Abstract:

Both the British and the Dutch Government have expressed their intention ‘to ensure that the human rights implications of legislation are subject to proper consideration before the legislation is enacted’. The question asked in this thesis is how then consideration is given to the human rights compatibility of parliamentary legislation? The thesis concentrates on the institutional legislative processes of both countries, with their formal procedures and formal institutions. In Part I, it describes and analyses these processes at governmental and parliamentary level, and examines how and by who

Abstract:

Nowadays we live in a world marked by great geographical and scientific discoveries and, due to the increasingly accelerated rhythms of our time, happiness has no longer been considered just an abstract concept but it has become a right. The right to the pursuit of happiness has, behind it, a complex of individual rights and is affirmed on the premise of their recognition within the different constitutions. The meaning that the concept of happiness has received in different historical and cultural contexts is an essential part of its history. The first statement of happiness as a right is cont

Abstract:

This thesis challenges a number of claims that are made in the context of the euthanasia debate: that there is only one version of the good death; that rights discourse is the most appropriate vehicle by which to secure legal recognition of a right to die; that the Netherlands is either a model for reform or the epitome of a slippery slope in its regulation of euthanasia; and that a key argument in the euthanasia debate, the sanctity of life doctrine, is a fixed, immutable concept. In this thesis I use process sociology, developed by Norbert Elias, in order to capture changing sensibilities to

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the problems facing adolescent girls in the pursuit of their right to education and this especially in South Africa. It presents the right to education as a human right belonging to everyone; not a privilege reserved for a category of person. The right to education is a fundamental human right and an empowerment right because it contributes to the achievement of other rights. The dissertation describes the provisions of relevant international and regional human rights instruments and assesses whether South African laws, policies and practices on the ground adhe

Abstract:

The United Nation’s mandate to engineer international peacecraft is correlated with the promotion of universal human rights. Universal human rights are held to apply consistently to everyone everywhere without conceivable exception. There is some debate as to whether universal human rights possibly exist. This debate centers around two difficulties: 1) the task of identifying a single trait or capability that all human beings necessarily share, and 2) the task of relating human rights to this trait or capability. Conventional epistemic justifications defending the existence of universal human

abstract: In recent years the state of Arizona passed a series of laws affecting undocumented immigrants, including Proposition 300 in 2006 outlawing in-state tuition for undocumented youth. However, there has also been a reaction from these youth who refused to be relegated to the shadows and are demanding rights. Using mixed ethnographic methods, this dissertation research analyzes how undocumented Mexican youth in Arizona have experienced liminality after the passage of Proposition 300 as well as their ability to utilize their increased marginalization in order to build community amongst th

This work is built on three pillars and seeks to contribute to the understanding of the right to development (RtD) especially from the perspective of human rights non-governmental organisations.

Western archival institutions have both silenced and misrepresented Indigenous peoples in Canada for more than a century. These actions have in turn assisted in the colonization and subjectification of a myriad of Indigenous communities within the colonial construct of Canada. This institutional complicity in the colonization process has recently come under fire. Questions have arisen about how these institutions can be decolonized and how they can be used in partnership with Indigenous peoples to strengthen the Indigenous voices they once silenced.

South Africa's transition to constitutional democracy marked the end of a system of government that perpetuated injustice on the basis of race.

As such, it laid the foundation for widespread poverty and inequalities in access to basic services.
