Activists in the age of rights : the struggle for human rights in Canada, 1945-1960

Lambertson, Ross 02 November 2017 (has links)
From 1945 to 1960 Canada began to move into what has been called “the age of rights.” At the end of the Second World War the nation paid lip service to “British liberties,” but both the state and private individuals frequently violated the libertarian rights of political radicals as well as the egalitarian rights of certain unpopular ethnic and religious minorities. By 1960 a discourse of human rights had largely replaced the British liberties approach, and the country enjoyed a far higher level of respect for minority rights, in part because of a number of legal changes—Supreme Court decisions, anti-discrimination legislation, and a Bill of Rights. This dissertation examines this shift, focussing upon the activities of members of the Canadian “human rights policy community.” Relying largely upon primary resources, it presents a number of case studies, demonstrating how human rights activists dealt with the deportation of Japanese Canadians, the Gouzenko Affair, the problem of discriminatory restrictive covenants, the Cold War, the need for an effective fair accommodation law in Ontario in general and the town of Dresden in particular, and the struggle for a bill of rights. In presenting these case studies, this dissertation also focusses upon the activities of a number of key interest groups within the human rights community: the coalition known as the Cooperative Committee on Japanese Canadians, the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Jewish Labour Committee, and a number of civil liberties organizations (especially the liberal Civil Liberties Association of Toronto and the communist Civil Rights Union). Attention is paid to the reasons for their successes and failures; within the general context of economic, social, and cultural changes, special attention is paid to the way in which these interest groups made their own history, using their own history, using the resources available to them. / Graduate

Transitional justice mechanisms under the African human rights system : prospects and challenges for countering massive human rights violations in Cameroon

Benjamin, Mekinde Tonga January 2021 (has links)
Cameroon has been in the throes of a bloody conflict in the English-speaking regions since 2016. It is a conflict over political, cultural rights and identity and has deteriorated with government forces implicated in serious human rights violations such as extrajudicial and summary executions, torture, forced disappearances, arbitrary arrest and incommunicado detention, arson and destruction of villages. Separatist fighters have equally inflicted pain on civilians who do not support their agenda through kidnapping, maiming and targeted killings. Transitional justice (TJ) stands as a panacea to addressing the serious human rights violations resulting from conflicts. The AU through its different organs and institutions have developed mechanisms for the implementation of TJ. The AU Transitional Justice Policy (AUTJP) provides a roadmap for other institutions to assist member states to develop context-specific comprehensive policies, strategies, and programmes towards achieving peace, justice and reconciliation. The African Commission as a key institutions for implementing TJ incorporates TJ into its existing mechanisms which makes TJ centred responses weak. The study proposes several measures to improve on the Commissions response. It equally highlights the peculiarities and challenges at the level of the Cameroon and proposes measures to be adopted to achieve peace and justice. / Mini Dissertation (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa))--University of Pretoria, 2021. / Centre for Human Rights / LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa) / Unrestricted

Construction of a model for human rights education in the health professions

Mokoena, Joyce Desia January 2012 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D. (Health Sciences))-- University of Limpopo, 2012 / A theory - generative, qualitative, descriptive, exploratory and contextual design was used in this study, in phases 1 and 2. The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the nature of human rights education in the health professions programmes at the University of Limpopo, MEDUNSA Campus in order to develop a model for human rights education and teaching of the students in such programmes. In Phase 1, data were collected by means of unstructured, in-depth interviews from the sampled lecturers teaching ethics and/or human rights, as well as by observation, field notes and document analysis. The findings indicated that human rights education is an empowering process for the students, which can be facilitated through a collaborative, Inter-professional and interdisciplinary approach. The content for a human rights education programme should include Ethics and Human Rights which is contextual in terms of the South African society and also considers the international perspectives of human rights. Interactive teaching strategies should be used to facilitate maximum involvement and engagement of the student with the subject matter. In Phase 2, the construction and description of the model is done, based on the guidelines of Dickoff, James & Weidenbach (1968); Chinn & Kramer (2008); Walker & Avant (2011). The concepts which were derived from the themes that emerged from the interviews with the key informants, the observations made, the field notes, the review of selected documents and the literature which used as data, provided the framework for the model “Human Rights Education in the Health Professions”. The thesis provides the research report, and a description of the model, including the guidelines for implementation. Recommendations which are based on the findings of the study have been made with respect to education, practice and research. A key recommendation concerns the review of the content of the curriculum for human rights. Key words: collaboration, education, empowerment, ethics, human rights, human rights education.
