Discusses the regime of President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali since he came to power through a coup d'état in Nov. 1987; success of the program of economic reform and the slower move towards political reform, marred by refusal to grant recognize political rights of Islamic groups and oppressive measures against them. Some focus on refusal to recognize as a political party the strongest Islamic challenger, the Mouvement de la Tendence Islamiste (MTI).

Can libertarians care about social justice? In Free Market Fairness, John Tomasi argues that they can and should. Drawing simultaneously on moral insights from defenders of economic liberty such as F.A. Hayek and advocates of social justice such as John Rawls, Tomasi presents a new theory of liberal justice. This theory, free market fairness, is committed to both limited government and the material betterment of the poor. Unlike traditional libertarians, Tomasi argues that property rights are best defended not in terms of self-ownership or economic efficiency but as requirements of democratic legitimacy.

The authors reveals the specifics of legal regulation of the right to work in the context of European integration. It is pointed out that Ukraine will be able to carry out effective reforms in the field of labor relations only through the understanding of the need to change the established view of the right to work in the European-centered dimension. The artificial nature of the legislative consolidation of the right to work in the USSR that aimed exclusively at the realization of state-building goals and objectives was established. In the 90's of the twentieth century the right to work compared to the Soviet understanding has changed from a subjective right to an objective right and an element of legal capacity. The authors emphasize that the adoption of the democratic and liberal Basic Law of Ukraine has led to the denationalization and return to the bosom of universal human rights the right to work, which in essence means freedom of labor. The nature and content of the right to work as a universal human right through the concept of negative and positive freedom is studied. The authors state that in the context of European integration the right to work should be understood as a person's opportunity to earn a living by freely chosen work, to develop through this work and to have a decent attitude and equal opportunities in the field of labor. ; Автори розкривають специфіку правового регулювання реалізації права на працю в умовах євроінтеграції. Вказується, що лише через розуміння необхідності зміни усталеного погляду на право на працю в європейсько-центрованому вимірі Україні вдасться провести ефективні реформи у сфері трудових відносин. Встановлено штучний характер законодавчого закріплення права на працю у СРСР, яке спрямовувалось винятково на реалізацію державотворчих цілей та завдань. У 90-ті рр. ХХ ст. право на працю, як порівняти із радянським розумінням, перетворилося із суб'єктивного права на об'єктивне право та елемент правоздатності. Авторами наголошується, що прийняття демократичного та ліберального Основного Закону України обумовило роздержавлення і повернення до лона універсальних прав людини права на працю, яке за своєю сутністю означає свободу праці. Досліджується природа та зміст права на працю як універсального права людини через концепцію негативної та позитивної свободи. Автори констатують, що в умовах євроінтеграції право на працю має розумітися як можливість людини заробляти собі на життя вільно обраною працею, розвиватися завдяки цій праці та мати гідне ставлення і рівні можливості у сфері праці.

The EU system for the protection of fundamental rights had been developing since 1969 until the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which established three areas for the protection of human rights. The first is based on the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the second refers to the general principle, as emphasized by the Court of Justice in its case law in the 1970s. The last area is the future one and it assumes strengthening the protection of fundamental rights within the Council of Europe system by obliging the EU to join the ECHR.The Charter of Fundamental Rights initially had the status of an inter-institutional agreement, which acquired binding force only under the Treaty of Lisbon. Currently, it is a document with normative power equal to primary law. Each of the Member States is bound by the provisions of the Charter within the scope of EU competences and when implementing the EU law. Poland and the United Kingdom are additionally parties to Protocol No. 30, which is also treated as primary law. In addition, Poland attached two Declarations to the Treaty of Lisbon. The analysis of the Charter's provisions and views of the doctrine clearly indicates that it is not a classic opt-out clause and the parties cannot release themselves from the obligation to apply the provisions of the Charter. The Declarations, on the other hand, are only political in nature and do not affect the scope of the Charter's application, but they define certain values that are important from the perspective of the Polish legal system. ; Sistem zaštite osnovnih prava Evropske unije razvijao se od 1969. godine do dana stupanja na snagu Lisabonskog ugovora, koji je uspostavio tri oblasti za zaštitu ljudskih prava. Prva oblast se zasniva na Povelji o osnovnim pravima; druga se odnosi na opšte načelo koji je Sud pravde proklamovao u svojoj sudskoj praksi 1970-ih godina. Poslednja oblast odnosi se na jačanja zaštite osnovnih prava u sistemu Saveta Evrope u budućnosti, koja podrazumeva obavezuju EU da pristupi Evropskoj ...

Vulnerability may arise from individual characteristics of individuals or social groups, employment conditions or as a result of difficulties in exercising fundamental social human rights. Principle of equity in terms of labor and employment as well as equity in health are closely linked and represented in a concept of decent work for all, promoted by the International Labor Organization. The concept of decent work aims to improve work conditions for the marginalized and vulnerable workers, where the notions ?vulnerable? and ?marginalized? represent people on the periphery of formal, standard employment, people working in an environment where the risk of being denied employment rights is high and also those who do not have the capacity to protect themselves from the abuse. The labor status of social groups whose personal characteristics, i.e. health characteristics, make them vulnerable in terms of work conditions and labor rights has been analyzed. In international, comparative and Serbian law, workers with disabilities are already protected by the special law provisions of professional rehabilitation and employment of people with disabilities. On the contrary, the status of workers who are not considered as people with disabilities but who are faced with some health problems are not recognized in the labor legislation and protected by the law. People with health problems may be those who are chronically ill i.e. people in a remission of a disease. Considering the current demographic process of population aging, an increase of elderly in economically active population/labor force could be expected, which also means the increase of chronically ill workers. This fact, argue in favor of regulation the labor status of people with health problems. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization, health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, where the third component of health ? social well-being could be used as justification for the integration of workers with health problems in the workplace. The aim is to prevent the occurrence of disability in terms of preventive approach. The integration and protection measures are represented in a form of flexible work arrangements (for instance, part-time work, tele-work), assignment a person with a health problem to another adequate job, establishment the right to a paid leave for the purpose of therapy by the law, prohibition of a night shift and overtime job for worker with health problems. The Serbian Labor Act (2005) has introduced a category of workers with the health problems and stipulates that those workers could not be assigned to a job that could have a negative effect to a health status/condition of an individual. A broader protection measures in terms of decent work and health equity, meaning that everyone should have a fair opportunity to attain their full health potential with the aim of performing major life activities, including working activities, are not introduced by the Serbian Labor Act. That need to be changed, taking into account the fact that the Serbian Disability Act does not recognize the workers with temporary or/and occasional health impairments, meaning that the special measures of professional integration of people with disabilities could not be applied to the people with health problems.

Diese Arbeit behandelt die Entwicklungspolitik der Weltbank. Speziell soll dabei die Rolle der Menschenrechte im Rahmen der Armutsbekämpfungspolitik der Weltbank beleuchtet werden, und welchen Veränderungen diese durch eine veränderte Menschenrechtspolitik der Vereinten Nationen unterworfen war. Der erste Teil der Arbeit dreht sich um die frühere Armutsbekämpfungspolitik der Weltbank. Dabei wird vor allem die Auswirkung des, der Entwicklungspolitik der Weltbank zugrunde liegenden, "Washington Consensus" untersucht. Dieser beschreibt eine Reihe von wirtschaftspolitischen Maßnahmen, die im Rahmen der von der Weltbank geförderten Projekte, umgesetzt werden sollten. In diesem Zusammenhang spielen die Strukturanpassungsprogramme, mit denen die Weltbank versuchte ihre wirtschaftspolitischen Forderungen in den einzelnen Staaten umzusetzen, eine wichtige Rolle. Im Anschluss werden die Instrumente des "Comprehensive Development Framework", und der "Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers" erläutert, mit denen es zu einer teilweisen Umkehr von dieser strengen Politik der Strukturanpassungsprogramme kam. In einem kurzen Exkurs wird auf die Arbeit und Wirkung des "Inspection Panel" eingegangen, der eine Möglichkeit für Individualbeschwerden gegen Projekte der Weltbank ermöglicht. Im zweiten Teil wird die Veränderung der Arbeit der Weltbank im Laufe der Jahre aufgrund der menschenrechtspolitischen Einflüsse der Vereinten Nationen aufgezeigt. Die Schwerpunkte bilden dabei der "Human Rights Based Approach to Development", das Konzept der "Menschlichen Entwicklung", und die Milleniumsentwicklungsziele. Am Ende der Arbeit wird mit den "Tilburg Guiding Principles" ein Konzept vorgestellt, welches die Menschenrechtspolitik der Weltbank besser mit deren Armutsbekämpfungspolitik in Einklang zu bringen versucht. ; This paper treats the development policy of the World Bank, specifically the role of human rights as part of the fight against poverty, and which changes were caused by the different human rights policy of the United Nations. The first part of this paper is about the World Bank's former poverty reduction policy. In particular, the impact of the development policies of the World Bank underlying the "Washington Consensus", is examined. This describes a series of economic measures that should be implemented in the framework of projects funded by the World Bank. In this connection, the structural adjustment programs, with which the World Bank tried to implement their economic demands in the individual states, play an important role. Following the instruments of the "Comprehensive Development Framework" and the "Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers" are explained, which led to a partial reversal of this strict policy of structural adjustment programs. A brief digression deals with the work and effect of the "Inspection Panel" which allows for individual complaints against projects of the World Bank.The second part tries to show that the work of the World Bank over the years has changed due to the human rights policy influence of the United Nations. The main focus is on the "Human Rights Based Approach to Development" , the concept of "Human development", and the Millennium Development GoalsAt the end of the work the concept of the "Tilburg Guiding Principles" is presented , which attempts to bring the human rights policy of the World Bank in better accordance with their poverty reduction policies. ; vorgelegt von Philipp Geiger ; Zusammenfassung (1 Blatt) ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der Verfasserin ; Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Diplomarbeit, 2016 ; (VLID)1378038

Hrvatska je na putu prema Europskoj uniji morala udovoljiti nizu zahtjeva. Unija je uvjete propisala na sastanku Europskog vijeća u Kopenhagenu 1993. godine, a prva skupina tih uvjeta uključivala je i zaštitu ljudskih prava i osobito prava manjina. Zaštita manjina bila je posebno važna u kontekstu oružanog sukoba koji se vodio na području bivše Jugoslavije. Tijekom devedesetih Hrvatska je postala strankom međunarodnih ugovora Vijeća Europe koji su se odnosili na zaštitu manjina: Okvirne konvencije za zaštitu nacionalnih manjina i Europske povelje za zaštitu regionalnih i manjinskih jezika. Prihvaćanjem ugovora Hrvatska se podvrgnula i međunarodnom nadzoru primjene i poštivanja svojih međunarodnih obveza. Prikazom i analizom izvještaja nadzornih tijela može se pratiti i u kolikoj je mjeri Hrvatska uspjela u tome. ; On its path to the European Union, Croatia had to fulfill a number of requirements. The EU defined the accession requirements at the meeting of the European Council in Copenhagen in 1993. The first group of requirements included the protection of human rights, especially minority rights. The protection of minorities was especially important in the context of armed conflict in the former Yugoslavia. In the 1990's Croatia became party to the international agreements of the Council of Europe related to the protection of minorities: Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. By ratifying these agreements Croatia has become subject to international monitoring of the application of its international obligations. The analyses of reports of monitoring bodies can show to what extent Croatia has succeeded in the implementation of these agreements.

El objetivo de este ensayo es centrarse específicamente en los derechos económicos y sociales de los pueblos indígenas reconocidos en la Declaración de Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas (DDPI), desde una perspectiva intercultural, derivando un posible contenido para los mismos a partir de los estándares y parámetros que el Derecho internacional de los Derechos Humanos nos oferta en relación a los DESC. Para ello, dividiremos la presentación de este escrito en cuatro momentos. Un primer momento, en el que se fijarán los criterios para interpretar jurídicamente todo el cuerpo de la DDPI. Un segundo momento, en donde se establecerá una metodología de lectura. Un tercer momento, en el que se relatarán y apuntarán, de manera intercultural, posibles vías jurídicas para interpretar y aplicar los DES de los pueblos indígenas. Finalmente, un cuarto momento, en donde se abordará de manera monográfica el contenido de los artículos que hacen referencia a los DES de los pueblos indígenas; esto es, el sugerente contenido de los artículos 17, 20, 21, 23 y 29. ; The aim of this essay is to focus specifically on the economic and social rights of indigenous peoples recognized in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (DRIP), from an intercultural perspective, leading a possible content for the same starting of standards and benchmarks that the international law of human rights we offer in relation to the economical and social rights (ESR). For this purpose we will divide the presentation in four moments. Initially, in which lay down the criteria for legal interpretation of the whole body of Declaration. A second stage, where we established a methodology for reading the DRIP. A third stage, in which we will fix a possible legal means to interpret and apply the ESR of indigenous peoples. Finally, we look through the content of the articles in reference to the social dimension of the rights of indigenous peoples: the suggestive content of the articles 17, 20, 21, 23 and 29.

El trabajo de Investigación que se presenta es un esfuerzo que conjunta diversas perspectivas filosóficas, con el fin de proponer marcos y horizontes actuales en torno a los derechos humanos, en el amplio campo la filosofía política. En primer lugar, se expone la ética de la justificación paulina, desde la lectura de las "Cartas" de Pablo de Tarso adelantada por Enrique Dussel. En segundo lugar, se recogen la defensa de la necesidad de fundamentación filosófica de los derechos humanos realizada por Angelo Papacchini y la filosofía de la realidad histórica de Ignacio Ellacuría, como marcos de comprensión y realización de los derechos humanos. Por último, se incorpora la ética de la memoria elaborada por Reyes Mate a partir de Walter Benjamin, como medio de reivindicación de los derechos frente a los horrores e infamias de la guerra y respuesta a nuestro compromiso por preservar la memoria histórica. Palabras clave: Derechos humanos, memoria histórica, filosofía política, ética de la memoria, reconciliación, verdad, justicia, política, realidad histórica. ; The research work presented is an intellectual effort to propose frameworks and current horizons for the foundation of Human Rights and somehow International Humanitarian Law, matters of their own though not exclusive to political philosophy. It is an effort that brings together diverse philosophical perspectives. First, the great glimpses of the ethics of the Pauline justification from the reading of the "Letters" of Paul of Tarsus, holding deep philosophical and theological content proposed by Enrique Dussel. Second, the recurrent defense of the need for philosophical foundation of human rights made by Angelo Papacchini against the positions of legal positivism that consider that such a foundation is no longer necessary since human rights are incorporated positively into the constitution of each state, therefore, this philosophical foundation is no longer require. In the same way, the proposal of philosophical foundation is incorporated from the philosophy of the historical reality elaborated by Ignacio Ellacuría, which is newly important and marked with a metaphysical accent. Finally, in the third place, the need to think about human rights is established from the ethical call of memory, in which the thought of Walter Benjamín and Manuel Reyes Mate stands out, giving thoughts about our horrible and infamous war days and our commitment to preserve historical memory. Key words: Human rights, historical memory, political philosophy, ethical of memory, reconciliation, true, justice, politics, historical reality. ; Magister en Filosofía latinoamericana ; http://unidadinvestigacion.usta.edu.co ; Maestría

Проблема прав человека рождается на границе юридической и философской дискурсивностей, отграничивая бытие смыслов юридического поля от смыслов философских. Ввиду того, что ее постановка во многом определяется как современная попытка переопределения человеческой сущности в условиях актуального бытия, она, бесспорно имеет онтологический статус, необходимость осмысления которого осознается далеко не всеми. Между тем, осознание ее онтологического ракурса позволяет не только обратиться к истокам представления о генезисе понимания человеческой природы, но и установить взаимосвязь между самоопределением человеческого бытия и его самопредставлением в структурах правового, политического и философского дискурсивных полей, пересекающихся в точке заданной проблемы. Конституирование человеческой природы посредством ее определения в границах тела, задает проблему прав человека в поле биологических смыслов, распределенных между крайними точками жизни и смерти. В этом случае, тема прав человека высвечивается в круге проблем «естественного права» на жизнь. Абстрактность понятия «человека вообще», к которому апеллирует идея прав человека, затрудняет самоопределение человеческого бытия в его конкретности. Первичное определение человеческой природы через ее отношение к божественному или животному, задает полемическое поле проблемы прав человека. В прояснении сущности человеческого в процессе ее бесконечного «очищения», или сегрегации человеческого общества по различным биологическим критериям, бесконечно продуцируются «остатки» деления, то есть «исключенные», или homo sacri как воплощение «голой» жизни. Движение завершается уничтожением носителей «жизни, недостойной проживания». Решение проблемы видится в ином представлении человеческой природы, где человек понимается как существо говорящее, которое способно бесконечно переопределяться в слове, и в каждом акте говорения всякий раз воспроизводить и дополнять собственное языковое бытие. ; The problem of human rights emerges on the border of legal and philosophical discourses separating the meanings of legal field from the philosophical meanings. This problem is largely stated as a modern attempt to redefine human nature in terms of actual being, that's why it undoubtedly has the ontological status which is essential for understanding but not all people recognize this fact. Meanwhile, the recognition of its ontological perspective allows not only to address the sources of ideas about the genesis of the understanding of human nature, but also to establish the relationship between self-determination of the human being and his self-representation in the structures of legal, political and philosophical discourse fields intersecting at a given problem. The constitution of human nature, by means of its determining within the boundaries of the body, sets the issue of human rights in the field of biological senses distributed between the extremes of life and death. In this case, the subject of human rights is displayed in the range of problems of "natural right" to life. The abstractness of the concept of a "man in general", to which the idea of human rights is appealing, hinders self-determination of human being in its concreteness. The primary definition of human nature through its relation to the Divine or the Animal sets the polemical field of human rights issues. In clarifying the essence of human during its endless "cleansing", or segregation of human society in various biological criteria, the "remainders" of such division are endlessly produced, i.e. the "excluded" or homo sacri as the embodiment of "bare" life. The motion ends with the destruction of the carriers of "life undeserving of living" The problem solution is seen in a different representation of human nature, which is understood as being a person speaking, having the ability to endlessly redefine himself in the word and to represent and complement his own language being in every act of speaking.

The mounting loss of the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples presents environmental as well as ethical issues. Fundamental among these is the sustainability of indigenous societies and their ecosystems. Although the commercial expropriation of traditional knowledge grows, rooted in a global, corporate application of intellectual property rights (IPRs), the survival of indigenous societies becomes more problematic. One reason for this is an unresolved conflict between two perspectives. In the modernist view, traditional knowledge is a tool to use (or discard) for the development of indigenous society, and therefore it must be subordinated to Western science. Alternatively, in the postmodernist view, it is harmonious with nature, providing anewparadigm for human ecology, and must be preserved intact. We argue that this encumbering polarization can be allayed by shifting from a dualism of traditional and scientific knowledge to anassemblageof local knowledge, which is constituted by the interaction of both in a third space. We argue that IPR can be reconfigured to become the framework for creating such a third space.

Dominant representations of Latinas in popular and scholarly literature narrowly portray Latina sexual practices. Latina sexuality is often dichotomized: we are categorized either as traditional and sexually repressed, or as acculturated and sexually liberated. These interpretations reflect ethnocentric and essentialized understandings of both Latina/o culture and human sexuality. Many authors assume that modern white sexuality has progressively become more liberated and is the healthy, right way to be sexual. Even some of the arguments and analyses of Chicanas/os and Latinas/os normalize assumptions about sexual expression and evaluate "traditional" Latina sexuality only in terms of "negative sex": negative sexual attitudes and experiences. Additionally, Juárez and Kerl recognize Latina writers-many leaders in lesbian/gay studies-who acknowledge that Latina sexuality is complex, diverse, and always locally and historically situated. They argue that Latinas may have unique ways of expressing sexualities, but are neither as repressed nor as oppressed as both popular culture and scholars would have us believe.
