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.

This thesis focuses on the establishment and operation of the latest regional Human Rights Court: The African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. For the development of human rights protection mechanisms within regional organizations the governments of the member states are of special relevance. They pull the strings to either foster and develop a system or to disrupt it. Therefore, following a brief historical introduction, the first chapter gives an overview of the regional African organization, the former Organization of African Unity (OAU) and today's African Union (AU) which was instrumen

Abstract:

This is a study of the European Court of Human Rights' doctrinal response to complaints for protection under the European Convention on Human Rights submitted by or on behalf of companies. Companies indisputably enjoy ECHR protection in principle yet the protection of persons closely tied with for-profit and corporate business enterprise is sometimes doctrinally problematic. The thesis has two main objectives. First, it analyses the Court's reasoning in three groups of cases in which corporate human rights litigation has presented particular problems of treaty interpretation: 1) The extent to

Abstract:

It is a well-known fact that international law has not been at its strongest when it comes to its implementation and enforcement, since there is not coercive power in the international system comparable to that which enforces domestic law. However, the judgments of international courts and tribunals must attain full respect by the Member States, thereby sending a credible message that there are consequences for non-compliance.

Abstract:

The evolving relationship between international human rights law and criminal law is marked by a passage from a role of moderation to one of legitimization. While international human rights law was previously critical of criminal law as an instrument of state repression, the last few decades witnessed a shift towards a victim-centred conception of criminal law as a means to protect and enforce certain human rights. This contrasts with a liberal conception of human rights as a check on the power of the state through the use of its criminal law authority. This development manifests itself throug

The contemporaneity has been famously defined as “the age of rights” (Bobbio 1995), and the logic of rights has become “the principal language that we use in public settings to discuss weighty questions of both right and wrong” (Glendon 1991, 63). If human rights give voice to minorities and marginalized groups in society, and they can do so with powerful legal and symbolical resources, the tendency to frame almost every social conflict in terms of a clash of rights also favours absolute formulations and the activation of judiciary.Under such premises, this dissertation provides a qualitative

This thesis is a critique of the European Court of Human Rights’ case law on the right to a fair trial in criminal cases. It is the result of a focussed and extensive survey of Article 6 case law, and, unlike other work on Article6, does not analyse each component right of Article 6 one-by-one. Instead, the thesis considers ‘cross-cutting’ themes common to all, or many, of the Article 6 component rights: how the Court interprets Article 6, how the Court sees its role in Article 6 cases, how the Court approaches Article 6’s internal structure, the Court’s implied rights jurisprudence, and how t

Can the procedure at the International Criminal Court be regarded as fair? And why is the level of fairness important for the ICC’s legitimacy?

Questions of procedural fairness typically involve the principle of equality of arms and the right to adversarial proceedings. My argument is different. In a comprehensive analysis, I c

Extraterritoriality at the ECtHR appears to create a paradox. On the one hand, it is limited in space, time, purpose and remedies, through its state membership, individual application process, the terms of the ECHR, and restricted enforcement and influence on general international policy. On the other, it appears to be an indispensable refuge for individuals who are victim to the most flagrant denials of justice happening on a global scale. The ECtHR finds itself an avenue for redress in historical events of global significance such as the NATO bombing and UN administration of Kosovo, the US-U

Abstract:

This thesis sets out an argument against the present interpretation of the concept of autonomy under the European Court of Human Rights (the ECtHR) Article 8 jurisprudence and proposes a new reading of the concept that is rooted in an acknowledgment and appreciation of human interdependence. Following the prevailing political, legal and socio-cultural ideas and ideals about autonomy, the ECtHR has chosen to furnish its recent Article 8 case law according to the values characteristic of the notion of individual autonomy – independence, selfsufficiency, and the ability to conduct one’s life in a

Abstract:

The involvement of children to fight in armed conflicts remains one of the main challenges towards the full realization of children's rights on the African continent. Despite a substantive legal framework affording protection and prohibiting the enlisting and recruitment of child soldiers, this practice remains prevalent in many parts of Africa particularly in the Great Lakes Region. As a result of their childhood and the traumatic events they are exposed to during armed conflicts, children inexorably suffer from many forms of harm including physical, mental and psychological harm. Addressing

"The judiciary in Zimbabwe used to be viewed as a progressive bench recognised for its activism, particularly its purposive approach in interpreting the Bill of Rights to ensure protection of human rights. It was one of the best Commonwealth judiciaries, which was inspired by international standards in interpreting human rights and at the same time contributed to the origination of normative standards through its decisions. Although Zimbabwe is a dualist system, the judiciary accepted and drew inspiration from international human rights treaties. The Supreme Court (SC) under Chief Justice (CJ)

Thesis (LL.M.)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In recognition of the socio-economic imbalances inherited from the past and the abject poverty experienced by many, the people of South Africa adopted a Constitution fully committed to protecting socio-economic rights and advancing social justice. Apartheid constituted a violation of every internationally recognised human right. Seen in this light the emphasis on socio-economic rights in the new South African Constitution represents a commitment to guarantee to everyone in society a certain minimum standard of living bel

Abstract:

In recent years, the potential to speed up legal processes via Machine Learning techniques has increased. Consequently, this study serves to investigate different NLP and ML methods. It does this by building a model that predicts whether or not an article of ECtHR has been violated, based on the texts of the published case law. The most effective model, which consists of a Neural Network (for embedding the corpus) and a SVM (as classifier), reaches a total mean accuracy of 72%.
