Despite the ubiquitous Occurrence of the word huqq in the works ofclassical jurists, a precise definition has never been articulated. Earlier religiousscholars have relied on its literal meaning, while modem scholarshave tried to provide a comprehensive definition. This essay looks intothe definition of haqq and ascertains, on a selective basis, some aspectsthat have engendered controversy and debate. It also discusses the tendencyin Islamic law to place greater emphasis on obligations than onrights. I have attempted to develop a perspective on this and have, in themeantime, ad&essed the suggestion by westem commentators that theShari'ah does not recognize rights, but only obligations.The answers given are partly the outcome of my reflections based onnearly a decade of intermittent research on basic rights and liberties in Islamiclaw. I have tried to advance an understanding of this basic and yetcomplex juridical issue and have related my analysis to the ongoing debateon the general subject of human rights. An adequate understandingof haqq in Islamic law quires looking into sseveral related themes, andmy attempt to do this has enabled me to identify the roots of what I regardto be a petsistent misunderstanding of Islamic law on this subject ...

The research aims to analyse the case law of the Constitutional Court in respect to restrictions on the fundamental rights of convicted individuals in correlation with society’s views of convicts. To do so, along with the methods of legal science, i.e., analysis of legal provisions and case law, the research uses sociological concepts, methods, and sources. The fundamental rights of an individual require that the State protects every individual’s human dignity in equal measure. However, even modern-day society still stigmatises particular groups of individuals, restricting their rights without good reason. The case law of the Constitutional Court of Latvia marks convicted individuals as a stigmatised group with limited rights. In the cases analysed in the research, not even the minimum standards of fundamental rights protecting personal privacy were applied to persons serving a sentence for serious offences, with no individual assessment provided for, because society’s opinion, among other things, denies prisoners such fundamental rights. Furthermore, a part of the convicted individuals suffers a life-long stigma as they keep being restricted in their rights – e.g., rights to employment or to family life – even after the conviction has been expunged. The State has to realise if it limits possibilities for convicted individuals to lead a legitimate life enjoying full rights, probability of repeated offences by such individuals will be higher. By unreasonably restricting inclusion of convicted individuals in its life, society endangers rather than protects itself.

So far, EU treaty law does not encapsulate any individually justiciable rights to a clean environment or to health. The article explores whether individuals can rely on the environmental duties embodied in the European Union Charter of Human Rights (EUCHR), and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in cases falling within the scope of EU environmental law. Moreover, it takes a close examination of the case law of both the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights regarding the standing of individuals whose environment is impaired.

Faced with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to better understand and contain the disease’s spread, health organisations increased the collaboration with other organisations sharing health data with data scientists and researchers. Data analysis assists such organisations in providing information that could help in decision-making processes. For this purpose, both national and regional health authorities provided health data for further processing and analysis. Shared data must comply with existing data protection and privacy regulations. Therefore, a robust de-identification procedure must be used, and a re-identification risk analysis should also be performed. De-identified data embodies state-of-the-art approaches in Data Protection by Design and Default because it requires the protection of direct and indirect identifiers (not just direct). This article highlights the importance of assessing re-identification risk before data disclosure by analysing a data set of individuals infected by Covid-19 that was made available for research purposes. We stress that it is highly important to make this data available for research purposes and that this process should be based on the state of the art methods in Data Protection by Design and by Default. Our main goal is to consider different re-identification risk analysis scenarios since the information on the intruder side is unknown. Our conclusions show that there is a risk of identity disclosure for all of the studied scenarios. For one, in particular, we proceed to an example of a re-identification attack. The outcome of such an attack reveals that it is possible to identify individuals with no much effort.

Full textAbstract:
Good administration is a European administrative principle that could be deemed as an instrument for enhancing transparency, legal certainty and predictability in administrative procedures. There is no certain definition for the principle. The definitions differ depending on the disparity of the viewpoints. Charter of Fundamental Right of the European Union classifies the principle as one of the fundamental rights of individuals, while the European Union’s Courts differentiate between the various sub-components of the principle to establish a comprehension for their characteristics. The current article suggests that the principle could be understood from both sides, although perceiving it as a fundamental right would more reasonably establish a stronger protection for the individuals in their contact with the administrative institutions; as the individuals’ rights are now more central in the modern administrative systems around the globe.

The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 provides for the right to property in Article 40. Further, in Article 43 (1)(b), it provides for the right to accessible and adequate housing. The purpose of this article is to show the conflict that arises between the right to property for owners of land and the right to housing of the informal settlers living on these privately owned lands. The main objective is to investigate the concept of illegal forced evictions and the legal framework that surrounds the practices that render such evictions against the principle of human dignity and the right to accessible and adequate housing in the context of informal settlements. The 2010 Constitution states that every person shall enjoy the rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights to the greatest extent consistent with the nature of the right or fundamental freedom. This renders important the concern that arises when persons informally settle onto land that they have no legal title to; what is the balance to be maintained between property rights and housing rights as provided for in the Bill of Rights.

AbstractWhat is the relationship between human rights and the rights of states? Roughly, while cosmopolitans insist that international morality must regard as basic the interests of individuals, statists maintain that the state is of fundamental moral significance. This article defends a relational version of statism. Human rights are ultimately grounded in a relational norm of reciprocal independence and set limits to the exercise of public authority, but, contra the cosmopolitan, the state is of fundamental moral significance. A relational account promises to justify a limited conception of state sovereignty while avoiding the familiar cosmopolitan criticisms of statist accounts.

Esto trabajo busca presentar las reflexiones sobre el concepto de los derechos fundamentales sociales como aquellos que requieren acción positiva de los Poderes públicos para garantizar condiciones de vida digna a todos los hombres. En la introducción, serán presentadas las clasificaciones de Donnely, Laporta y Noriega, para, después, tratar de la posición constitucional del tema en España para se construir el concepto de libertad solidaria señalando-se como el punto de partida para criticar posiciones de extrema derecha e izquierda donde se propone que es necesario reconocer la libertad solidaria como el mecanismo de comprensión de los derechos fundamentales, aunque parezca un concepto contradictorio. Puesto el concepto de libertad solidaria, pasa-se a criticar la tesis de que los derechos fundamentales sociales sean apenas principios de política económica y social o metas políticas. Los derechos sociales fundamentales se afirman como derechos fundamentales individuales y así deben ser reconocidos. O sea, los derechos fundamentales individuales u sociales son inescindibles. En fin se tratará de la delimitación del concepto de derechos sociales fundamentales a partir del estudio de los conceptos jurídicos de los derechos generales, derechos fundamentales y posiciones iusfundamentales.

Access to potable water is absolutely essential to the maintenance of life, as well as to provide regular exercise of other human rights. The lack of access to water in sufficient quantity or access to non-potable water may cause serious and irreparable damage to people. This paper investigates the evolution of international and national recognition of this fundamental human right, whether implicit or explicit. This was accomplished by the study of international human rights treaties, bibliographic information on water resources and their corresponding legal systems, national and international. The results suggest that sustainable access to drinking water is a fundamental human right in the context of international relations and the State. Further, even without explicitly stating this right in the Constitution of 1988, Brazil has incorporated the main international provisions on the subject, but this right must be acknowledged according to the principles of non-typical fundamental rights and the dignity of the human person. This right should be universally guaranteed by the Government in sufficient quantity and quality, regardless of the economic resources of individuals.

Trata-se de estudo de Direito Constitucional acerca dos direitos fundamentais. Inicialmente estudam-se os conceitos de direito subjetivo e de direito fundamental, elencandose as suas assim chamadas “gerações”. Após, enfrenta-se a construção doutrinária dos “deveres de proteção” dos direitos fundamentais. De mão desses conhecimentos, volta-se o foco, na segunda parte, para a teoria da “eficácia contra particulares” dos direitos fundamentais. Inicialmente, ubica-se-a no fenômeno maior da “Constitucionalização do Direito Privado”. Após, enunciam-se as teorias contrapostas que se construíram para a explicação dessa “eficácia contra particulares”, apresentando-se solução de conciliação. Aborda-se também particularidade processual atinente à divisão de competências dos tribunais de Brasília (STF e STJ) para aplicação da “eficácia contra particulares”. Conclui-se, finalmente, sobre possibilidade de superação dos riscos que os detratores dessa teoria levantam, contanto que respeitados determinados marcos teóricos.This is a study on Constitutional Law about fundamental rights. First are focused the concepts of subjectiv right, fundamental rights, and its “generations”. Afterwards the attention shifts to the “duty of protection” of the fundamental rights. In the second part, the doctrine of the “effect of fundamental rights against private individuals” and the opposing theories about it are researched, with the proposal of a conciliatory solution. Then, the particular division of judiciary competences in Brasilia (between STJ and STF) to enforce that doctrine is targeted. Finally, the study concludes in favour of the possibility of avoiding the risks presented by the enemmies of that doctrine, if some theoretical marks are respected.

O presente trabalho aborda a técnica da fluid recovery utilizada para a liquidação e execução de ações coletivas em defesa de direitos individuais homogêneos. Objetiva-se estudar como esta técnica pode servir para a ampliação do acesso à justiça e concretização do direito à tutela executiva, que é corolário do princípio do devido processo legal. O microssistema da tutela coletiva é utilizado como referencial normativo do processo coletivo brasileiro. A fluid recovery é abordada, desde a sua origem, nos Estados Unidos da América, sendo também observado o desenvolvimento do instituto nos países da tradição da common law. Diante da previsão da fluid recovery no Código Brasileiro de Defesa do Consumidor, indaga-se como esta técnica deve ser aplicada para a máxima efetivação de direitos.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo essencial da tese é o exame específico dos Direitos Humanos Fundamentais e dos princípios respectivos, sobretudo aqueles relativos à dignidade da pessoa humana e ao valor social do trabalho, bem como da relação destes com o Direito do Trabalho e com o Direito Processual do Trabalho. A oportunidade (ou necessidade) para este estudo resultou da constante referência, nas petições, nos debates e nas decisões dos Juízes e Tribunais do Trabalho, aos Direitos Humanos Fundamentais, assim como ao princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana o mais importante na menção aos Direitos Humanos e, também, consagrado pela (e na) Constituição Federal. Trata-se de projeção de tais preocupações da vivência diária, como juiz, sobretudo depois da ampliação da competência da Justiça do Trabalho, decorrente da Emenda Constitucional n. 45, de 2004. Daí resultou a verificação da efetividade e eficácia da inclusão dos Direitos Humanos no Direito positivo. Há estudo da terminologia. Passou-se ao estudo das diversas concepções, segundo as variadas correntes doutrinárias. Entendeu-se indispensável a leitura da sua evolução, na história, na filosofia, na teologia, e da sua inclusão no Direito positivo. Adotou-se como marco, neste último, a Declaração dos Direitos do Homem, de 1789, percorrendo-se a história dos diversos artigos, relacionados especificamente às liberdades fundamentais, diante da conjuntura social então vigente. Também foram trazidos elementos históricos para o estudo da Declaração Universal dos Direitos do Homem, de 20 de dezembro de 1948, da Organização das Nações Unidas. Verificou-se a relação entre o Direito do Trabalho e os Direitos Humanos Fundamentais. Como projeção da personalidade do trabalhador, a essência do Direito do Trabalho é apenas uma das vertentes dos Direitos Humanos senão os próprios Direitos Humanos, já que a identificação é ampla. Foram examinadas as diversas escolas do Direito Natural, desde a Grécia, através de Roma, da Idade Média e do período pré-moderno, na Patrística e na Escolástica, até o Direito Natural nos termos estabelecidos pelo que se convencionou chamar de Iluminismo. Num dos capítulos, especificamente, foram considerados os Direitos Humanos como direitos universais. O conceito foi adotado no sentido de que a dignidade está ligada ao fato de existir e não à mera capacidade biológica, psicológica ou a qualquer outra avaliação social. Está baseada na ética ontológica, de natureza universal. Logo, não é fundada em mera ética dos direitos ou da utilidade, sujeita a valorações externas, de natureza social. A realidade do ser humano é que ele é possuidor de plena qualificação antropológica e ética. O ser humano traz impressos em si a própria dignidade e o próprio valor. Há nexo intrínseco entre a dimensão ontológica e o valor específico de cada ser humano. A objeção de consciência como irradiação do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana completa o estudo. Daí também considerar-se que os Direitos Humanos são inerentes à personalidade do trabalhador. No último capítulo, cuidou-se de especificar a evolução da jurisprudência relativa ao essencial direito de acesso à Justiça. Também foram referidos os direitos da mulher trabalhadora, especialmente a garantia de emprego, ou estabilidade, da gestante, bem como os direitos dos trabalhadores infectado infectados pelo vírus HIV ou portadores de outra doença grave que suscite estigma ou preconceito.The main goal of this thesis is the specific assessment of the Fundamental Human Rights and its respective principles, especially those related to human dignity and the social value of work, as well as the relationship among those with Labor Law and Procedural Labor Law. The opportunity (or need) for this work resulted from the constant presence, in applications, discussions and Court decisions, of references to Fundamental Human Rights and to the principle of human dignity the most important amongst Human Rights and also set forth by (and in) the Federal Constitution. This is a result from the authors daily experience as a judge, especially after the broadening of the powers of the Labor Courts following Constitutional Amendment n. 45/2004, and therefore the concerns with the efficiency and the effectiveness of the inclusion of Human Rights in Positive Law. The author reviews the assessment of the terminology, with the review of different notions, on the basis of the various theoretical tendencies. The author took as indispensable to review the evolution of the concept in History, Philosophy and Theology and its inclusion in Positive Law. In the latter, as a landmark stands the 1789 Declaration of Human Rights, from which the author walks through the history of the different provisions regarding fundamental civil liberties, in view of the social circumstances at the time. Historical elements were also brought to the study of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, from December 20, 1948, issued by the United Nations Organization. The author assesses the relationship between Labor Law and the Fundamental Human Rights. As a projection of the personality of the worker, the essence of Labor Law is just one of the perspectives of the Human Rights if not the Human Rights themselves, as the identification among them is extensive. The author reviews the different schools of Natural Law, since Greece, through Rome, the Middle Ages and pre-modern period, in Patristic and Scholastic, until the Natural Law as defined by what came to be known as the Age of Enlightenment. In one chapter, more specifically, Human Rights were considered as Universal Rights. The concept was adopted in the meaning that dignity is linked to the existence and not to the mere biological or psychological ability, nor to any other social evaluation. It is based in the ontological ethics, of a universal nature. Therefore, it is not based in the mere ethics of rights or utility, subject to external valuations, of a social nature. The human being reality is that he or she is the owner of full anthropological and ethical qualification. The human being has imprinted in him or herself its own dignity and value. There is an intrinsic bond between the ontological dimension and the specific value of every human being. Conscientious objection as the irradiation of the human dignity principle completes the study. Therefore the author also considers that the Human Rights are inherent to the workers personality. In the last chapter, the author specifies the evolution of the case law regarding the essential right of access to Justice. Also reviewed are the rights of working women, such as, especially, work assurance, or stability, of pregnant women; HIV-infected workers or bearers of other serious illness leading to stigmas or prejudice.

O presente trabalho trata do direito ao trabalho no âmbito da Constituição de 1988, analisando-o à luz da Teoria dos Princípios e do pensamento cepalino. Inicia-se a pesquisa analisando o desenvolvimento econômico brasileiro, inserido no contexto mundial e regional. A leitura da doutrina cepalina auxilia na reconstrução das dificuldades enfrentadas pelo Brasil desde a sua colonização e identifica características estruturais que o identificam como país periférico. Apresenta-se a influência da economia particularmente no ramo do Direito do Trabalho, a partir das reformas trabalhistas ocorridas a partir dos anos 1990, com a ascensão do neoliberalismo, cujo processo é identificado como flexibilização. Após, procura-se demonstrar que o Direito do Trabalho pode ser identificado como um ramo que converge para diversos direito fundamentais, o que permite a sua análise a partir da teoria dos princípios, desenvolvida por Robert Alexy e pesquisada no Brasil por Virgílio Afonso da Silva.The present essay intends to analyze Labor Law within the scope of the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution, under the view of the Principles Theory and the understandings from the ECLAC Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean. The research begins with an analysis of Brazils economic development, within the global and regional contexts. The study of the ECLAC doctrine assists the reconstruction of the difficulties faced by Brazil since its colonization and identifies structural characteristics that identifies it as a peripheral country. It is presented the influence of the economy particularly within Labor Law, from the labor reforms that took place since the 1990s, with the ascension of neoliberalism, which process is identified as the flexibility of labor relations. After this, intends to demonstrate that Labor Law can be identified as a branch that converges into numerous fundamental rights, allowing its analysis from the Principles Theory, developed by Robert Alexy and researched in Brazil by Virgílio Afonso da Silva.

This research aims to study the fundamental right to privacy in cyberspace, especially in consumer relations. It analyzes the effectiveness of fundamental rights in relations between individuals and the social function of company liability that is related of off-balance sheet consumer detriment. This analysis is made from punitive damages perspective. The traditional point of view states that fundamental rights are effective only in opposition to the State. However, from the 1950s this view has changed, going to check the effectiveness of these rights in relations between individuals. From another hand, the phenomenon of functionalism of the law has been growth, since the institutes of law are seen today not only by their structure but by their external relationship. By merging of these two current law visions it is possible to notice that the liability has a social function - especially when facing injuries to the right to privacy of the consumer, which is the vulnerable part of the legal relationship. The Internet revolution promoted in society is well known as well as the way people exchange information and data, facilitating communication. However, in the same way it has facilitated the relationships between people, it caused problems not previously encountered such as high privacy exposure of the consumers. The high growth electronic commerce, in larger proportions than the old means of trade, also caused the multiple problems, especially in how consumer data is protected (or exposed) in cyberspace. Due to these issues, the challenges of this research is to reconcile the right to privacy in cyberspace consumer relations as well as to determine, in accordance with current legislation, the corporate responsibility regarding the safety of consumer data. In case of injury to the consumer, this work analyses how the social function of civil liability – as a negative sanction - is able to generate positive behavioral changes, especially focused to prevent further injury.
Esta pesquisa tem por finalidade o estudo do direito fundamental à privacidade no espaço virtual, especialmente nas relações de consumo. Analisa-se a eficácia dos direitos fundamentais nas relações entre particulares e a função social da responsabilidade civil da empresa em relação a danos extrapatrimoniais causados ao consumidor, sob a ótica dos danos punitivos. A visão tradicional é de que os direitos fundamentais têm eficácia apenas em oposição ao Estado. Entretanto, a partir da década de 1950, essa visão modificou-se, passando-se a verificar a eficácia desses direitos nas relações entre particulares. Por outro ladp, o fenômeno da funcionalização do direito vem ocorrendo de forma crescente, posto que os institutos de direito são hoje vistos também por sua função – relação externa – e não apenas por sua estrutura. Conciliando essas duas visões atuais do direito, pode-se verificar que a responsabilidade civil possui uma função social, especialmente quando se está diante de lesões ao direito à privacidade do consumidor, que é a parte vulnerável na relação jurídica. É de conhecimento notório a revolução que a Internet promoveu na sociedade e na forma como as pessoas trocam informações e dados, facilitando a comunicação. Entretanto, da mesma forma que facilitou as relações entre pessoas, trouxe problemas antes não enfrentados, como a extrema exposição da privacidade das dos consumidores. Também o aumento vertiginoso do comércio eletrônico, em proporções maiores do que os antigos meios de comércio, fez com que os problemas se multiplicassem, sobretudo na forma como os dados dos consumidores são protegidos (ou expostos) no espaço virtual. Em razão dessas questões verificadas, o desafio proposto nesta pesquisa é conciliar o direito à privacidade nas relações de consumo ocorridas no espaço virtual e apurar, de acordo com a legislação vigente, a responsabilidade da empresa em relação à segurança dos dados dos consumidores. Havendo lesões ao consumidor, analisa-se a forma como a função social da responsabilidade civil, sendo uma sanção negativa, é capaz de gerar mudanças positivas de comportamento, especialmente para prevenir novas lesões.

Full textAbstract:
A frequência com que trabalhadores migrantes encontram-se submetidos a condições indignas de moradia despertou o interesse na investigação da existência e da extensão de obrigação jurídica do empregador em relação a seu correspondente direito. Como deixa entrever a jurisprudência a respeito, à exceção das ocasiões em que o empregador expressamente assume obrigação de tal natureza, o problema não encontra resposta normativa enunciada de forma específica. À vista dos direitos fundamentais, normas jurídicas nacionais e internacionais convergem no sentido de que o conteúdo do direito à moradia não se preenche com a simples existência de um abrigo ou alojamento; tem deveras maior alcance e abrange a concepção da moradia adequada. A inserção do direito à moradia do trabalhador migrante no âmbito do contrato de emprego pode suscitar colisão entre aquele direito fundamental e o de proteção à propriedade do empregador. A solução apresentada pretende oferecer uma resposta plausível e fundamentada à indagação central da pesquisa, dentre os possíveis encaminhamentos do problema.The frequency with which migrant workers are subjected to degrading housing conditions has aroused the interest in investigating the existence and extent of the employer\'s legal obligation in relation to his/her corresponding right. As jurisprudence about it allows us to glimpse, except for occasions where the employer expressly assumes an obligation of such nature, the problem finds no normative response specifically set out. In view of fundamental rights, national and international legal standards converge in the sense that the content of the right to housing is not filled with the mere existence of a shelter; indeed has greater range and covers the conception of a dignifying housing. The insertion of the housing rights of migrant workers under the scope of the labor agreement may raise collision between that fundamental right and that of protecting the employer\'s property. The solution presented aims to provide a plausible answer and reasoned to the research central question, among the possible referrals of the problem.

Expõe a origem e as transformações desse teste, passando pelo direito policial prussiano, por suas primeiras manifestações na jurisprudência constitucional alemã até chegar ao modelo geral da proporcionalidade, que, integrando a ponderação, foi apresentado ao mundo como a estrutura argumentativa que realiza e concentra o maior grau possível de racionalidade jurídica. Com essa feição, a proporcionalidade foi integrada ao direito brasileiro e transformou o modelo antes aplicado no país, que, tal qual o modelo prussiano, era centrado na noção de defesa. São apresentados os problemas jurídicos e argumentativos dessa transformação da proporcionalidade, que tende a consumir as demais funções dos direitos fundamentais e a anular as características dogmáticas dessas normas. Centrada na análise de precedentes da jurisprudência constitucional, a exposição demonstra como a generalização do conceito e da aplicação da proporcionalidade está relacionada à perda dos contornos dogmáticos dos direitos fundamentais. Aborda a tentativa formulada pela teoria dos princípios de racionalizar a proporcionalidade e assim contornar os paradoxos gerados pela aplicação descontrolada da prova. Explora as falhas e apresenta críticas ao modelo proposto pela teoria dos princípios, que não consegue apresentar soluções para os problemas da ponderação de princípios e valores. Com fundamento na distinção entre teoria e dogmática constitucional e em recentes decisões da jurisprudência constitucional alemã, que já apresentam reflexos na literatura, o trabalho propõe uma alteração nos pressupostos teóricos e práticos da proporcionalidade. Dois fundamentos guiam esse processo de reconstrução. O primeiro é o redirecionamento da prova à sua função de defesa dos direitos fundamentais. Isso faz com que o teste readquira seus contornos dogmáticos, mas também limita seu âmbito de aplicação. O segundo é sua correlação com os conteúdos normativos dos direitos fundamentais restringidos pela atividade estatal. A tese apresenta um modelo da prova que é sensível às peculiaridades jurídicas de cada direito fundamental. Com isso, a proporcionalidade passa a ter orientação normativa e conteúdo material. E os testes que a compõem têm de ser também redirecionados e reconfigurados em função de tais mudanças de pressupostos.This work addresses the constitutional model of proportionality. It exposes the origins and transformations of this test, passing by the Prussian police law, through its earliest disclosures in the German constitutional jurisprudence until finally reach the general model of proportionality, which, incorporating balancing, was presented to the world as the argumentative structure that performs and concentrates the greatest possible degree of legal rationality. With this feature, proportionality was integrated into Brazilian constitutional law and has transformed the model previous applied in this country, which, like the Prussian model, was centered on the concept of defense. It presents the legal and argumentative problems of such a transformation of proportionality, which tends to consume other functions of fundamental rights and to nullify the dogmatic characteristics of these standards. Focusing on the analysis of constitutional jurisprudence, the work demonstrates how this generalization of proportionalitys concept and its implementation is related to loss of dogmatic contours of fundamental rights. Furthermore, the work addresses the attempt of the principles theory to rationalize proportionality and to avoid the paradoxes generated by the uncontrolled application of this test. It explores the failures and presents critics to the model proposed by this theory that cannot provide solutions to disputes involving the weighting of principles and constitutional values. Based on the distinction between theory and constitutional dogmatics and on recent decisions of the German constitutional jurisprudence, which already have reflections in the literature, the work proposes a change in the theoretical and practical assumptions of proportionality test. Two reasons guide this reconstruction process. The first of them lies in the redirection of the test to its defense function of fundamental rights. On this ground the test recovers its dogmatic contours, but this also limits its scope. The second is its correlation with the normative content of fundamental rights, which are restricted by state action. The thesis presents a model of the test that is sensitive to the legal peculiarities of each fundamental right. By this way, proportionality regains on normative orientation and substantive content. Finally the tests that are encompass by proportionality must also be redirected and reconfigured according to such changes in its assumptions

Os direitos fundamentais, pela posição central que ocupam nas democracias, são afetados constantemente por diversas forças. Essas forças serão aqui representadas pelo poder coercitivo do Estado – instituído e circunscrito à lei pela dimensão da validade das normas – e pela mídia – poder não-instituído, livre e dotado de credibilidade e confiança pela população, no plano da facticidade. Tem-se então uma zona conflituosa e tensa entre facticidade e validade. É dentro dela que se pode investigar como certos direitos fundamentais protegidos pela constituição podem ser violados num ambiente chamado por alguns de ¨Idade Mídia¨. Entre o tempo processual reflexivo, ritualizado e protocolar da justiça e o fetiche da velocidade verificado nas mídias atuais, encontra-se a sociedade. Atualmente, o público goza do inédito acesso à informação ao mesmo tempo em que a crítica se dissipa no ar, dificultando o esclarecimento e a formação do senso crítico para se ¨pensar contra os fatos¨. Com base na perspectiva ontológica derivada das teses contratualistas, dos sistemas de vigilância, disciplina e controle social chega-se à identificação das classes perigosas e à construção do real pela mídia. Esse é o ambiente justificador do novo herói pós-moderno, o jornalista opinativo e investigativo, que, em nome do ¨jornalismo verdade¨, corre-se o risco de agir à margem de princípios e garantias fundamentais previstos no texto constitucional. Para se evitar um quadro de violência e violação constantes, num momento em que a cooperação parece ter chegado ao fim, necessário se faz reconfigurar essa tensão. Para isso, este trabalho se utiliza do edifício teórico construído por Habermas, cuja base é uma reconstrução da filosofia prática com vistas a uma ação comunicativa.
Fundamental rights, for the central position they occupy in democracies, are constantly affected by different forces. These forces are represented here by the coercitive power of the state – institutionalised and limited by the validity of the rules - and the media - not institutionalised, free and endowed with credibility and trust by the population, in terms of facticity. Then, you have an area of conflict and tension between facticity and validity. It is inside this area that can investigate how certain fundamental rights protected by the Constitution can be violated in an environment called by some of ¨ Media Age ¨. In between the procedural time reflective, ritualistic and ceremonial of justice and the fetish of speed, seen in the media today, there is society. Currently, public enjoys the unprecedented access to information at the same time the critical dissipates in the air, making the enlightenment and the formation of critical sense very difficult ¨to think against the facts ¨. Based on the ontological perspective derived from the contractualist theories, from systems of surveillance, discipline and social control we come to the identification of the dangerous classes and the construction of reality by the media. This is the environment justifying the new post-modern hero, the opinionated and investigative journalist who, on behalf of ¨true journalism¨, act in disagreement with the basic principles and guarantees laid down in the Constitution. In an attempt to avoid a situation of constant violence and violation, at a time when cooperation seems to have come to an end, reconfiguration this tension is needed. To do this, you can get hold of the theoretical edifice built by Habermas whose base is a reconstruction of the philosophical practice in the gateway of communicative action.

Full textAbstract:
A efetivação dos direitos sociais, inseridos na Constituição Federal de 1988 como direitos fundamentais, em norma de aplicação imediata, é imprescindível para o alcance dos objetivos do Estado brasileiro, declarados no artigo 3º da Carta Constitucional. Ao Estado foi atribuída a tarefa de concretizá-los por meio de políticas públicas. A busca pela efetivação dos direitos sociais, diretamente relacionada ao exercício da cidadania e à atuação dos Poderes Legislativo e Executivo, tem se deslocado para o Poder Judiciário, que tem assumido um importante papel na concretização desses direitos. A própria concepção dos direitos sociais já desafia os aplicadores do direito, porque dependem, para sua concretização, da atuação prestacional do Estado; estão condicionados às restrições orçamentárias e são materializados, por meio de políticas públicas, que se materializam a partir de escolhas políticas. Para o desenvolvimento do controle jurisdicional de políticas públicas de direitos sociais não basta identificar a existência de um direito fundamental social, é necessário que se enfrentem as questões próprias de um direito mutável na sua concretização e execução. É necessário que se conheça a realidade que envolve a adoção de uma determinada política pública e se amplie o campo de cognição além do interesse do autor que reclama a prestação jurisdicional. O presente trabalho traz uma análise sobre o controle jurisdicional de políticas públicas que tratam de direitos sociais, procurando identificar os limites para a atuação jurisdicional e as possibilidades existentes no ordenamento para que esse controle se desenvolva no sentido de contribuir para a efetivação desses direitos de forma coletiva e isonômica, sem que a atuação jurisdicional venha a afrontar o exercício democrático e acabe por invadir a esfera de competência dos demais poderes.Effective implementation of social rights introduced into the 1988 Federal Constitution as fundamental rights under rules of immediate enforcement, is crucial to ensure attainment of the Brazilian State goals, as stated under article 3 of the Federal Constitution. The State was given the task of turning such rights into actions by means of public policies. Search for effective enforcement of social rights, typically related to the exercise of citizenship and to Legislative and Executive realms of power, has been shifting to the Judiciary, which has been assuming an important role in rendering such rights effective. The very notion of social rights brings challenges to those in charge of applying the Law since enforcement of these rights depend of States actions; they are subject to budget constraints and are turned into actions based on political choices. Development of judicial control on social right-based public policies requires not only identification of a fundamental social right but it also requires addressing of matters of law, the perfecting and enforcement of which are constantly changing. It is necessary to get to know the reality involving selection of a given public policy and to expand such knowledge beyond the specific interests of that plaintiff who seeks relief. This paper brings a review judicial control of public policies addressing social rights and the possibilities available in the existing legal framework to assure that such control develops towards contributing to enforcement of social rights in a collective and equalitarian manner, therefore preventing judicial actions from violating exercise of democracy and ultimately reaching the realm of other powers.

This chapter explores the relevance of the developments in the Commission on Human Rights to the individual—the ultimate measure by which to assess the priorities in the coming years. The introduction of respect for human rights among the fundamental principles of the organization and the establishment of an International Bill of Human Rights were major distinguishing features between the UN Charter and the Covenant of the League of Nations. These provisions placed the individual at the table where only governments sat in matters of international relations. This ‘third dimension’ of international relations gave the Commission on Human Rights a role and responsibility like no other UN body, of dealing directly with individuals. The chapter then addresses the relationship of the Commission with the individual and civil society. Communication from individuals and groups emerged on two principal channels, almost concurrently. One was the handling of communications whose substance was deemed to be relevant to the work of the Commission as it undertook its drafting responsibilities. The other was the right of individuals and groups to petition as an integral component of the measures of implementation. This was the start of the treaty-based complaints mechanisms.

Human rights are one of the most popular topics in modern global communities. Therefore, the adoption of the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Equal Opportunities and the establishment of the institution that governs the execution of this law is a significant legal step which permits to actually ensure the compliance of one of the most fundamental rights of the individual, i.e. non-discrimination on the basis of gender. Equality, being one of the fundamental principles of human rights, is governed by international contracts and legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania. The results of the questionnaires permit to claim that the administration of Kaunas district municipality pays too little attention to the provision of the information about the Law on Equal Opportunities of the Republic of Lithuania and amendments where of to the employees of Kaunas district municipality. Thus there are a lot of problems related to the provision of equal opportunities to the employees at work.

The paper discusses the challenges, benefits, and risks of the digitization in public services; argues the internet access right as a fundamental human right and the obligation of a state to provide digital services in the public administration; points out the main tasks of public administration when introducing the principles of good governance; addresses the development of the mentioned principles in the European public space as well at the examples of the Czech Republic. The authors critically describe evaluation methods of digitized public administration and e-Government, including the general model of user acceptance of information technology and benchmarking within the global worldwide information society. The paper highlights practical examples of digitization of the public space in the European Union and in the Czech Republic. The paper concludes with the issues of the state obligation to cover gaps between the legal and economic demand for digitization and provision of digital public services and needs of communities and individuals. The authors use the economic approach to examine legal issues of digitization in public administration. The comparison of the European legislation and Czech national legislation form the primary methodology of the interpretation of the rights of users as well as the obligations of the public administration. Practical examples, figures and tables highlight the argued issues.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID - 19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020 and the reactions of state authorities to it are unparalleled events in modern history. In order to protect public health, states have limited a number of fundamental human rights that individuals have in accordance with national constitutions and international conventions. The focus of this paper is the right of access to abortion in the Member States of the European Union. In Europe, the situation with regard to the recognition of women's right to abortion is quite clear. All member states of the European Union, with the exception of Poland and Malta, recognize the rather liberal right of a woman to have an abortion in a certain period of time after conception. However, Malta and Poland, as members of the European Union, since abortion is seen as a service, must not hinder the travel of women abroad to have an abortion, nor restrict information on the provision of abortion services in other countries. In 2020, a pandemic highlighted all the weaknesses of this regime by preventing women from traveling to more liberal countries to perform abortions, thus calling into question their right to choose and protect their sexual and reproductive rights. This is not only the case in Poland and Malta, but also in countries that recognize the right to abortion but make it conditional on certain non-medical conditions, such as compulsory counselling; and the mandatory time period between applying for and performing an abortion; in situations present in certain countries where the problem of a woman exercising the right to abortion is a large number of doctors who do not provide this service based on their right to conscience. The paper is divided into three parts. The aim of the first part of the paper is to consider all the legal difficulties that women face in accessing abortion during the COVID -19 pandemic, restrictions that affect the protection of their dignity, right to life, privacy and right to equality. In the second part of the paper particular attention will be paid to the illiberal tendencies present in this period in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Poland. In the third part of the paper, emphasis will be put on the situation in Malta where there is a complete ban on abortion even in the case when the life of a pregnant woman is in danger.

Full textAbstract:
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union has been applied directly by the Croatian Constitutional Court since the decision No. U-I-1397/2015 (Act on Elections of the Representatives to the Croatian Parliament) rendered in 2015. Ever since it can be observed that the Charter has been consistently applied both in the proceedings of constitutional review in abstracto and in the proceedings initiated by a constitutional complaint (constitutional review in concreto), however, in a limited number of cases mostly concerning migrations or asylum.Therefore, this paper analyses the application of the Charter in the case law of the Croatian Constitutional Court and the method of interpretation pursued, with special reference to both its shortcomings and benefits. The paper also investigates the reasons for limited application of the Charter, even in those cases which would normally fall under the scope of application of EU law. The analysis indicates two distinct methodological approaches adopted by the Constitutional Court. The first one, where the Charter has been regarded as an interpretative tool only; and the second one, where the Charter has been found to be directly applicable vis-à-vis individual rights inferred from the EU law. The latter approach, first followed in an asylum case No. U-III-424/2019 (X. Y.), had raised new questions on interpretation of the Charter (with respect to the Croatian constitutional framework) in the cases where the Charter's applicability ratione materiae overlaps with the Croatian Constitution and the (European) Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which to the day, in contrast to the Charter, has been consistently followed and therefore legally internalised by the Croatian Constitutional Court. Therefore, the paper also elaborates a new methodological approach adopted by the Croatian Constitutional Court in finding a way out of „limbo“ between the Charter, the ECHR, and the Croatian Constitution.

Full textAbstract:
In the present paper, fundamental frequency optimization of symmetrically angle-ply laminated composite plates is studied using the combination of Elitist-Genetic algorithm (EGA) and finite strip method (FSM). The design variables are the number of layers, the fiber orientation angles, edge conditions and plate length/width ratios. The classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) is used to calculate the natural frequencies of laminated rectangular plates. To improve the speed of the optimization process, the elitist strategy is used in the Genetic algorithm. In the E-GA, the fittest individuals in the generation survive and are automatically reinserted in the next generation, right before the next selection process takes place and the fitness function is computed with a semi-analytical finite strip model developed originally on the basis of full energy method. In addition, from the computational economy point of view, combination of E-GA and FSM provides a much higher convergence and reduced the CPU time. To check the validity, the obtained results are also compared with some other stacking sequences.

Full textAbstract:
Zambians in all walks of life are affected by malnutrition, and working through human rights is one key way to address this injustice. Based on research aiming to understand how a ‘right to nutrition’ is perceived by different actors globally and in Zambia, this brief presents a clear framework for a rights-based approach to nutrition in Zambia. This framework identifies rhetorical, legal and practical functions of human rights, and offers a way to think through clearly how different actors might work on the different aspects of rights. Addressing these three aspects of a right to nutrition all together – instead of by very separate constituencies as happens now – is fundamental to a coherent rights-based approach to nutrition. This brief outlines which actors need to come together – from law and policy, activism and communities, across global, national and local levels – and suggests how to start. It lays out the Zambian policy, legal and practical environment as it stands, and suggests actions to move forward in each of these areas in ways that are consistent with the different aspects of rights. Through these steps, Zambia can become known as a hub of action on a right to nutrition, to join with others in using human rights to address the injustice of malnutrition.

Full textAbstract:
Conflicts and shocks linked to climate change are more frequent and intense, leading to poverty and inequality, exacerbating these phenomena and people’s vulnerability. In this context, humanitarian relief, development programmes and peacebuilding are not serial processes; they are all needed at the same time to tackle the systemic inequalities that trap people in poverty and expose them to risk. The triple nexus, or programming across humanitarian-development-peace pillars, thus means creating synergies and common goals across short-term emergency response programmes and longer-term social change processes in development, as well as enhancing opportunities for peace so that individuals can enjoy the full spectrum of human rights. This briefing paper aims to identify the tensions and dilemmas that Oxfam faces when programming across the nexus and sets out new policy to address these dilemmas, building upon Oxfam’s 2019 discussion paper on the triple nexus.

Full textAbstract:
This report sheds light on challenges faced by Transgender persons in Indian prisons. The report analyses the international and legal frameworks in the country which provide the foundation for policy formulations with regard to confinement of LGBT+ persons, with particular reference to the Transgender community. This report also documents the responses received to right to information requests filed to prison headquarters across the country, which in addition to providing the number of Transgender prisoners in Indian prisons between 1st May 2018 to 30th April 2019, also provides relevant information on compliance within prisons with existing legal frameworks relevant to protecting the rights of Transgender persons in prisons, especially in terms of recognition of a third gender, allocation of wards, search procedures, efforts towards capacity building of prison administrators etc. The finalisation of this report has involved an intense consultative process with individuals and experts, including representatives from the community, community-based organisations as well as researcher and academicians working on this issue. This report aims to enhance the understanding of these issues among stakeholders such as prison administrators, judicial officers, lawyers, legal service providers as well as other non-state actors. It is aimed at better informed policy making, and ensuring that decisions made with respect to LGBTI+ persons in prisons recognize and are sensitive of their rights and special needs.

Full textAbstract:
This report seeks to use COVID-19 and its attendant lockdowns in India as a crucial moment to assess social protection. Policy and scholarship both recognize that social protection plays an important role in alleviating poverty, improving standards of living, mitigating risks and shocks, and reducing episodes of financial adversities (Conway & Norton, 2002). We understandsocial protection as “all public and privateinitiatives that provide income or consumption transfers to the poor, protect the vulnerable against livelihood risks and enhance the social status and rights of the marginalized; with the overall objective of reducing the economic and social vulnerability of poor, vulnerable and marginalized groups” (Devereux & Sabates-Wheeler, 2004). Social protection thus includes measures that are protective against destitution— both amidst crisis as well as in the everyday— as well as promotive in how they enable individuals, households and communities to thrive and flourish rather than just survive (Devereux & Sabates-Wheeler, 2004).

Full textAbstract:
The digitalisation of the economy has spotlighted fundamental flaws in international tax rules, which have been exacerbated since the 1970s with the wider shift to the services economy and the growth of international services. These systemic flaws have been more evident from the perspective of countries that are mainly importers of services that have tried to retain rights to tax profits at the source from which they derive. While they succeeded in retaining a wider scope for source taxation, key provisions have been subject to continuing conflicts and contestation over their formulation and interpretation, leaving a legacy of ambiguity and confusion. Digitalisation has now sparked a dramatic reversal of perspective by more developed countries and an acceptance of principles they have long resisted: that taxation of transnational corporations can be based on apportionment of an appropriate fraction of their global income and can be by countries from where they derive income, regardless of physical presence. This paper outlines the contested process that has shaped the formulation of key provisions on taxation of international services, discusses the recent moves to reshape these rules and evaluates some policy options for capital-importing countries to strengthen their taxing rights in the current context.

Full textAbstract:
There is increasing interest in the question of how different stakeholders develop, implement and lead regional upgrading processes with the concept of place leadership emerging as one response to this. Simultaneously, universities face growing expectations that they will contribute to regional development processes – often through their collaborative relationships with other regional stakeholders. But universities are complex in terms of their internal and institutional structures, which undermines their capacities to enact coherent place leadership roles. We seek to understand how strategic leadership in universities can contribute to innovation and regional development in the context of the fundamental institutional complexity of universities. We address this through a qualitative, explorative case study comparing six European regions where universities have sincerely attempted to deliver place leadership roles. We identify that the elements of agency and alignment are vital in that: firstly, university leadership has to align with regional coalitions on the one hand and internal structures on the other hand, and secondly, this leadership must give individuals agency in their regional engagement activities.

Freedom of Religious Belief and People with Disabilities: A Case Study of People with Disabilities from Religious Minorities in Chennai, India. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), June 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/creid.2021.003.
Full textAbstract:
India has a unique and complex religious history, with faith and spirituality playing an important role in everyday life. Hinduism is the majority religion, and there are many minority religions. India also has a complicated class system and entrenched gender structures. Disability is another important identity. Many of these factors determine people’s experiences of social inclusion or exclusion. This paper explores how these intersecting identities influence the experience of inequality and marginalisation, with a particular focus on people with disabilities from minority religious backgrounds. A participatory qualitative methodology was employed in Chennai, to gather case studies that describe in-depth experiences of participants. Our findings show that many factors that make up a person’s identity intersect in India and impact how someone is included or excluded by society, with religious minority affiliation, caste, disability status, and gender all having the potential to add layers of marginalisation. These various identity factors, and how individuals and society react to them, impact on how people experience their social existence. Identity factors that form the basis for discrimination can be either visible or invisible, and discrimination may be explicit or implicit. Despite various legal and human rights frameworks at the national and international level that aim to prevent marginalisation, discrimination based on these factors is still prevalent in India. While some tokenistic interventions and schemes are in place to overcome marginalisation, such initiatives often only focus on one factor of identity, rather than considering intersecting factors. People with disabilities continue to experience exclusion in all aspects of their lives. Discrimination can exist both between, as well as within, religious communities, and is particularly prevalent in formal environments. Caste-based exclusion continues to be a major problem in India. The current socioeconomic environment and political climate can be seen to perpetuate marginalisation based on these factors. However, when people are included in society, regardless of belonging to a religious minority, having a disability, or being a certain caste, the impact on their life can be very positive.

Full textAbstract:
Qualified teachers are a fundamental input for any education system. Yet, many countries struggle to attract highly skilled applicants to the teaching profession. This paper presents the results of a large-scale intervention to attract high performing high-school students into the teaching profession in Chile. The intervention was a three-arm email campaign which made salient three types of motivations typically associated with the teaching profession: intrinsic/altruistic, extrinsic, and prestige-related. The objective was to identify which type of message better appealed to high performing students to nudge them to choose a teaching major. The “intrinsic” and “prestige” arms reduced applications to teaching majors among high performers, while the “extrinsic” arm increased applications among low performers. A plausible interpretation could be that the “intrinsic” and “prestige” messages made more salient an issue that could otherwise be overlooked by high performing students (typically from more advantaged households), negatively impacting their program choice: that while the social value of the teaching profession has improved, it still lags behind other professions that are valued more by their families and social circles. In turn, the “extrinsic” arm made salient the recent improvements in the economic conditions of the teaching profession in Chile, thus appealing to low performing students who in general come from disadvantaged families and for whom monetary incentives are potentially more relevant. These results emphasize the importance of having a clear picture of the inherent motivations that could influence individuals career choice. Making salient certain types of motivations to the wrong target group could lead to undesired results.

Full textAbstract:
At their most basic level taxes carry, in the words of Schumpeter ([1918] 1991), “the thunder of history” (p. 101). They say something about the ever-changing structures of social, economic, and political life. Taxes offer a blueprint, in both symbolic and concrete terms, for uncovering the most fundamental arrangements in society – stratification included. The historical retellings captured within these data highlight the politics of taxation in Alabama from 1856 to 1901, including conflicts over whom money is expended upon as well as struggles over who carries their fair share of the tax burden. The selected timeline overlaps with the formation of five of six constitutions adopted in the State of Alabama, including 1861, 1865, 1868, 1875, and 1901. Having these years as the focal point makes for an especially meaningful case study, given how much these constitutional formations made the state a site for much political debate. These data contain 5,121 pages of periodicals from newspapers throughout the state, including: Alabama Sentinel, Alabama State Intelligencer, Alabama State Journal, Athens Herald, Daily Alabama Journal, Daily Confederation, Elyton Herald, Mobile Daily Tribune, Mobile Tribune, Mobile Weekly Tribune, Morning Herald, Nationalist, New Era, Observer, Tuscaloosa Observer, Tuskegee News, Universalist Herald, and Wilcox News and Pacificator. The contemporary relevance of these historical debates manifests in Alabama’s current constitution which was adopted in 1901. This constitution departs from well-established conventions of treating the document as a legal framework that specifies a general role of governance but is firm enough to protect the civil rights and liberties of the population. Instead, it stands more as a legislative document, or procedural straightjacket, that preempts through statutory material what regulatory action is possible by the state. These barriers included a refusal to establish a state board of education and enact a tax structure for local education in addition to debt and tax limitations that constrained government capacity more broadly. Prohibitive features like these are among the reasons that, by 2020, the 1901 Constitution has been amended nearly 1,000 times since its adoption. However, similar procedural barriers have been duplicated across the U.S. since (e.g., California’s Proposition 13 of 1978). Reference: Schumpeter, Joseph.

Legislative Best Practices for Securing Women’s Rights to Community Lands. Rights and Resources Initiative, March 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.53892/tkzh7332.
Full textAbstract:
This brief highlights key attributes of national constitutions, laws, and regulations that play a fundamental role in protecting indigenous and rural women’s rights to community forests and other community lands. These legislative best practices were derived from a 2017 analysis of over 400 national laws and regulations, Power and Potential, which evaluates the extent to which women’s rights to community forests are recognized by national law in 30 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
