Abstract:

The right to technology is a forgotten human right. Dating back to 1948, the right was established by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”) in response to the massive destruction wrought by technologically advanced weapons in the Second World War. This human right embodies one of the most profound lessons the framers of the UDHR learned from this war: Technology must benefit humanity rather than harm it. It has been more than seventy years since the adoption of the UDHR, and technology has advanced at a rapid pace and become more important than ever in our daily lives. Yet in this age of technology, the right to technology remains obscure, dormant, and ineffective. No other human right has received such scant attention, and the right to technology has indeed become an “orphan” in the international human rights regime. This article traces the origins of society’s disregard for the right and attributes it to the confluence of three main contributing factors: (1) the right’s inherent obscurity, (2) the ineffective human rights enforcement system, and (3) the international community’s overemphasis on intellectual property protection. The current human rights regime is unable to sufficiently address these complex factors, as it remains deeply rooted in the individual rights system and lacks a fully-fledged distributive justice vision. Against this backdrop, this article reinvigorates the right to technology by recommending its protection as a collective right. It considers how and why the right to technology should be redefined as a collective right that entitles people to enjoy the benefits of technological progress and minimizes the harms that such progress may cause. A collective right to technology can protect both larger societal interests in maintaining public freedom and dignity, as well as specific group interests in guarding against the use of technologies to prejudice group freedom and dignity. This new understanding of the right to technology, therefore, sets distributive justice agendas for promoting the development of intellectual property law into the public interest.

Abstract:

Human rights education is an integral part of the right to education. The concept of human rights is about knowledge of rights and freedom with respect for the right of all. Education is also a right of every single individual and it is a necessary tool to empower, and develop skills and attitudes, to promote equality, dignity, and respect for all. Human rights education provides a fair understanding of the structure of injustice on the basis of cultural, economical, and social discrimination at various levels of caste, gender, etc. Possibly the knowledge of own rights enhances the sense of self and respect for all. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the levels of awareness of these rights amongst students of higher secondary school levels. The study followed the descriptive survey design method and stratified random sampling techniques were adopted to select the sample. A self-developed awareness scale and focus group discussion were used to collect data. The data were analyzed by using simple percentile and content analysis. The findings of the study indicated that many of the students are aware of fundamental human rights while limited awareness about the right to education as a human right and its provisions. The study recommended that programs should be organized to create awareness of human rights education and the role of various organizations in the protection of the right of a human. Because human rights education could create opportunities to raise critical questions on the violation of rights related to a child, education, injustice, etc.

Abstract:

There is an ambivalent relationship between technology and human rights. Film and video technology not only have the power to control but also to frame accounts of human suffering, protest and attempts to promote human rights. The history of ideologically motivated film making has testified to the plasticity of forms of visual representations. Non-Governmental Organisations in the human rights field should consider the potential and the philosophical limitations of video to their work.

Abstract:

The article examines information rights as a component of the fourth generation of human rights. It is emphasized that the fourthgeneration of rights is forming in the modern post-industrial society, in which the active development of information technology is ta -king place. The fourth generation of subjective human rights consists of the right to information and information systems. It is emphasizedthat nowadays information technology has a significant impact on the status of individuals, the realization of their rights and requirea review of legal regulation at both international and national levels. It is noted that the right to information, which is enshrined in theConstitution of Ukraine, consists of particular provisions representing independent subjective rights. In general, they can be divi ded intotwo groups: ‘rights to the right’ (freedom of thought and freedom of speech, freedom of the media, right to freely collect, store, use anddisseminate information in any lawful manner, right of everyone to reliable information about the environment) and rights to exercise therights of the first group (here the emphasis is mainly placed on forms of information dissemination, on storage and use of documentedinformation, on information technology and information protection, on protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in the proces -sing of personal data, including protection of rights to privacy, personal and family secret). It is concluded that change in the developmentof the information society clearly indicates that information technology (in particular, the right to information as a fourth generation right)is changing all generations of human rights. Therefore, the increase in the amount of information belonging to a person puts forward newrequirements for legal methods of protecting the human right to information. Timely response to alterations in the information sphere,including in the field of electronic interaction between citizens and the state, will allow developing new ways to ensure the human rightto information, the realization of which can accelerate the legal development of Ukraine in a post-industrial information society and therule-of-law state, protecting the information sphere of everyone no less than other, more traditional rights and freedoms.

Abstract:

This article examines the human rights challenges of police use of facial recognition technology from a European perspective. Based on both international human rights law, the European Convention on Human Rights and EU law, the article argues that the technology challenges human rights. The focus of the article is on the right to privacy and data protection, as this right is fundamentally at risk by the technology. Acknowledging that other rights and guarantees are also negatively impacted by the use of facial recognition technology, the article makes reference to the risk of discrimination, and the unregulated cooperation between State and the surveillance technology industry. However, a central point in the article is that irrespective of whether the technology can be refined to eliminate risk of discrimination, and even if sufficient safeguards for cooperation between State and the industry are put in place, fundamental challenges remain in relation to the right to privacy and data protection. The technology captures the unique facial features of an individual known as biometric data which is highly sensitive data and creates an interference with the right to privacy and data protection. By allowing facial recognition, society allows for an entirely new type of intensive surveillance. The use of the technology also entails a risk of chilling effect on e.g. freedom of assembly which furthers negative implications on human rights. The article concludes that when it comes to police use of facial recognition technologies, States should tread carefully and ensure that a sufficient human rights-based regulatory framework and adequate safeguards are in place before considering using the technology.

Abstract:

Information technology has the potential to transform healthcare and eradicate many of the inequities seen in the area by improving availability and management of health information. However the use of electronic means to process sensitive health data poses significant risks. Electronic health records have been designed to be more secure than traditional paper records, but there have been notable cases where data has been lost, stolen, or viewed by unauthorised persons. Misuse of information technology can result in severe violations of human rights. In particular the right to privacy can be eroded by inadequate protections which persist in some health systems. This article describes recent developments in the area, analyses legal provisions for protection of health data, outlines examples of rights violations, and proposes future directions.

Abstract Human rights professionals are significant actors in international institutions, humanitarian interventions, and other dimensions of global governance. Despite their significance, they remain part of an under-researched global elite of international expert practitioners. This article explores the challenges of conducting transnational research involving human rights professionals in exploring the networks of institutions, actors and relationships in human rights fieldwork. It raises practical and methodological issues related to research relationships, access to participants and information, and the larger contexts of geopolitical and structural power. Using insights from human rights professionals themselves, it illuminates questions of expertise, identity and location, as well as the mediating roles of texts and technology in the research and in the network of practice.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the development of artificial intelligence and its impact on human rights. The ways of introducing artificial intelligence technologies into various spheres of human life are determined. It is considered how different artificial intelligence systems are used today in the world and how they can help and harm society. The analysis of the impact of artificial intelligence on human rights is based on documents widely used in Europe and containing a wide range of human rights, the General Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, economic, social and cultural rights of 1966 and the Charter of Fundamental EU rights. The misuse of artificial intelligence algorithms creates many problems, such as violation of the right to life, the right to privacy, restriction of freedom of speech and opinion, violation of the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence, the right to equal opportunity and non-discrimination, the right to work, etc. Since artificial intelligence technologies use certain data sets, the violation of the rights of certain groups of the population is most often observed. These may include women and children, as well as certain ethnic, racial or religious groups. The article concludes that the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in various areas of life can qualitatively change them and increase the effectiveness of any human work. However, the rapid development of technology can have a negative impact on human rights. Risks to fundamental human rights stem from the inability to foresee the consequences of such new technology. Governments of the world and companies using artificial intelligence technologies should be aware of the imperfection of the data on which the technology is trained, and take care to prevent discrimination and violations of human rights, be ready to provide timely and effective remedies in cases where decisions made by machines, turn out to be wrong.

Abstract:

Since the end of military government in Brazil, civilian governments have sought the accumulation and exercise of power to the detriment of the citizenry. Since the 1990s they have started to implement information technology in the public sector to regulate and run the country in a command-and-control way through technological or bureaucratic dictatorship rather than democratic process. While it is evident that there is a high level of investment in information technology in the public sector (e-government) in Brazil, there are also clear signs of the violation of human rights in terms of privacy. It is alleged that thousands of individual files have been accessed in the public administration, despite the privacy protection offered by the national constitution. This paper shows how information technology (e-government) in Brazil could lead to violations of human rights, including invisible electronic surveillance that affects civil liberties and individual rights.

Abstract:

Throughout history, mankind has been inclined to use an increasingly advanced technology to enhance communication skills between them. Communication already represents a need as essential as it is considered one of the fundamental human rights. This right of communication today translates, among others, as the right to freedom of expression, as well as the right to information. These rights are provided in the highest acts such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, the Constitution of the Republic of Albania as well as other laws or bylaws issued on the basis and implementation of the Constitution. The human right to express oneself, to be informed and at the same time to preserve privacy, is developing along with the great boom that has taken place in the development of communication technology, in an increasingly connected world, so much so that to look like a global village, where information spreads very quickly. The evolution that has taken place with the development of information technology and related digital communications in recent years has changed the communication practices around the world. But in addition to this, the legislation that regulates this field has undergone constant changes, due to the fact of direct implication for human rights.

Abstract:

This special issue examines the diverse realities created by the intersection of emerging technologies, new scientific knowledge, and the human being. It engages with two key questions: how is the human being shaped and constructed in new ways through advances in science and technology? and how might these new ways of imagining the subject shape present and future human rights law and practice? The papers examine a variety of scientific technologies—personalized medicine and organ transplant, mitochondrial DNA replacement, and scaffolds and regenerative medicine—and their implications for our conceptualization of the human subject. Each is then followed by a commentary that both brings to light new dimensions of the original paper and presents a new theoretical take on the topic. Together these papers offer a serious challenge to the vision of the human subject at the root of human rights law. Instead of the autonomous, rational, unique, and physically discrete individual who owns herself and her body, the subject that emerges from the human technology assemblage has physically porous boundaries and a relational self. This depiction of the human being as a relational subject enmeshed in her technoscientific environment requires that we reconceptualize human rights law and practice.

Abstract:

The study sought to empirically test the contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) to the advancement of human rights, drawing on the fact that safeguarding human rights through the use of ICT is a field of increasing interest to academics and those working towards the advancement of human rights and development practitioners. The literature on ICT and human rights holds the view that ICT can play a significant role in the advancement of human rights. ICT has become an essential instrument for realising human rights, and ensuring its accessibility must be a primary concern for all governments. However, despite the increase in ICT usage, the southern African region has been marred by atrocities and human rights violations. Many southern African governments regularly impose restrictions on human rights defenders, journalists, and rights activists, often to suit political goals. The use of ICT has extensive effects on the human rights agenda and forms an important tool in its endeavours to gather, analyse, and spread information and advocate for fitting remedies in response to human rights infringements. It is against this background that this study sought to examine the contribution of ICT to the advancement of human rights. The study was quantitative in nature, using panel data to estimate its model. The findings reveal a weak positive relationship between ICT and the advancement of human rights. The study recommends that governments and civil society encourage the use of ICT functionality in ways that advance human rights.

Abstract:

Experiments with new technologies in migration management are increasing. From Big Data predictions about population movements in the Mediterranean, to Canada's use of automated decision-making in immigration and refugee applications, to artificial-intelligence lie detectors deployed at European borders, States are keen to explore the use of new technologies, yet often fail to take into account profound human rights ramifications and real impacts on human lives. These technologies are largely unregulated, developed and deployed in opaque spaces with little oversight and accountability. This paper examines how technologies used in the management of migration impinge on human rights with little international regulation, arguing that this lack of regulation is deliberate, as States single out the migrant population as a viable testing ground for new technologies. Making migrants more trackable and intelligible justifies the use of more technology and data collection under the guise of national security, or even under tropes of humanitarianism and development. The way that technology operates is a useful lens that highlights State practices, democracy, notions of power, and accountability. Technology is not inherently democratic and human rights impacts are particularly important to consider in humanitarian and forced migration contexts. An international human rights law framework is particularly useful for codifying and recognising potential harms, because technology and its development is inherently global and transnational. More oversight and issue-specific accountability mechanisms are needed to safeguard fundamental rights of migrants such as freedom from discrimination, privacy rights and procedural justice safeguards such as the right to a fair decision-maker and the rights of appeal.

Abstract:

Information Technologies (ITs) are highly useful for Human rights promotion globally. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have proved the influential tool to fight against violations of Human rights. ICT has represented a way to strengthen human rights. Technology also means that individuals’ human rights are exposed to unprecedented risks, caused by the transition of these rights to the digital field. If we observe the different revolutions around the world especially the county having autocracy for a long period of time has been overruled with the help of ICTs. In this study, the analysis of the role of ICTs in Human rights has been made. The study summarizes that the ICT is playing vital role in establishing awareness and preventing violation of human rights of the global citizens.

Abstract:

The article focuses on a comprehensive theoretico-legal study of the content, features and problems of human rights realization in the context of digitalization of society as well as on following development of evidence based recommendations, practical mechanisms aimed at the viable defence of human rights and freedoms in modern Russia. The methodological basis of the study is represented by the general scientific dialectic method and a set of scientific methods of understanding (technical, systemic structural, aristotelian method). The results show that at the current stage of the development of society, the state is required to protect human rights and interests in the context of global digitalization. The legislator should determine the forms of information turnover; establish the rights and duties of participants in “digital” legal relations; the limits of digital technology application. It is concluded that the development of information technology is accompanied by the abuse of such means for criminal purposes, and also emphasizes the development needs of legal measures to counter offenses and crimes in the field of digitalization of all areas of society.

Abstract:

The seventieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) comes at a time of more contestation than usual over the future of human rights. A sense of urgency animates debates over whether the institutions and ideas of human rights can, or should, survive current geopolitical changes. This symposium, by contrast, shifts the lens to a more slow-moving but equally profound challenge to human rights law: how technology and its impacts on our social and physical environments are reshaping the debate on what it means to be human. Can the UDHR be recast for a time in which new technologies are continually altering how humans interact, and the legal status of robots, rivers, and apes alike are at times argued in the language of rights?

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of the legal nature of digital human rights. The author emphasizes theexisting terminological contradictions in scientific doctrine regarding the name of this group of human rights. Thus, it is noted thatresearchers call the rights that are associated with the development of information (including the Internet) technology: information, virtual,digital (digital rights), Internet rights (Internet rights), the right to communicate rights to communicate), freedom to connect withany person, at any time, in any place, for any purpose (freedom to connect – to anyone, anytime, anywhere, for anything).In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the author drew attention to the understanding of the concept and features of theInternet both in scientific doctrine and at the legislative level. The author emphasizes the problematic aspects that exist in the directionof distinguishing between digital and information rights, noting that the legal nature of the latter is not clearly defined. In attempting tomake such a distinction, the author notes that the object of both rights under study is information, however, digital rights exist due tothe existence of the Internet, and therefore contain a communication component. However, digital rights, while largely identical in contentwith the right to information, nevertheless emerge as a whole new area of human rights.In addition, in the course of the study the author considered the main types of digital rights. In particular, it is stated that digitalrights include the right to access the Internet, the right to protection of personal data and the right to be forgotten. However, the authordraws attention to the fact that in addition to digital rights, there are also obligations that arise from them, as a result of which he definesthe legal obligations associated with the implementation of each of the studied digital rights, using the provisions of international law,national legislation, foreign experience and case law. In addition, the need to conduct research in the field of legal obligations throughthe prism of the implementation of digital human rights was emphasized.

Abstract:

The first main objective of Maqasid I Shari`ah is the completion of human’s necessity; in which protection of progeny (nasl) is the foremost purpose. The preservation of lineage is greatly emphasized by the Islamic Shariah and the Cairo declaration of human rights in Islam also supported the protection of lineage in Islam. All the articles of CDHRI covered the five basic human rights mentioned in Maqasid I Shariah. The research is focused on delineating the concept of protection of lineage as one of the main objective of Shariah and it is supported by evidences from Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam along with Quranic verses and traditions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). The aspects covered in the paper range from discussion of right of progeny as well as equal rights of progeny for male and female; rights of children with the hierarchy of their rights from the stage of fetus, having proper nursing, caring, education and a healthy beginning of life. The comparative analysis based on arguments of Shariah and the CDHRI proves that it is the basic objective of Shariah to protect all fundamental rights and right of progeny has the foremost significance in it.

Abstract:

The close relationship between industrial development and environmental pollution is considered the main problem of negative climate changes and the deterioration of life quality leading to an increase in mortality. In this regard, the protection of environmental human rights is of great importance. The paper aims to assess the trends of industrial influence on the human environment and the level of protection of environmental human rights in different countries through reviewing and analysis of the set of relevant studies. The paper brings novelty exploring an array of objectives for protecting human environmental rights in the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, implementation of a circular and resource-efficient economy, together with the Industry 4.0 technologies for industrialized countries, including Ukraine. Most studies consider contradictions between the economic and environmental goals of both businesses and the state the main obstacle for the ecologization of industrial production. The economic feasibility of introducing more resource-efficient business models has been proved. The impact of Ukrainian industrial companies on the environment and the state of human environmental rights protection is studied. The results of the study allow stating that the resource and energy inefficiency of industrial technology in the country, as well as the weakness of state institutions in the implementation of reforms for sustainable development, is a fundamental threat to human rights and a healthy life.

Abstract:

Abstract: Human rights not only in India but also around the world environment is intrinsically linked: safe, clean, healthy. A sustainable environment is essential to the enjoyment of our human rights; even though a polluted, dangerous and otherwise unhealthy environment potentially violates our human rights. Environmental rights are not abstract, distant and irrelevant concepts; are measurable, distinctive and functional aspects of society and its ecology. When environmental rights are violated, people and the planet suffer from reduced health and well-being. According to the Article 21 of the Indian Constitution that everyone on the country has the right to a healthy environment. This major decision is the result of decades of mobilization of various stakeholders. States must now meet their commitments and step up their efforts. This article aims to list relevant information, research, data and press releases and other institutions

Abstract:

This review surveys contemporary challenges in the field of technology and human rights. The increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) in decision making in the public and private sectors—e.g., in criminal justice, employment, public service, and financial contexts—poses significant threats to human rights. AI obscures and attenuates responsibility for harms in ways that undermine traditional mechanisms for holding wrongdoers accountable. Further, technologies that scholars and practitioners once thought would democratize human rights fact finding have been weaponized by state and non-state actors. They are now used to surveil and track citizens and spread disinformation that undermines public trust in knowledge. Addressing these challenges requires efforts to ensure that the development and implementation of new technologies respects and promotes human rights. Traditional distinctions between public and private must be updated to remain relevant in the face of deeply enmeshed state and corporate action in connection with technological innovation.

Abstract:

Politicising the smartphone pocket archives and experiences of 16 young refugees living in the Netherlands, this explorative study re-conceptualises and empirically grounds communication rights. The focus is on the usage of social media among young refugees, who operate from the margins of society, human rights discourse and technology. I focus on digital performativity as a means to address unjust communicative power relations and human right violations. Methodologically, I draw on empirical data gathered through a mixed-methods, participatory action fieldwork research approach. The empirical section details how digital practices may invoke human right ideals including the human right to self-determination, the right to self-expression, the right to information, the right to family life and the right to cultural identity. The digital performativity of communication rights becomes meaningful when fundamentally situated within hierarchical and intersectional power relations of gender, race, nationality among others, and as inherently related to material conditions and other basic human rights including access to shelter, food, well-being and education.

Abstract:

One of the important problems faced by the government in Indonesia is the demands for the enforcement of (severe) human rights that occurred in the past. This issue is no longer limited to the political will of the government, but the problem continues on how to formulate an appropriate conception of justice for the severance of relations with the past, whether by enforcing the law against past violations or the termination in other forms as has been done by several Countries in the world. In this paper using the literature study method by examining data sources related to this writing with the results of the study showing the weakness of the government's efforts to resolve past human rights violations so that community participation is needed to contribute to solving past human rights problems. in Indonesia by reviving the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, because its philosophy is very important in maintaining a more conducive harmonious social life.

Abstract:

This manuscript helps to resolve the ongoing debate concerning the effect of information communication technology on human rights monitoring. We reconceptualize human rights as a taxonomy of nested rights that are judged in textual reports and argue that the increasing density of available information should manifest in deeper taxonomies of human rights. With a new automated system, using supervised learning algorithms, we are able to extract the implicit taxonomies of rights that were judged in texts by the US State Department, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch over time. Our analysis provides new, clear evidence of change in the structure of these taxonomies as well as in the attention to specific rights and the sharpness of distinctions between rights. Our findings bridge the natural language processing and human rights communities and allow a deeper understanding of how changes in technology have affected the recording of human rights over time.
