Abstract:

The question that I consider, in my thesis, is who is entitled to share in whatever distinct rights aboriginal peoples may be afforded by Canadian law. The conclusion that I reach is that only groups which are capable of exercising collective rights and which are connected, by some degree of descent, to aboriginal groups that existed prior to the coming of the Europeans are entitled to aboriginal rights today. This conclusion is derived from a consideration of the sources of aboriginal rights. Aboriginal rights, in the sense in which I use it, would include any rights which are unique to abori

Abstract:

Children and young people at residential schools are among the most vulnerable and marginalized of societal groups. While increasingly research has focused upon the everyday worlds of these children and young people, there has been an absence of research in Scotland that has examined the complex matrix of children’s human rights, complaints processes and advocacy, exploring children and young people’s understandings about those key themes and the institutional relations affecting their daily lives. Situated within a theoretical and contextual framework informed by institutional ethnography and

Abstract:

This thesis examines the rights of people with mental disorder under Irish law against the background of the European Convention on Human Rights. It proposes that Irish law does not meet the minimum standards laid down by the Convention and that significant law reform is required to achieve this aim. The main issues concern the admission, detention and treatment of adults and children in psychiatric care and the safeguards provided in the Irish legal system. These matters are considered against the Convention requirements in the context of the current and ongoing process of law reform in Irela

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to examine the nature or form of disability rights, and whether the African regional human rights system adequately protects them. In other words, the study tries to understand whether the current appalling status of people living with disabilities can be blamed on normative paucity of the African human rights system. The author will therefore comb the African human rights instruments to determine this, and based on the findings, will assess the propriety or otherwise of adopting a disability specific instrument for the continent and recommend accordingly.<br>Thesis

The Australian Disability Rights Movement (ADRM) developed slowly during the century, with a major spurt of growth in the 1980’s, resulting in the formation of two national advocacy organisations controlled by people with disabilities. This thesis uses the insider perspective of the researcher, feminist research methodology, review of relevant theory, and the views of self-selected board members to explore the history and common themes of the ADRM, and the relationship of these organisations to social change.

Moreover, the effects of environmental disasters on people depend heavily on the state’s capacity to mitigate such effects.

The forces of globalization and liberalization, coupled with the very rapid development of low-cost operators, have tempered the growth and profitability of the aviation industry whilst, at the same time, greatly increasing the consumer (passenger and air freight user) advantages i

Abstract:

The argument of the present thesis is that the withdrawal of religion as a source of legitimacy raises the issue of the foundations of the secular state and how the secular state has responded to this "legitimacy gap". The hypothesis developed here is that the "secular" should not be seen as separating culture (including religion) and politics, but rather in terms of how these two dimensions can be linked. Max Weber's theory of legitimacy and social contract theories are based on a move from traditional forms of authority towards modern forms of legitimacy, but do not provide a complete answer

This thesis considers social work practice with separated young people who have migrated to Germany and the UK, with a specific focus on the role of human rights perspectives within practitioners’ approaches. The conceptual starting points are the contradictions between human rights frameworks which are commonly conceptualised as universal and inclusive, and the exclusive responses of Western states towards 'irregular' and asylum migration. These contradictions are enhanced and complicated by binary conceptualisations of childhood and adulthood, affording children different rights from adults.

This thesis explores the creation of the Second Amendment and how it has been interpreted over time. The purpose of this thesis is to understand present-day debates over gun control and offer an interpretation of the right that best suits the modern era. By analyzing the history of gun ownership in the United States, it is clear that the intention of the Second Amendment was to extend the right to the individual and should not be limited to collective use. As the Bill of Rights was extended to protect the people from state governments, the history of states’ rights in the regulation of firearm

Abstract:

The Rroma people have a complex and highly contested narrative which is partly due to the fact that the Rroma are a homeless society, a society with no borders, no economy, no territory but with an origin. The perception of ethnicity itself is based on subjective interpretation and not based on some kind of scientific sociological truth. Those that apply their notions of ethnicity on a group may do so based on particular aspects of physical appearance or differential culture customs. This research draws heavily on the theories of two authors, Charles Taylor and Will Kymlicka in order to ans

Abstract:

People with learning disabilities are subject to a wide range of potential interferences with their choices and freedoms when they are 'placed' in institutional care services. The cumulative and pervasive impact of these regimes can be monumentally detrimental to self and wellbeing. Some have suggested that a new law, the Mental Capacity Act 2005, may limit the interferences that people with disabilities are subject to in care services. In this thesis, I subject the Mental Capacity Act to a critique drawn from new republican political theory. I argue that far from limiting the interferences th
