Abstract:
Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. To exercise those rights, in 1966 General Assembly of the UN has adopted two Covenant, namely International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights. The States Parties of the two Covenants undertake to guarantee that the rights regulated in the covenants language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. So that we can conclude that the two Covenant recognize, the existence of gender equality principle and non discrimination principle.

Abstract:
Democracy and human rights have long been strongly connected in international covenants. In documents such as 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1966 International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, democracy is justified both intrinsically in terms of popular sovereignty and instrumentally as the best way to “foster the full realization of all human rights.” Yet, even though they are human and thus universal rights, political rights are often surprisingly specific. In the Covenant, for example, “the right to take part in the conduct of public affairs” is equated with “the right to vote and to be elected.” More often then not, their realization is left to states and their constitutions, as for example in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights. Political rights have a “peculiar” status among enumerated human rights, and this difficulty has to do with deep assumptions about the nature and scope of democracy and political community that remain unexamined by the drafters of these important declarations.

Abstract:
Since Israel's independence, the Supreme Court has been very active in establishing and securing an impressive edifice of human rights. Lacking a written constitution, the Court has based its constitutional jurisprudence on the democratic character of the state. It has developed an “Israeli made” bill of rights, relying on comparative studies, yet with little reference to the standards set in international human rights instruments.Two legal events of the last three years may change the judicial attitude towards international human rights. The first major event was the Israeli government's ratification of important human rights conventions during 1991, first and foremost among them the 1966 Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which has been named the “International Bill of Rights” (hereinafter: the 1966 Covenant).

It is generally acknowledged by the international community that the taking of hostages is one of the most vile and reprehensible of acts. This crime violates fundamental individual rights—the right to life, to liberty and to security—that are protected by binding legal instruments such as the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on the worldwide level, and the 1969 American Convention on Human Rights and the 1950 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms on the regional level. The United Nations General Assembly has stated that the taking of hostages is an act which places innocent human lives in danger and violates human dignity.

Abstract:
The ICCPR 1966 is an important international human rights treaty that provides a number of protections for civil and political rights. The Charter was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1966 and came into force in 1976. July 2020 So far, the agreement has been ratified by 171 countries. The newly liberated states of Africa and the Caribbean, together with the ICCPR, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, are considered international human rights bills. The ICCPR obliges countries that ratify the agreement to ensure the protection of fundamental human rights, such as the right to life and human dignity, equality before the law, freedom of expression, the right to assembly and other rights also. ICCPR guarantees the fair trial for the accused in three stages i.e. Rights before trial, during trial and after trial. This article appraises the analytical study of the rights granted to the accused during the trial.

Abstract:
This study is the first systematic global analysis of the impact of law on human rights, analyzing the impact of twenty-three constitution provisions and an international covenant on three measures of human rights behavior, over the period of 1976-1996. Three sets of constitutional provisions are analyzed, including 1) ten provisions for individual freedoms and due process rights, 2) nine provisions for elements of judicial independence and 3) four provisions that outline procedures for states of emergency. Additionally, the impact of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on actual human rights behavior is analyzed. Each of these areas of law are evaluated individually, in multiple models in which different elements vary. For example, some models control for democracy with different measures, others divide the data into the Cold War and post-Cold War eras, and some test constitutional indices. Finally, all provisions are simultaneously analyzed in integrated models. Provisions for fair and public trials are consistently shown to decrease the probability of abuse. An index of four freedoms (speech, religion, association, and assembly) decreases the probability of abuse somewhat consistently. Three of the provisions for judicial independence are most consistent in reducing the probability of abuse: the provisions for exclusive judicial authority, for the finality of judges' decisions, and banning exceptional courts. Two of four states of emergency provisions decrease abuse as international lawyers have argued: the provisions for legislative declaration of the emergency and the ban against dissolving the legislature during an emergency. However, two of the provisions are shown to hurt human rights practices: the duration and the derogation provisions. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights does not demonstrate a statistically significant impact. While the performance of the constitutional provisions is less than legal scholars would hope, their combined impact over time are shown to be quite large, relative to the impacts of other factors shown to affect human rights abuse.

Abstract:
In the evolution of international human rights law, the ICCPR and other international instruments impose on State parties human rights obligations regarding the death penalty and prohibition of forced labour. China ratified a series of human rights instruments and is expected to ratify the ICCPR. There remain problems for China what international human rights obligations might mean and how far its practice departs from them. This thesis focuses on harsh punishments relating to such obligations that China might not reserve in order to explore legal consequences of accepting them and assess the relevant Chinese law, its capability of the ratification of the ICCPR. As a member of the United Nations, China should undertake not to embark on a gross violation of any human rights obligations on capital punishment pursuant to customary international law. It also should observe treaty obligations that it accepted regarding capital punishment and forced labour as a party to the CAT, CRC, CERD, GC3, GC4, PAI, PA2, ICESCR, ILO 100, ILO 122 and ILO 182. These treaty standards would not be abused by individual or systematic abuses with precise implementation measures. In China, many aspects of its legislation and practice appear to conform to the requirements of the death penalty and forced labour provided in the ICCPR, to which China has not yet been a party. However, some substantive and procedural guarantees concerned appear to be breached as part of human rights obligations that China should undertake, even if not accepting the ICCPR. In the implementation of these harsh punishments, freedoms from torture and other inhuman treatment are also likely to be violated. These appear to deviate from China’s present official policies concerned and breach its relevant human rights obligations. The relationship between China's present practice and international standards tends to indicate the long course of its human rights progress. It is desirable for Chinese judges to take into account the relevant human rights standards in any sentencing decision at the discretion of them.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>法律學研究所<br>102<br>Regulating hate speech has become an international consensus, but it is facing with some problems in this information era. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (hereinafter “the ICCPR”) article 20 (2) asks countries to enact laws to prohibit hate speech. While countries are trying to set up the regulations to comply with the ICCPR, there are some difficulties regarding hate speech on the Internet. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze how to regulate Internet hate speech under the ICCPR. For one thing, the standard of hate speech may vary from country to country. What standard should the countries use to define hate speech, when such speech is spread via the Internet? Should ICCPR adopt a universal standard or a differentiated standard? Moreover, even regarding it as hate speech, how can countries regulate or punish the speakers abroad? All these questions are unavoidable, when countries want to enact such laws. To achieve the above, this thesis is divided into four parts. First, the thesis analyzes the trend in international law of regulating hate speech. This thesis finds that a lot of international covenants regard spreading hate speech as a crime, and it is punishable. However, the ICCPR provides countries with multiple measures to regulate hate speech. Second, the thesis tries to find the ICCPR’s interpretation in applying article 20(2). By reviewing scholar’s discussions, analyzing the Human Rights Committee of ICCPR’s (hereinafter “the Committee”) explanation and observing the hate speech law of countries, the thesis finds the following tendency. The ICCPR respects nationalized cultures and decisions to determine what kind of speech is hate speech and whether it shall be punished or not. Therefore, it is possible that the same speech may be considered as hate speech, while in another country does not. Thirdly, the thesis analyzes whether the Committee should apply the same standard when regulating internet hate speech. The thesis analyzes the feature of Internet hate speech, and finds that there are two challenges to regulate it. The first thing is that since the Internet has the characteristic of “de-contexualization”, it is hard to judge whether an internet speech is a hate speech. Secondly, it is also hard to punish speakers who spread hate speech abroad. This thesis analyzes the ICCPR’s interpretation about freedom of the Internet, and finds that the Committee still adopts the same standard to deal with internet hate speech as with real world hate speech. Finally, the thesis analyzes how the ICCPR’s standard is practiced on the Internet. The thesis refers to Lawrence Lessig’s method to analyze the issues, and holds that technology can help countries to efficiently regulate Internet hate speech. Using this method, the thesis concludes that the key to fulfilling the ICCPR’s standard is to block hate speech from other countries, not to punish those who spread it. Moreover, by deciding who has the authority to control the Internet code to block information, the thesis establishes four modes to regulate Internet hate speech, which are the governmental mode, the semi-governmental mode, the ISPs-mode, and the user-mode. The thesis holds that the government-mode is the most powerful method to control the Internet. Nevertheless, by using this method free speech will likely be infringed, hence it must not to be adopted to regulate Internet hate speech. Apart from this, countries may adopt the other three modes to regulate Internet hate speech. In conclusion, this thesis holds that the main point of regulating Internet transnational hate speech is the relationship between technology and messages. Via technology, different countries can have different standards toward regulation of internet hate speech which can be tailored to their own cultures. Hence, the regulation object will shift from the punishment of the speakers to the message itself. Eventually, it will conform to the ICCPR’s “differentiated standard”. However, since technology is a powerful tool, countries should show self-restraint in order not to infringe free speech.

Abstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>亞洲研究所碩士班<br>98<br>In the international human rights, minority means ethnic, religious or linguistic groups in the state. However, not just the number, minority should contain an element of the oppressed or discriminated. Accordingly, in the present society to advocate the principle of equality and universality of human rights, rights of minority is still one issue of human rights. Currently,in the international human rights treaties, Article 27 of the ICCPR is the ony one term that directly guarantees the rights of minority. According to general comments of Human Rights Committee,although the rights protected under article 27 are individual rights, the depend in turn on the ability of the minority group to maintain its culture, language or religion.At the same time, one or other aspect of the rights of individuals protected under that article - for example, to enjoy a particular culture - may consist in a way of life which is closely associated with territory and use of its resources.Accordingly, positive measures by States may also be necessary to protect the identity of a minority and the rights of its members to enjoy and develop the culture and language and to practice their religion, in community with the other members of the group. The Constitution is difficult to directly guarantee the rights of minority. Japan joins ICCPR to guarantee the rights of minority. For example, as the effcet of Article 27, the Japanese government formally recognised the Ainu as ethnic minority groups and an indigenous group. In the Constitution of the Republic of China,it is impossible for Taiwan to formally ratify the ICCPR. Even if Taiwan unilaterally obey the ICCPR,but the difficult for the international human hights into domestic law that abate effective of the ICCPR.Therefore it is necessary to enact a new constitution that can confirm the statehood of Taiwan,so Taiwan can formally joins the ICCPR.In order to guarantee the rights of minority, it is the most effective way.

Abstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>日本研究所碩士在職專班<br>93<br>The fast-paced information technology development that heralded the advent of the information era also pushed the evolution of the right to privacy from a simple passive right of an individual to be alone to a proactive right to control the privacy of one’s information. In this age of advance technology developments, the protection of the right to privacy has become a trend. In fact, nations and international organizations are now defining laws providing for the protection of all computer processed personal information. Likewise, businesses are taking special precautions and measures to protect the information privacy of their customers. The exchange of personal information on the Internet caused the hedges of national boundaries to disappear; thus making the protection of human rights an extremely important international issue. We are now entering the era of third generation of human rights. The globalization of human rights protection also meant the employment of international systems for the protection of the basic human rights of every individual in every nation as well as for the maintenance of the global peace, on which the world may establish a common global consensus. Therefore, the protection of privacy rights is not just the protection of a basic human right that every government has taken necessary measures to achieve, but also a matter a human right that treaties of nations have sought to safeguard. Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (hereafter referred as the Covenant), a treaty recognized by International Law and granted legal binding power, also provided for the protection of privacy rights. As provided in Article 17 of the Covenant “1. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his honour and reputation. 2. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.” In other words, signatories of the Covenant are obliged establish the necessary laws and provisions ensuring the protection of the rights defined in Article 17. Hence, although the Constitution of Japan has not explicitly defined the protection of the right to privacy, the Constitution included privacy rights among the basic human rights it protects; the legal precedents supporting such fact were founded on the protection provided in Article 13 of the Constitution of Japan. This clearly manifests the synergism between the Covenant and the Constitution of Japan in the matter of privacy rights protection. In the Monitor system of the Covenant, Japan merely employed the reporting system. During the examination of the report, the Covenant monitoring body — the ICCPR Human Rights Committee found that public authority had interfered with the right to privacy, and since right to privacy is a right protected by the Covenant under the international human right standards, the Covenant requested the State party to establish laws for its protection, as well as to desist from arbitrarily or illegally interfering with such right. The research framework of this paper is divided into six chapters; namely: Chapter I - Introduction, Chapter II - Overview of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Chapter III - The Impacts of the Covenant on Japan, Chapter IV - Interpretation of Article 17 and Related Cases, Chapter V — Right to Privacy Issues of Japan: the System of Separate Surname for Married Couples, the Protection of the Confidentiality of Communication, and the Protection of Personal Information. It conducted a comprehensive survey of the role of the Covenant on the legislation of the Japan privacy rights laws. Chapter VI — Conclusion conducted an in-depth evaluation of the protection of the right to privacy.

Abstract According to Louis Henkin, ‘Human rights is the idea of our time’. In concrete terms the ‘idea’ of human rights is given expression through a myriad of regional and global international instruments. The most general of those instruments, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), the Optional Protocol thereto (1966), and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (1966), collectively form the ‘International Bill of Rights’. The two Covenants and the Optional Protocol entered into force in 1976.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses international human rights and refugee law. In 1948, the General Assembly adopted the famed Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Many of its provisions have influenced the adoption of major multilateral treaties, or have come to reflect customary international law, at times through influencing the drafting of State constitutions. The UDHR has also been referred to by international courts to give weight, or to interpret, obligations contained in other treaties. Two overarching covenants were also adopted separately in 1966: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). In parallel with the emergence of human rights protection at the international level, several regional frameworks exist. The chapter then looks at the European, American, and African human rights conventions and accompanying institutions.

Abstract:
Abstract In 1966 the United Nations General Assembly was unable to agree to include civil and political rights in the same document as economic, social, and cultural rights. The resulting human rights instruments, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESR), were each formulated, in the main, in terms of individual rights. At least some civil and political rights now command respect as rights in customary international law, whereas it is doubtful that economic, social, and cultural rights are more than political aspirations. For this reason, among others, attempts have been made, within UNESCO and elsewhere, not only to emphasize fundamental economic, social, and cultural rights but also to reformulate certain individual rights as collective rights or rights of ‘peoples’. International law presently affords limited protection to ‘peoples’: the right to self-determination, the right to physical existence under the Genocide Convention of 1948, the right to ‘permanent’ sovereignty over natural resources, and the rights of indigenous peoples and of ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities under Article 27 of the ICCPR have been cited as examples.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which is in charge of the supervision of a major human rights treaty within the UN machinery, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). This was adopted in 1966 and came into force in 1976. The Human Rights Committee enjoys a peculiar position in the international human rights architecture. It has been labelled ‘as one of the most active and innovative’ bodies among the UN institutions involved in human rights monitoring, considering that it is in charge of one of the two covenants which, together with the Universal Declaration, are sometimes presented as the ‘International Bill of Rights’ and covers the broadest subject-jurisdiction matter. At the same time, the Committee and its work remain overlooked and quite obscure even for most human rights lawyers and certainly for a lay audience. The chapter assesses the Committee’s mechanisms and work.

Abstract:
Political rights are often grouped together with civil rights, they are usually subject to the same regime of legal protection, and some of the basic rights, such as freedom of expression, can be classified in both categories. Regardless of the above, the concept of political rights has an autonomous meaning, as demonstrated in this paper, in terms of definition, applicable international standards and their implementation. Unlike individual civil rights, political rights, such as right of people to self-determination, freedom of assembly, or electoral rights, can only be effectively exercised in union with others, through a political party, non-governmental organization, or other interest group. They are related to the democratic vision of human rights, which primarily includes the right to freely shape the political system. The absence of a developed doctrine of political rights, which are not the subject of a separate focus, indicates a lack of consensus among the Covenant signatories, which can be attributed to their predominantly political character.
