The procedural law governing facts and evidence in International human rights proceedings: Developing a contextualized approach to address recurring problems in the context of facts and evidence

This book provides a comparative assessment of the procedural law governing facts and evidence with references to over 900 judgments and decisions of the European and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights as well as the UN Human Rights Committee. Based on the premise of a contextualized procedural law, the book analyzes where current approaches lack a foundation in the contextualization premise and offers solutions for recurring procedural problems in connection with facts and evidence.

The international judge: An introduction to the men and women who decide the world’s cases

Este documento contiene extractos de la Introducción y el Capítulo 4 del próximo libro: Terris, D./Romano, C./Swigart, L., The International Judge: An Introduction to the Men and Women who Decide the World's Cases, University Press of New England - Oxford University Press, 2007 (de próxima aparición).

Los jueces internacionales han resuelto disputas fronterizas, han puesto a los líderes políticos tras las rejas por el delito de genocidio, han protegido a ciudadanos individuales de violaciones de derechos humanos por parte de sus propios gobiernos y han dictaminado sobre disputas comerciales que involucran miles de millones de dólares. The International Judge: An Introduction to the Men and Women Who Decide the World's Cases, es el primer examen en profundidad de las personas que escuchan y deciden casos en una gama cada vez más amplia de cortes y tribunales internacionales que operan en el mundo de hoy.

Del miedo a la acción. Aliviar el hacinamiento carcelario: Salvavidas en tiempos de Covid

La declaración global de la pandemia de la covid-19 a inicios de marzo agravó lacrisis carcelaria que se vivía en las Américas desde hace décadas. De reformas necesarias, se pasó al punto crítico de exigir reformas urgentes para facilitar la descongestión y garantizar el derecho a la salud y a la vida de las personas privadas de la libertad. De esta manera, la covid-19 ha puesto al límite los sistemas penitenciarios, ya que desde el primer momento en que el virus entra a los centros de reclusión se puede esperar, bajo las condiciones actuales, que (i) la gran mayoría de la población probablemente resulte contagiada, (ii) que las personas privadas de la libertad con condiciones subyacentes de salud mueran a una tasa más alta que sus pares por fuera de la prisión y, por lo tanto, (iii) se podría hablar de una catástrofe humanitaria en las cárceles.

Prickles and goo: Human rights and spirituality

Although there appears to be a growing interest in exploring the crossroads between spirituality and social change, spirituality remains a relatively obscure topic within mainstream international human rights. This article will explore what a more spiritual grounding for human rights might look like and how it might change perspectives and practices from the comparatively conventional and mainstream. Viewing conventional human rights thinking, policy, and practice through the lens of spirituality can facilitate a better and more balanced reading of the human rights corpus and, ultimately, better and more sustainable human rights practice. Although no panacea, spiritual perspectives that enhance a sense of interconnectedness and inclusionary identity may be one way of reinvigorating the human rights project at a time when it is said to be in a state of crisis.

Prevention of pesticide suicides and the right to life: The intersection of human rights and public health priorities

Suicide by pesticide ingestion is one of the three most common global means of suicide, causing over 150,000 deaths each year. The majority occur in rural agricultural communities, where pesticides are readily available to small-scale farmers and their families in poor under-resourced households. In addition to enormous individual, communal and societal suffering, as well as public health, economic, and developmental harm, human exposure to pesticides leads to serious human rights violations. This article focuses on the right to life, as the main right impacted by pesticide suicides while touching upon other human rights implications of pesticide self-harm. Our analysis shows that, by failing to restrict access to highly hazardous pesticides, states violate their obligations under inter- national human rights law. States, businesses and civil society need to apply the human rights-based approach to preventing pesticide suicides and to develop a comprehensive plan to phase out or ban the most harm- ful pesticides.
