This article examines the concept of women's mental health articulated as a human right in international documents & the current public health concern regarding the contribution of depressive & related anxiety disorder -- which disproportionately affects women -- to the global health burden. There is a growing awareness, supported by health research & accepted in recent international documents such as the Beijing Platform for Action, that gender inequalities & rights violations such as economic dependence, lack of decision-making power, conflicting gender roles, disproportionate domestic responsibilities, & violence are closely linked to mental health problems of women. The article argues that governments & international agencies, as well as women's health & rights advocates, must place more emphasis on mental health & its relationship to underlying gender discrimination & right violations. Adapted from the source document.
The economic practice of tin mining in Bangka-Belitung (Babel) Islands Province surely is not separated from direct or indirect of women involvement. The demography of mining society in Babel precisely displays of women are massively in mining arena. The rule of law and practice of mining tends to uncontrollable, liar, destructive and exploitative so far has shown surely the negative impacts which overburden the women position. On the other hand, they should be smarter in managing of domestic needs, nurturing their children; meanwhile, the others have to go down to the river, to 'camui-camui' (holes) as an ex of tin mining areas until evening. Moreover, they face several of complexities whether internal nor external threats; like domestic violence, divorce, gambling, HIV AIDS, a dangerous accident of mining, and etc. These reflect how dangerous, weak, and heavy of multiple burdens. Those are also relevant to the disease of tin mining which always shows some evidence; gambling, prostitution, alcohol, narcotics. However; women dominantly suffer social burden among capitalism war where tin has become an important material to support their industries. This article aims at exploring how far a critical feminist human right perspective could influence to bear on women's human right circumstance and complex burden faced in Babel. This project analyzed women's presence and also its burden in tin mining issues whether in private or public sphere. I addressed emerging issues and questions about the status of human rights in tin mining issues.

The prohibition of torture is also to be found in almost all domestic legal systems. Article 3 imposes both negative and positive obligations: that is an obligation to refrain from certain action, and obligations to take positive action to secure individuals their rights and to protect them from prohibited treatment. However, the numerous cases of the European Court on Human Rights indicates, that there is no clear understanding of the content and scope of the prohibition of torture or strong will of the state governments to respect this right. Therefore the object of the research is the content of the right not to be tortured, the obligations of the states in respect of this right and possible derogations in the conditions of public safety protection, the objective of this article is to disclose the scope of the prohibition to torture foreseen in Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and to discuss the possible circumstances in which a state may legitimately interfere with the exercise of this right basing its actions on protection of public safety. ; Europos žmogaus teisių ir pagrindinių laisvių apsaugos konvencija, pasirašyta 1950 m., tapo itin svarbiu žmogaus teisių apsaugos mechanizmu visose Europos Tarybos šalyse narėse. Šiame straipsnyje dėmesys sutelkiamas kankinamo, nežmoniško ir žiauraus elgesio draudimui. Kankinimo draudimas yra viena iš svarbiausių fundamentaliųjų žmogaus teisių, kuri indikuoja pagrindines visuomenės demokratines vertybes, todėl jos interpretacijos ir įgyvendinimas turi būti vykdomas atsižvelgiant į visus įmanomus šios teisės aspektus. Daug tarptautinių ir regioninių teisinių instrumentų tiesiogiai kalba apie draudimą kankinti ar žeminti asmenį, Europos lygmenyje vienas iš svarbiausių dokumentų, ginančių šią teisę, yra Europos žmogaus teisių ir pagrindinių laisvių apsaugos konvencija (jos 3 straipsnis). Šiame dokumente numatyta, jog kankinimų draudimas yra absoliutus ir jo turi būti paisoma visose ir bet kurioje situacijoje nepaisant jokių aplinkybių. Valstybės institucijos ir pareigūnai negali pažeisti šios teisės ar kitaip ją paneigti. Valstybei nustatyti pozityvūs bei negatyvūs įpareigojimai šios teisės atžvilgiu: tai yra, įpareigojimas susilaikyti nuo veiksmų, galinčių pažeisti šią teisę; įpareigojimas imtis veiksmų siekiant užkirsti kelią galimiems šios teisės pažeidimams; įpareigojimas užtikrinti, kad asmenys gautų visą galimą valstybės paramą bei politinius ir teisinius instrumentus tiriant jų atžvilgiu padarytus šios teisės pažeidimus. Esama daug veiksmų, kurie gali būti traktuojami kaip teisės nebūti kankinamam pažeidimai. Įvairiose situacijose, vertinant, ar elgesys asmens atžvilgiu buvo žeminantis, nežmoniškas ir kankinamas, yra vertinama aukos amžius, lytis, fizinė ir psichinė sveikata. Teisė nebūti kankinamam Europos žmogaus teisių konvencijoje išreikšta gana abstrakčiai, todėl ypatingą svarbą įgauna Europos žmogaus teisių teismo praktika aiškinant šios teisės turinį ir apimtį bei nurodant galimus teisės apribojimo aspektus. Didelis tokių bylų skaičius Europos žmogaus teisių teisme liudija, jog šios teisės turinys ir apsaugos ribos nėra iki galo suvoktos valstybių ir jų pareigūnų. Todėl šio straipsnio objektas yra kankinimo draudimo turinio ir ribų analizė, taip pat valstybių įsipareigojimų apimtis šios teisės atžvilgiu visuomenės saugumo kontekste. Straipsnio tikslas yra atskleisti teisės nebūti kankinamam bei nepatirti žeminančio, nežmoniško elgesio turinį, valstybės įpareigojimų įgyvendinant šią teisę apimtį ir ribas bei galimus šios teisės apribojimus. Straipsnyje siekiama aptarti atvejus, kai valstybei leidžiama riboti šios teisės įgyvendinimą, todėl yra analizuojama Europos žmogaus teisių teismo praktika.

Los desarrollos actuales de la teoría de género y de la crítica feminista constituyen líneas imprescindibles para el análisis y la implementación de políticas públicas con sensibilidad de género para comprender los grados y modos de exclusión y discriminación de las mujeres en general y de las diversidades sexuales en particular.
