Questions related to Human Rights
I am wondering if anyone has studied the relationship between human rights impact assessments and/or free, prior and informed consent processes and company-community conflict. In other words, has anyone studied whether there are significantly less conflicts in jurisdictions with stronger impact assessment and engagement (e.g FPIC)? Thank you.
The incorporation of the United States polluted freedom, liberty and justice, prostituted citizens as economic slaves and rewarded human rights abusers such as the King and Queen of England.
The current dismantling of the global cabal is long overdue and there is no place on Earth that should allow "The Crown" to exist, let alone secretive societies that operate in black ops.
More death and destruction has taken place by military industrial complex with complete human rights abuses than from any other means.
Until the military indutrial complex is demolished, global slavery is commonplace.
I want to understand if there is any research telling the accuracy of AI tools when investigating human rights violations and war crimes
Between the constitutional guarantees for the protection of human rights?
human rights and social development
Do you agree with the thesis thate we are witnessing the birth of a new kind of environmentalism/ecologism? Its purpose is not so much to protect the natural environment as to protect people who suffer the consequences of environmental damage and climate change.
An important problem that advocates of this concept is the dramatic ecological cost of social inequality.
Research into the impact of inequality on the deterioration of the quality of the natural environment began in the 1990s. They clearly showed that not only climate change and activities causing environmental degradation have their beneficiaries and victims.
They also showed that the natural environment also suffers from the growing inequality between the rich and the poor. For example, it has been proven that the rate of disappearance of species is more strongly associated with income inequalities than with factors such as population density or environmental policy.
Is it therefore legitimate to bind the responsibility of international organizations, states and economic entities for climate change and environmental damage with their responsibility regarding human rights violations, including those of economic, social and cultural nature?
I know that it will probably be considered an abstraction at this stage, but I am still curious about your views on the possible binding of these issues to the provisions of the third part of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of December 16, 1966, especially art. 11, art. 12 and art. 15.
All good in New 2019!
My work with the Saudi government and my 2002 proposal that you can read at https://www.ecoseeds.com/cool.html was adopted in August 2010 when 200 million hectares were set aside to replant native plants.
Then two years ago, the planting got started as the "Saudi Green Initiative" at the rate of one million trees per WEEK, until 10 billion are planted.
Then, last year, the Saudi Crown Prince got 24 countries together at the COP27 meeting, to form the "Middle East Green Initiative", which includes China, India, Pakistan and the UK, to all together plant 50 BILLION trees, to start doing something about Global Warming that you can see at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO8PcbxOu0Y which is the live-stream one hour long meeting, and the 200 million hectares of degraded lands getting planted, are mentioned at 2 min and 30 seconds into that video.
The only "new" thing we need, is for ALL of the countries of the world, start converting 80-85% of their annual military budgets, into Ecological Restoration budgets, to start the replanting of their country's natural areas, to give their people real "National Security".
You can see the difference in Oman, where you have the native forests, and where those forests were chopped down a long time ago. The rain can only follow the natural forests, and "no-forests, no rainfall"--so if we want rainfall in the arid parts of the world and in fresh-water stressed areas, then we need to turn those military budgets into a "Tree-native-grass and wildflower planting budget".
Please help me to understand veracity of claims regarding legal positivism and logical positivism
Is it possible that disciplines share epistemological approaches despite having a different domain?
There are 2 main similarities in this comparison
1) principle of precedence. In aglosaxon law it means nee judge decisions must mirror past. Pierce from science and Smolin hold a similar view "things like atomshsve tendencybto to act like past and things have more probabilities to act like past than not". Smolin formulatedprinci0le of precence that allows small novelty only
2) deduction from first principles.
Despite Newtonian and 17th century experimental its, large body of physics operates from principles. Principle of relativity, momentum conservation, constancy of light, tgermal equilibrium, energy conversation
Law has its own deduction from human rights principles such as freedom of expression, movement, freedom to life and conventions
So both disciplines share epistemological approaches despite having a different domain
One potential step that can be taken at a global level to address human rights violations is the establishment of international tribunals, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), which can investigate and prosecute individuals responsible for these violations. Another approach is the use of economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure to compel governments to improve their human rights records. Civil society organizations can also play a critical role in documenting and exposing human rights abuses, as well as advocating for change at the national and international levels. It's important to note, however, that addressing human rights violations requires a multifaceted approach that takes into account the specific political, social, and cultural contexts of each country, as well as the underlying structural factors that contribute to these violations.
what is public health, how dies it link to human rights
The protection of civil liberties and human rights is increasingly important in our ever-changing and interconnected world. A government's duty is to protect the rights of all its citizens and to ensure that, regardless of race, gender, or any other marginalized group, everyone is able to access the same opportunities and protection of their rights. It has become increasingly clear that governments must take active steps to ensure that civil liberties and human rights are respected and protected, as any violation of these rights can have significant implications for a society's overall well-being and safety.
In her essay, Paula Sabloff asserts that:
First and foremost, a democratic government protects people’s human rights as laid out in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Among these are the right to life, to freedom from degrading punishment or enslavement, and to follow one’s own beliefs. They also include the right to citizenship and, most relevant to dignity, the right to self-determination.
If you were asked to complete the sentence: A democratic government must ...

Abstract of the book:
The book is an original work presenting an ethical philosophy based on equal human rights. The author argues that only people with equal rights can make social knowledge objective. Considering that people have never had equal rights, social sciences have not discovered the essential point of their existence. Social scientists need to embrace social teaching based on equal human rights. Such knowledge would uncover the values necessary for a good life. Establishing equal human rights will bring radical reforms to the political economy, which can build a prosperous society.
Authorities have always suppressed equal human rights, so people cannot live in a prosperous society. Society has interrupted the equal right to work by allowing the existence of unemployment. Unemployed people must accept poorly paid jobs to feed themselves. It causes the exploitation of workers. Equal human rights are supposed to bring justice to the economy by shortening work hours until unemployment is removed. It will raise the demand for workers and their salaries in the free market until exploitation is eliminated. Then workers will have greater purchasing power, and the economy will grow. Such a policy would solve today's socioeconomic problems and build good capitalism.
Equal human rights are supposed to improve the economy significantly. One day, every worker will be able to work at every public work post they want at any time. Every public job post will be filled by a worker who offers higher productivity, more responsibility, and demands a lower price for current work. It is nothing but a developed work market open at all times. Such an economy cannot be realized soon, but once people establish it, private companies will lose the productivity battle with public companies, which will send capitalism down in history. This idea presents an enormous opportunity for socioeconomic improvement to build good socialism.
Finally, equal human rights mean that all people should have equal legislative, judicial, and executive powers. Everyone should get equal rights to evaluate others for whatever they do. Each positive evaluation should bring a small award to the assessed person, and each negative assessment should result in a minor punishment. Such a policy would make everyone work hard to please others and avoid hurting anybody. This has to create a good society. The equal evaluating power among people presents a new form of democracy, and the freedom of evaluation gives a new state of anarchy. Therefore, such a policy can be called democratic anarchy. Democratic anarchy alone should be capable of building a prosperous society.
Ultimately, the book argues that nothing more than equal human rights is needed to create a good society, and nothing less can make it. Once people accept equal human rights, they will unconditionally create a bright future for humankind, as presented in the book.
The book is presented here:
Digital slavery, in the form of a central bank digital currency that is programmable, is nothing but master-servant relationship that violates all human rights and is only used to control humanity in ways much worse and more destructive than the slavey by the Egyptians, Europeans, and Chinese, in addition to the Southern Americans pre-1900.
There's no excuse to allow a central bank digital currency , and in fact, the central banking system is more corrupt than any mafia on earth.

Dear friends!
I hope you are doing well. I recently wrote an article dealing with democracy in Russia. What do you think? Will there be democracy in Russia, what factors are in play? Article can be found here below:

Do the human rights rules in the constitutional have the same force and obligation to compare it with other rules. Can you divide the constitutional rule?
What are the obligations of states with regard to human rights in the face of increasing climate change?
in light of the digital opportunities capabilities and challenges, how do we guarantee the human right to his private life and the right to respect digital activity
State secret is a constitutional limitation reason for freedom of expression in Turkey. So I am looking for the laws or procedural legal principles which are balancing state secrets and human rights. I am searching laws about state secret privilege or state secrecy procedures.
Can anyone help me to formulate my research question for a thesis paper? I would like to do a research regarding the influence of sustainable development agenda 2030 on migration flows and human rights. Yet I also want to include in my research the fact, that not only safe and regular migration can help to achieve sustainable development, but the agenda 2030 can also have a positive impact on regular migration and human rights security (may be with a reference to gender issues or climate refugees).
I will be grateful of you could help me out!
Thank you!
Human rights and torture in regards to ontology and epistemology
This article talks about the human rights abuses by MNOCs in Nigeria Niger delta. It carefully and critically analyse the Mechanisms used by the MNOC during litigations and their level of engagement with their human rights obligations. Also there are suggested recommendations to address these Mechanism.
- Does normative legal philosophy also have a potential critical function vis-à-vis existing, empirically provable injustice where the injustice is not so much promoted or brought about by discriminatory laws, incorrect court rulings or actions contrary to human rights in the sense of an ideology, but rather by legislative and political laissez-faire or even omission (cf. e.g. mediterranean migrant crisis, anthropogenic climate change or pandemics)? From my point of view, this should be the case (but where is it explicitly stated and conceptually discussed?).
- Which concepts from the field of normative legal philosophy/ legal ethics could be used to transparently and rationally criticise such state and supranational omissions from a normative perspective? Should new concepts of legal ethics be developed, can existing concepts be adapted? Who are the primary addressees? From my point of view, the minimum connection between law, serving as the basis of state action, and justice, which can be assessed against Radbruch's formula, enables a normative evaluation of state and supranational omissions, but also provides the contours for corresponding (political) duties to act.
What is your opinion regarding these issues?
Some legal philosophical approaches to these questions can be found in my paper "Extreme Wrong Committed by National and Supranational Inactivity: Analyzing the Mediterranean Migrant Crisis and Climate Change from a Legal Philosophical Perspective", Göttingen 2021.
I want to start a research about cultural rights and the environment. It is related to my last work "Preventing and pursuing the destruction of Shiite holy sites according to the case of Bamiyan's Buddhas". I consider the aspects of the relation between cultural rights, eg. cultural sites, and the environment. How can we promote our protection of cultural sites against damage? What are the damages that threat cultural sites? Is there any action that the states should fulfil? What about native people? ...
it is said that the more we go toward maintaining security in our society, the less human rights can be realized. In the times of emergency, governments often suspend some of their Human Rights obligations in order to better respond to the crisis. Even there are derogation clauses in every Human Rights instrument. But how are we to treat this conflict? Should we give priority to one side or should we try the balancing approach? if the balancing approach is to be chosen, then how exactly are we going to balance two incommensurable values, Security and Human Rights?

In recent past there is growing recognition of the links between human rights and the environment. A human rights based approach to environmental protection includes the interpretation of environmental protection in the context of human rights. Using existing human rights mechanisms to tackle environmental harms will be helpful as human rights mechanism is well established in comparison to mechanism for environmental protection. Such approach also seeks to reinforce the capacities of duty bearers to respect, protect and guarantee of environmental human rights.
In looking at trauma can one define trauma as a human right issue? Is it okay to ascribe trauma as a situation which is been experienced by only the poor/low-income earners?
Responding to the Corona virus has the potential to affect human rights of millions of people. Censorship, discrimination, arbitrary detention and human rights violations must have no place in the fight against epidemics, Corona virus is no exception. Human rights violations instead of facilitating the fight against undermine the effectiveness of public health measures .
Nursing is a profession which deals with many aspects of people's lives. Nurses are often faced with ethical problems and experience many conflicts between their professional oath. The influence of conscience on nurses has frequently been described but its impact on their practice has received less attention. During their daily practice, they need to quickly decide on one of the several competing options. Conscience i directs individuals towards non-maleficence and veracity and helps people understand their duties for coping with life as a valuable component of nursing practice which demands sensitivity, respect for human rights, and attentive and dignified care delivery. How to increase work conscience in nursing?

Would like show me university that will conduct research about
Language, linguistic, ethnic of culture, women emancipation, human-right,& education research ? I need information about that , thanks
Often times there is a disconnect between theory and practice in the lives of peoples, including this paradox through which it can be understood that there are inherent human rights and have been approved by international charters and treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states in one of its articles the right to education, in exchange for the lived reality The use of this inherent right is far from being used, especially in light of brutal capitalism, whose main motive is profit.

After the abolition of the death penalty in some countries, did crime rate increase or decrease in those countries? Which better serves justice: the deterrent effect -if any- of the death penalty or the risk of executing a wrongfully convicted human being?
The concept of human rights, which has been developing for a very long time, and experienced its boom after the Second World War, has brought a lot of good to the world. However, we must ask ourselves whether human rights are increasingly becoming an instrument for achieving political goals, even when it means a violation of international law, and even the human rights themselves, especially due to the alleged protection of such rights of others. In particular, we can observe that calls for human rights are increasingly a means of imposing minority attitudes to the detriment of the majority, that the need to protect human rights is used to justify armed interventions in other countries; unlawful arrest, detention and, torture of terrorism suspects, etc. Where does all this lead?
The Tigris - Euphrates water conflict is frozen conflict between three riparians (Iraq, Syria and Turkey). The conflict came up because of upstream water projects by Turkey and therefore the restriction of water access to individuals of downstream failed states (Iraq and Syria). There are two principles are conflicting: Territorial sovereignty of Turkey and human right to water of individuals (This is issue of global justice and not international justice due to failed states). My question is: whom belongs water and how property (connected with territory) theory of Locke can be connected to the sovereignty principle of Turkey?
Thank you beforehand
During the COVID-19 pandemic, human rights violations including censorship, discrimination, arbitrary detention and xenophobia were reported from different parts of the world.
]n the case of software or virtual networks that are provided internationally and are almost exclusive and are usually supported by major world powers, it is necessary to accept a number of commitments before using them. These commitments are often intellectually and logically unconscionable, and although they do not appear to be fundamentally contrary to fundamental rights and in the context of international human rights declarations, charters and conventions, they are clearly contrary to the basic principles of human rights and human rights. The information contained in these networks is often misused based on the user's initial license. This is while we know that the public interest always takes precedence over the personal interest and this issue has been raised in different ways in different legal provisions?
Women owned businesses are highly increasing in the economies of almost all countries. The hidden entrepreneurial potentials of women have gradually been changing with the growing sensitivity to the role and economic status in the society, In Africa we cannot be that much positive while we still fighting for human rights and gender equality, thus the governors and society actors interact with these phenomena by launching a series of solutions to accompany women in the process of being an economic actor in societies.
Decolonial theory tends to avoid the language of human rights due to a concern about who is included in "the human" of human rights. But many struggles today start from the language of human rights, meaning that not engaging that language could be a missed opportunity for practice. I have started to theorize decolonial and human rights movements together, and I would be interested in learning from other perspectives on this question.
In a country where the regime is very repressive, journalists will be afraid to write news. What is your opinion?
Targeted chaos and misinformation are at the heart of extreme democratic outcomes as they are the active ingredients needed for them to come to exist, to persist, and to propagate. One example of extreme democratic outcome is USEXIT or Trumpism.
Targeted chaos and misinformation are mostly based on fake facts or an alternative facts, which raises the question “Are extreme democratic outcomes when in conflict and the rule of law in liberal democracies incompatible?
I think yes, what do you think? Why do you think so?
It promotes tolerance and understanding above and beyond our political, cultural and religious differences, putting special emphasis on the defence of human rights, the protection of ethnic minorities and the most vulnerable groups, and the conservation of the environment.
Under normal liberal democracy there is war between several views on how to advance the common good either at the expense of the minority(e.g. traditional liberal democratic parties) or at the least cost possible to the minority(e.g. traditional liberal conservative parties). ...War here simply means " a usually heated conflict between competing ideas....".
In normal liberal democracies, science plays a central role, and if science is not followed or it is partially followed or it is ignored completely and things go bad, the opposition party will use that rational in the next election and the incumbent party may spin the reality, but the buck stops there…and the people decide at election day….
Hence, liberal normal democracies of all sorts are incompatible with authoritarianism.
When we have an extreme liberal democracy such as USEXIT or Trumpism, the whole thing changes….extreme liberal democratic outcomes should be expected to align better with authoritarianism than with normal democratic thinkers,,,
I can see several reasons why that is the case, which leads to the question, Which are the central links between extreme liberal democracy and authoritarianism/dictatorships?. Can you see them? Or What do you think?
Please express your views on the question.
Over the last several decades, the increasing global attention to issues of human rights for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and other sexual minorities has focused on the intrinsic value of those rights from a social, cultural, and ethical perspective. Recognizing those rights represents a commitment to equality for a stigmatized group of people and to guaranteeing universal freedoms for those individuals. Enacting those rights to achieve equality means working to end discrimination and violence against LGBT people. The need for attention is clear: human rights agencies and scholars from around the world have documented violations of human rights, finding discrimination, family rejection, violence, imprisonment, and other forms of exclusion faced by LGBT people in every country studied.

Whereas the spread of coronavirus outbreak [Sars-CoV-2, December 2019-2020][1], developing into a global pandemic situation, the governments everywhere have declared a 'state of emergency' to stop the spread of the pandemic as much as possible. What are the human/legal rights that you have faced as being violated under this pretext by State? I mentioned also the 'legal' rights as if there are local constitutional lawful rights that are also violated by police enforcement or so.
How can this interference of the Public authorities with your right be regarded, justified, or on the contrary, denied and fought against?

Child participants in research have a measure of vulnerability that requires strict ethical measures to handle it. In the wake of human rights and awareness of various laws, will research on minors become more complex?
On the one hand, when there is a US spreading propaganda that brings so-called democracy, human rights and peace to the world,
on the other hand, the same state has a policy of using democracy as an excuse to intervene and occupy countries, disregarding human rights, and devoting enough budget to overarming the hungry people in the world many times. In addition, this so-called angel of goodness can be very good friends with anti-democratic regimes in the world. While he is supposed to value the right to life, he can convince people in his own country to die with an electric chair or poisonous needle. Furthermore, in this state, close to fifty million people are fed from soup houses and are homeless.
What do you think of this hypocritical state, which was introduced in the Academy books as the apostle of democracy and goodness?
How it will help and ensure the poor has access to justice as the equal gender with equal rights and respect in the society or he/she has been heard? In each society the availability of the people rights is conditional to their hearing and counting for their lawful rights thus the more we provide the poor the access to justice the more we ensure the deprived has been assured to have his/her rights.But it is least heard and the commons are almost denied to be heard and counted because of lack of communications with the policy makers and the implementer.Thus the nations and the societies need some easy mechanism to establish such a culture to ensure the majority the happiness and the sustainability and prosperity.

UN decides to proclaim 4 January as World Braille Day, to be observed each year beginning in 2019, in order to raise awareness of the importance of Braille as a means of communication in the full realization of the human rights for blind and partially sighted people.
Braille is a tactile representation of alphabetic and numerical symbols using six dots to represent each letter and number, and even musical, mathematical and scientific symbols. Braille (named after its inventor in 19th century France, Louis Braille) is used by blind and partially sighted people to read the same books and periodicals as those printed in a visual font. Braille is essential in the context of education, freedom of expression and opinion, as well as social inclusion.
How do we best classify ethical issues in AI and robotics?

Many possibilities - can you point me in the direction of any possible frameworks?
Dear Sirs
Currently, working on book chapters for PRME, I was on site-visits at about 700 building areas. What I recognized that neither any security nor human right rules are followed. None of this building companies is following the trade union contracts. How is this possible in Switzerland, you might ask? They are hiring their staff by temporary companies, which are not bound by these contracts. Each staff member is working by 40 degrees without any protection, water, etc. And if he just ask a question regarding these conditions, the next day, he is fired and replaced by a new (may be more decent worker). This is slavery in its newest form and I would be delighted someone of you or a interested scientist would like to work on that - perhaps discovering same aspects in his country so that a comparative study could bring light in this disruptive development.
Thank you for a short reply.

We found that many of our children without family works dawn to dusk for a little payment.In spite of having many labor laws child labor makes our national identity questionable with unsecured human rights.
The debate between the two notions is clearly undermined. Is there really a solution to this debate?
Just think about it from the sustainability point of view, who should be expected to benefit locally and internationally and why when a dominant extreme democratic outcome like 2016 USEXIT takes place?. The local minority or majority? International normal liberal democracies or dictatorial systems/democracies/regimes?. What do you think?
The UN Human Rights charter is a celebrated document. UN as an institution has done so much to help diffuse near war situations and post war reconciliation and healing. However, there is a feeling among the world community that the UN with some of the key allies have maintained a double standards and have significantly dented the primacy of rights over who and which powerful nation leads the motivation and its auxiliary infrastructure.
Neomodernism refers to a philosophical position based on modernism but addressing the critique of modernism by postmodernism. Postmodernism refers to a variety of artistic, cultural and philosophical movements that arose as a reaction against purists modernism. Postmodernism is marked by a recognition and acceptance of ethnic, sexual and cultural diversity, (or diverse artistic expressions) whereas modernism could only describe the alternate as the “other”. Various socio-cultural or political praxis and beliefs can ascribe to one of these philosophies. Neomodernism addressed the criticisms leveled at postmodern philosophy, namely that universalism and critical thinking are the two essential elements of human rights and that human rights create a superiority of some cultures over others. That is, that equality and relativism are "mutually contradictory". Neomodern architecture is a reaction to the complexity of postmodern architecture and eclecticism, seeking greater simplicity. Case in point, this project in video retains the basic plan form of vernacular Assam-type houses and elements, such as verandas, local materials, clerestory and windows for winter solar heat gain and summer ventilation, albeit in a simple neomodernist expression.

I need to find articles about study on human rights education in mid school or study on empowering teaching strategies for mid school.
In light of today's arrest in Italy of a German sea captain who had rescued migrant refugees in the Mediterranean does the law of the sea need to be clarified?
The 1979 International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue establishes a legal framework for signatories to co-ordinate rescue efforts. According to the International Maritime Organization, which helped put together the principles behind rescue at sea, its member states also have an obligation "to co-ordinate so that persons rescued at sea are disembarked in a place of safety as soon as possible".
However, there are a number of issues. One problem is over defining distress, according to Yves Pascouau, editor of the European Migration Law website. which offers advice on asylum and immigration law across the EU. "This is a question of interpretation," he says.The vessel was not in obvious mechanical difficulty as it approached Maltese and Italian waters and he adds: "They (Italy and Malta) did not consider the definition of distress had been met."
There are also issues over what constitutes a place of safety, and whether that means disembarking those rescued at sea on land. "There is no obligation on a state responsible for a specific search and rescue area, or responsible for co-ordinating a rescue effort, to receive the survivors on land," says Ainhoa Campas Velasco of the Institute of Maritime Law at University of Southampton. However, she points out that humanitarian considerations are meant to form part of search and rescue operations.
It is also worth remembering that under maritime regulations, states have the authority to allow or refuse permission for vessels to enter their territorial waters.
Do we need greater clarity and agreed legal obligations to save life at sea?
Is there any constraint toward the implementation of birth control? For example, due to the opinion that such policy may contradict the human right issues?
Look forward to hearing your opinion.
Thanks.
