Uma vez que não guardam relação exclusiva com a nacionalidade, com a cultura, com a religião e com as tradições culturais particulares, os problemas que afetam a humanidade como um todo não podem ser enfrentados por uma cultura de direitos humanos que deposita sua validade apenas no reconhecimento positivo de cada país ou nas práticas culturais que pontuam a tradição de uma comunidade. Nesse contexto, uma cultura dos direitos humanos que queira enfrentar de modo eficiente os desafios de seu tempo precisa ser fundada na moralidade que é comum a todos os / Current sociopolitical world scenario challenges the effectiveness of human rights as a common group of reciprocities and responsibilities to be respected by the several people of the world, be it because of the rearrangement of international relations, be it because of the lacking effectiveness of the protecting legislation of the nation states, be it for the sake of the intense conflict between particular cultural positions and the universality of human rights. As they do not guard an exclusive relation with the nationality, culture, religion and particular cultural traditions, the problems that affect humanity as a whole may not be kept back by a human rights culture that deposits its validity only on the positive recognition of every country or on the cultural practices that make out a community´s tradition. In this connection, a human rights culture that wants efficiently face the challenges of modern times must ground on the morality common to all people, irrespective of time and place, in a juridic

In this thesis I will discuss two different ethical approaches to the Peruvian state treatment in favour of the Catholic Church, for and against, based respectively on communitarian and secularist views on the state-Church relationship which I will also discuss. After that I will offer concepts of several types of discrimination and I will connect them to the question if the Peruvian state treatment in favour of the Catholic Church is a kind of discrimination against non-Catholic minorities-believers and non-believers.

Esta importância está diretamente relacionada à capacidade de formulação e implementação de políticas compensatórias, com possíveis intervenções no desenvolvimento do espaço em que opera e atua. Dentro deste cenário, destaca-se o papel do Instituto Ethos enquanto instituição associativa que, em nível nacional e regional, discute, fomenta e divulga aspectos relativos ao investimento social das empresas. Para o Ethos, a responsabilidade social pode ser traduzida como atuação ética nas ações e relações com os seus stakeholders, proposta que permite uma diversidade de interpretações, evidenciada por práticas que vão do mero associativismo a ações e parcerias caracterizadas como responsabilidade social empresarial. O perfil das organizações e as formas como elas se estruturam para responder às demandas de responsabilidade social empresarial condicionam formas institucionais, que por sua vez geram ações sociais e parcerias indicativas do nível de engajamento das empresas com a proposta do Instituto Ethos. Esta dissertação mapeia os perfis organizacionais e das formas de gestão das empresas associadas ao Instituto Ethos na Bahia e as características de suas ações, projetos e programas de responsabilidade social, bem como as parcerias que estabelece na ação social e os mecanismos de avaliação e transparência utilizados. Em seguida, classifica-se estas ações em filantrópicas e de responsabilidade social, com base no conceito de responsabilidade social empresarial do Ethos, de acordo com a seguinte escala: (0) empresa associada ao Ethos, (1) empresa associada ao Ethos e que realiza filantropia, e (2) empresa associada e que realiza filantropia ou atua dentro do que o Instituto Ethos considera responsabilidade social empresarial. Finalmente, contrasta-se e compara-se as ações das empresas no campo da responsabilidade social empresarial, e discute-se o grau de aderência das práticas implementadas com a proposta de responsabilidade social empresarial do Instituto Ethos. Conclui-se que as práticas de responsabilidade social das organizações associadas ao Instituto Ethos na Bahia caracterizam-se pelo hibridismo. Organizações de diversos setores e escalas incorporam ações que variam do cumprimento mínimo das obrigações legais, até doações de cunho filantrópico e práticas de responsabilidade social propriamente ditas, indicando que a atuação do Ethos como regulador é muito mais prescritiva, o que abre um hiato entre o que idealmente propõe em seu discurso e o que realmente as empresas fazem. The actuality and relevance of the discussion about the role of private companies in society, more specifically in the Brazilian context, reveal their importance as actors that can contribute to the management of social development. This importance is directly related to their capacities of formulating and implementing compensatory policies, with concrete possibilities of developing interventions on the territory they operate. Within this scenario, the role of associating institutions, such as Ethos Institute, that discusses, foments and communicates, both in regional and national level, aspects related to the social investment of firms, emerges. To this institute, a company is social responsible when it establishes practices, relationships and partnerships with its stakeholders within ethic values, proposal that allows multiples interpretations and is evidenced by practices that vary from mere associations to practices and partnerships characterized as corporate social responsibility. The profiles of the organizations and the ways they are structured to answer to the demands of corporate social responsibility create institutional forms, which generate partnerships and social actions that indicate the level of engagement to Ethos‟s proposal. This thesis maps the organizational profiles and managerial models of the companies associated with Ethos Institute in Bahia, and the features of their practices, projects and programs of social responsibility, as well as their partnerships on social actions and the mechanisms of evaluation and transparency they use. It also classifies these actions in philanthropic and of social responsibility, based on Ethos Institute‟s concept of corporate social responsibility, according to the following scale: (0) company associated with Ethos, (1) company associated with Ethos that performs philanthropy, and (2) company associated with Ethos that performs philanthropy or acts within what Ethos Institute considers corporate social responsibility. Finally, it compares the pratices of socialresponsibility of the companies studied and discusses the degree of compliance of what they implement with Ethos Institute‟s concept of corporate social responsibility. We conclude that the social responsibility practices of organizations associated with the Ethos Institute in Bahia are characterized by hybridity. Organizations from different sectors and scales incorporate actions ranging from the minimum compliance with legal obligations to philanthropic donations and social responsibility practices, indicating that the performance of Ethos as a regulator is more prescriptive and revealing a gap between what the institute ideally proposes in its speech and what the companies really implement.

of Ph.D. thesis: Middle Eastern Conflict in the French Public Space (2000-2010) Václav Nekvapil, 2013 The main objective of the thesis is to analyse and typologise French social discourse on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on a reflection of certain opinions, interests, stances and values associated with today's Jewishness and Jewish diasporic identity. The research also contains an analysis of the official political-diplomatic discourse of both Presidents Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy. Based on the methodology of typologisation and critical discourse analysis, we distinguish three basic positions related to the debate on the abovementioned topics in the years 2000- 2010: republican, anti-imperialist and neoconservative. The thesis elaborates on attitudes of presidents of the French Fifth Republic towards Israel and how their policies have been perceived by the Jewish community. The community as such is also a matter of the research: its changing religiosity, demography, immigration of Nord African Jewry and the attitude towards Zionism and the State of Israel. The thesis follows four main thematic axes when analysing arguments of the most important speakers. First, when analysing the duty of memory (devoir de mémoire), the author carefully examines moral argumentation concerning the...
