Abstract:

In this article I argue that the fundamental axiological claim of the New Natural Law Theory, according to which human life has an intrinsically valuable, cannot be defended within the framework assumed by the New Natural Law Theory itself, and further, that such a claim turns out to be false relative to a wider eudaimonistic framework that the Natural Law theorist is committed to accept. I do this this by adopting a dialectical standpoint which excludes any assumptions that could be de-nied by the New Natural Law theorist, except for the axiological claim, and show that the New Natural Law theorist cannot argue for the axiological claim’s plausibility, and moreover, that in such a setting the New Natural Law theorist is compelled to replace the axiological claim by the claim that human life is instrumentally valuable.

And from an Islamic perspective we will read and see in the understanding of Islamic law itself. The problems inherent in human beings are something that attracts scientists, philosophers and also legal experts. Because in the human being itself is stored the will, rights and freedom that are inherent in him. Human rights (HAM) are rights that are owned by all people in accordance with humane conditions. Human problems are a matter of complexity, if the rights inherent in themselves are not fought for and protected, there will be social slavery, human colonization, and regulation. monolithic life. So that freedom and the will for independence should be restrained in the shackles of outside forces who "colonize". In history, the origin of human rights is from the theory of natural rights (Natural Rights theory). The natural theory of rights originates from the theory of natural law (natural law theory), the latter of which can be traced back all the way back to ancient times with stoic philosophy to modern times through the natural law writings of Saint Thomas Aquinas

The purpose of this article is to articulate the philosophical perspective of human life as narrative with the humanist project of law and literature research. For that, an approximation is made between the novel The House of the Dead and the writings about the APAC Method; then, the narrative perspective of human life in its relationship with literature is discussed. After that, possible objections to the humanist project are analyzed. The conclusion is the possibility of a dialogue between law and literature, as long as the autonomy of both areas is recognized.

Abstract:

The study of human values is an interesting thing because it relates to human life. In human life, values, morals and law cannot be separated. In fact, problems in human life occur when there is no longer the role of values, morals and law in life. Values are a very important foundation that regulates all human behavior. Values are a source of strength in upholding social order and regularity. Thus, morals are the basis of human behavior which makes life run according to humanist-religious norms of life. The power of law is a control in regulating justice regarding the rights and obligations of every human being in carrying out important roles for human life. The role of values, morals and law is an important part of the process of forming the character of a nation. A good organization requires the application of good values, especially so that it can carry out its mission smoothly so that the expected vision is achieved. Values that can be applied include: Integrity, professionalism, accountability, innovation and caring.

Abstract:

Abstract Euthanasia or "sweet death" is a topic that has sparked numerous debates throughout history. In Albania, the right to life is protected by Article 21 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania. Regarding the individual's right to die in Albania, both forms of euthanasia, the passive and the active one, are considered criminal offenses and are punishable by law. The problem lies in the fact that such a definition is not found in the Albanian legislation, but such actions are considered as criminal by the interpretation of the law. In this topic we will study the perception of Albanians regarding euthanasia and whether the Albanian legislation should include this form of soft death or not. The protection of life in the country should take the dimensions of a sustainable protection. For this reason, in addition to the positive effects of improving life protection that derive from the application of the entirety of the various criminal justice programs and policies, also including the recent amendments to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania, a concrete and continuous protection should be provided in support of the right to life. I have always drawn a debate on this issue, which deals with the fundamental human right, with the most sacred right, that of life.

Abstract:

The development of national and international biotechnology law in the context of new constitutional priorities, threats and challenges to life, public health and safety, is one of the current and yet under-researched topics in the scientific legal literature. Unfortunately, pro-gress in the life sciences is proceeding faster than the legal thinking that should accompany them. Breakthroughs in biology and medicine dictate the corresponding development of law, which today unfortunately lags chronically behind, resulting in gaps and contradictions between existing legal norms. As contemporary researchers have noted, and as is also evident in judicial practice, the issues of regulating the objects of bio-law - the body, life, procreation, self-identification, and ecology - mirror the contradictions of our society. The need to legally regulate the application of biotechnology has led to the formation of bioclaw as a new, integrated set of laws and, in the long term, as a branch of law of a new generation. As a response to the rapid introduction of advances in biotechnology into human life, we believe that bio-law must take into account the benefits and challenges associated with the impact of new technologies on the human body that may fundamentally alter the human condition as a physical individual. In this case, ethical issues, i. e. the requirements of bioethics, lead to a reflection on the content of bioethics in contemporary democracies and legal states. In particular, the introduction of technologies associated with gene editing, cloning, surrogacy, transplantation medicine, sex reassignment surgeries and other interventions into human nature, the consequences of which are not fully understood and threaten the physical and mental health of individuals, can cause irreparable harm to the spiritual, social, moral and ethical foundations of individuals, families, society, states and humanity as a whole. In our opinion, in the next few decades, bio-law will emerge as a global, integrated branch of law that simultaneously incorporates the norms of international law and national law. The main purpose of bio-law as a new branch of law is to counteract the global threat to humanity which consists in the emergence of a trend toward mass, large-scale changes to human nature and its unique natural qualities through the use of biotechnological advances. Therefore, the object of regulation and, accordingly, protection by this branch of law is not only the individual, his or her physical and spiritual health, but humanity as a whole, current and future generations. The uniqueness of bio-law as a new branch of law also lies in the fact that the individual, humanity, present and future generations are both the objects and subjects of law. The integrated nature of bioprinciples is manifested in the close connection of public and private interests with the obvious predominance of the public significance of their legal norms.

Abstract:

Sins touch human dignity. There is an undeniable connection between sin and human dignity. We were created for virtue, and sin robs us of the honor of people created in God's image. The fight against sin is a permanent part of the Christian life and it extends throughout our life. But sins bring damage not only to the perpetrator, but also on a social level. Sin takes away human's freedom, bringing him slavery. Sin thus ends up ruining the order of human life, inverting values, overturning them.

Abstract:

In the last few years Indonesia has been experiencing a new wave of Muslim revival. In addition to the growing popularity of conservative and even radical Muslim ideologies such as Wahhabism and Salafism, this de facto multi-religious society is facing a strong trend towards religious segregation. Indonesians are looking for new forms of their religious manifestation and expressions of their piety. One of the most vivid examples of Muslim separation from other religions is the perumahan syariah, a new form of gated communities in Indonesia. The article describes the growing phenomenon of closed neighborhoods where residents’ lives are restricted by Sharia law. The paper first describes the roots of the current religious revival and its impact on the social situation, then deepens the definition of gated communities in the context of perumahan syariah as well as controversies linked to the topic. In conclusion, the possible implications for social life in Indonesia are presented.

I will call this general theoretical stance Minimalism.

Abstract:

Human rights law in the context of answering human rights debate as the spirit of constitutional law, international law, and criminal law. civil law, and procedural law with a blended approach international law and national law. In the Islamic context, the understanding of Human Rights is studied through the understanding of Islamic Law itself. The problems inherent in humans are of interest to scientists, philosophers, and legal experts because humans have inherent will, rights, and freedom. in Islam, all human rights are obligations of a state or individual that cannot be ignored. Hence, human rights in Islamic law are related to the concept of equality which is transcendentally stipulated for the benefit of humans through Islamic law. In Islamic law, humans are beings who have duties and responsibilities and have rights and freedoms based on justice. Human rights are rights that are owned by everyone in accordance with human conditions. Human problems are complex if the rights inherent in humans are not fought for and protected, such as the right to life, the right to freedom, the right to religion, the right to justice, the right to equality, the right to education, the right to freedom of opinion, the right to ownership, and the right to get a job. .In other words, without protection there will be social oppression, human colonization, and authoritarian life arrangements. Therefore, freedom and the will for independence must be protected from oppressive outside forces.

Abstract:

This paper examines the interplay between international human rights law and international humanitarian law especially in situations of armed conflict. When this overlap occurs, the general position in international law is that international human rights law shall apply in times of peace as ‘lex generalis’, or general law, while international humanitarian law shall apply in situations of armed conflict as ‘lex specialis’, or special law, thereby displacing or keeping in abeyance general law. The position is reliant on the doctrine ‘lex specialis derogat legi generali’ meaning that special or specific law suspends general law. The paper, therefore, examines the appropriateness of using the doctrine ‘lex specialis derogat legi generali’ in situations of interplay between the two fields of international law, especially when it comes to the question of the sanctity of life. With reference to the duty to protect life, the paper notes that, the doctrine of ‘lex specialis’ does not adequately clarify the coordination which must desirably exist between the two fields of international law, and in any case it places limits on protection of victims. The paper argues, therefore, that, a well-coordinated application of international human rights law and international humanitarian law is vital to ensuring adequate protection of victims during all situations of armed conflict, because the general trend in the world today is to move towards broader protection of victims, and not towards limitation. In conclusion, therefore, the paper advocates for the need to substitute the ‘lex specialis’ doctrine with a more coherent theory which balances the reality of conflict with the respect for humanity and protection of life.

Abstract:

Digitalization of all (or almost all) spheres of human life also affects the problems of law and law enforcement. Purpose: to analyze some aspects of digitalization of crime, human rights and freedoms, administration of justice. Methods: analysis of literary sources, statistics, theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic are used. Results: the review of the dynamics of modern crime rate and structure in the world and in Russia allows us to conclude that there is a tendency to reduce the crime rate, especially violent crime, and the emergence of new types of «digital» crimes - cybercrimes, fraud in the field of computer technology. The use of digital methods of observing over people has given rise to a new and complex problem: «security measures versus human rights and freedoms», «orwellization» of life. Digital methods will increasingly be used in the administration of justice. «Electronic scales of justice», offering a measure of punishment in a specific criminal case is one of the implementations of introducing digitalization in judicial proceedings.

Every human being has rights that have been given since humans are in and the right to life is an absolute right that must be lived by every human being. Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights does not provide space for euthanasia because euthanasia is contrary to the provisions of the Human Rights Law, especially the right to life of a person. The right to life in Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights explains that every human being or every person without exception has the right to life, the right not to be tortured, the right to personal freedom thought and conscience, the right to religion, the right not to be enslaved, the right to recognized as a person and equality before the law, and the right not to study based on applicable law is a human right that cannot be reduced under any circumstances and by anyone.

Abstract:

The philosophical answer to Milton's problem is, like so many philosophical answers, a counter-question. What do you mean by human life? This could involve further probing of a kind that a pre-Darwinian like John Milton would fail to comprehend. Does he include Neanderthal man, for example, in “human life”, or does he want to start with Homo sapiens?A resurrected Milton might protest that in writing Paradise Lost he was not concerned with problems of evolution (of which he had not previously heard). His question suggests that he was thinking of the “life” of a particular “human being”; but he knew so little of what we now call biology that he would probably have been as nonplussed by the biological answer to his problem as one given in terms of prehistory.

Abstract This paper analyzes the idea of “human exceptionalism” from the perspective of Tibetan Buddhism. It argues that, in the Tibetan Buddhist context, many of the negative consequences of human exceptionalism are overshadowed by the concept’s ability to promote an altruistic comportment to the more-than-human world when supported by the Buddhist ontology and its broader project of liberating all beings from duhkha. To this end, this paper looks at how Tibetan Buddhist teachers qualify a “precious human life” by conducting a close reading of primary texts before extrapolating some general themes of these selected passages and applying them to our contemporary ecological situation. In doing so, it makes the argument that human exceptionalism is not a problem in and of itself but has a positive or negative effect on the more-than-human world depending on how it is established, maintained, and understood. It also demonstrates how Tibetan Buddhism can be a useful tradition for thinking alongside as we attempt to address global issues concerning the environment and nonhuman animals.

Abstract:

Lynton K. Caldwell presented the following article as a paper at the third annual “Dialogues in Biology and Politics” panel co-sponsored by the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences and the American Political Science Association at their 1984 conventions in Washington, D.C.—The EditorBecause some of the language that follows is unconventional, it may be useful to clarify terms at the outset. The term biocracy as used here has two meanings, or more accurately, has two aspects to an inclusive meaning. The inclusive meaning is the influence of life forces on human social behavior, notably political behavior. The first, and basic, aspect of biocracy pertains to the actual influence of life forces on human society whether or not perceived or understood. The second aspect refers to the perceived effects on society of the findings and applications of the life sciences. Perceived effects mayor may not be consistent with actual influences; they may nonetheless shape popular attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors. To the extent that life forces are deterministic they shape the character of societies. The extent to which human social behavior is biologically determined is largely unknown. At the very least, life forces appear to set limits within which human culture may select various options.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article describes the relevant interpretation of the right to life by human rights treaty bodies and analyses how this might influence the law relating to the use of force in armed conflicts and occupations where international humanitarian law is unclear. The concurrent applicability of international humanitarian law and human rights law to hostilities in armed conflict does not mean that the right to life must, in all situations, be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of international humanitarian law. The author submits that the human rights law relating to the right to life is suitable to supplement the rules of international humanitarian law relating to the use of force for non-international conflicts and occupation, as well as the law relating to civilians taking a “direct part in hostilities”. Finally, by making reference to the traditional prohibition of assassination, the author concludes that the application of human rights law in these situations would not undermine the spirit of international humanitarian law.

Abstract:

This article introduces the subject-matter of a symposium on international law and science-fiction. The impact of new technologies on human rights, humanitarian issues and indeed on what it means to be human in a technological age, suffers from a paucity of international legal attention. The latter has been attributed to various factors ranging from technophobia and technological illiteracy, inclusive of an instrumentalist view of technology, to the sense that such attention is the domain of science-fiction, not of international law. The article extends an invitation to pay attention to the attention science-fiction has given to the man-machine interaction and its impact on the human condition. Placing this invitation in the context of the ‘‘law and literature’’ movement, the article exemplifies its value with respect to two technologies, one directed at creating life or saving it (cloning and organ donation) and the other at ending life (lethal autonomous robots).

Abstract:

Character education is an important element in the effort to prepare superior Indonesian human resources, it is of particular concern to be applied especially among students, there is a need for character education because the attitudes and behavior of the people and people of Indonesia now tend to ignore the noble values of Pancasila which are highly respected and should be rooted in everyday attitudes and behaviors, values such as honesty, politeness, togetherness and religious, gradually eroded by foreign cultures that tend to be hedonistic, materialistic, and individualistic, so that the noble character values are ignored in the future if students and young people are not equipped with character education. Law students have their own challenges, especially in the era of globalization. This paper analyzes and illustrates the character strengthening program for law student activists in Semarang State University through several programs, namely public speaking, strengthening student idealism, strengthening advocacy capacitation and human rights assistance and self-motivation. This research is a field research with the object of research as activists of law students who are members of student organizations. This research confirms that the programs for strengthening the character of students experience several obstacles, one of which is the model used and a relatively short time. However, character education for student activists helps students to survive in real life as part of community members.

Abstract:

The author of the paper proceeds from inviolability of the premise that a person’s life presides the hierarchy of values protected by criminal law. Recognition and actual consolidation of this provision is one of unconditional achievements adopted in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of 1996. However, a myriad of additions and amendments made to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation after it entered into force raises the question of whether they do not call into question the postulate of human life as a priority object of criminal protection?To answer this question, the paper substantiates the thesis that decisive indicators of assessing a person’s life as the most important object of criminal law protection take the place in the system of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which the legislator has assigned to infringeent on life (primarily murder), and the grounds that are established by the General Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for imposing the strictest of all types of punishment (life imprisonment or death penalty). Based on these indicators, initially established in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the author concludes that at the time of its entry into force, a human life was really at the top of the system of values and goods protected by the Criminal Code. However, at present this conclusion cannot be considered indisputable, since the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has introduced other norms where the sanctions are stricter than the sanctions of the norm on murder, and the grounds for the appointment of life imprisonment now include not only encroachments on human life. The author proposes to construct sanctions norms — both newly introduced and already existing — in such a way that no crime can be punished more severely than murder. In addition, the author proposes to abandon the legislative and law enforcement practice of absorbing murder by qualifying elements of other crimes, bearing in mind that they should be qualified only cumulatively.

The article analyzes the problematic aspects of applicating the provisions of the Criminal Intelligence Act to the disclosure criminal offences. The author goes deeper into how much of the means used by criminal intelligence can legitimately penetrate into the private life of citizens. The examples of the case law are used as an attempt to find a limit (proportionality) between personal freedom and security in applying criminal intelligence activities.

Abstract:

The death penalty for convicts is an age-old subject to a lot of criticism from various quarters. The implementation of the death penalty is considered inconsistent with the principles of human rights which are principles of international law where countries cannot refuse because of common alignments, namely the right to life. The punishment of m ati raises pros and cons in Indonesian society, some agree with this punishment because the death penalty intends to protect the public interest and not a few oppose it, they argue that the death penalty is contrary to human rights principles. This fact encourages the author to examine the implementation of the death penalty based on human rights and Islamic law, this is because the majority of Indonesians are adherents of the Islamic religion and also because the implementation of the death penalty is still carried out in Indonesia in certain crime cases. To examine this conflict, the author uses a normative juridical method with the conclusion that the death penalty is contrary to human rights because it eliminates the right to life for a person, but the implementation of the death penalty can be justified if the implementation of the death penalty is carried out in order to protect human rights and is also imposed on convicts who commit crimes beyond the limits stipulated in the legislation.

Abstract:

Even though the notion of “disability” has received ongoing critical scrutiny and re-imagination within the field of disability studies, the concept of law has often been taken for granted. Although people with intellectual disabilities figure as subjects of legal discourse, seldom are they presented as participants in it. I argue that this owes to assumptions about law that fail to recognize the diversity of ways human beings exercise agency and experience normativity. I believe that research on the relationship between “law, religion, and disability” stands to benefit from imagining law as an interactional, symbolically plural human endeavour. I build on the theoretical framework of critical legal pluralism to highlight how law arises through interaction – informally and implicitly, as well as officially and explicitly. Drawing on fieldwork I carried out in L’Arche Montréal – a faith-based community serving people with intellectual disabilities – I illustrate the creative role that people with intellectual disabilities play in the construction of legal normativity. As important as it is to ask how law affects people with intellectual disabilities, is to ask about how their actions also shape law. When it comes to asking what law means for some of the most vulnerable members of society, it is not just a question of seeing how it may function either to prevent or to remedy harm. It is also a matter of seeing the ways in which law may facilitate (while being forged by) the cultivation of relationships and the liberation of human potential.

Abstract:

AbstractInternational human rights law is an as-yet underused branch of international law when assessing the legality of nuclear weapons and advocating for their elimination. It offers a far greater range of implementation mechanisms than does international humanitarian law (IHL), and arguably strengthens the protections afforded to civilians and combatants under IHL, particularly in non-international armed conflict. Of particular relevance are the rights to life, to humane treatment, to health and to a healthy environment, associated with the right to a remedy for violations of any human rights.

Abstract:

Since the birth of Louise Brown in 1978, the first human baby resulting from in vitro fertilisation (IVF), developments in reproductive medicine have opened up new opportunities to solve problems related to sterility/infertility and to avoid the transmission of serious genetic diseases to offspring. This article evaluates some challenges to human rights protection arising from medically assisted procreation (MAP), with particular reference to artificial insemination from a donor (AID) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). It analyses the regulation of MAP at the international, regional and domestic level. Specific attention is paid to two landmark judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) on MAP (S.H. v. Austria and Costa and Pavan v. Italy), with a special focus on the interpretation of the concept of family and private life contained therein and on the effects of the ECtHR rulings on the Italian legal order. It concludes that national legislation concerning MAP should be minimal, i.e. should afford substantial freedom and autonomy to the couples in their procreative choices, in accordance with their right to respect for private and family life.

There are a number of ethical issues connecting with the beginning of life, most obviously abortion and most recently research on embryos. These issues have a number of aspects, particularly in relation to fertility treatment and genetic manipulation but they all assume answers to prior questions about what it is to be a human being and when it is that an entity, to use a neutral term, is accorded the full protection due to a human person. So it is that in this first lecture I will be concentrating on souls, persons and embryos.

Abstract:

This research seeks to explore and understand the extent of human rights is violated by an elite force in Bangladesh. The constitutional right to life should not be derogated or suspended, and no person should be stripped of his or her basic human rights. (Number) of victims and human rights activists were recruited via snowball sampling and in-depth interviews were conducted. Secondary data was obtained via daily newspapers, magazines and bulletins published by various human rights organizations in Bangladesh. This is due to the elite force ignoring the existing constitutional guarantee of the right to life. The participants views were that the government has to ensure human rights are maintained. It should limit the jurisdiction of the elite force and conform to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Abstract:

Human rights must be implemented by the rules of community life, where each community group has its view and application of the freedom of human rights. The enforcement of human rights for LGBT people with Islamic law in Aceh is opposed by the international community because it is considered a violation of human rights. So the urgency of this research is to find out how far a person's understanding of human rights freedom is and what is the foundation on which they base human rights to exercise. After that, it will be concluded whether religious values continue to dominate society in acting. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method with a normative juridical approach, where the data and information to be collected both in terms of assessment and in terms of management is carried out interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary as well as cross-sectoral. The data and information are then analyzed in-depth normative juridical so that an overview of human rights in Indonesia is obtained. The results show that the concept of human rights applied in Indonesia uses the concept of cultural relativity and will not be relevant if it uses the concept of human rights in western countries which emphasize individual freedom.

Abstract:

Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to explore the extra-judicial killing situation in Bangladesh by analyzing both national and international human rights law. In addition, this paper will also identify the remedy that is available for the victim’s family for extra-judicial killing by law enforcement agencies, especially the Rapid Action Battalion of Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach This is a qualitative research where both primary and secondary sources have used to identify the situations of extra-judicial killings in Bangladesh, the human rights instruments and the judicial activism to protect human rights. Findings This paper will show impunity of the law enforcement agencies increasing the number of extra-judicial killings of citizens, by violating the Constitutional and International human rights law that deal with “right to life”. The state sovereignty is not hindering the implementation of the international law, but the judiciary of Bangladesh needs to be more efficient in protecting citizens’ human rights, along with bringing criminal prosecution against members of the law enforcement agencies, by providing “effective and adequate” remedy to the victim’s family. Research limitations/implications While analyzing the “right to life” under the International Human Rights Conventions, this paper will only deal with the UDHR and the ICCPR, as Bangladesh has ratified those Conventions. Originality/value This paper will add value to identify the present rights of the citizen under domestic and international law and to incorporate new legislation through finding the lack of present legislation to protect the right to life and remedy for extra-judicial killings in Bangladesh.
