns in AfricaGuindon, Ľubica January 2011 (has links)
Ľubica Guindon :Universalism of Human Rights in the Light of pluralism of African cultural values The purpose of this thesis is to analyze actual discourse in international law terms about universal or culturally determined characters of human rights. This theoretical problem is introduced with the focus on legal qualification of female circumcision (FC/ FGM ) in international human rights protection. The study goes beyond the scope of international law and reaches cross-disciplinary analysis related to the African context and its cultural, political and social factors. Chapter One addresses the theoretical issues of the notion of human rights, its sources and models in international law. This passage challenges an African approach to human rights bills including a catalogue of individual duties towards family, state and society as a whole. This concern about collective identity of a person within his or her community is a very important feature of African understanding of human rights and human dignity, and can enrich the universal consensus in this field. Within the theoretical issues of the international human rights protection it is necessary to look at the global, regional and local dimension of legal regulation. The most influential strategies on the global level are universal treaties with...

Cosmopolitan Greetings: Mixed-Form inter-American Judicial Review and the Latin American Path to Global ConstitutionalismCarvalho Bossolani, Iderpaulo 11 November 2020 (has links)
In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat sich in Lateinamerika ein neuer Kontext für die Durchsetzung von Menschenrechten herausgebildet. Die organisatorische Entwicklung des Interamerikanischen Menschenrechtsschutzsystems (IAS), die Verabschiedung neuer Verfassungen durch die nationalen Gesetzgeber und die Anwendung innovativer Verfassungsauslegungen durch die maßgeblichen Gerichte in der Region haben zur Entstehung eines kosmopolitischen lateinamerikanischen Konstitutionalismus geführt. In diesem neuen Kontext hat der Interamerikanische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte (IACtHR) damit begonnen, die gerichtliche Überprüfung innerstaatlicher Gesetze zu praktizieren, d.h. er hat bei mehreren Gelegenheiten nationale Behörden angewiesen, innerstaatliche Gesetze wegen ihrer Unvereinbarkeit mit der Amerikanischen Menschenrechtskonvention (ACHR) für ungültig zu erklären. Angesichts der zunehmenden Konflikte zwischen nationalen und internationalen Menschenrechtsautoritäten zielt diese Studie darauf ab, den legitimsten und effektivsten Ansatz für die Praxis der interamerikanischen Konventionskontrolle zu finden. Ausgehend von der Debatte über die innerstaatliche richterliche Normenkontrolle werden zunächst die Gründe für die Praxis einer starken internationalen Normenkontrolle untersucht. Anschließend adressiert diese Studie Theorien, die versucht haben, die interamerikanische Konventionskontrolle zu schwächen. Diese Theorien haben sich häufig für die Übernahme des nationalen Ermessensspielraums auf der Grundlage der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofes für Menschenrechte ausgesprochen. Schließlich plädiert die vorliegende Studie für eine kontextbasierte Theorie der interamerikanischen gerichtlichen Überprüfung und versucht, den nationalen Ermessensspielraum mit dem kosmopolitischen Konstitutionalismus Lateinamerikas in Einklang zu bringen. / In recent decades, a new human rights enforcement context has emerged in Latin America. The organizational evolution of the Inter-American System for Human Rights Protection (IAS), the adoption of new constitutions by national legislatures, and the adoption of innovative constitutional interpretations by the most authoritative courts in the region have led to the emergence of Latin American cosmopolitan constitutionalism. Within this new context, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) has started practicing the judicial review of domestic laws, i.e., on several occasions, it has ordered national authorities to invalidate domestic laws due to their incompatibility with the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR). By reviewing domestic laws, the IACtHR has placed itself in the middle of a dialogue between legislatures and courts that was long seen as an exclusively domestic conversation within Latin American constitutionalism. This strong form of international jurisprudence has made the normative questions relating to judicial review much more complex to address. Given the increasing conflicts between domestic and inter-American human rights authorities, this study aims to find the most legitimate and effective approach to the practice of inter-American judicial review. In line with this, and drawing on the debate about domestic judicial review, it first assesses the reasons behind the practice of strong international judicial review. In order to offer a better form of inter-institutional interaction within the IAS, this study later addresses theories that have sought to weaken the practice of inter-American judicial review based on the principle of subsidiarity. These theories have often advocated for the adoption of the national margin of appreciation based on the European experience with this concept of deference to national authorities. Finally, this study advocates for a context-based theory of inter-American judicial review and tries to reconcile the national margin of appreciation with Latin American cosmopolitan constitutionalism.

Nástroje ochrany lidských práv v Evropské unii - Perspektiva společné politiky v rámci EU? / Instruments of Protection of Human Rights in the European Union - Perspective for a Common EU Policy?Hendrychová, Veronika January 2009 (has links)
The diploma thesis "Instruments of protection of human rights in the European union - Perspective for a common EU policy?" stems from the assumption that the European Union increasingly accentuates the human rights protection, both inside and outside the Community. The main hypothesis is that this process is leading to the creation of a common human rights policy in the EU. The guiding line of the thesis is whether it is possible to find sufficient indicia pointing to a foreseeable creation of such a policy, e.g. will from the side of institutions and other actors. The first part of the thesis examines the definition of human rights in the EU, levels of their protection and human rights provisions of the founding treaties, their revisions and other relevant documents. The second part focuses on the main actors in the system of human rights protection in the EU and evaluation of their activities in this field. The perspective of the common human rights policy is a topic of the third part. It focuses mainly on the analysis of the current state of the human rights protection in the European Union and the will of actors to proceed together in this area. The thesis is predominantly conducted with the empirical-analytical method; further legal analysis and qualitative textual analysis are used. The main...

Sociální práce jako lidskoprávní profese / Social work as a human rights professionKÁMENOVÁ, Petra January 2015 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the reflection of aspects and factors in social work within the agenda of benefits in material distress, affecting the human rights of clients of social workers of HN at CoP LO. The scope of ordinary social workers of HN at CoP LO on the agenda of benefits in material distressis the processing of applications, providing advice and appropriate services, which affect both legislative, ethical and other documents of the organization, as well as the role of social workers in their work representing their competence, attitudes and values that imply to intervention with clients. Other aspects and factors that have a relevant impact on the human rights of clientsare the cooperation with other entities active in the environment and working conditions of social workers. Research of the thesis was through quantitative methods in the form of semi-standardized interview focused on mapping and factors that affect the implementation of the rights of clients. Questions have been targeted on subjective perceptions and opinions of the respondents in the area of benefits in material distress in Ceske Budejovice, regarding examined aspectsand factors that I have outlined above. The result of my thesis is the finding that the fulfilment of the rights of clients is negatively affected by the high administrative participation rates of social workers, which subsequently affects the individual approach, roles, competencies, values of social workers, and in cooperation with other agencies and organizations that are important to the saturation ofclients' needs. Officers of benefits of benefits in material distress from the position of the first-line workers do not have sufficient powers in defending the rights of their clients. It has been appealed to social workers to have been properly compiled their administrative formalities. The consequence of this administrative burden is the sideline of the individual of intervention with clients with the aim of saturation of their needs.
