Il riconoscimento del crimine di stupro coniugale ha promosso una reinterpretazione della dicotomia pubblico-privato su cui si basa la società, focalizzando l'attenzione sulla violazione prodotta dal crimine in sé, indipendentemente dal contesto in cui si verifica, sia esso privato o pubblico. Questa tesi propone un'analisi del fenomeno dello stupro coniugale in relazione allo sviluppo del diritto internazionale e dei diritti umani, coinvolgendo diversi ambiti: quello storico-culturale, quello concettuale e quello giuridico internazionale.

Abstract:

South African law allows minors under the age of 18 to get married, under certain conditions. The minimum age at which a minor may enter into marriage under both civil and customary law is 12-17 for girls, and 14-17 for boys. The focus of this paper is not the practice of child marriage, nor measures aimed at combating child marriage, and recommends that South Africa set the age of marriage at 18 for both sexes without exceptions. However, until South Africa changes its laws, boys and girls will continue being treated differently under existing marriage legislation. This mini-dissertatio

Abstract:

While many politicians gain national or international acclaim, domestic political activists are rarely remembered for their dedication and, similarly, their sufferings. More specifically, the acts of female political activists, and the harsh punishments they endure following government pushback, are not appreciated or acknowledged by popular histories. Across Great Britain, the United States, and Argentina, three women played crucial roles in advancing reform against unjust government policies.

This study attempts to explain the emergence and possible resolution of the issue of human rights violation in modern Turkey.

Being a contemporary variation on Adam Smith's understanding of self-love and sympathy, this theory develops a ‘world economy’ based view of ‘cosmopolitan responsibility’ for the institutionalisation of human rights.
