Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights: Tensions and Convergences
ISBN: 9789004162907 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection offers an overview of the issues involved concerning the interface between human rights and intellectual property rights (IPRs). It makes clear that two schools of thought have developed. The first school maintains that human rights and IPRs are in fundamental conflict. Strong protection of IP is incompatible with human rights obligations. Thus, for resolving the conflict between the two, it is suggested that human rights should always prevail over IPRs. Whereas the second school of thought asserts that human rights and IPRs pursue the same aim; that is to define the...

ISBN: 9781842778913 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'We used to talk about development with a human face. We should be talking about development with a body'
Arit Oku-Egbas, African Regional Sexuality Resource Centre, Nigeria Sex and sexuality have always had a place at the heart of the development agenda - from concerns regarding population and environment, to practices in education and efforts for protecting reproductive health and rights. Yet this agenda has largely focused on negative dimensions of sexuality - disease, risk, violation - rather than positive aspects, including rights to sexual fulfillment, wellbeing and pleasure....

Universal Human Rights in a World of Difference
ISBN: 9780521881265 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the diverse work and often competing insights of women's human rights activists, Brooke Ackerly has written a feminist and a universal theory of human rights that bridges the relativists' concerns about universalizing from particulars and the activists' commitment to justice. Unlike universal theories that rely on shared commitments to divine authority or to an 'enlightened' way of reasoning, Ackerly's theory relies on rigorous methodological attention to difference and disagreement. She sets out human rights as at once a research ethic, a tool for criticism of injustice and a call to...

The Politics of Transition: The Hidden History of South Africa's Negotiated Settlement
ISBN: 9781841131788 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is an incisive look at the politics behind the negotiations and outcome of South Africa's transition to democracy. It is based on previously unexamined archival material and will be of great interest to anyone interested in South African politics, constitutional law, democracy and human rights. During the early 1990s, South Africans kept a close eye on the media coverage of South Africa's negotiated transition to democracy. Likened to a soap opera by some, the negotiations featured violent interlopers, dramatic walkouts, alliances and, somehow, a fortunate conclusion in the form of the...

On Torture
ISBN: 9780801890260 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Globally, no single issue resonates today as much as torture or allegations thereof. Under the current rubric of the war on terror, the governments of the United States and other democratic nations that have long decried human rights abuses have sought to alter the tone, tenor, and definition of the term. From where does the basis for this new paradigm derive? How might it affect a nation's moral and official authority in the eyes of its citizenry and the world? When, if ever, can torture be an accepted practice? What are the psychological and physical aftereffects of such physical and...

Freedom from Our Social Prisons: The Rise of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights
ISBN: 9780739122860 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to provide a belief system to empower people using the democratic system and human rights law. This author contends that neo-liberalism has created a large underclass and has impinged upon the right to development for those who do not fit into the "neo-liberal square." Economic, social, and cultural rights, which have been rising in importance within the United Nations and have been denied to many, can be implemented using the core minimum obligations as defined by the General Comments of the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

The Christian State
ISBN: 9780981571003 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christianity is the world's most popular religion, with 2.6 billion adherents worldwide. It is also the most persecuted. Despite its overwhelming worldwide majority, there are many countries where the majority is a minority and Christians suffer the worst harassment, discrimination, persecution, violence and even death. Ironically, one of the worst places in terms of Christian suffering is the very place where Christianity began, Judea and Samaria-commonly called the West Bank-as well as the nearby Gaza Strip. Only a few generations ago, when the Muslim majority refused to accept the presence...

Human Rights Transformed: Positive Rights and Positive Duties
ISBN: 9780199272761 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human rights have traditionally been understood as protecting individual freedom against intrusion by the State. In this book, Sandra Fredman argues that this understanding requires radical revision. Human rights are based on a far richer view of freedom, which goes beyond being let alone, and instead pays attention to individuals' ability to exercise their rights.
This view fundamentally shifts the focus of human rights. As well as restraining the State, human rights require the State to act positively to remove barriers and facilitate the exercise of freedom. This in turn breaks down... Human rights have traditionally been understood as protecting individual freedom against intrusion by the State. In this book, Sandra Fredman argues t...

Bait and Switch: Human Rights and U.S. Foreign Policy
ISBN: 9780415964487 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has become routine for the US government to invoke human rights to justify its foreign policy decisions and military ventures. But this human rights talk has not been supported by a human rights walk. Policy makers consistently apply a double standard for human rights norms: one the rest of the world must observe, but which the US can safely ignore. Based on extensive interviews with leading foreign policy makers, military officials, and human rights advocates, Mertus tells the story of how America's attempts to promote human rights abroad have, paradoxically, undermined those...

The Politics of Truth and Reconciliation in South Africa: Legitimizing the Post-Apartheid State
ISBN: 9780521802192 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was set up to deal with the human rights violations of apartheid. However, the TRC's restorative justice approach did not always serve the needs of communities at a local level. Based on extended anthropological fieldwork, this book illustrates the impact of the TRC in urban African communities in Johannesburg. It argues that the TRC had little effect on popular ideas of justice as retribution. This provocative study deepens our understanding of post-apartheid South Africa and the use of human rights discourse.

International Criminal Tribunals as Perpetrators?
ISBN: 9783836494472 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. International Criminal Tribunals, established to prosecute those responsible for the gravest crimes of mankind, have been subject to criticism because of prolonged periods of pre-trial detention endured by suspects.
This study discusses whether the respective practice violates the human rights of those detained. The author first analyses whether and to what extent human rights apply to the proceedings of those institutions that can be categorised as being truly international. By way of giving an introduction to the relevant procedural rules, she then portrays three different phases of the...
