Activists in the age of rights : the struggle for human rights in Canada, 1945-1960.

▼ From 1945 to 1960 Canada began to move into what has been called “the age of
rights.” At the end of the Second World War the nation paid lip service to “British liberties,” but both the state and private individuals frequently violated the libertarian
rights of political radicals as well as the egalitarian
rights of certain unpopular ethnic and religious minorities. By 1960 a discourse of human
rights had largely replaced the British liberties approach, and the country enjoyed a far higher level of respect for minority
rights, in part because of a number of legal changes—Supreme Court decisions, anti-discrimination legislation, and a Bill of
Rights.
This dissertation examines this shift, focussing upon the activities of members of the Canadian “human
rights policy community.” Relying largely upon primary resources, it presents a number of case studies, demonstrating how human
rights activists dealt with the deportation of Japanese Canadians, the Gouzenko Affair, the problem of discriminatory restrictive covenants, the Cold War, the need for an effective fair accommodation law in Ontario in general and the town of Dresden in particular, and the struggle for a bill of
rights.
In presenting these case studies, this dissertation also focusses upon the activities of a number of key interest groups within the human
rights community: the coalition known as the Cooperative Committee on Japanese Canadians, the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Jewish Labour Committee, and a number of civil liberties organizations (especially the liberal Civil Liberties Association of Toronto and the communist Civil
Rights Union). Attention is paid to the reasons for their successes and failures; within the general context of economic, social, and cultural changes, special attention is paid to the way in which these interest groups made their own history, using their own history, using the resources available to them.

▼ This thesis illustrates the humanitarian crisis in Northern Uganda, with a focus on the Lord’s Resistance Army and their unprecedented recruitment of child soldiers. Along with demonstrating how the crisis unfolded during the two decades of civil war, I explain how and why children were used by military groups in Northern Uganda. To supplement my research, I offer a detailed look at a similar crisis in Sierra Leone and examine how this nation created the first Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) that dealt with child soldiers separately from adult soldiers. My research focuses primarily of the DDR programs of these two nations, and critically analyzes the successes and failures of both programs. The purpose of my research is to bring to light the importance of a strong, unified DDR program when children are involved in armed conflict. After careful examination of the DDR programs in both Sierra Leone and especially in Northern Uganda, I offer five major recommendations for future child soldier crises. My five recommendations are based on empirical evidence concluded from the successes and failures in Sierra Leone and Northern Uganda’s DDR programs. I also offer a theoretical framework which is designed to bring peace and stability to warring nations with poor human
rights. This framework demonstrates how peace can be reached in Northern Uganda, which I believe to the ultimate goal of any rehabilitation program in regions similar to Northern Uganda.

Water of discord, water of unity: an ethnographic study of the struggle for water rights in upper Mustang, Nepal.

▼ Although water
rights and property relations have become issues of strategic importance in recent water policy debates, legislation, and rural development initiatives, there is still a gap of understanding about what water
rights in practice are, how they are created and contested, and how these contestations modify social institutions. This ethnographic research, by integrating historical and comparative approaches, investigated how water
rights are defined and contested in a cold, arid region of upper Mustang in Nepal. The struggle for water
rights was found to take place at three levels: (1) to acquire and defend
rights to access water; (2) to defend to take part in collective decision making, and defining water
rights contents; and (3) to legitimize contesting claims. Social differentials, like classes created on the basis of inheritance of parental property, were the most decisive factors in defining an individual’s access to water and participation in the decision making process. The impartible primogeniture inheritance system, followed traditionally in the research villages, had created two classes of people, those inheriting the property, and those not inheriting the property. The struggle for water
rights has abolished the distinction between such classes in some villages. The inter-village contestation for control of water sources was largely dictated by the political power a village held and the local understanding of hydrology. These inter-village struggles for water
rights were found to be instrumental in developing cohesion within a village. The dynamics of struggle for water
rights were found to trigger change in social institutions.

A children's rights audit of the International Criminal

▼ Involvement with criminal proceedings can be a
daunting and stressful experience for children and may even have
adverse effects on children’s psychological and physical wellbeing
if proceedings are not conducted in a child friendly manner in
accordance with their basic human rights. While children have
traditionally played a marginal role at earlier international
criminal tribunals, children are increasingly involved in
proceedings at the International Criminal Court (ICC) as victims,
witnesses and potential recipients of reparations. This gives rise
to the question to what extent the laws, policies and practice of
the ICC in relation to child victims and witnesses meet child
friendly justice standards as set out in various international
children’s rights treaties and documents. In answering this
question this thesis conducted an audit of the ICC using a unique
child friendly justice measurement matrix. Using this matrix the
audit closely examined different institutional levels of the Court
in relation to five aspects of child friendly justice:
accountability for crimes committed against children; protection of
child victims and witnesses; children’s participation in ICC
proceedings; children’s role as potential beneficiaries of
reparations; and the adoption of institutional measures of
implementation.
The audit revealed that ICC ‘compliance’ with
children’s rights varies among different institutional dimensions
as well as among different categories of rights. Specifically, the
audit found that the ICC has a strong in principle committed
towards ensuring the protection of children’s rights. This is also
reflected in the legal framework of the Court with the inclusion of
a variety of ‘child friendly’ provisions relating to all aspects of
their interaction with the court. Nevertheless, the audit found
that this commitment is not fully translated into practice and that
practice in relation to children to date has been a mixed
experience. For example, the audit found that whilst the
realisation of accountability for crimes committed against children
has been relatively good in relation to the crime of the
recruitment and use of child soldiers but very limited in relation
to other crimes. Moreover, while the realisation of protection
rights of children has been fairly good, gaps remain in the
realisation of the participatory rights of children. The audit
identified the absence of certain necessary institutional measures
of implementation in particular the adoption of a court-wide
children’s strategy and training and awareness-raising of
children’s rights among all staff as obstacles preventing further
realisation of children’s rights at the Court.
The findings of
the audit make clear that the Court still has a long way to go in
being fully ‘child friendly’. The thesis argues that serious
efforts need to be made to ‘mainstream’ children’s rights into the
policies and practice of the Court. The thesis argues that
increased knowledge and understanding of children’s rights and
their specific needs and interests in the…

▼ On June 1 and 2, 1966, the White House sponsored the “To Fulfill These
Rights Conference†in Washington, D.C. Following a year of planning by a council of civil
rights activists, government officials, and big business and labor leaders, roughly 2500 people from diverse backgrounds and civil
rights experiences attended the conference. Previously neglected by other historians, the conference and its planning reveal two important and related dynamics of the movement: the shifting alliances among civil
rights leaders and the re-examination of civil
rights goals and strategies. In particular, debates over the conference’s list of invitees, format, and procedures capture disagreements between established civil
rights leaders, the White House, and labor and business leaders over who would, or could, direct the next phase of the civil
rights movement. Secondly, conference debates on the reach of federal power, affirmative action, Vietnam, the expansion of the movement, fears of imminent violence, and the emergence of Black Power reveal the conflicting ideas that would create deep divisions between activists, liberals, and the federal government in the late 1960s and years to come.

▼ International terrorism is a global problem that had negatively affected human
rights. Counterterrorism
measures had also impaired human
rights. Those problems have a serious impact on
the protection and implementation of human right standards. The impact of violent terror actions
as well as overreaction counter-terrorism measures adopted by states and different organs
occurred in different parts of the world. However, this paper basically discusses only selected
human
rights that had been severely and frequently affected by terrorist violent attack and
counter-terrorism measures in Ethiopia.
International human
rights like the right to life, the right to liberty, freedom of expression, and
the
rights that prohibit torture, arbitrary detention and inhuman treatment are some of the
recognized theoretical international human right standards given to all human beings. However,
these
rights are highly impaired by terrorist violent actions and governments counter-terrorism
measures. In Ethiopia, terror activities and actions and at the same time government’s military
and legislative responses affected those internationally respected human right standards.
Violent terrorist attacks conducted in Ethiopia by the domestic alleged ‘terrorist’ group-OLF
and ONLF according to the Ethiopian government and other groups-AIAI, AGAI, and Al
Shabaab had serious negative impact on the full enjoyment of human
rights. It had caused for
the death of several civilians, impose psychological fear, and restrict free movement. Counterterrorism
measures on the other hand had highly affected human
rights. That means, military
overreaction and anti-terrorism proclamation had brought many negative effect on the
protection and implementation of human
rights. Arbitrary killings, torture, detention, and
inhuman treatment had been caused by military responses. Infringement of the right to speech
and expression, unlimited police power to arrest suspected individuals, poor due processes of
law, and cruel treatment of suspected individuals are some of the serious human right violations
caused by the anti-terrorism proclamation.
Therefore, violent attacks caused by any of the suspected groups had impaired human
rights and
it had violated international human right standards. The government’s military action and
legislative counter-terrorism measures have also affected human
rights. So, violent actions of
suspected groups as well as counter-terrorism measures have been affecting the right to life,
freedom of liberty, expression, the right not to be tortured, arbitrarily detained, and inhuman
treatment in particular and human
rights in general.
For the purpose of this study, two methods of data collection-secondary sources gathered from
different literature and information from interviewees were used. Data were collected from
books, journal articles, internet sources, newspapers, and other governmental and
nongovernmental documents.

▼ This study was conducted to explore effectiveness of ‘Children’s Right Pictorial Booklet’
in awareness raising of children on child rights. Thus it employed reception analysis of
children with an objective to find out the meaning children make out of the magazine and
how they identify themselves with the stories in the magazine.
In the focus group interviews it was also found out that the main place where the
magazine is consumed is in class rooms and in homes of the respondents. It was also
evident that most of the respondents do not read the magazines purposely. In this study it
was also found out that children’s reading habit of the magazine is affected by various
factors like children’s lack of knowledge about the magazines availability in school
library and those who knew, only went to library to study.
In the focus group interview, the main themes of the magazines that are read by
respondents are compared to the meaning the respondents make out of the magazine.
Hence it was found out that respondents understood the intended meaning transmitted by
the magazine.
It was also learned that all respondents between the ages of 7-9 like the magazine for its
content, Child rights, while respondents between the ages of 13-15 like the magazine for
its pictorial and narrative presentation that makes it entertaining and educative. It was
also found out that children between the ages of 13-15 have a better understanding of the
story told and the pictorial presentation than children between the ages of 7-9. The focus
group interview has also been found useful in identifying how children, in terms of
gender vary in their interpretation of messages. Generally it was found out that there are
different factors that affect children’s reading habit of the magazine and the meaning
making of respondents varies mainly due to age and gender.

rights (CPR) ' will become quasi-justiciable at international level. Once the Optional Protocol will enter into force, individuals and groups victims of violations of any right contained in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights (the 'Covenant' or the 'ICESCR') will have the possibility to submit communications to the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights (the 'Committee' or the 'CESCR'), as long as the state concerned is party to the OP-ICESCR.

▼ A patriarchal reading of the Qur'ānic verse 4:34 implies the subordination of wives to their husband within their families. The fundamental duty of the husband to support his wife materially has led to the entrenched notion of male protection of women. In exchange for such protection, the wife has the reciprocal duty of obedience to her husband, which may lead to the restriction of her right to work, amongst other
rights. In contemporary societies where women are increasingly participating in the maintenance of the family, different interpretations of the verse are now becoming more influential than the patriarchal view. Allowing women access to equal opportunities on the labour market and to receive equal remuneration will not only contribute to the overall improvement of society but could also lead to the effective implementation of gender equality as required by international legal standards and religious doctrines.

▼ The following thesis work looks at programs by the United States government broadcaster, the Voice of America to international audiences during the Cold War. It analyzes news articles about the civil rights struggles in America in the 1950's and 1960's. This comparative discourse analysis identifies media frames and answers the question if there was an influence by the State Department in news output that was targeted towards audiences in the Soviet Bloc. The goal is to examine if there were propaganda elements in the stories or there were an objective account of events that questioned democratic ideals in the United States. This work explores reporting on five key events from the Civil Rights Movement and compares the coverage to the Soviet propaganda station Radio Moscow.

▼ Human
Rights instruments have not been applied equally to all people. This is evidenced
by the development of additional treaties such as the Convention on the
Rights of the
Child and the Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities. There is also no
universal set of
rights for animals suggesting we think differently about the
rights of
living creatures. This thesis drew upon three philosophical frameworks of
rights –
morality, moral sentiment and equality – to explore the dimensions that university
students use to consider the
rights of children, people with disabilities and animals. It
examined whether people define
rights of these populations differently, and what
theoretical dimensions underlie those definitions. The Concepts of
Rights Questionnaire
was administered and significant differences were found in participants’ support for
physical punishment and euthanasia depending on the target population as well as their
underlying theoretical belief. The results affirm that participants do not apply a universal
set of
rights standards to the three populations.

▼ This thesis investigates children's moral and political rights and, in particular, their rights to make decisions at various stages of development. Part I outlines and defends an empirically informed liberal framework for establishing children's rights to make decisions (i.e. their 'agency rights'). This framework is grounded within a respect- and autonomy-based approach to agency rights. It engages with empirical psychology, is attentive to the role of social structures in moulding children's psychology and in creating adult-child power hierarchies, and provides a cost-benefit mechanism for deciding how to recognise moral rights in law. In so doing, this framework provides a practical way of establishing moral and political rights, while being sensitive to the empirical reality of children's capabilities, including the ways those capabilities are socially constructed, all while keeping respect for children, and children's autonomy, at its centre. I conclude that children should generally have more agency rights than are currently recognised: their psychological abilities are often better than is generally assumed; we can help develop their psychological abilities; and where weaknesses remain, we can facilitate their decision-making through support, advice and dialogue. Part II applies the framework to voting, sexual consent, and age discrimination. First, I conclude that the voting age should be lowered to (at least) 16. Second, I argue that children have a right to extensive sex and relationship education and that policies and cultural images of childhood asexuality can make children vulnerable to exploitation. I also defend legal 'closeness-of-age' exemptions, which allow some individuals below the age of consent to engage in consensual sexual relationships with people of a similar age. Finally, I argue that everyone (including children) should be protected against age discrimination and I provide a framework for deciding whether an agency right should be allocated universally, with age-restrictions, or using competence tests.

▼ The global approach that pleads for the equality of all human beings and respect for human rights reaches children as well. Universal human rights should be awarded to all people and for all institutions, and, therefore, schools and children are no exception. Children's rights form an integral part of human rights.
This study sets out to explore a management model to assist teachers in implementing children's rights. The study argues that schools are expected to be places of support and respect for children's rights. Instead, extreme violations take place in some schools. This occurs in spite of the children's rights laws that are in place. Most of the human rights transgressions are committed by teachers. The study offers a new approach for teachers to respect and promote children's rights in schools. The new approach is in the form of a model.
A literature study and empirical research were undertaken, including national and international factors influencing children's rights. A number of serious gross violations were also explored. Qualitative focus groups and in-depth interviews formed the basis of the empirical research. Finally, a content analysis was conducted to categorise and evaluate data.
The findings revealed that teachers still use corporal punishment, even if it is totally outlawed. Other violations discovered included the following: verbal abuse, sexual relationships with girl learners, failure by teachers to attend classes and failure to treat all learners equally.
Recommendations in this study emphasise the need to train student teachers regarding human rights education. An induction programme for newly appointed teachers is viewed as ideal. Workshops are also recommended for both the teachers and Teacher Liaison Officers (TLO’s). The study finally identified areas in which further research should be done.

The constitutional rights of 'benefactor children' and 'saviour siblings' to bodily intergrity and autonomy.

▼ In modern society, children are acknowledged as bearers of both children‟s
rights and all other
rights in the Bill of
Rights which generally apply to children. One important right, outside of section 28, is that of bodily integrity or the right to control and decide what happens to their body. Therefore, children theoretically have the right to consent to medical treatment and surgery. However, children are generally deemed to lack the necessary maturity to make decisions of this nature and require parental consent before any medical procedure may be performed. Following the enactment of the Children‟s Act 38 of 2005, the age of consent for medical intervention was lowered to the uniform age of twelve. Children above the age of twelve are recognised as having the capacity to make their own decisions in respect of bodily integrity, whereas those under twelve still require parental consent. While this may be a positive evelopment, it is potentially problematic for two groups of children, known as „benefactor children‟ and „saviour siblings‟. In the last 50 years, there has been a noticeable advancement in the field of genetic research. One such development is the possibility of creating one child to save the life of another through tissue or organ donation. This has provided options to parents of children with life threatening conditions where before, there was little hope of a cure. Now, at the request of these parents, children can be specifically “genetically engineered” as an embryo, to become a tissue or organ match to a sick sibling. These children are known as „saviour siblings‟.
Another group of children has emerged. While not the result of “genetic engineering”, they serve a similar purpose in being potential life-saving donors to an ill sibling and are known as „benefactor children‟. Both categories of children enjoy the protection of fundamental
rights. For those who are under twelve years of age however, the right to bodily integrity can be infringed upon by the proposed surgical removal of organs or tissue for the benefit of a sick sibling, based purely on a parent‟s consent. At stake too, is the right to reproductive autonomy. Parents bear children for a number of different reasons, which can include raising a child to save the life of
another. As they have the right to reproductive autonomy, adults are able to decide when they want children and for what reason they want children, which can include the various techniques used to bring about „saviour siblings‟. However, as
rights are mutually interrelated and nterdependent, they cannot be viewed in isolation. Therefore, it must be asked: does a person‟s right to reproductive autonomy, as guaranteed by the Constitution, justify interference with an embryo? As an embryo is not recognised in South African law as a legal
subject, it will be difficult to justify interference with this right on this basis. The right to consent to medical intervention only from age twelve was described as potentially problematic for „benefactor children‟ and „saviour siblings‟,…

Questions of Sovereignty: Pyramid Lake and the Northern Paiute Struggle for Water and Rights.

▼ The current U.S. government policy of Indian Self-Determination is determined by the principle of tribal sovereignty, which defines how issues identified in Indian Country are addressed. However, tribal sovereignty represents an ideal that has regularly been ignored or contested by private and corporate entities, as well as state and federal government agencies. My research explores this case study of the successful assertion of tribal sovereignty by the Pyramid Lake Paiute tribe as they worked to save Pyramid Lake, the spiritual and economic heart of their reservation.
The Pyramid Lake Tribe employed several strategies to secure water for Pyramid Lake and to save the endangered endemic species of fish, the cui-ui and Lahonton cutthroat trout, from extinction. They were opposed by an iron triangle composed of the Nevada Group, an interest group of Nevada water users, the Bureau of Reclamation, and Nevada's congressional delegation which tried to monopolize the waters of the Truckee River. Through numerous court cases and lobbying Congress, the Pyramid Lake Tribe was able to establish that no water issues could be settled without their input. With this nearly all stake holders entered into negotiations to reach an agreement that would serve the needs of every group: the Truckee-Carson-Pyramid Lake Negotiated Settlement Agreement, or PL101-618. The Truckee River Operating agreement was then worked out over the next eighteen years to operationalize PL101-618.
I also explore the question of "where sovereignty lies," which has important implications for legitimacy of government. For the U.S. government, sovereignty on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian reservation lies with the enrolled members of the tribe; however, there is evidence that for some of the people at Pyramid Lake, sovereignty lies with the families. I suggest this disconnect may drive factional conflict within the Pyramid Lake Tribe, which interferes with tribal governance.
The members of the Pyramid Lake Tribe and their council are actively working to find solutions to issues created by the limitations of tribal sovereignty and resolutions to the internal conflict that creates animosity among the tribal members. They favor solutions that do not limit their sovereignty.

▼ This thesis makes the normative argument that intersectionality should be taken seriously by the United Nations in their efforts to address Sexual and Reproductive Health and
Rights (SRHR). This work suggests that, in spite of widespread recognition of the value of intersectionality for approaching issues of SRHR, the UN has insufficiently adopted the theory into its policy and practice. At the international policy level, intersectionality is nearly absent as a paradigm, yet its central components are dominant within mainstream development discourse. These components include discourses of women's empowerment, human
rights, and men's involvement. Drawing on critical feminist and race theory, I argue that a narrow gender vision of SRHR is not sufficient and that intersectionality should be recognized both in discourse and practice by UN agencies. This argument is examined along the parallel tracks of the population movement within the UN system and the evolution of the global women's movement (GWM). This study shows that the UN system has traditionally adopted the approaches and discourses of the global women's movement, as analysed over four decades of UN population movement discourse. However, a shift occurring at the new millennium, as well as significant political barriers barring a discussion of race and racism, have led to a break in this relationship, damaging the take-up of GWM discourse. The conclusion drawn from this argument is that SRHR is an intersectional issue and the new and emerging intersectional paradigm must be adopted by the UN in order to effectively address SRHR on a local and global scale.

▼ Recent reports evidence the existence of substantial number of children with disabilities
across the globe, the majority of which live in the developing world. Such children have been
marginalized section of the society in all places mainly in socio-economic areas. During the
past four decades there have been developments in the recognition of such facts at the UN,
regional and national levels. Accordingly, various conventions and declarations aimed at
promotion and protection of their
rights, including the 2006 Convention on the
Rights of
Persons with Disabilities are adopted. The treaties provide for a range of socio-economic
rights by mainstreaming their issues and designed various measures of implementation for
effective realization of the
rights. As a State Party to many of the treaties, this paper analyses
the issue of implementation of socio-economic
rights of children with disabilities in Ethiopia
by evaluating the Ethiopian experience vis-à-vis international standards set under the ratified
treaties. The core assertion of the paper is that even if Ethiopia has ratified many of the
treaties much has yet to be done to effectively realize socioeconomic
rights of children with
disabilities in the country.

▼ Married women have had a discriminatory history where their rights to own property are concerned. For instance, until the nineteenth century, English common law did not recognise any rights of a married woman to exclusively own property. This position was justified by the doctrine of the unity of personality. Despite the fact that in many instances, married women contributed directly or indirectly, the position remained unfavourable to women.It followed therefore, that the plight of the married woman pertaining to property rights extended to, and manifested itself on the dissolution of marriage. Women initially had little, if any at all, claim to family property afl;er divorce. The predicament was however, remedied by the passage of a number of legislation which recognised married women's property rights during matrimony and on divorce.In a number of English speaking Afiican developing countries, on the other hand, the advent of colonialism introduced a dual legal system of customary laws and imported English law operating concurrently. The problem of such duality has been the difficulty of reconciling the two legal systems.A proposal of women's property rights on divorce, the problem has been acute in that although English law recognises such rights, the indigenous customary laws do not. In Zambia, for instance, customary law is unwritten and uncertain. This nature of customary law, coupled with the practice of mixing the two legal systems which are divergent especially in the area of family law, has rendered the whole issue of women's property rights after divorce undefined.Subsequently, it will be the contention in this paper, that certainty and lack of
definition of women's property rights after divorce, together with the practice of the indigenous customary laws are of graver effects on the woman married under customary law when compared to her counterpart married under statutory law.The primary aim and objective of the research will therefore be to illuminate the fiandamental and distinguishing features of statutory and customary law pertaining to women's property rights after divorce in an attempt to discover how best a unification of the two Zambian systems may be achieved, so as to ameliorate any inequalities, injustice and hardships likely to ensue.This paper will begin with an introduction which will focus on tracing the historical development of Zambian laws appertaining to women's property rights after divorce. This will include the major developments introduced by various legislation. Further, focus will be placed on tracing the influence of traditional society in women's property rights after divorce and its development to modem society. After discovering the relevant historical developments of both statutory and customary laws, chapter two will analyze specific provisions of statutory law and varying customary law relating to the procedure of property disputes. The analysis will be made with a view of pointing out the common factors in the customs which will in turn highlight the contrast with the…

Constructing normative ethics for child protection and children's rights in a multicultural but largely secular society : a defence of children's graced autonomy.

▼ The thesis defends a critical theological engagement with rights and autonomy as the basis for protecting children. It was prompted by child protection cases encountered as a lawyer involving families from minority religious communities. The cases raised questions about cross-cultural norms for child protection. The need for such norms, emphasised in the Laming report into Victoria Climbie's death through exorcism, is further highlighted by phenomena like forced marriage and 'honour' killing. Government documents and judicial decisions assume that such norms are found in children's rights and welfare. Yet welfare is indeterminate and in some circles rights are seen as incompatible with religion, unrealistic in their universal aspirations and criticised for liberal assumptions about autonomy and reason. The problems are examined through contextual illustrations from contemporary debates about forced marriage, religious dress, 'honour' killings and sexuality, corporal punishment, faith-based education and adoption. The introductory chapter sets out the problematic, methodology, legal and religious sources and paradigms and the limits of the research. The second chapter considers earlier explorations of cross-cultural bases for child protection norms and identifies their limitations; in particular assumptions of agreement over what constitutes harm are challenged. Chapter three examines specific illustrations of secular or liberal concern which highlight differing understandings about what is harmful for children. In chapter four the worldviews, epistemology and theology underlying such differences are examined in greater depth, identifying divergent views about autonomy as a key factor in the differences. Chapter five considers the concept of autonomy from the perspective of Christian theology, particularly that of Karl Barth and Christian arguments concerning rights. This process enables the construction of a theological defence of autonomy and rights in which autonomy is understood not as libertarian freedom but as the graced uniqueness of cognitive, affective and bodily integrity and identity inherent in all human beings from birth. Such autonomy is the gift of personhood in 'what is least fathomable and controllable in the human subject' that human rights are designed to protect. Graced autonomy can only be lived in relationship with family, community and God but recognises that without respect for each person's integrity and worth right relationship is impossible. Rights are defended as necessary in addressing distortions of power even exploitation which subordinates the interests of some to more powerful others, both individuals and communities. Rights based on graced autonomy also provide more substance to what constitutes worth in terms of the material, social and participative. The sixth chapter assesses the compatibility of the paradigm of graced autonomy with Islam and Judaism whilst the seventh and final chapter considers the implications of the paradigm for various areas of public and legal debate…

▼ In 2002 the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of
2002 (MPRDA) was promulgated to regulate the exploitation of minerals
and petroleum in South Africa. With the promulgation of the MPRDA
landowners’ rights regarding the minerals embedded in their land have
been annihilated. South Africa’s mineral and petroleum resources were
statutorily bequeathed to all the people of South Africa and the state was
statutorily appointed as the custodian thereof for the benefit for all South
Africans. All the rights to minerals have been severed from the
ownership of land and the MPRDA does not recognise the existence of
common law mineral rights as they existed directly before the MPRDA
took effect. As a result thereof, landowners are not entitled to
compensation for the loss of the minerals that are mined from the soil of
their land. In addition, landowners ostensibly no longer possess the right
to enforce negotiations regarding compensation for losses suffered or
damages caused during the course of mining operations.
It is against this background that this study seeks to determine to what
extent the MPRDA or common law provide for the protection of
landowners’ rights regarding compensation claims against the holder of
statutory prospecting or mining rights for the infringement of their
ownership brought about by mining activities on their land.

▼ The thesis draws on the author's own contribution to a co-authored text Wolhuter, et al, 2009), which was aimed at introducing students to the legal landscape pertaining to victims'
rights in England and Wales. All the arguments presented and issues addressed in this contribution constitute the author's own work, and were developed without any form of collaboration with the co-authors. While the thesis incorporates the basic issues that arose for consideration in the author's contribution to this text, it goes beyond this contribution to develop a systematic framework for the recognition of enforceable victims'
rights flowing from the overarching rules of EU law. The thesis explores the extent to which the entrenchment in English law of enforceable
rights for victims of crime in general, and socially unequal victims in particular, will reduce secondary victimisation at the hands of criminal justice agencies. The absence of such
rights in English law constitutes a significant lacuna in the state’s responses to victims, particularly in light of the recent recognition of enforceable victims’
rights in EU law. The thesis accordingly seeks to contribute to the generation of a victims'
rights discourse in the UK, with the aim of encouraging the introduction of enforceable
rights for victims. To this end, it engages in a comparative analysis of victims'
rights in EU law, European human
rights law and American law. It contends that the United Kingdom ought to agree to be bound by the Draft Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing minimum standards on the
rights, support and protection of victims of crime (2011, the "Victims' Directive"), which will render the victims'
rights enshrined therein directly enforceable in national courts. In addition, it considers each of the
rights in the Framework Decision on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings (2001/220/JHA), and its prospective successor, the Victims' Directive, including the
rights to information, respect and recognition, protection, participation and compensation, pointing to ways in which these
rights may be given full effect in English law. In particular, the thesis advocates the recognition of active victim participation to empower victims in the pre-trial and trial processes. It maintains that the models of active victim participation in German and Swedish law, namely auxiliary prosecution and victims’ lawyers, reduce secondary victimisation, particularly for vulnerable victims of serious offences, and ought to be introduced in English law. The thesis also evaluates the position of socially unequal victims, namely women victims of gender-based violence, minority ethnic victims of racially and religiously motivated crime, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ("LGBT") victims of homophobic and transphobic crime, and victims of elder abuse. It locates these victims within the framework of international and European human
rights law, and recommends reforms to English law that would facilitate and enhance their exercise of the…

Searching for transitional justice mechanisms in the Kurdish question in Turkey : addressing violations of social, economic and cultural rights.

▼ Transitional justice has tended to prioritise civil and political rights (CPR) violations over economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) violations and often left structural violence and root causes of violence un(der)addressed. This thesis advocates that when addressing violations of ESCR, the examination of structural violence and roots causes of violence is critical for transitional justice processes to provide a fully-fledged response to past wrongs. The Kurdish Question (rising from problems regarding the Kurdish identity and the protracted conflict between the Turkish state and a Kurdish separatist organisation) has long troubled Turkey. Although the Kurdish Question is mainly rooted in political and identity-based problems, the Turkish state discourse has framed it as a socioeconomic and terrorism problem. This makes the conflict and solution complex since even if the conflict is based on political problems, there remains a pressing need to deal with socioeconomic issues. Considering that transitional justice contexts are often complex (and they require complex solutions), this thesis advocates an approach to transitional justice which goes beyond pure legalism. This study examines transitional justice processes of East Timor and Peru to draw lessons from their experiences. East Timor and Peru provide important insights for Turkey as they also faced serious socioeconomic problems (violations of ESCR, and in particular forced displacement) during their transitional processes. This thesis argues that ESCR violations (especially forced displacement) and socioeconomic inequalities need to be addressed through a set of mechanisms which must be designed and implemented through a participatory, holistic, and grassroots approach. The local actors including victims and survivors must have a role in decision-making, design, management and implementation processes of transitional justice mechanisms to ensure that the response to past wrongs really answers the needs and demands of the affected people and communities. It must be noted that this thesis does not draw a roadmap for a future transitional justice process in Turkey as that needs to be done through a thorough consultation process with relevant actors. Given that the conflict is ongoing in Turkey and the country (unlike many transitional countries) has substantial resources (financial and institutional) to allocate to transitional justice efforts, Turkey is a significant case study for the field. The original contribution of this thesis to knowledge is addressing the Kurdish Question from a transitional justice point of view incorporating ESCR.

▼ Constitutionalizing access to health care has been a positive force for Brazil and South Africa to improve people’s wellbeing. Since the establishment of the constitutional right framework, health has become a universal right and a responsibility of the state in Brazil and South Africa. In both countries, the right to health has been mobilized by a wide variety of actors from civil society that rose specifically in a constitutionalized space to take advantage of the context to judges and politicians. Furthermore, the right to health care creates an environment that brings together the network of people living with disease with civil societies to frame demands for treatment as a constitutional right in both public campaigns and in court filings. Constitutionalization also helps Brazil and South Africa alleviate health care disparities by playing a part on the initiation of a set of the national rural health mission.

▼ Abstract
This doctoral thesis argues that Aboriginal languages have a special constitutional status under section 35 (1) of the Constitution Act, 1982. It also sets out the broad lines of how constitutional recognition could be achieved.
Using the framework established by the Van der Peet case (that in order for an Aboriginal activity to be recognized as an Aboriginal right it must be demonstrated as a practice, custom, and tradition at the time of contact with a “modest” ability to evolve”) this thesis argues that special constitutional status must be obtained due to four reasons.
First, Aboriginal customary law forms the basis for Aboriginal language
rights and a duty to transmit language to future generations. Using inter-customary and historical language practices between European and Aboriginal peoples this thesis also suggest that linguistic exchange created a unique body of law and formed the basis for relationships between diverse cultures and national groups.
Secondly, this thesis traces the disruption Canada’s assimilation policies have had on Aboriginal languages, particular in educational policy and residential schools. It is argued this was a violation of Canada’s common law as inter-customary law and Aboriginal language
rights was not extinguished or surrendered by law or treaty. This forms a large part of what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has called Canada’s “cultural genocide” – a practice successive federal governments have admitted as wrong and now commit to rectifying in policy and practice.
Thirdly, Aboriginal languages as ongoing parts of Aboriginal customs, practices, and traditions today, this thesis cites Aboriginal people’s advocacy for language preservation and promotion through law; ongoing attempts to express constitutional recognition regionally; the unwritten principles of the Canada’s constitution; and government recognition of the centrality of Aboriginal language through constitutional negotiations, national studies and Royal Commissions.
Fourthly, it is asserted that International law is a crucial arena in which Aboriginal language
rights can, has, and should be asserted.

Factors Influencing the Extent to Which Child Rights NGOs In Tanzania Adopt Rights-Based Approaches.

▼ The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which local nongovernmental organizations in Tanzania adopt
rights-based approaches. In addition, it attempted to identify internal and external factors associated with the degree of adoption of the
rights-based approach. The
rights-based approach calls for increased attention to the roles of nongovernmental organizations as advocates rather than direct service providers.
Informed by innovation adoption and social development perspectives, the study employed a quantitative approach to survey a sample of local organizations focusing on child
rights in Tanzania to assess the extent to which factors such as having a supportive leadership, NGO’s staff capacity on child
rights, NGO’s source of funding, NGO’s religious association, geographical location, perception of national policy/legal system, and community perceptions of child
rights, influence the extent to which NGOs adopt
rights-based approaches in their work.
The study shows that receiving funding from both international and internal sources and how an NGO perceives the policy/legal framework for children in Tanzania, are important external (institutional) factors for predicting the extent to which local child
rights NGOs adopt
rights-based approaches. Contrary to the initial hypothesis, and some recent research on adoption of
rights-based approaches in Africa, receiving funding from international sources only does not seem to have a strong influence on the adoption of
rights-based approaches in this sample of local NGOs. This signifies a pragmatic and adaptive mechanism by local organizations to shifts in the global aid paradigms by diversifying their sources of funding. Likewise, NGOs with a more favorable view of the policy/legal framework for children are found to adopt
rights-based approaches to a greater extent than those with a less favorable view. This study also shows us that internal factors, particularly leadership support and staff capacity to implement
rights-based approaches, are important predictors of adoption of
rights-based approaches. Motivating and supporting employees to learn about, and use,
rights-based approaches, are important predictors of adoption of
rights-based approaches by local child
rights NGOs in Tanzania.
On the other hand, the study demonstrates that
rights-based approaches are not understood to mean the same thing even by organizations that are part of the same NGO Forum. In addition to having these different interpretations, NGOs are also engaged in a selective process choosing to appropriate different elements of the
rights-based approaches that are most salient to their local cultural contexts and program objectives.
Lastly, this group of NGOs have shown us that there has not been a complete move from needs based approaches to
rights-based approaches. Some of the organizations in the Forum see
rights-based approaches as the provision of services thereby highlighting the necessity for direct service provision as part of the
rights-based agenda. These local NGOs help…

▼ “Strapped: A Historical Analysis of Black Women and Armed Resistance, 1959-1979” is an intellectual and cultural study that broadens our understanding of the Black freedom movement by analyzing Black women who engaged in armed resistance from 1959 to 1979. I argue Black women increasingly embraced the tactic of armed resistance as a tool to achieve full freedom in post-World War II America. This work is significant because it offers a departure from previous scholars who have overwhelmingly assumed that armed resistance was the primary domain of Black men including Tim Tyson and Lance Hill. My doctoral project offers a different interpretation by separating armed self-defense from masculinity. I draw from and build on the histories of Black women, gender theories, and social movement scholarship to show that armed resistance was prevalent among Black women. Using a vast array of primary source materials such as newspapers, interviews, organizational documents, and government surveillance records, I analyze how the government's response to citizens' demands for civil and human rights shaped the tactics Black women employed, including armed resistance. I trace the evolution of the philosophy of armed resistance in the mid-twentieth century.

The Hidden Politics of Voting Policy Retrenchment and the Future of the Voting Rights Act

▼ This Dissertation explains the gradual erosion of the Voting
Rights Act through an examination of the subterranean political battles that took place within the Justice Department, the courts, Congress, and the States between 1965 and 2013. It then looks to the future of the Voting
Rights Act and offers legal and legislative strategies that could rehabilitate the statute’s framework and aims. Its central goal is to reveal like never before the hidden politics of voting policy “retrenchment.”
Retrenchment refers to the efforts of opponents to reverse, blunt, or erode a policy commitment. Though scholars have come to view retrenchment as a distinctive political process focused on “blame avoidance,” rather than “credit claiming,” our understanding of this concept is still in its infancy.
This Dissertation stretches our knowledge of retrenchment in three distinct ways. First, unlike prior research—which has focused nearly exclusively on conservative opposition to the distribution of benefits under programs stemming from the American welfare state—it ventures into an unexplored realm: that of civil
rights generally, and the Voting
Rights Act in particular. Second, this Dissertation’s examination of retrenchment efforts in each political arena is far more granular than previous studies. For instance, it drills down to the legal doctrine at issue, and explains how the policy commitments encapsulated in that doctrine were progressively weakened over forty years. Third, this Dissertation is far more rigorous in its investigation of how the political dynamics of one arena can mediate retrenchment efforts in others. Specifically, it employs an original dataset consisting of every case litigated by the Civil
Rights Division’s Voting Section to show how Congress, the president, and regulated parties impact retrenchment at the Department of Justice.
This Dissertation teaches that retrenchment must be understood as a multi-faceted phenomenon that occurs throughout the government ecosystem. It also instructs that the nature and form of the policy at stake are crucial to determining where retrenchment will predominate. Finally, it suggests that our definition of “retrenchment,” and the typology of methods for accomplishing it, must expand beyond their current boundaries.

▼ Universal to every society is the institution of marriage. How partners are selected, however, varies. While some selection procedures adhere to the human
rights of the women involved, others such as bride abduction do not. Bride abduction has been considered as the carrying away of a girl by total strangers to a young man’s home with the aim of marrying her. Whilst the number of girls affected by this practice is not known, evidence from Central Asian and South Africa suggest that bride abduction is wide spread. In Ghana, since studies have not focused on the experiences of the women married through abduction, this study was conducted to explore the experiences of women married through abduction and the factors that sustain it in the Jirapa district. The study employed a qualitative approach. The target population was all women married through abduction, men who abducted and community leaders in the Gbari and Vinving communities in the Jirapa district. Using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques, the study selected a total of twenty participants for the research. The study found out that all participants indicated that they grew up knowing and accepting the practice and due to tradition and peaceful coexistence they do not follow up to make trouble when girls are abducted. This study found out that the abuse of ancient traditions has resulted in young women being kidnapped and raped in our society. The study recommends that chiefs, elders and opinion leaders of the communities experiencing bride abduction must re-examine and redefine the culture surrounding marriage practice. Redefining the tenets of the culture will mean altering aspects of the culture that infringe on the wellbeing and happiness of the individuals in the community.

A minimum core content to the right to health for HIV-positive persons under South Africa's transformative constitution.

▼ This dissertation is an evaluation of the concept of a minimum core content to the
constitutional right to health, with particular reference to HIV-positive persons in
South Africa. The analysis involves an assessment of what the minimum core entails;
whether such a formulation is necessary in the South African health context; the
application of the concept in national and international law; as well as enforcement and
implementation in the South African context.
An appraisal of the South African social reality reveals the extent of the suffering of
HIV-positive individuals and the difficulties experienced in accessing health care,
especially for the vulnerable and disempowered. The problem is exacerbated by a
critical inadequacy in national jurisprudence which fails to generate certainty in respect
of the minimum, basic entitlements of affected people.
Such a shortcoming maligns transformative constitutionalism, which requires the
judiciary to develop a construction of human
rights that accords with the canons of the
Constitution. It is argued that one such course of action is the adoption of the minimum
core, which prescribes a basic level of human
rights that is guaranteed to all people –
and which may withstand legislative challenge on the basis of resource constraints or
progressive realisation.
Reference to international law, in terms of Section 39(1) of the Constitution, assists us
to overcome the shortcoming in domestic legislation in this regard. Of particular
relevance is covenantal guidance offered by the ICESCR, and its guidelines of
interpretation, which include the CESCR General Comments and the WHO
recommendations.
It is postulated that a minimum obligation to HIV-positive individuals under the right
to health encompasses the duty of treatment and prevention and control in respect of
the epidemic, on a non-discriminatory basis.
Enforcement and implementation of such core obligations must be strictly and
timeously effected. Of crucial importance in such a process is a competent judiciary
that is able to resist an undue deference to the legislature. A review of court judgments,
however, reveals an inadequate judicial approach to the implementation of socioeconomic
rights and an appeal is made to the Constitutional Court to re-commit itself
to an interpretation of the Bill of
Rights that accords with Constitutional values, such
as uBuntu.
