By means of these facts, and in order to deepen the investigation of the chosen topic, we selected the non structured research methodology of exploring character which allows the researcher obtain a better context comprehension in which is inserted the research subject. As we shall observe, through all the exposed, there is no way for us not to conclude that Rights Abuse is originated by human being s individualism - in its most selfish aspect - once its roots begin from the proper human existence. It is also not exaggerated to affirm that on the day when Rights Abuse cease to be the object of juridical controversies, humanity will have reached such a high evolutive level that the proper right will become the synonym of just, in the widest meaning of the word; justice will be the consequence of social relationship, not needing to be imposed to man by means of laws and convival rules. Therefore, taking in consideration that the sicussion of such a fascinating question will never be exhausted, we effect this investigation as a manner to specify that the Rights Abuse will always continue to be of utmost importance when related to society rights / Essa dissertação resulta do interesse em pesquisar a concepção do Abuso de Direito; tema polêmico, que tem sido estudado por diversas correntes filosófico-ideológicas que se dedicam incansavelmente a encontrar a prática mais acertada no campo jurídico. Mediante tais fatos, a fim de investigarmos mais a fundo a temática escolhida, optamos pela metodologia de pesquisa não estruturada de caráter exploratório que permite ao pesquisador obter melhor compreensão do contexto em que o tema da pesquisa encontra-se inserido. Como veremos, por tudo o que foi exposto, não há como não concluirmos que o abuso do direito não tenha origem no individualismo do ser humano no aspecto mais egoístico pois suas raízes remontam à própria existência da humanidade. Também não seria exagero afirmarmos que no dia em que o abuso do direito deixar de ser objeto de controvérsias jurídicas, a humanidade terá galgado um nível evolutivo tão elevado que o próprio direito será o sinônimo do justo, na acepção mais ampla da palavra; a justiça será conseqüência do convívio social, não necessitando mais ser imposta ao homem através de leis e regras de convivência. Portanto, levando em conta que a discussão de uma questão tão fascinante jamais poderia ser esgotada, realizamos esta investigação como forma de assinalar que o Abuso do Direito sempre será de suma importância no que se refere aos direitos da sociedade

This diploma thesis deals with ways of using Tor anonymization network both from the point of view of the use in the positive sense and the use in the negative sense, the abuse. The aim of this work is to identify different ways of using the network and to quantify network abuse based on analyzed abuse reports. First, the basic concepts are defined and the development of the Internet and identification technologies in its environment are briefly described. Then, the concept of Onion routing, based on which the Tor network works, together with more technical details about the functioning of the network, is introduced. Last but not least, the Tor Browser is described as the most common tool for using the Tor network along with the types of users who use it. The last chapter of the theoretical part introduces the problem of network abuse. The practical part is primarily solved in the form of a quantitative analysis of abuse, due to their volume of almost 3 million. Quantitative analysis is done using the statistical language R and basic mining data, text mining and statistical methods. The analyzed data are related to several large nodes of the Tor network and contains several years of history. Although the total number of complaints increases almost exponentially over time, complaints about malicious...

The thesis deals with the question, in which situation the International Criminal court would probably open an Investigation of such crimes by an international body is a delicate question mainly with regard to a great extend of intervention into a state sovereignty, which manifests itself also as jurisdictional sovereignty. The thesis focuses on the case of Kenyan post-election violence in years of 2007 and 2008 and the aim to suppress Libyan revolution of 2011. Besides, the work is based upon the theory of (liberal) institutionalism, which could hopefully be applied to the international-law case of investigation of the crimes committed outside an armed conflict. Within the framework of the thesis I try to reveal criteria determining whether the International Criminal court opens or not an investigation to a situation of human rights abuse. For the purpose I take into consideration world and local country status, character of the perpetrators, extend of the attacks, country's relation to the great powers, as well as readiness of the country to prosecute the perpetrators within the national jurisdiction. As conclusion I try t compare the findings from the part applying liberal institutionalism and from the case studies.

No / CSR within a purely voluntary context has so far not made meaningful contributions to the problem of corporate environmental and human rights abuses in Africa. The paper therefore aims to improve the effectiveness of CSR in the continent by making companies accountable for the veracity of statements they have voluntarily put out in the public domain. The paper adopts the stakeholder and legitimacy theories and information regulation as its framework of analysis. Following a discourse on the developments in and limitations of sustainability, the paper constructs an argument in line with these theories how these reports can still be utilised to make meaningful contribution towards strengthening CSR through accountability for false and misleading statements. Corporations have a stake in information in sustainability reports with regard to their corporate image and reputation. Therefore, under the appropriate framework, utilising corporate accountability for false and misleading statements by companies has promise for making CSR more effective. The main limitations of this research is the political will of national governments in Africa to undertake such an exercise and the relative ability of civil society groups in light of the power of corporations to effectively hold them to account through the models proposed. The paper is interdisciplinary, drawing upon both management and legal theories. A significant contribution of this research is its pragmatic approach which goes beyond calling for legal platform for CSR by recommending a model for accountability within the existing voluntary CSR framework.

The script, Millennium Bridge, is an investigation into the passions and fears that are shaping contemporary Australia today. Charting the political climate of the past decade, at the play's centre a man is building a bridge from Australia to Asia. The central dramatic question being asked is &quotIn an environment where the emphasis on economic prosperity overrides that of human rights and freedom of speech--what will be the consequences for the Australian people?" The accompanying analysis of the ten-year period it took to write Millennium Bridge illuminates the significance of institutional issues on a play and playwright's development. Written from the perspective of a mid-career playwright, the paper argues that the professional and personal circumstances within which a work of art is created (and their effect on the playwright's confidence and financial capacities) are a significant determinant of the productivity of playwrights.

The main aim of this Master's thesis is to analyse how children are recruited and abused as soldiers in armed conflicts, and how international humanitarian law protects their rights. The thesis is divided in two main parts, theoretical and empirical. In theoretical part are introduced the most important documents of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including international governmental and non-governmental organizations which promote these rights. In empirical part, the author focuses on case studies, namely the case of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the case of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The author was not interested in finding similarities in these two cases, but conversely, to point out on the uniqueness of each case. To precise, the thesis is analysing reasons for the recruitment and abuse of children by the LRA and ISIS, and the legal responsibility of both groups. The author of this thesis chose as a methodology an instrumental case study which is useful for providing a general understanding of a phenomenon by using a particular case. In addition, this methodology is convenient for interpretation of legal documents, and two selected cases serve as instruments for interpreting the recruitment and abuse of children in armed conflicts.
