Full textSince the Neolithic period and the rise of agriculture along Mesopotamia’s “Fertile Crescent,” greater societies have formed thus requiring laws and governance to ensure their continued preservation. The Babylonian Code of Hammurabi is one such example of how agricultural technologies directly created new social and institutional structures in codifying slavery into law, or how mercantile transactions are to be conducted. Similarly, GMOs are the result of modern agricultural technologies that are altering laws and society as a result of their implementation. This transformation informs the central inquiries of my research question: Why are GMOs necessary, and what influences do they have on the project of human rights? As our age is defined by the products of bioluminescent – or glow-in-the-dark – cats and goats that can excrete spider silk proteins from their mammary glands, these questions become essential. I conclude that the technology does not, at least conceptually, conflict with or undermine human rights. Instrumental reason has firm limitations in biological applications as well as conflict with its inherent anarchical nature. We are now compelled to question the utility of genetic engineering and if it merely places humanity into another precarious “arms race” with weeds and pests, in addition to the pressure of maintaining current dependencies of petrochemicals, fertilizers, and continued observations of ecological homeostasis.

A luta pelos direitos humanos, assim como sua consolida??o, acontece desde o princ?pio da humanidade e sofrem modifica??es que indicam avan?o ou, dependendo da situa??o, um retrocesso mediante o esquema governamental vigente. Infelizmente no nosso pa?s, o aumento da viol?ncia, o crescente preconceito entre grupos estigmatizados, como homossexuais, negros, pobres, a intoler?ncia e o desrespeito ? diversidade de cultos religiosos al?m do total descr?dito ? sa?de da popula??o, faz-se ter a necessidade de programar atitudes pedag?gicas para o melhor entendimento dos direitos inerentes ?s pessoas. Diante desse cen?rio, a Secretaria de Educa??o Continuada, Alfabetiza??o, Diversidade e Inclus?o (SECADI) fomenta a cria??o de cursos voltados para a educa??o inclusiva, dos direitos humanos e da sustentabilidade socioambiental utilizando como ve?culos as Institui??es de Ensino Superior. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o curso de Especializa??o em Educa??o em Direitos Humanos (EDH) da Educa??o a Dist?ncia (EaD) da Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM) utilizando o ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA) Moodle. Este objetivo est? relacionado com a busca do aumento da qualidade docurso para que este possa ser utilizado como modelo em outras institui??es de ensino. As ferramentas de an?lise empregadas foram question?rios estruturados, semiestruturados e entrevistas com as pessoas envolvidas na implanta??o do curso. O resultado do question?rio aplicado aos especialistas em inform?tica demonstrou que o menu de entrada, a sequ?ncia l?gica, apresenta??o visual, programa e a navegabilidade est?o dentro do esperado consistindo em uma op??o de m?dia satisfat?ria, o ?nico problema detectado que foi na velocidade de acesso independe da institui??o proponente. O resultado do question?rio aplicado aos especialistas em conte?do demonstrou que os v?deos apresentados necessitam ser mais coesos e atuais, a acessibilidade e distribui??o do material dentro do ambiente virtual de aprendizado necessita de uma revis?o, as imagens e os exerc?cios devem ser repensados e modificados e o conte?do program?tico precisa de intensifica??o na sua imers?o. O resultado obtido com a entrevista ao colegiado demonstra que a UFVJM precisa melhorar o acolhimento aos programas de especializa??o e repensar a burocracia necess?ria para implanta??o e ades?o ao curso pelos estudantes. Este trabalho serve como base para desenvolvimento de projetos semelhantes em outras institui??es, al?m de melhoria na qualidade do material apresentado aos cursistas

The fight for human rights as for its reinstatement has been developing since the beginning of human kind and has been suffering changes that may indicate advances or retreats depending on the circumstances in view of the current governmental structure. Unfortunately, in our country, the increase of violence, the growing prejudice between minority groups, such as homosexuals, afro-descendants and the poor, the intolerance and violations to religious and politics diversity and the total discredit to public health creates the need to establish academic actions to promote better understanding of the rights inherent to people. In view of such scenario, the ?Secretaria de Educa??oContinuada, Alfabetiza??o, Diversidade e Inclus?o (SECADI)? encourages the development of new courses focused on an inclusive education of human rights and social and environmental sustainability using as vehicles Higher Education Institutions.Therefore, the scope of this study will be to analyze the course designated as Degree in Education in Human Rights (EDH) from the Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM) in Distance Learning (EAD)/UFVJM using the virtual platform of learning (AVA) Moodle. This objective is connected to the search of excellence in teaching of the mentioned course so that it can be used as a role model in other Higher Education Institutions. The assessment tools employed will include structured and semi structured questionnaires and interviews with the persons involved in the implementation of the course.The results of the questionnaire applied to computer experts showed that the input menu, the logical sequence, visual presentation, program and navigability are within the expected consisting of a satisfactory media option, the only problem detected which was the access speed is independent the proposing institution. The results of the questionnaire administered to content experts showed that the videos presented need to be more cohesive and current, accessibility and distribution of the material within the virtual learning environment needs an overhaul, images and exercises should be rethought and modified and program content need to intensify the immersion. The results obtained from the interview to the collegiate demonstrates that UFVJM need to improve the reception to specialization programs and rethink the red tape required for implementation and adherence to the course by the students. This work is the basis for development of similar projects in other institutions, and improvement in the quality of the material presented to course participants.

Memory combined with the capacity for rationalization and the development of recording techniques played a fundamental role in the development of the human species and resulted in the capacity to create various technological devices that conditioned profound changes in people's way of life. The object of the investigation is the study of information technology impacts and its reflexes on individual and collective memory, as well as to analyze if the digital paradigms result in the need for a re-reading of memory and forgetfulness in the information society. In order to fulfill this desideratum, a bibliographical review of the authors that deal with memory and its relations with silence, forgetfulness and violence in contemporary society is carried out, and these themes are confronted with the reality imposed by the communication through the digital platform, to the end of the research analyze the recent scientific publications regarding memory and forgetfulness in society.

O objeto da investigação é o estudo dos impactos das tecnologias da informação e seus reflexos na memória individual e coletiva, assim como analisar se os paradigmas digitais resultam na necessidade de uma releitura da memória e do esquecimento na sociedade da informação. Para cumprir tal desiderato efetua-se a revisão bibliográfica dos autores que abordam a memória e suas relações com o silêncio, esquecimento e a violência na sociedade contemporânea e confrontam-se esses temas com a realidade imposta pela comunicação por meio da plataforma digital, para ao final da investigação analisar as recentes publicações científicas no que concerne a memória e o esquecimento na sociedade em rede.
Yang, Peng. "EU Trade : The Issues at Stake with China - With the exploration of International Political Econom." Thesis, Halmstad University, School of Social and Health Sciences (HOS), 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-2494.
Full textChina has been the second largest trading partner of EU in goods and the forth largest
in services since it joined the WTO in 2001. For its part, the European Union has been
China’s largest trading partner since 2004. Despite this, there are a range of issues at
stake between the EU and China who are not only involved into economica l disputes,
but are also at odds on politica l matters . In this paper the authors conduct the study
based on trade hindrances instead of trade achievements with the approaches of IPE
based on the assumption: the tenser of trade-ties, the deeper the politica l dimension
involved and the more delica te the relationship between Economy and Politics
projected to be. Considering the limitation of time and space, the paper focuses
prima rily on the trade issues regarded from three different angles: the internal issues
related to trade (e.g. trade deficit, IPR infringement); the external issues related to
trade (e.g. huma n rights); the ultimate issues rela ted to trade (e.g. technology). Instead
of putting forth feasible resolution to these issues, the ma in feature of this paper lies in
the analysis of trade issues in combination with the approaches of Internationa l
politica l economy. It’s interesting and far-reaching to research EU (trade) from the
perspective of IPE because as Michael Smith argued “The EU’s place in the IPE is
challenging not only in the empirica l sense, but also in the conceptual sense, for
simple reason that (on the one hand) it is not a state and that (on the other hand) it
performs a number of vital state functions in the IPE” (Michael Smith 2006, p.527).

Full textFöljande rapport presenterar ett examensarbete gällade en omdesign av en ankel-fot-ortos med additiv tillverkning som produktionsmetod, genomförd av en student våren 2020 som del av masterprogrammet Industrial Design vid Jönköpings universitets tekniska högskola. Ortoser för fotleden är de mest föreskrivna ortoserna för underkroppen i hela världen och bärs på ett visuellt påträngande sätt vilket gör att patienterna kan känna sig annorlunda eller utanför för sin funktionsnedsättning. Den sociala stigmatiseringen gör det känslomässigt svårt för många användare att bära en AFO ofta nog för korrekt rehabilitering. Trots dess betydelse och breda användning har designen inte förändrats på över 50 år. Traditionella tillverkningsmetoder är svåra att arbeta med och begränsar alternativen för anpassning. Genom att använda digitala metoder för additiv tillverkning som 3D-skanning, 3D-utskrift och datorsimuleringar är det möjligt att erbjuda ett personligt utseende för AFO genom att införa en stor mängd anpassade mönster i form av utskärningar på AFO-ytan. Denna typ av perforering löser samtidigt problemet med svett och dåligt luftflöde. Friheten för grafiskt uttryck genom dessa mönster låter patienten delta i själva designprocessen för att fotledsortosen ska kännas som deras egen. Detta nya synsätt på utveckling på tillverknings- och designprocessen gör det möjligt för användaren att ta kontroll över sin funktionsnedsättning i största möjliga grad och återställer känslan av självständighet.

Full textAs one of Europe’s largest-producing actors in the energy sector with a wide energy mix, Vattenfall has a great responsibility to contribute to sustainable development of society. To do so, economical, environmental and social aspects need to be balanced in a responsible way. This is done through acting social responsible or in other terms, addressing corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the company’s business activities. Electricity and heat constitute one of the prerequisites for a modern society. However, it has always been a highly debated industry due to its inevitable impact on the environment and society. This makes it crucial for Vattenfall and its operations to act as responsible as possible and listen to the stakeholders and take their expectations into account in the business decisions process. Vattenfall has a long history of being criticised for its activities by NGOs and media. However, Vattenfall´s main task is to deliver electricity and heat to the society, which means that Vattenfall must continue to deliver secure energy supply to its markets, but with as little negative impact on the environment and society as possible.
Vattenfall is through its operations, its value chain, its use of technology and the markets on which it operates, exposed to risks associated with the areas human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. These “CSR risks” can harm the reputation, brand and image if they are not managed in a proactive and effective way. In order to manage CSR risks and emerging CSR issues, the company needs to catch and respond quickly to new trends and expectations raised by opinion formers, which often are expressed through the media and the Internet. The aim of this study is to provide Vattenfall with a tool to do so. Through identifying the main CSR risks related to its operations, awareness about Vattenfall’s vulnerability areas are created. The result shows that the largest CSR risks for Vattenfall are technology related, i.e., connected to the fuels used in Vattenfall’s power plants and their value chain. This knowledge can be used when addressing CSR in the organization.
Still, a direct solution to manage CSR risks and emerging CSR issue is needed. The second purpose of this study is to propose a process for a CSR issues management at Vattenfall. The aim of such an issues management is to provide the company with a tool to identify, analyse and manage emerging issues. A CSR issues management will provide Vattenfall with a tool to respond to emerging issues before they become public knowledge. It should scan and collect external and internal information, identify relevant information for Vattenfall, monitor ongoing and emerging CSR issues/concerns/debates and report to relevant functions in the Vattenfall organization.

Full textWith the evolution of information technology, modern techniques of surveillance and social control are being used by both the State and by private entities. It is the objective of this dissertation, the analysis of the real scope of protection and effective guarantee of the right to privacy as defined in Article 5, section X, of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, from a neoconstitutionalism perspective. The purpose is to demonstrate that the use of information technology, in the control of social habits, is an unconstitutional activity for violating the right to privacy and thereby the dignity of the human person. The method used was hypothetical-deductive, with the help of comparative and historical ones. The research was entirely theoretical. In the end, it was concluded that the privacy belongs to the group of the human rights and also to the list of fundamental rights, and the constitutional standard that defines the right to privacy does not allow direct or indirect constitutional restrictions. Restrictions are only possible through poise when in collision with another fundamental principle. Any violation of privacy through information technology is unconstitutional.
Com a evolução da tecnologia da informação, modernas técnicas de vigilância e controle social estão sendo usadas, tanto por parte do Estado quanto por entidades privadas. Ante a isso, tem-se como objetivo, nesta dissertação, a análise do real âmbito de proteção e de garantia efetiva do direito à privacidade, conforme definido no artigo 5º, inciso X, da Constituição brasileira de 1988, sob um enfoque neoconstitucionalista. A finalidade é comprovar se o uso da tecnologia da informação no controle dos hábitos sociais é uma atividade inconstitucional, por ser aquela considerada um instrumento que viola o direito à privacidade e, consequentemente, a dignidade da pessoa humana. O método usado na pesquisa foi o hipotético-dedutivo, com auxílio dos métodos comparativos e históricos, uma vez que ela foi integralmente teórica. Ao final, os resultados mostraram que a privacidade pertence tanto ao rol de direitos humanos quanto ao dos direitos fundamentais e que a norma constitucional que define o direito à privacidade em defesa da dignidade da pessoa humana não permite restrições direta nem indiretamente constitucionais. Restrições somente são possíveis pelo sopeso, considerando se há, no caso concreto, colisão com outro princípio fundamental. Os resultados mostraram ainda que toda violação à privacidade por intermédio da tecnologia da informação é inconstitucional.

Full textThis study aims to analyze the process of implementation of Maria da Penha Law in Paraná from the perception of persons directly involved in combating violence against women in that state. To achieve this goal, the implementation in Curitiba was taken as the main reference, due to its status as capital, being the headquarter of the political powers and the place where are some feminist social movements. We have chosen qualitative approach of interpretative nature as research methodology, because it is a method that allows the analysis of the responses and as a data collection technique. We also have chosen the individual semi-structured interview as interview mode, because it gives greater freedom to the interviewee to discuss the matter, but it is delimited to the study objectives. The research included nine persons, including members of the Judiciary and Public Ministry, public servants and activists. The importance of the study stems from the relevance of the numbers of violence against women in Brazil, and more specifically by the significant occurrence of this kind of acts in the state of Paraná, which currently occupies the 3rd place in the ranking for the most violent states. The paper also discusses gender relations by understanding that violence against women is the result of an asymmetrical power relationship between men and women; human rights because violence is a blatant disregard of women's human rights; on public policies and technologies to confront this form of violence. Among the policies, the Maria da Penha Law is highlighted as one of the most striking examples of public policy for combating violence against women. The research found out which was the participation of Paraná in the discussion and implementation of Maria da Penha Law, identifying relevant facts and people and also what was the repercussion obtained by this law. As for the implementation in Paraná, it was possible to determine progresses, difficulties and challenges of the process. The greatest advances obtained so far are the facilities of: Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women in Curitiba, Maria da Penha Patrol and Women's Special City Office of Curitiba. As for the difficulties, they are related, among others things, to the physical structure, training of agents, political will, and even cultural issues, which are directly linked to gender issues. Thus it was found that the law is implemented in the state, but there are still several challenges to be achieved, which consist, mainly, of the structure increment for combating violence; awareness and change of mentality of public officials; training of service agents and a greater social participation in combating violence. We concluded that the need for change in gender relations, which is an educational and social evolutionary process and therefore time consuming, is also a challenge.

Full textNors 1990 m. atgavusi nepriklausomybę Lietuva pademonstravo ryžtą kuo greičiau šalyje įtvirtinti visuotinai pripažintus žmogaus teisių principus, visgi įvertinant vėlesniais nepriklausomybės metais valstybės formuojamą politiką, nėra visiškai aišku, kieno interesai – valstybės ar individo – yra aktualesni ir kaip (ar) jie tarpusavyje dera Lietuvos valstybės politikoje. Disertacijos tikslas – ištirti, ar valstybės suverenitetas ir žmogaus teisės yra (ne)suderinami vienas su kitu Lietuvos nacionalinės žmogaus teisių politikos formavimo kontekste. Siekiant užsibrėžto tikslo analizuojamas Lietuvos žmogaus teisių politikos formavimosi kontekstas, jį įtakojantys veiksniai, nacionalinė žmogaus teisių teisinė bazė, keturiolika Vyriausybės programų per žmogaus teisių prizmę. Atliekant tyrimą naudojama teisės aktų ir dokumentų analizė, pusiau struktūruotas kokybinis interviu, taip pat palyginamoji analizė. Empiriniai tyrimo duomenys rodo, kad Lietuvos politika žmogaus teisių atžvilgiu yra fragmentiška, stokojanti integralumo, tolygaus dėmesio visoms žmogaus teisėms ir joje stipriai išreikšta socialinė, ekonominė dimensija. Tokios politikos kontekste žmogaus teisių ir valstybės suvereniteto tarpusavio sąryšis vertintinas nevienareikšmiškai. Viena vertus, išorinis suverenitetas yra suderinamas su žmogaus teisėmis; jie papildo vienas kitą. Tuo tarpu vidaus politikoje valstybės interesų viršenybė individo atžvilgiu sudaro prielaidas teigti, kad žmogaus teisės nėra suderinamos su vidiniu... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

Full textThis thesis is about Turkish accession to the European Union and criteria to be fulfilled in order to become a member state. At Helsinki summit there were defined four main areas, that are the main obstacles of Turkish membership in the structures of EU – military influence in domestic politics, economy disproportions, the issues of minorities living in Turkey and problems with obeying human rights and fundamental freedoms. In addition the attitude among European countries and Turkish political elites has changed dramatically since 1999. There is a great discussion, whose main purpose is, to show if Turkey should or shouldn’t become a part of united Europe. With the help of created conceptual framework, which is empirically based on qualitative methods and with theoretical approach in form of analysis considering human rights, I have developed a set of three hypotheses, that are based on primary and secondary sources like EU, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International reports considering changes of Turkish attitude to the question of human rights. In the process of testing validity or invalidity of those hypotheses, I have tried to conclude, why the implication of reforms considering human is the main obstacle of Turkish membership in the EU.

Full textDerechos Humanos y democracia son, hoy, elementos inseparables de la realidad política. sin embargo, entre ambas nociones existen diferencias de origen y de función las que, eventualmente pueden plantear tensiones y dificultades, sobre todo cuando se pretende atribuir al “principio de la mayoría” potestades ilimitadas, que incluyen la determinación y configuración, incluso peyorativa, de los derechos fundamentales. Este riesgo proviene de adoptar una concepción meramente “formal” o “procedimental” de la democracia, por lo que se hace necesario afirmar una noción “sustancial” de esta, en la cual se reconozca a los derechos fundamentales. Por un lado, como un límite al poder estatal, cualquiera que sea la fuente de legitimación de este, y, por otro lado, como ingredientes indispensables para el ejercicio libre de los derechos políticos en los quese sustenta la democracia.

Full textThe forging of personal identity begins in the human being's past, in their own biological origins. Starting from this axiom, biological truth has become a key principie of Western family law. While it is a traditional paradigm of filiation by nature, its current significance extends far beyond this to the cases of filiation by adoption and by assisted human reproduction, thanks in large part to the influence of the CRC. This instrument has proved essential, first and foremost, in reaffirming the universal character of fundamental rights. Secondly, it demonstrates a common approach in comparative law in building current family law upon three pillars: the central importance of the person, the increasing value attached to autonomy of the will in family relationships, and public order as a means — functional to this — of ensuring fundamental rights. Finally, a change in the very notion of childhood and adolescence establishes children and adolescents as rights-holders. Their fundamental rights are doubly protected, since they are granted to them not only as persons, but also in virtue of their particular stage of life. Among the rights of children and adolescents, the enshrinement in the CRC of the right to know one's biological origins (articles 7 and 8) stands out. These provisions, along with the ban on discrimination on the grounds of birth or any other status (article 2.1), entail the extension of the principie of biological truth to all individuals. This includes those naturally conceived and then adopted and the offspring of assisted reproductive technology. The will to be parents as the foundation of filiation and the discordance between the legal and biological bonds, characteristic of both cases, prompt a joint study of this right, treated separately from filiation and dividing the knowledge of genetic and/or gestational origins from its scope and effects. Most contemporary legal systems contemplate this right in adoption, either by establishing it together with the duty of disclosure or by embracing an open adoption system. Allowing it in assisted human reproduction has met with greater resistance. Nevertheless, an initial trend towards the abolition of anonymity did emerge in the eighties (in Sweden, Austria or Switzerland). Despite this, however, it is only in the last few years that this tendency away from secrecy and in favour of the investigation of biological origins has become established (as shown by Norway, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Finland and Germany, among others). This research undertakes an in¬depth study of the right to know one's biological origins; defming it as a human, fundamental and autonomous right, part of the right to personal identity; analysing its interdisciplinary and legal foundations; enquiring into its recognition at an international, national and Catalan level; and delving into the conflicts of interests that may occur among the parties of the filial triangle.
La identitat personal comença a forjar-se en el passat de l'ésser humà, en els seus mateixos orígens biològics. Des d'aquest axioma, la veritat biològica ha esdevingut un principi clau del dret de família occidental. Tradicional paradigma de la filiació per naturalesa, la seva transcendència s'estén en l'actualitat als supòsits de filiació adoptiva i per reproducció humana assistida, en gran mesura, impulsat per la C.D.N. Aquest instrument ha estat essencial, abans de res, per reafirmar el caràcter universal dels drets fonamentals. En segon lloc, evidencia una comunió entre els països de l'entorn en edificar el dret de família actual sobre tres pilars: el protagonisme de la persona, el major valor de l'autonomia de la voluntat en les relacions familiars i l'ordre públic com a mitjà —funcional a aquella— per garantir els drets fonamentals. Finalment, un canvi en la noció mateixa d'infància i adolescència enalteix el caràcter de subjectes de drets dels nens, nenes i adolescents. Els seus drets fonamentals reben una doble protecció, ja que els són reconeguts no només en quant a persones sinó també en virtut de l'etapa vital per la que travessen. Entre els drets dels infants i adolescents destaca la consagració que la C.D.N. fa del dret a conèixer els orígens biològics (articles 7 i 8). Aquests preceptes, juntament amb la prohibició de realitzar distincions per raó del naixement o qualsevol altra condició (article 2.1), exigeixen l'expansió del principi de la veritat biològica a favor de totes les persones, incloses les concebudes de forma natural que gaudeixen d'una filiació adoptiva i les nascudes per reproducció humana assistida. La voluntat parental com font de la filiació i la discordança entre el vincle jurídic i el biològic, característiques d'aquests dos casos, motiven un estudi conjunt d'aquest dret, fora de l'àmbit de la filiació i escindint el coneixement dels orígens genètics i/o gestacionals del seu abast o efectes. La majoria dels ordenaments jurídics contemporanis contemplen aquest dret en l'adopció; sigui establint-lo juntament amb el deure d'informació, sigui mitjançant el sistema d'adopció oberta. A més reticències si ha enfrontat la seva admissió en els supòsits de reproducció humana assistida. Tanmateix, a la dècada dels vuitanta començava a obrir-se pas una primera corrent de països prohibint l'anomenat anonimat del donant (Suècia, Àustria o Suïssa). No obstant això, és en aquests últims anys en que s'aferma un progressiu canvi de rumb cap a l'abolició del secret i l'admissió de la investigació dels orígens biològics (Noruega, Països Baixos, Regne Unit, Finlàndia, Alemanya, entre d'altres). Aquest treball empren un ampli estudi del dret a conèixer els orígens biològics; caracteritzant-lo com un dret humà, fonamental i autònom, part del dret a la identitat personal; analitzant els fonaments interdisciplinaris i jurídics que el sostenen; indagant en el reconeixement que rep a nivell internacional, així com a Espanya i Catalunya; i endinsant-se en els conflictes d'interessos que el mateix pot generar dins del triangle filial.

Full textThe purpose with this dissertation is to study the Intersex phenomenon in South Africa, meaning the interplay between the dual sex and gender norms in society. Hence, the treatment by some medical institutions and the view of some non-medical institutions upon this ‘treatment’, have been studied in relation to the Intersex infant’s human rights and citizenship rights. The thesis has moreover also investigated how young Intersex children are included/excluded and mentioned/not mentioned within South Africa’s legal system and within UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Furthermore, because Intersex children are viewed as ‘different’ on two accounts – their status as infants and born with an atypical congenital physical sexual differentiation, the thesis’ theoretical framework looks at the phenomenon from three perspectives – ‘the politics of difference’, human rights, and citizenship rights directed towards infants. The theoretical frameworks have been used to ask questions in relation to the empirical data, i.e. look at how the Intersex infants are ‘treated’ in relation to their status as ‘different’; and also in relation to the concept of being recognized, respected and allowed to partake in deciding whether to impose surgery or not. Moreover, what ‘treatment’ serves the best interest of the Intersex child? This has been done through semi structured interviews.
In conclusion, some of the dissertation’s most important features are that since the South African society, like many other societies, strongly live by the belief that there are only two sexes and genders, this implies that Intersex infants do not fit in and become walking pathologies who must be ‘fixed’ to become ‘normal’. Moreover, since most genital corrective surgeries are imposed without being medically or surgically necessary, and are generally imposed before the age of consent (18), the children concerned, are generally not asked for their opinion regarding the surgery. Lastly because early corrective surgery can have devastating life lasting consequences, this ultimately means that the child’s human rights and citizenship rights are of a concern. These conclusions do however not ignore the consequences one has to endure for the price of being ‘different’.

Full textTurkey Human Rights Movement Conferences&rsquo
in different political contexts during the period 1998-2010 is evaluated with reference to three areas of literature on the idea of human rights and with a social constructionist perspective which begins with the proposition that ideas and practices concerning human rights are created by people in particular historical, social, and economic circumstances. The different conceptualizations of legitimation of the idea of human rights, the shifting representations of the idea of human rights as civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights and the varying constructions of domestic human rights language amongst local and universal claims in respect of human rights within different political contexts is explored. In this framework, the research design of the study is envisioned to evaluate these issues in the context of &lsquo
Turkey Human Rights Movement Conference&rsquo
texts. The final reports of eleven conferences held in the period 1998-2010 are analyzed by the method of &lsquo

Full texts thought became prevalent. The thesis questions this easy alliance between Nietzsche and radical attacks to human rights thought. In the first chapter, I first provided a brief historical overview of the idea of human rights. Then, I had a closer look towards the principles of universality, equality, autonomy and is-ought distinction with special reference to Kantian formulations of these concepts and in the second chapter, I elaborate Nietzsche&rsquo
s perception of these same principles and our understanding of conventional morality in general, to reach an articulated answer to the question: Would Nietzsche be categorically against human rights? I conclude that his philosophical attitude to these four principles differ from each other. In this context the thesis regards Nietzschean informal structures over the Kantian formal ones as complementary for a full grasp of the idea of human rights by offering a connection of the transitionality between Kant and Nietzsche.
