Human rights and business : direct corporate accountability for human rights / Cernic, Jernej Letnar (ed.) ; Van Ho, Tara (ed.), xxx, 532 p. - Oisterwijk : Wolf Legal Publishers, 2015.

INTRODUCTION: The global business environment has changed rapidly in the past decades, but the human rights and business discourse has often lagged behind. At the international level, hard law regulations still seem decades away. United Nations initiatives such as the Guiding Principles and the UN Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises are more than a step in the right direction. However, they alone are insufficient to prevent violations and ensure victims receive justice. The edited book uses a broad and pluralistic understanding of direct human rights obligations, concentrating on legally enforceable standards. The enforceability can come directly from international law, through national legislation, or through non-state actors. The contributions engage both with the law as it is as well as the law as it needs to be developed. In doing so, the book challenges the current reticence to recognise direct human rights obligations of corporations by highlighting the various tools already available for remedying corporate human rights impacts while pushing for the development of further mechanisms. The book and its contributors have followed pluralistic approaches to human rights and business. The book builds on existing literature, but also offers a unique contribution by considering the effectiveness and availability of current mechanisms as well as discussing gaps in the existing framework for human righs protection. The approach in this book allows for a clearer understanding of the global human rights framework, and the manner in which voluntary and binding initiatives can reinforce one another. By weaving together analysis on the current standards and practices with critical approaches, this book allows scholars and practitioners to capture the complexity of holding businesses accountable for their human rights impacts.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: In recent years human rights have assumed a central position in the discourse surrounding international development, while human rights agencies have begun to more systematically address economic and social rights. This edited volume brings together distinguished scholars to explore the merging of human rights and development agendas at local, national and international levels. They examine how this merging affects organisational change, operational change and the role of relevant actors in bringing about change. With a focus on practice and policy rather than pure theory, the volume also addresses broader questions such as what human rights and development can learn from one another, and whether the connections between the two fields are increasing or declining.

The book is structured in three sections:.

•Part I looks at approaches that combine human rights and development, including chapters on drivers of change; indicators; donor; and legal empowerment of the poor.

•Part II focuses on organisational contexts and includes chapters on the UN at the country level; EU development cooperation; PLAN’s children’s rights-based approach; and ActionAid’s human rights-based approach.

•Part III examines country contexts, including chapters on the ILO in various settings; the Congo; Ethiopia; and South Africa.

Children's lives in an era of children's rights : the progress of the convention on the rights of the child in Africa / Imoh, Afua Twum-Danso (ed.) ; Ansell, Nicola - (Routledge research in human rights law), xvii, 258 p.. - New York : Routledge, 2014.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which was adopted unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989, marked a turning point in the perception of children in international law and policy. Although it was hoped that the Convention would have a significant and positive impact on the lives of all children, this has not happened in many parts of the world. This edited volume, based on empirical research and Non-Governmental Organisation project data, explores the progress of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and to a lesser extent, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, in nine African countries in the 25 years since it was adopted by the UN General Assembly.

The book considers the implementation of the Convention both in terms of policy and practice, and its impact on the lived experiences of children in societies across the continent, focusing on specific themes such as HIV/AIDS, education and disability, child labour, witchcraft stigmatisation, street children, parent-child relationships and child participation. The book breaks new ground in blending legal and social perspectives of the experiences of children, and identifies concrete ways forward for the better implementation of the CRC treaty in the various political contexts that exist in Africa.

Children and the law : an interdisciplinary approach with cases, materials and comments / Federle, Katherine Hunt, xv, 1180 p.. - Oxford : Oxford U. P., 2013 .

ISBN 978-0-19-538799-5

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: A unique coursebook that integrates theory and practice while placing child law in a larger multidisciplinary context.

Includes cases, selected statutes and laws, and relevant excerpts from law review articles to provide students with a solid grounding in the law, as well as extensive excerpts from writings in other disciplines. Contains up-to-date coverage of most recent cases, statutes, and scholarly commentary.

The first juvenile law coursebook in the market to be organized around an explicitly interdisciplinary focus, including the coverage of social science research pertaining to children.

The study and practice of juvenile law is inherently interdisciplinary—a successful practitioner must understand not only the legal implications in the field, but also have a solid grounding in child psychology, child development, neuroscience, sociology, criminology, and social work. The best child-advocates in the law have a firm familiarity with and understanding of the value these other disciplines provide.

Children and the Law is a unique coursebook that will revolutionize the way students learn and apply juvenile law. By incorporating the interdisciplinary topics necessary to understand the best practices in child law, author Katherine Federle has carefully selected a vast array of articles, studies, research, cases and statutes that allow students to best understand the law and also help bridge the divide between theory and practice. The book is separated into four main sections: Children and Crime, Children and Protection, Children and Restraints on Freedom, and Children and Decision-Making. Each section in Children and the Law also includes a series of questions, exercises, and problems that encourage students to critically examine legal doctrine and policy in light of available scientific and socio-scientific scholarship.

Vulnerable children : global challenges in education, health, well-being and child rights / Johnson, Deborah J. ... [et al.] ; foreword by James Garbarino, xviii, 278 p.. - New York : Springer, 2013.

ISBN 978-1-4614-6779-3

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Explores child vulnerability and invisibility across nations and global cultures.

Examines development strategies and international conventions on children’s rights.

Emphasizes challenges of indigenous, refugee, immigrant, and American ethnic minority children.

Challenges standard responses to child vulnerability.

Offers perspectives of the children themselves.

Explores issues of child labor, fosterage, families, and education.

They are laborers, soldiers, refugees, and orphans. In areas of the world torn by poverty, disease, and war, millions of children are invisible victims, deprived of home, family, and basic human rights. Their chances for a stable adult life are extremely slim.

The powerful interdisciplinary volume Vulnerable Children brings a global child-rights perspective to the lives of indigenous, refugee, and minority children in and from crisis-prone regions. Focusing on self-determination, education, security, health, and related issues, an international panel of scholars examines the structural and political sources of children's vulnerabilities and their effects on development. The book analyzes intervention programs currently in place and identifies challenges that must be met at both the community and larger policy levels. These chapters also go a long way to explain the often-blurred line between vulnerability and resilience.

Key areas of coverage include:.

•Dilemmas of rights-based approaches to child well-being in an African cultural context.

•Poverty and minority children’s education in the United States: The case study of a Sudanese refugee family.

•The heterogeneity of young children’s experiences in Kenya and Brazil.

•A world tour of interventions for children of a parent with a psychiatric illness.

•An exploration of fosterage of Owambo orphans in Namibia.

•UNICEF in Colombia: Defending and nurturing childhood in media, public, and policy discourses.

Vulnerable Children is a must-have resource for researchers, graduate students, clinicians and professionals across a range of fields, including child and school psychology, social work, maternal and child health, developmental psychology, anthropology, sociology, social policy, and public health.

Law and childhood studies : current legal issues 2011 / Freeman, Michael (ed.) - (Current legal issues ; vol. 14), xii, 590 p.. - Oxford : Oxford U. P., 2012.

ISBN 978-0-19-965250-1

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Offers a broad overview of how both national and international laws affect children and childhood.

The latest volume in the established Current Legal Issues series, which brings together leading scholars from around the world to explore the interactions between legal thought and other disciplines.

Topics include cyber bullying, children's human rights, childhood in conflict-stricken areas, foster care, and parental discipline.

Current Legal Issues, like its sister volume Current Legal Problems (now available in journal format), is based upon an annual colloquium held at Univesity College London. Each year leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice. Law and Childhood Studies, the fourteenth volume in the Current Legal Issues series, offers an insight into the state of law and childhood studies scholarship today. Focussing on the inter-connections between the two disciplines, it addresses the key issues informing current debates.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: International Child Law examines and discusses the international legal framework and issues relating to children at both a global and regional level. Analysing both public and private international legal aspects, this cross-disciplinary text promotes an understanding of the ongoing development of child law and the protection of the child.

This second edition has been substantially updated and revised, and three new chapters have been introduced. Together with new material on sexual exploitation and children’s involvement in armed conflict, a new chapter on indigenous children’s rights responds to the recent United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child remains a central topic, and the mechanisms and policy underlying the Hague Conventions on Intercountry Adoption and Parental International Child Abduction are dealt with in two further chapters. Drawing on a genuine range of legal disciplines, International Child Law is a valuable resource for those in the course of study and research in this area.

Accounting for hunger : the right to food in the era of globalisation / De Schutter, Oliver (ed.) ; Cordes, Kaitin Y. - (Studies in international law ; vol. 36), x, 278 p.. - Oxford : Hart publ., 2011.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: The challenge of global hunger is now high on the agenda of governments and international policy-makers. This new work contributes to addressing that challenge, by looking at the obstacles which stand in the way of implementing a right to food in the era of globalisation. The book describes the current situation of global hunger; it considers how it relates both to the development of food systems and to the merger of the food and energy markets; and it explains how the right to food contributes to identifying solutions at the domestic and international levels. The right to food, it argues, can only be realised if governance improves at the domestic level, and if the international environment enables governments to adopt appropriate policies, for which they require a certain policy space. The essays in this book demonstrate that the current regimes of trade, investment and food aid, as well as the development of biofuels production – all of which contribute to define the international context in which states implement such reforms – should be reshaped if national efforts are to be successful. The implication is that extraterritorial human rights obligations of states (their obligations to respect the right to food beyond their national territories, for instance in their food aid, investment or trade policies), as well as the strengthening of global governance of food security (as is currently being attempted with the reform of the Committee on World Food Security in Rome), have a key role to fulfill: domestic reforms will not achieve sustainable results unless the international environment is more enabling of the efforts of governments acting individually. In this reform process, accountability both at the domestic and international level is essential if sustainable progress is to be achieved in combating global hunger.

Lapsen oikeuksien sopimusken käsikirja = Handbook for the convention on the rights of the child / Hetemäki, Inka (toim.), 605 p.. - Helsinki : Edita publ. , 2011.

ISBN 978-951-37-6073-1

LANGUAGE: FIN

INTRODUCTION: YK:n lapsen oikeuksien sopimus hyväksyttiin YK:ssa ja ratifioitiin Suomessa 1991. Kirjan tavoitteena on olla käytännön työkalu, vahvistaa sopimuksen asemaa ja helpottaa sen soveltamista. Kirja on käännös ja lyhennelmä teoksesta Implementation Handbook for the Convention on the Rights of the Child, jonka ovat tehneet UNICEFille Rachel Hodgkin ja Peter Newell. Jokaisen artiklan kohdalla on lisätty luku kyseisen artiklan toteutumisesta Suomen lainsäädännössä. Kutakin artiklaa avataan ja tulkitaan sopimusta valvovan YK:n lapsen oikeuksien komitean antamien yleiskommenttien, ja sen maille antamien suositusten ja huomautusten pohjalta. Tulkintaa syvennetään yhdistämällä asiat muiden sopimuselinten ja YK:n erityisjärjestöjen antamiin vastaaviin ihmisoikeussuosituksiin ja tulkintoihin. Kirjan läpileikkaavana ajatuksena on osoittaa lapsen oikeuksien kokonaisvaltainen luonne: ne ovat jakamattomia ja toisistaan riippuvaisia.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: This volume provides a series of critical analyses of some of the contemporary debates in relation to the human rights of children, resituating them within visions which informed the text of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. The studies embrace examination of some of today's widespread interpretations of the CRC, analysis of what is implied by a human rights-based approach in research and advocacy and consideration of advances and barriers to research and to several aspects of CRC implementation. With contributions by leading experts in the field, the book examines the CRC as an international instrument, its inherent dilemmas and some of the debates generated by the challenges of implementation. It embraces examinations of different levels of governance from the international to the state party, regional and local levels, including institutional developments and changes in law, policy and practice.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: This book is concerned with the most important source of child exploitation. It considers the eradication of the worst forms of child labour and the protection of the right of the child workers as a core labour, human rights and international trade law issue. The worst forms of child labour as set out in the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention No.182 on Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour 1999, including hazardous work, prostitution, child pornography, child soldiering and child trafficking, are endemic in the developing countries but some of them persist in the most developed countries. Therefore, this book examines the nature and scale of the problem in developing and developed countries. Further, it observes the role of child labour and the legislation pertaining to it. It explores what would be the best forum, mechanisms, strategies and instruments for the eradication of the worst forms of child labour. With this view, it investigates the roles – actions and potential of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the role of International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the effectiveness of WTO and ILO mechanisms in combating the worst forms of child labour.

INTRODUCTION: With a contribution by Nobel Prize-winner Amartya Sen and forewords by Navanethem Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and Louise Arbour, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The relationship between the processes of economic development and international human rights standards has been one of parallel and rarely intersecting tracks of international action. In the last decade of the 20th century, development thinking shifted from a growth-oriented model to the concept of human development as a process of enhancing human capabilities, and the intrinsic links between development and human rights began to be more readily acknowledged. Specifically, it has been proposed that if strategies of development and policies to implement human rights are united, they reinforce one another in processes of synergy and improvement of the human condition. Such is the premise of the Declaration on the Right to Development, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1986.

This book explores the meaning and practical implications of the right to development and the related term of human rights-based approaches to development and questions what these conceptions may add to our understanding and thinking about human and global development. Opening with an essay by Nobel Laureate in Economic Science Amartya Sen on human rights and development, the book contains a score of chapters on the conceptual underpinnings of development as a human right, the national dimensions of this right, and the role of international institutions. The authors reflect the disciplines of philosophy, economics, international law, and international relations.

This 2nd edition of the book, originally published in 2006, has been completely updated.

INTRODUCTION: Over recent decades, globalisation has stirred up a number of positive and negative developments in national and international environments. An important feature of globalisation is the rise of the economic, social, cultural and political power of corporations. While corporate activities may positively contribute to the livelihoods of individuals, communities and societies, a number of allegations have been made that corporations have been involved in systematically violating human rights. In contrast, only a limited of number of claims have been successfully brought against corporations or their directors and employees. As there is an urgent need for practical and victim-oriented solutions in the modern world in the area of human rights and business, this study argues that corporations have normative obligations in relation to fundamental human rights, around which there possibly appears to exist a value consensus across different cultures and societies around the world.

This study argues that the normative thrust of corporate human rights obligations derives primarily from national legal orders and only secondarily from the international level, whereas both draw their foundations from an international value system. Moreover, corporate human rights obligations may also derive from corporate unilateral commitments. The study argues that corporations should be held accountable for violations of human rights law.

Equally important to identifying corporate obligations is the question of how one can respond to corporate human rights violations. As international mechanisms are often ineffective and sometimes inexistent, the provision of effective remedies for victims of corporate human rights violations, the book argues, rests within national normative frameworks.

INTRODUCTION: Concerns associated with globalisation of markets, exacerbated by the 'credit crunch', have placed pressure on many nation states to make their labour markets more 'flexible'. In so doing, many states have sought to reduce labour standards and to diminish the influence of trade unions as the advocates of such standards. One response to this development, both nationally and internationally, has been to emphasise that workers' rights are fundamental human rights. This collection of essays examines whether this is an appropriate or effective strategy.

The book begins by considering the translation of human rights discourse into labour standards, namely how theory might be put into practice. The remainder of the book tests hypotheses posited in the first chapter and is divided into three parts. The first part investigates, through a number of national case studies, how, in practice, workers' rights are treated as human rights in the domestic legal context. These ten chapters cover African, American, Asian, European, and Pacific countries. The second part consists of essays which analyse the operation of regional or international systems for human rights promotion, and their particular relevance to the treatment of workers' rights as human rights. The final part consists of chapters which explore regulatory alternatives to the traditional use of human rights law. The book concludes by considering the merits of various regulatory approaches.

International economic actors and human rights / McBeth, Adam - (Routledge research in international law), xx, 364 p.. - London : Routledge, 2010.

ISBN 978-0-415-48670-5

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: In noting that the actions of entities other than states in the economic arena can and often do have a profound effect on human rights, this book poses the question as to how international human rights law can and should address that situation. This book takes three very different categories of international actor – the World Trade Organization, the international financial institutions (World Bank and IMF) and multinational enterprises – and analyses the interaction of each category with human rights, in each case analysing the interaction of the different fields of law and seeking to identify a role for international human rights law.

Adam McBeth concludes that each of the selected international economic actors can and should be considered to operate within a holistic system of international law, including human rights obligations, but that changes in the operations and the accountability mechanisms for each actor are necessary for the practical implementation of that approach.

While written from a human rights perspective, the underlying theme of the book is one of engagement and harmonisation rather than condemnation. It provides valuable insight for those who approach this topic from a background of international trade law, commercial law or general international law, just as much as those who have a human rights background. International Economic Actors and Human Rights will be of great interest to those studying or working in any field of international economic law, as well as human rights scholars and practitioners.

Children's rights and the minimum age of criminal responsibility : a global perspective / Cipriani, Don - (Advances in criminology), xvi, 232 p.. - Aldershot : Ashgate, 2009.

ISBN 978-0-7546-7730-7

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Children of almost any age can break the law, but at what age should children first face the possibility of criminal responsibility for their alleged crimes? This work is the first global analysis of national minimum ages of criminal responsibility (MACRs), the international legal obligations that surround them, and the principal considerations for establishing and implementing respective age limits. Taking an international children's rights approach, with a rich theoretical framework and the vitality of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this work maintains a critical perspective, such as in challenging the assumptions of many children's rights scholars and advocates. Compiling the age limits and statutory sources for all countries, this book explains the broad historical origins behind most of them, identifying the recurring practical challenges that affect every country and providing the first comprehensive evidence that a general principle of international law requires all nations, regardless of their treaty ratifications, to establish respective minimum age limits.

The challenge of child labour in international law / Humbert, Franziska, xvi, 435 p.. - Cambridge : Cambridge U. P., 2009.

ISBN 978-0-521-76490-2

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Child labour remains a widespread problem around the world. Over 200 million children can be regarded as child labourers, and about 10 million children are involved in producing either agricultural or manufactured products for export. Franziska Humbert explores the status of child labour in international law. Offering a wide-ranging analysis of the problem, she explores the various UN and ILO instruments and reveals the weaknesses of the current frameworks installed by these bodies to protect children from economic exploitation. After assessing to what extent trade measures such as conditionalities, labelling and trade restrictions and promotional activities can reduce child labour, she suggests an alternative legal framework which takes into account the needs of children.

• Analysis of provisions on child labour in international law helps reader understand the scope of its prohibition in international law and learn how the various ILO and UN instruments relate to each other • Focus on implementation and enforcement mechanisms demonstrates how the prohibition of child labour is applied in practice • Source material helps reader understand the conclusions presented

INTRODUCTION: ‘This collection offers a timely and important analysis of some of the key controversies surrounding the WTO. The editors are to be particularly commended for bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to shed new light on the subject of trade and human rights. Several of the chapters are likely to become classics in the field, and the volume in its entirety should be of great relevance to scholars and practitioners working in this challenging area. I can recommend it highly.’ – Amrita Narlikar, University of Cambridge, UK ‘The authors of this unique publication should be commended for providing a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the new trade and human rights debate. Their most notable achievement is their capacity to clearly demarcate the main parameters of all the legal, social, human and economic dimensions of the interaction between trade liberalisation and the protection of human rights. Avant-guardiste and now fully aware of today’s crises, the authors greatly assist readers in understanding the role that not only the WTO in particular, but also market opening and trade disciplines in general, play in the pursuit of enhanced human rights.’ – Gabrielle Marceau, World Trade Organization, Counsellor, Cabinet of the Director-General Pascal Lamy and University of Geneva, Switzerland This collection of essays from leading academics examines the connection between the World Trade Organization (WTO) and human rights issues, a topic which has provoked significant debate, particularly in the decade since the collapsed WTO talks in Seattle in 1999.

The editors argue that a true appreciation of the salient issues requires consideration of disciplines beyond the law, such as economics, political science and philosophy. This book builds on previous trade/human rights projects by adding that interdisciplinary dimension.

Bringing together trade scholars and human rights scholars from legal and interdisciplinary perspectives, The World Trade Organization and Human Rights will be an invaluable research tool for international scholars in human rights and trade, NGOs in the development sector and human rights, trade organizations and trade practitioners.

INTRODUCTION: Undoubtedly one of the paragons of public international law in contemporary times, Colin Warbrick is truly held in high esteem by his peers at home and abroad. His breadth of knowledge is reflected in a large number of scholarly works and in his appointment as a Specialist Adviser to the Select Committee on the Constitution of the House of Lords and as a consultant to both the Council of Europe and OSCE. This festschrift celebrates on his retirement as Barber Professor of Jurisprudence at Birmingham University, his extraordinary talent and academic career by bringing together a group of eminent judges, practitioners and academics to write on international human rights, international criminal justice and international order and security, fields in which Professor Warbrick has left an indelible mark.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: The effective promotion, protection and fulfilment of economic, social and cultural (ESC) rights is an important but under-explored component of international human rights law, of which ESC rights form an essential part. They are fundamental to the dignity of every person. At the international level ESC rights are protected in several international instruments, the most comprehensive being the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (the Covenant) ratified by a majority of States. However, claims of violations of ESC rights are treated less seriously. This book subjects ESC rights protected in the Covenant to a deeper analysis in light of the practice of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights while taking into account other relevant sources of ESC rights at national, regional and international levels. It also analyses key issues relevant to ESC rights, with particular emphasis on various themes including State obligations; non-State actor's obligations; women's ESC rights; domestic protection of ESC rights; and State reservations to ESC rights. The book further makes a thorough examination of the rights to work, health, and education. By so doing, it demonstrates that ESC rights are justiciable and must not be marginalised. The book also brings together a collection of essential materials on ESC rights needed to understand and analyse the subject. Written by an international human rights scholar, this timely work will be of value to all those interested in human rights and international law.

INTRODUCTION: A just international order and a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law need to include perspectives that take account of the standpoints, interests, concerns and beliefs of non-Western people and traditions. The dominant scholarly and activist discourses about human rights have developed largely without reference to these other viewpoints. Claims about universality sit uneasily with ignorance of other traditions and parochial or ethnocentric tendencies. The object of the book is to make accessible the ideas of four jurists who present distinct 'Southern' perspectives on human rights.

Presents the key works of four Southern jurists in their own words.

Sets the works and authors in their historical and political contexts • Raises issues of contemporary importance in world politics

The World Trade organization and import bans in response to violations of fundamental labour rights / Denkers, Jeroen - (School of human rights research series ; vol. 30), xii, 250 p.. - Antwerp : Intersentia, 2008.

ISBN 978-90-5095-855-4

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Trade and labour are connected in many ways. One aspect of their relationship revolves around the question whether products that are made in violation of labour rights should be banned from the markets of importing States. In the negotiation process which led to the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) this issue proved to be highly contentious. Since then not much has changed on the political level. Yet, it is not unheard of for States to raise import bans in response to human rights violations in exporting States. Therefore, it is likely that the WTO dispute settlement mechanism may at some point be confronted with a claim that one of the WTO Members has violated its WTO obligations because it has adopted an import ban in response to labour rights violations that occur in the exporting State. The World Trade Organization and Import Bans in Response to Violations of Fundamental Labour Rights investigates how the WTO dispute settlement mechanism should deal with such a case by looking into WTO law, general international law, and the relationship between these two fields.
