The safeguarding of human rights remains highly problematic, despite the proliferation of human rights instruments and the many actions taken by a variety of actors, such as governmental and non-governmental organisations, (individual) states and the international community over the past decades. Human rights violations do still occur on a large scale and injustice remains rampant. Central to this problem appears to be that social, economic, cultural and political structures in societies provide denialist defence mechanisms. Such deeply embedded denialism causes and/or facilitates human rights violations, because the true nature of the problems involved remains fully or partly unacknowledged and as a result appropriate action remains absent. In order to safeguard the effectuation of human rights it is thus pertinent to acknowledge and address this problem of denialism and develop strategies to move beyond it. To address the above-mentioned problem, an international conference was organised on the theme of Denialism and Human Rights by the Maastricht Centre for Human Rights in 2015, which brought together scholars, practitioners and students from various disciplines and fields to unearth and address denialism in the context of their own particular area of research. The present volume contains a unique collection of papers that were presented during the conference. The content of the papers ranges from more general reflections on the theme of denialism and human rights to more specific areas of research that are relevant in terms of denialism such as genocide, children's rights, the role of (inter)national organisations, penology, and social, economic and cultural rights

Der Sammelband versammelt die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse zu verschiedenen Aspekten der organisierten Kriminalität und die Antworten, die sich daraus weltweit entwickelt haben, um schwere Straftaten einzudämmen. Dieses Buch konzentriert sich insbesondere auf die Art und Weise, wie sich kriminelle Netzwerke und illegale Märkte in den ersten beiden Jahrzehnten des 21. Jahrhunderts entwickelt haben. Es wird untersucht, wie diese Entwicklungen die Motivationen und Möglichkeiten zur Begehung organisierter Kriminalität beeinflusst haben. Der Band konzentriert sich nicht nur auf illegale Aktivitäten auf illegalen Märkten, wie Drogen- und Menschenhandel, sondern befasst sich auch mit organisierter Kriminalität und Devianz in verschiedenen legitimen Branchen. Die Beiträge wurden auf Seminaren des Centre for Information and Research on Organized Crime (CIROC) vorgestellt und sind von besonderem Interesse für Wissenschaftler und Forscher der organisierten Kriminalität sowie für fortgeschrittene Studenten der Kriminologie auf der ganzen Welt.
