Courting social justice : judicial enforcement of social and economic rights in the developing world / Gauri, Varun (ed.) ; Brinks, Daniel M., xvii, 363 p. . - Cambridge : Cambridge U. P., 2008.

ISBN 978-0-521-87376-5

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: This book is a first-of-its-kind, five-country empirical study of the causes and consequences of social and economic rights litigation. Detailed studies of Brazil, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and South Africa present systematic and nuanced accounts of court activity on social and economic rights in each country. The book develops new methodologies for analyzing the sources of and variation in social and economic rights litigation, explains why actors are now turning to the courts to enforce social and economic rights, measures the aggregate impact of litigation in each country, and assesses the relevance of the empirical findings for legal theory. This book argues that courts can advance social and economic rights under the right conditions precisely because they are never fully independent of political pressures.

• First of its kind study of the causes and effects of social and economic rights litigation • Offers structured comparison of five countries: Brazil, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and South Africa • Develops new methodologies for analyzing the sources of and variation in social and economic rights litigation

Trafficking in human beings : modern slavery / Scarpa, Silvia, xxvi, 230 p.. - Oxford : Oxford U.P., 2008.

ISBN 978-0-19-954190-4

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: The first monograph study of the increasingly important phenomena of people trafficking.

Incorporates historical and social context with analysis of international legal instruments, treaties, and jus cogens.

In recent decades the international community has focused its attention on trafficking in persons, one of the most worrying phenomena of the 21st century. In Part I, this book examines trafficking in persons in the light of the recent definition of the phenomenon given by the UN Trafficking Protocol, and various other international legal instruments including treaties and 'soft law'. It analyses trafficking causes and consequences, and the most common forms of exploitation related to it.

Part II reviews the most important international conventions against slavery and the slave trade, and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. It also analyses the most important policy documents setting the basic standards of protection for trafficked victims - namely the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights' Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking - and comments on the extension of the jus cogens principle of international law that prohibits slavery, to argue that trafficking in persons ought rightly to be considered a part of it.

Part III deals with the Council of Europe and the European Union, and their fight against trafficking in people, arguing that the focus has been placed mistakenly on the prosecution of traffickers rather than on the protection of trafficked victims.

The book concludes with a recommendation to shift towards a more balanced approach to trafficking in persons, and the overriding need to conduct further research on specific issues related to the spread of trafficking and the exploitation of its victims.

ABSTRACT: CONTENTS:.

1. Trafficking in persons as one of the XXI century's new forms of slavery.

2. The international abolition of slavery and the slave trade and the action against trafficking in human beings.

3. Trafficking victim's protection in international human rights, criminal and labour law.

4. The fight against trafficking in persons and victims' protection in the Council of Europe.

5. The European Union and trafficking in persons: from traffickers' prosecution to victims' protection?

ISBN 978-0-7546-4887-1

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: This collection is anchored in an African conception of children's rights and the law, and reflects contemporary discourses taking place in the region of the children's rights sphere.

Human rights and structural adjustment / Abouharb, M. Rodwan ; Cingranelli, David, xiv, 276 p.. - Cambridge : Cambridge U. P., 2007.

ISBN 978-0-521-67671-7

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: 'Structural adjustment' has been a central part of the development strategy for the 'third world'. Loans made by the World Bank and the IMF have been conditional on developing countries pursuing rapid economic liberalization programmes as it was believed this would strengthen their economies in the long run. M. Rodwan Abouharb and David Cingranelli argue that, conversely, structural adjustment agreements usually cause increased hardship for the poor, greater civil conflict, and more repression of human rights, therefore resulting in a lower rate of economic development. Greater exposure to structural adjustment has increased the prevalence of anti-government protests, riots and rebellion. It has led to less respect for economic and social rights, physical integrity rights, and worker rights, but more respect for democratic rights. Based on these findings, the authors recommend a human rights-based approach to economic development.

PART I. The Argument:.

1. Structural adjustment programs undermine human rights. 2. Respect for human rights promotes development. 3. Theory.

INTRODUCTION: This book contains a selection of papers presented at the International Interdisciplinary Conference on Childrens Rights, which took place on 1819 May 2006 in Ghent, Belgium and was organised by a Belgian interuniversity research project on children's rights. The Conference aimed to evaluate how the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, more than 15 years after its coming into force, has furthered childrens rights, and to explore the challenges we still face in realising these rights. It did so in particular by creating an open forum where academics could meet and exchange views with other professionals, dealing with children's rights in practice. A wide range of topics is covered in the book, including monitoring of the Childrens Rights Convention, child labour, childrens rights and the family and juvenile justice.

INTRODUCTION: One interesting mechanism of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) is the divestment arrangement for the Norwegian Government Pension Fund (Global). The Norwegian Parliament established a Council on Ethics to advise on the exclusion of certain corporations from the portfolio of the Fund, to prevent complicity with violations of fundamental humanitarian principles, serious violations of human rights, gross corruption or severe environmental damage. The article explores two issues concerning this mechanism, one practical and one normative. The first concerns the exclusion mechanism’s implementation, the second what we are to make of efforts to impose normative constraints on profit-seeking economic activity. Sections 1 and 2 present the ethical guidelines and show how the Council decides on its recommendations. Section 3 considers whether such SRI by large investors can be said to be effective and legitimate responses to the new challenges wrought by economic globalization. Section 4 indicates three of several possible roles the SRI may play, while section 5 draws some conclusions. In particular, the Norwegian government’s divestment efforts – primarily aimed at preventing complicity – may serve to prevent wrong-doing by others under certain conditions.

Under each article of the Convention, this fully revised edition of the Handbook records and analyses the interpretation by the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the internationally elected body of independent experts established to monitor progress worldwide. The Handbook adds analysis of relevant provisions in other international instruments, comments from other UN bodies and global conferences, as well as illustrative examples. For each article there is an ‘Implementation Checklist’.

The Handbook adds analysis of the work of the Committee up to 2001. It includes the two Optional Protocols to the Convention, and their guidelines for reporting, as well as other new international instruments aimed at promotion and protection of children’s rights. It also includes the Committee’s first General Comment on the aims of education.

Throughout, the Handbook emphasizes the Convention’s holistic approach to children’s rights: that they are indivisible and interrelated, and that equal importance should be attached to each and every right recognized therein.

The book comes with a CD-ROM.

Child labour eradication : problems, awareness, measures / Shandilya, Tapan Kumar ; Kumar, Nayan ; Kumar, Navin, xi, 209 p.. - Delhi : Deep & Deep, 2006.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: "Children are the future of the society. Every child has a right to enjoy its childhood. It is the mandatory job of the government to take all possible steps to put an end to the problem of child labour. It is the obligation of every generation to bring up children who will be citizens of tomorrow in a proper way. Today's children will be leaders of tomorrow who will hold the country's banner high and maintain the prestige of the nation. If the government of India commits itself towards combating the problem of child labour, then it is sure that the children of India who at present have engaged themselves in long hours of work would enable to breathe the joy of freedom.

The prevalence of child labour is a bolt on the conscience of society. It harms not only the present generation but also the posterity. If one conceives the idea of child labour it brings before the eyes the picture of exploitation of little, physically tender, illiterate and under-nourished children working in hazardous occupation and unhealthy conditions. The problem of child labour is such that it can hardly be legislated away as its roots lie in abject poverty and backwardness of the society. As the problem of child labour is a global phenomenon, legislation and acts of ratification are important. Yet the future of children would not be secured unless their rights are clearly identified, redefined and restored. All children must be given an opportunity for development. The idea that children have special needs has given way to the conviction that they have rights such as civil, political, social, cultural and economic like adults have.

This book will be useful not only to those who are interested in the study and understanding of child labour but also the perspectives provided may be of considerable help to the students of social science, judges, academicians, politicians and others, interested in studying the growing problems of child labour."

INTRODUCTION: The essays in this volume explore some of the diverse and contradictory ways that the lives of women in the Asia-Pacific region are shaped by two powerful regimes - 'religion' and 'law' - and by the interactions between them. They show that for women, laws - customary, colonial, post-independence and international - and religions - indigenous or introduced, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Confucianism - have been a 'mixed blessing'. These diverse legal systems and religious doctrines and institutions have variously denied women authority and the capacity to participate fully in the public organization of social, political and religious life; they have furthermore constructed gender and familial relations in ways that subordinate women. Yet they have also offered promises of women's empowerment, and provided rules and procedures, norms, values, and interpretations of sacred traditions to deliver those empancipatory promises. Each chapter is devoted to a single state; first, the history and current framework of the national legal system is introduced; then the place of religion in the state is explained; and finally, by means of precise and detailed case studies or examples, each author explores how these sometimes competing, sometimes colluding regimes constructed women and how women interpreted this positioning and sought to resituate themselves.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: While law and development discourse has dealt with international poverty, advocates of poverty reduction usually operate within a nation-state context. This book provides a new framework for the future theoretical development of international poverty law. It also explores specific human rights initiatives that address particular aspects of poverty, including human rights conventions, measures to counter the tendency of intellectual property law to undermine food security, the right to food as framed in UN development documents, and the startlingly important development in South Africa of an alternative vision of constitutional law. The contributors position international poverty law as a legitimate field for multidisciplinary research and dialogue, and open up new arenas for international poverty law to contribute to addressing poverty reduction.

INTRODUCTION: Are efforts to protect workers’ rights compatible with the forces of globalization? How can minimum standards designed to protect labour rights be implemented in a world in which national labour law is more and more at the mercy of international forces beyond its control? And does it make any difference if we see rights such as the right to freedom of association, to non-discrimination in the workplace, to freedom from child labour, and to safe and healthy working conditions in terms of international human rights law? Or are they more appropriately seen as ‘principles’ to be promoted as and where appropriate? The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labour rights are to be protected in a globalized economy. But the report cards they give to the World Trade Organization, the European Union,NAFTA, and the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas are generally very critical. While there is a strong rhetorical commitment to labour rights, at least on the part of the US and the EU, the substance of what has been achieved to date is hardly impressive. The role of the International Labour Organization is central and the authors explore some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labour movement in the years ahead.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Description * Responsibility of Non-State Actors is one of the biggest and most critical challenges facing international law today * Covers the role of important non-governmental institutions including the IMF and the WTO * Assesses the challenge posed by the behaviour of transnational corporations Can transnational corporations ignore human rights as long as governments don't hold them accountable? If the UN is put in charge of a territory, is it bound by human rights law? Does that body of law apply to private security contractors who use torture to achieve their goals? Does the right to freedom of speech apply in a private shopping mall which has become the modern-day town centre?

Under traditional approaches to human rights, non-State actors are beyond the direct reach of international human rights law. They cannot be parties to the relevant treaties and so they are only bound to the extent that obligations accepted by States can be applied to them by governments. The result is that entities including Non-Governmental Organizations, international organizations such as the UN and the IMF, private security contractors, and transnational corportaions, along with many others, are generally considered not to be bound directly by human rights law.

This situation threatens to make a mockery of much of the international system of accountability for human rights violations. As privatization, outsourcing, and downsizing place ever more public or governmental functions into the hands of private actors, the human rights regime must adapt if it is to maintain its relevance. The contributors to this volume examine the different approaches that might be taken in order to ensure some degree of accountability. Making space in the legal regime to take account of the role of non-State actors is one of the biggest and most critical challenges facing international law today.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: The Human Rights Committee has, in its many years of existence, developed an extensive jurisprudence made up of concluding observations prepared in response to state reports, general comments on the interpretation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and views expressed in individual cases submitted under the First Optional Protocol. The ICCPR as a human rights treaty confers rights on individuals. Individuals are not only the bearers of these rights but also the ones who, filing their complaints to the Human Rights Committee, enable the committee to clarify the meaning of these rights. This book unites all elements of the jurisprudence of the Human Rights Committee. The views concerning individuals in concrete situations form the core of this book.

Can there be any universal children's rights? / Bentley, Kristina Anne

REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): The international journal of human rights : vol. 9; no. 1., p. 107-124. - London : Frank Cass, 2005. - ISSN 1364-2987

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: The article questions the normative universality of children's rights by considering the ideal definition of childhood implicit in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international law documents. It questions whether this definition has any universal purchase in light of different conceptions of childhood held across the world. The article distinguishes between rights that children have as human beings, and rights they are regarded as having by virtue of their age. The latter are regarded as problematic and the article illustrates this with examples that challenge the conception of childhood underlying the CRC. The article presents alternatives that may conflict with the assumptions underlying the CRC, and challenges the universal nature of the rights enshrined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Description There is mounting evidence that the economic globalisation project initiated after the fall of the Soviet Union is not keeping its promise of open societies and a freer exchange of goods, knowledge, ideas and more social justice. In fac, there are strong indications that such benefits are not equally divided, so between north and south and developed and developing countries. Responding to this evidence, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) established the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalisation in February 2002. In February 2004, following numerous international and regional conferences and consultations, the Commission s report, A Fair Globalization: Creating Opportunities for All, was presented to the Governing Body of the International Labour Organization, to the Secretary General of the United Nations, and to the heads of other UN agencies, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization. This volume represents the first in-depth evaluation of this important report.

The analyses and commentaries collected in this volume accomplish two essential tasks. They detail the findings and recommendations of the Commission, and they also spell out the implications of the Commission s report for the ongoing viability of economic globalisation in practice. The authors include ILO officials, representatives of both employers and labour unions, specialists in various work-related professions, and academics in disciplines related to work and society. Among the vital issues and topics covered are the following: # corporate social responsibility; # the challenge of child labour; # protected mobility for employment and decent work; # employment security; # the brain drain; # migration to the high-income countries; # psycho-social problems at work; # ageism; and # workers participation.

Several authors deal with the role played by other international organisations like the OECD and the EU regarding the social aspects of globalisation. Two important EU documents on the promotion of core labour standards and on the social dimension of globalisation are reprinted here.

Treating as it does one of the major problems our generation how to see to it that globalisation benefits all of us and not only a few Confronting Globalisation: The Quest for a Social Agenda promises to take its place as an indispensable resource for practitioners in many fields, from labour and employment law to health care and environmental policy. It is not too much to say that this book represents an immensely valuable contribution and commitment to the future well-being of the world we live in.

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Children's human rights are regularly violated around the world. We hear about graphic examples including child soldiers, child prostitutes, and children sold into slavery, but hungry, sick, and orphaned children are equally at risk and more prevalent. In the United States, children suffer similar abuses, but some are unique to the U.S. justice system. Unlike most of the rest of the world, the U.S. is a well-developed western nation in which juvenile offenders can be tried as adults and sentenced to death. This book brings together a wide array of original essays from a variety of academic and practitioner perspectives on human rights and the status of children. The details are disturbing; the message, powerful: We must vigorously extend the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the most vulnerable humans of all--the children of the world, starting at home in the United States.

Constitutional environmental rights / Hayward, Tim, xii, 236 p.. - Oxford : Oxford U. P., 2005.

ISBN 0-19-927868-7

LANGUAGE: ENG

INTRODUCTION: Description This book shows why a fundamental right to an adequate environment ought to be provided in the constitution of any modern democratic state. The importance of securing provision for environmental protection at the constitutional level is now widely recognized. Globally, more than 100 states make some form of provision for environmental protection in their constitutions. A question more hotly debated, though, is whether the provision should take the stringent form of a fundamental right. This book is the first to examine the question from the perspective of political theory. It explains why the right to an environment adequate for one's health and well-being is a genuine human right, and why it ought to be constitutionalized. It carefully elaborates this case and defends it in closely argued responses to critical challenges. It thus shows why there is no insurmountable obstacle to the effective implementation of this constitutional right, and why constitutionalizing this right is not democratically illegitimate. With particular reference to European Union member states, it explains what this right adds to states' existing human rights and environmental commitments. It concludes by showing how constitutional environmental rights can serve to promote the cause of environmental justice in a global context. The book provides illustrations from around the world of how human rights and environmental concerns have been linked to date, and highlights precedents for the future development of a fundamental right to an adequate environment. It will be of value to policy-makers, lawyers, campaigners, and citizens concerned with environmental protection as a public interest and fundamental right. It will provide a valuable resource for students and teachers in politics, philosophy, law, environmental studies, and social sciences more generally.

INTRODUCTION: Today, virtually all UN bodies and specialized agencies are undertaking efforts to incorporate the promotion or protection of human rights into their programs and activities. The United Nations and Human Rights examines these recent initiatives within the broader context of human rights practice. It provides the most up-to-date and incisive analysis of this increasingly important area of global politics. Issues that are examined include: * the historical and philosophical development of the UN human rights system * the UN structures and procedures for addressing human rights * changes to the UN human rights machinery post-9/11 * the managing of international conflict * the promotion of individual rights * the advancement of agendas of social movements This book is essential reading for students and practitioners of human rights, international relations and international law.

INTRODUCTION: No one will deny that labour standards comprise a necessary framework for balanced economic and social development. Yet on a global level such balanced development has not occurred, despite the existence of a rigorous body of international labour law that has been active and growing for eighty years. The implementation of this law devolves upon states; yet many states have failed to honor it. If we are to take serious steps toward a remedy for this situation, there is no better place to start than a thorough, well-researched survey and analysis of existing international labour law its sources, its content, its historical development, and an informed consideration of the barriers to its full effectiveness.

This book is exactly such a resource. It provides in-depth interpretation of the crucial International Labour Organisation (ILO) instruments - Constitution, conventions, declarations, resolutions, and recommendations - as well as such other sources of law as the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and various model and actual corporate codes of conduct. Among the substantive areas of labour law covered in this book are the following: # standards on industrial relations # the relationship between international labour law and economic competition # collective bargaining # protection of trade unions # prohibitions on enforced and child labour # promotion of equal opportunity and treatment # dispute settlement procedures # time and rest provisions # wage determination and protection # occupational health and safety provisions # special issues on non-standard forms of employment # foreign and migrant workers # social security provisions The presentation demonstrates that these rules and standards, notwithstanding their much-maligned intrinsic legal force, do in fact offer invaluable benchmarks to governments, judiciaries, employers, and trade unions. The book s combination of detailed commentary and an overarching social policy will make it especially valuable to legislators, regulators, employers organizations, trade unions, jurists, and academics concerned with the role of work in our globalised social system.
