The Principles relating to the status of national institutions (Paris Principles), define international standards under which the national institutions can be accredited by the International Coordinating Committee for National Human Rights Institutions. Despite the fact that six models of national institutions exist today (Human rights commissions, Human rights ombudsman institutions, Hybrid institutions, Consultative and advisory bodies, Institutes and centres and multiple institutions), all of them should meet the main criteria set out by the Paris Principles, i.e. a broad mandate, based on universal human rights norms and standards; autonomy from Government; independence guaranteed by statute or Constitution; pluralism; adequate resources; and adequate powers of investigation. Although the national institution can be accredited by the International Coordinating Committee with status "A" (voting member), status "B" (observer member) and status "C" (non-member), it should be pointed out that the given accreditation status can be changed. Therefore, by the accreditation and reaccreditation processes, the national institutions are enabled to achieve and / or maintain the standards established by the Paris Principles, i.e. to protect and promote human rights at national, regional and international level.

David Wojnarowicz and the Art Love/Hate Triangle: Artists, Art Institutions and the Right Wing Once the government had a stake in the business of art, history shows that gay artists could be tolerated but that representation of gay subject matter would be incendiary.

Research in recent decades has shown that an analysis of underground economy from the limiting perspective of economic factors of influence is insufficient. Through an integrative approach it is opened the way to a multidisciplinary and multi causal understanding of all factors (economic, noneconomic, quasi economic) that influence the phenomenon of underground economy. The present work pleads for the analysis of the concept underground economy (multidimensional and composite) through the instruments of study: the choices, institutions and direct democracy. The model of choices express the decision of labor force to activate on the official labor market or to the illegal labor market in the context given by opportunities, preferences and constraints. Institutions defines the capacity of regulation and implementation of government policies with implications in stimulating or discouraging economic subjects to hide activities in the sphere of underground economy. Direct democracy through its institutions (referendums, legislative initiatives) provides the political framework for the active involvement of the taxpayer as a voter or elector to a healthy and sustainable economic development. The results of active involvement of citizens consist in a more effective implementation of strategies and tax policies and a reduction of incentives to escape in the sphere of economic informality.

Although Sri Lanka made attempts to adopt policies of decentralization and democratic governance to enhance citizens' trust, the efforts had yielded very little success. As such, this study attempts to assess the level of citizens' trust in public institutions in the eastern province of Sri Lanka and explores the factors contributing to the decline of citizens' trust in public institutions. Both qualitative and quantitative methods consisting of questionnaire survey, in-depth-interview and focus group discussion as data collection techniques were employed in this study. Overall, it was found that the people have little trust in the public institutions due to lack of awareness, discrimination in terms of ethnicity, undue delay, lack of modern facilities and political influence. Thus, it is paramount on the part of government to address these challenges to restore the trust among the citizens on these public institutions.
