Este estudo pretende mostrar que os princÃpios da Carta da Terra podem ser inseridos nas prÃticas de responsabilidade social adotadas pelas agroindÃstrias localizadas na zona rural. Por meio da Responsabilidade Social Empresarial (RSE), muitas das prÃticas socialmente responsÃveis encontram-se diretamente e indiretamente ligados aos valores e princÃpios desta declaraÃÃo. A Carta da Terra à o principal instrumento desta recente Iniciativa que visa promover a transiÃÃo para uma sociedade global fundamentada em um modelo de Ãtica compartilhada, que inclui o respeito e o cuidado pela comunidade da vida, a integridade ecolÃgica, a democracia e uma cultura de paz. Para as empresas, ela traz a visÃo mais abrangente e o conceito mais amplo de responsabilidade social, fornecendo elementos universais estruturados para reconhecer seu papel na humanidade. Para tanto, avaliou-se a atuaÃÃo socialmente responsÃvel da Unidade Agroindustrial do Grupo 3 CoraÃÃes no EuzÃbio â CearÃ. Utilizaram-se dados de origem primÃria, obtidos por meio de questionÃrio e dados de origem secundÃrias oriundos principalmente da Earth Charter International. As prÃticas socialmente responsÃveis propostas foram analisadas segundo os Indicadores Ethos e segundo os princÃpios e pilares da Carta da Terra e avaliadas atravÃs da metodologia EC-Assess, o que possibilitou estabelecer os variados nÃveis de implementaÃÃo, bem como os nÃveis de valorizaÃÃo dessas prÃticas na atuaÃÃo empresarial. A agroindÃstria demonstrou uma atuaÃÃo socialmente responsÃvel quanto à implementaÃÃo e a valorizaÃÃo, em vÃrios nÃveis, das aÃÃes sugeridas. Com isso, foi possÃvel perceber que à viÃvel, atravÃs de uma gestÃo socialmente responsÃvel, inserir a Carta da Terra no ramo agroindustrial e gerar ganhos para todos os pÃblicos de relacionamentos, sobretudo no meio rural, onde as carÃncias reforÃam o papel das agroindÃstrias como promotoras de crescimento e desenvolvimento e potencializa seu impacto na melhoria da qualidade de vida dessa populaÃÃo. / This study aims to show that the principles of Earth Charter can be embedded in social responsibility practices adopted by agribusinesses companies, located in the Ceara‟s country area. Through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), many of the social responsible practices are directly and indirectly linked to values and principles of this declaration. The Earth Charter is the main instrument of this recent initiative to promote the transition to a global society based on a model of shared ethics, which includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, democracy and a culture of peace. It brings more comprehensive and broader concept of social responsibility to businesses by providing them universal elements structured to recognize their role in humanity. For this, we evaluated the performance of a social responsible agribusinesses company Unit from Group 3 Hearts in EuzÃbio - CearÃ. We used primary source data obtained through a questionnaire and secondary source data drawn mainly from the International Earth Charter. The social responsible practices proposed were analyzed according to the Ethos and the principles and pillars of the Earth Charter. Those were evaluated through the EC-Assess methodology, which enabled them to establish several levels of implementation and levels of recovery of those practices in business. The agribusinesses company has demonstrated a social responsible regarding the implementation and enhancement at various levels of suggested actions. Thus, it was possible to see what is feasible, through responsible management, entering the Earth Charter in the agroindustrial sector and generate gains for all public relations, especially in rural areas, where deprivation reinforce the role of agribusiness as promoters growth and development and maximize its impact in improving the quality of life for this population.

This thesis deals with the fundamental right to the protection of personal data as enshrined in Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union ('the Charter'). An analysis of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on Article 8 of the Charter reveals an intriguing paradox: although this provision has been repeatedly invoked in order to enhance protection of personal data and has featured prominently in several far-reaching judgments (Digital Rights Ireland, Google Spain or Schrems), there is considerable uncertainty as to the substantive scope of the right to the protection of personal data. The relationship between the right to privacy and the right to data protection has proved difficult to untangle, and the autonomous nature of Article 8 of the Charter has not always been respected. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the purpose and content of this fundamental right with reference to the CJEU's case law and recent academic debate. This thesis is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the European legal framework for data protection and demonstrates the limited value of the 'Explanations relating to the Charter' in interpreting Article 8. Chapter 2 analyses the CJEU's approach to interpreting and applying Article 8, while Chapter 3 is...

The regional security aspect is becoming increasingly more important within security studies. The United Nations and the United Nations Security Council has expressed an intent to utilize regional organizations as security actors with regards to maintaining international peace and security, with the purpose of achieving a greater sense of legitimacy for conflict resolution. This study aims to explore the possibilities of using such organizations within regions of varying stability, and how this usage can relate to the idea of legitimacy. Based on regional security complex theory, this study seeks to show how regional organizations have been used by the Security Council within different security sectors, and how this usage is affected by the degree of integration within the region. The result of the study show that the idea of legitimacy is easiest to achieve in regions with a mid-level degree of regional integration and concerning questions of political security. The results also show a tendency within the Security Council to use organizations from other regions with higher levels of integration in regions with lower levels of integration, and raises the question if this way of using regional organizations may risk harming the ultimate goal of legitimacy.

Magister Legum - LLM / It is within the context of the persistent feminisation of the HIV and AIDS pandemic that this study, based on the normative provisions of the African Women's Protocol, focused on gender, sex and sexuality in the context of HIV and AIDS. The regime of the African Women's Protocol embodies a framework that can be utilised to combat HIV/AIDS amongst women in Africa by addressing some of the most important issues that need to be tackled if women are to live through this epidemic. / South Africa

Magister Legum - LLM / On 17 July 1998, a total of 120 States, including Malawi, voted for the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The ermanent ICC became operational on 1 July 2002. The ICC has jurisdiction over the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. These crimes are the most serious crimes of international concern. The ICC operates under the principle of complementarity, which entails that the ICC will only assume jurisdiction over these core crimes in the event that a State Party is unwilling and unable genuinely to carry out the investigation and prosecution. States Parties have, therefore, the primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute these crimes. The States Parties must therefore establish jurisdiction to conduct investigations and prosecution of these core crimes. It is from that background, coupled with the historical evolution and development of international criminal law, with regard to individual criminal responsibility, that this paper argues for the implementation of the Rome Statute in Malawi, through domestic legislation.The paper thus argues that only through domestic legislation can the purports of the Rome Statute be achieved and fulfilled by Malawi. / South Africa

in English This thesis deals with the right to personal data protection as enshrined in Article 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (the Charter) and its relationship with Article 7 Charter, the right to respect for private and family life. Since both of the rights have immediate relevance for EU data protection, their coexistence in the Charter necessitates an explanation as to their relationship, interaction and the merit of adding an independent right to personal data protection. However, such explanation is difficult to trace. International human rights instruments have traditionally safeguarded the protection of personal data by the right to privacy. The common constitutional traditions of the Member States differ significantly in the enactment of data protection and the EU legislation in force is likewise treating data protection as a privacy subset. The thesis firstly attempts to assess whether the right to personal data protection is capable of autonomous standing, detached from the privacy right and secondly, whether the CJEU allows the right to personal data protection to stand as an autonomous right in reality. To deal with the first research task, the paper analyses the doctrinal sources discussing the personal data-privacy concepts and seeks to identify the value of Article's 8...

If we consider various improving concepts of governance, we can distinguish two main trends in public choice economics. Neoclassical analysis provides a static view of competitive government, where the main idea is free choice and so-called vote with feet. Dynamic view adds understanding of competition as knowledge generating process and product differentiation. The aim of the work is to evaluate Charter Cities project from the perspective of static and dynamic competition in the government industry, and its potential for rules diffusion to the host country. Seasteading may seem utopian, but the realization would significantly address the problems of decision-making costs and differentiation of governments. Since concepts vary at first sight, purpose of the work is also to compare charter cities and sea cities in terms of their nature, risks, and final applicability in practice. Third, a closer form of activism is the decentralization of government and the transfer of responsibilities to the private communities. Since the government market is 30% of world GDP and is extremely closed and resistant to change, it must compare the three forms of institutional changes, identify under what conditions and in what timeframe are feasible and to determine their significance with regard to their specific nature.

The master's thesis discusses an alternative concept of development aid in the form of charter cities created by Paul Romer, American economist. It describes this mechanism, institutional framework and analyzes its potential to work in practice. Besides the first attempts to put model cities into practice, the thesis also points to a number of myths that have appeared around the project and which are the subject of study. Due to absence of direct charter cities the concept is compared (based on ex-post analysis) with cities and economic zones that were established with goal to achieve economic growth. Similar procedure is applied even in testing of basic assumptions of this model to find out whether this is a viable project.
