Abstract:

The following paper was presented at the inaugural Michael Hirschfeld Memorial Address hosted by the Amnesty International Freedom Foundation on 30 October 1999. Michael Hirschfeld was instrumental in establishing the Freedom Foundation in 1989. He wanted to help stabilise Amnesty International's financial base in order to guarantee the organisation's research and international campaigning efforts against gross human rights violations such as unfair imprisonment, torture and killings. His death at the beginning of 1999 shocked and saddened fellow Freedom Foundation members who determined to es

Abstract:

This essay examines why the recent recognition of human rights violations against women, as exemplified by Amnesty International's 1995 report on women, remains bound to the limitations of traditional approaches to human rights. The essay argues that despite Amnesty International's commitment to incorporating violations against women into its activities, it nevertheless upholds questionable assumptions about the gendered subject, gender relations within the family, and the relationship between the family and the state.

Abstract:

Malaysia is a country where the death penalty is still present and frequently practiced. It is due to different understandings of the death penalty itself. The absence of the Malaysian government in various international human rights treaties also increases unfair trials on death row inmates. The high number of death row inmates in Malaysia represents a severe human rights violation. The abolition of the death penalty is one of the current global human rights agendas. It goes against the right to live regulated by various international human rights instruments, such as the ICCPR (International

Abstract:

The human rights group Amnesty International has recently expanded the range of rights it promotes to include the right of persons with mental illness to enjoy the best available mental health care.

The report is critical of piecemeal reforms and inadequate resourcing of mental health services, and calls for a more compre

AbstractIn 2001, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) seminally found self-amnesty laws on serious human rights violations to be null and void.

Such supranational judicial authority has been exercised where amnesty laws and other exemption measures blocked judicial cases, democratic referendums upheld legislation, and peace-making processes existed.This article seeks to determine whether the traditionally interventionist jurisprudence of the IACtHR on amnesty laws/exemption measures has

This manuscript helps to resolve the ongoing debate concerning the effect of information communication technology on human rights monitoring.

With a new automated system, using supervised learning algorithms, we are able to extract the implicit taxonomies of rights that were judged in texts by the US State Department, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch over time.

The differential treatment accorded to this legitimate group within different policy networks is discussed with regard to pluralist and state autonomy theories. It concludes that present accounts of pluralism cannot be empirically differentiated from reasonable theories of state autonomy.

Abstract: This paper explores the dilemmas that social movement organizations face as they seek to conform to institutional norms in order to expand their media influence. In particular, I examine the similarity of strategic decision-making of two key organizations in the Human Rights Movement. The analysis shows how isomorphism occurred as both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch adapted their advocacy efforts and employee job descriptions to the tastes, routines and information demands of the global media. However, I also demonstrate that such pathways are disrupted as organizationa

Abstract:

Transitional justice refers to the set of judicial and non-judicial measures adopted by different countries in order to confront their dictatorial past. In practice, countries adopt different transitional policies according to their own political, legal, social, historical, and cultural traditions. This applies, for example, to Latin American countries, some of which enacted amnesty laws currently in force, while others tried and convicted those responsible for human rights violations. In this process, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has contributed significantly to the progress of tr

Abstract:

Most of the extraordinary waves of terror which have swept many Latin American societies since 1970 have occurred in guerrilla-based insurgencies or even civil wars. Because of the massive body counts produced during these confrontations between revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries based in or linked with a government, human rights organizations have issued a long series of reports about terror—especially that which has been carried out by incumbent regimes and death squads—and which has been supplemented by the exposés of the guerrillas themselves.

Since 2005, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has been exploring the use of Geospatial Technologies in a Human Rights Context. These efforts began under the auspices of the Science and Human Rights Program, and focused primarily on establishing whether and to what extent satellite imagery could be used to document human rights violations resulting from armed conflict. In partnership with Amnesty International, the project's first applications of this technology involved using visible and near-infrared satellite imagery to investigate reports of villages being burne

Resumo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a participação e mobilização da ONG Anistia Internacional no processo de criação do Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para os Direitos Humanos (ACNUDH). A mobilização da opinião pública mundial e o ativismo promovido pela Anistia foram essenciais para que a proposta de criação do ACNUDH fosse aceita consensualmente na 48ª Assembleia Geral da ONU, realizada em dezembro de 1993. Aspectos da estrutura organizacional desta ONG, especialmente sua distribuição geográfica e seu know-how estão relacionados ao lobby criado em prol dessa importante
