Abstract:

La recherche sur la légitimité et l’effectivité du CDH vient du constat de la méconnaissance générale de la portée de sa mission, laquelle produit des effets néfastes sur celui-ci. Cette étude montre que malgré les limites imposées à cet organe par le PIDCP, son œuvre déployée a une portée considérable dans la protection internationale des droits de l’homme. Pour parvenir à cette fin, le CDH à adopter des techniques d’interprétation qui lui ont valu l’attention des organes tiers renforçant, par là même, sa légitimité. Poursuivant cette même finalité, afin de pallier l’absence de force obligato

Abstract:

The thesis explores the nature of transnational legalisation by identifying one emerging norm - corporate accountability for human rights violations - and tracing its promotion through three separate pathways of legalisation. At the domestic level, the thesis discusses the jurisprudence of domestic courts that have contemplated assuming extraterritorial jurisdiction over alleged human rights violations of transnational corporations (TNCs) in other states. At the international level, the thesis considers developments in the United Nations (UN), which in 2011 launched a new normative framework t

Abstract:

Transnational corporations are playing an important role in the global economy of today. Many of these corporations have great economic resources and have the possibility of contributing to the development of societies in developing states. At the same time, in their search for profit, the activities of TNCs have proven fatal to some of the individuals employed by them, or otherwise in contact with their activities. Within the international legal framework, corporations are not traditionally treated as subjects and if a TNC allocates its production to a state with lax human rights protection,

The thesis explores the extent to which the UN post-conflict administrations are accountable towards the populations of the territories they administer. The post-conflict administrations temporarily assume legislative and administrative powers to support the peace processes, to help to resolve the sovereignty issues or to establish administrative structures that might be non-existent in these territories. The thesis argues that, while the exercise of these extensive powers entails the accountability of the UN, in practice this accountability is not effectively engaged. As opposed to other form

Globalisation and the transfer of powers from state constitutional systems to international organisations (IOs) have led to several deficiencies, especially with regard to checks and balances in global governance.

This has been exemplified by calls for the reform of the United Nations (UN) and the extensive reforms in regional IOs, such as the European Union (EU), with emphasis on institutional balance and the tempering of political power with institutional contro

Abstract:

La présente thèse est consacrée à l’étude de la portée du droit à un environnement sain en droit international. Ce droit de l’Homme est appréhendé comme étant le résultat d’interactions entre le droit international des droits de l’Homme et le droit international de l’environnement ainsi qu’entre différents ensembles normatifs de protection des droits de l’Homme. Ce droit assiste à un essor remarquable au sein des États et des systèmes de protection des droits de l’Homme. En retraçant les différentes étapes de son développement progressif, cette thèse s’attache à en identifier les contours, tan

Abstract:

The present thesis seeks to problematize the UN discourse within transitional justice. Many scholars have pointed out that the discourse has been normalised and that is why it is in need for deconstruction. The study aims to critically analyse how justice and reconciliation are understood in the field. For the purpose of the study Derrida’s concepts on justice and forgiveness have been chosen as theoretical frameworks. The method of study is a deconstructive analysis, based on Derrida’s notion of deconstruction. The method implies analysis of language of the research material, i.e. four UN rep

Abstract:

This thesis discusses UN human rights treaty ratification in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Ratification of human rights treaties by most GCC countries, often with extensive reservations concerning the compatibility of certain provisions with Islam, has generated international debate about the applicability of international human rights norms in an Islamic context. With poor compliance records, GCC cases are seen to demonstrate that global human rights norms fail to diffuse and take hold in specific local contexts. This thesis disputes this claim by arguing that normative change can

Abstract:

Les arrangements régionaux jouent un rôle essentiel dans la protection et la promotion des droits de l’homme. Compte tenu du fait qu’il y a beaucoup de similitudes sociales, politiques, économiques et historiques entre les gens qui vivent dans une région spécifique, la création de mécanismes régionaux de protection des droits de l’homme doit, en principe, être plus facile que celle des mécanismes universels. De même, des mécanismes régionaux sont plus efficaces que ceux universels. Les systèmes de droits de l’homme établis en Europe et en Amérique fournissent des exemples réussis de systèmes r

У тезах доповіді вказано, що прийняття Загальної декларації прав людини, Міжнародних пактів та протоколів до них виступило перевагою ООН над Лігою націй і частково дозволило зберігати мир на планеті та забезпечувати дотримання прав людини у більшості держав світу. Принаймні людство поки що утримується від повноцінної «третьої світової війни». Але сьогодні ООН стає такою самою малоефективною організацією, як свого часу Ліга націй. На нашу думку, ефективно запобігти глобальним світовим конфліктам і війнам, ефективно протистояти сучасним державам-агресорам можливо буде через прийняття додаткових

Dans une première partie j’analyse l’influence de l’idéologie des droits de l’homme sur l’organisation de la justice irakienne. Les questions traitées sont diverses : le rôle joué par l’occident dans la promotion des droits de l’homme, l’internationalisation de la protection des droits de l’homme, la constitution irakienne, etc. Je montre comment la justice administrative irakienne essaie, sous l’influence du droit français, essentiellement, de progresser malgré les

Abstract:

El multiculturalismo es revisado en la tesis de doctorado para analizar el desafío que representa para los derechos humanos. La tesis de doctorado postula a la filosofía hermenéutica para la comprensión del derecho en general, haciendo un análisis ontológico del mismo. Se propone así una salida iusfilosófica a la problemática del potencial etnocentrismo inmerso en los derechos humanos, y mediante una reflexión crítica se aborda su interpretación desde una perspectiva multicultural. En ese sentido se revisan textos internacionales y sentencias de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos par

This thesis firstly attempts to provide a theoretical basis for how the complex cases related to corporate misbehaviour in relation to human rights respect should be handled. Secondly, it attempts to critically examine how well the Swedish National Contact Point (SNCP) functionsin relation to its goals through the usage of elite interviews. Thirdly and finally it also explores the interest of concerned stakeholders in finding other non-judicial conflictmanagement mechanisms for cases within the CSR – human rights nexus at other mediation institutions such as the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (
