Outsourced justice: The case of the facebook oversight board

In this article, we explore the possibilities for the self-regulation of online platforms, here by using Facebook’s Oversight Board (OB) as an example. First, we analyse and systematize how the OB fits in the mosaic of internet regulation. Our analysis shows that the OB has tried to lay the foundation for global self-regulation, but because of its limited jurisdiction and indicative nature, it falls short of becoming a real ‘supreme court’ of Facebook. In addition, although the OB is a positive attempt to deal with many problems, it does not seem to be able to process enough cases, relies on idiosyncratic standards instead of general rules and principles and has problems deciding which human rights principles it should follow. Additionally, the OB is not compatible with the Digital Services Act (DSA) of the European Union or with the recent initiatives for social media councils.

Portada de Legal Mobilization for Human Rights
Legal Mobilization for Human Rights

The chapters in this book discuss some of the causes, modalities, choices, and consequences of legal mobilization for human rights, including which groups claim rights, what rights they mobilize to protect, the goals they pursue, the forums they use, the obstacles they encounter, and to what degree and in what ways they are successful. The chapters include case studies of LGBTQ+ activism in authoritarian political systems, women’s engagement with the UN Security Council, the differing strategies of major NGOs as regards human rights approaches to climate change, the work of Indigenous communities resisting extractivism, and the legal empowerment of communities in a range of locations and contexts. Key themes emerging from the chapters include: the importance of the idea of human rights to communities that are dominated or marginalized; the ways in which political and societal authoritarianism shape and limit (but do not necessarily exclude) opportunities for effective mobilization; the importance of the choice of forum for seeking to bring about change; the role intermediary actors such as leading NGOs can play in innovating and reorienting strategies to address pressing challenges; the possibilities for subaltern mobilization to reshape human rights law and transform international legal understandings and concepts; and the importance of supporting genuinely community-led legal mobilization.

Prohibition of massive and serious pollution of marine environment as a jus cogens. Identification, legal bases and consequences in view of the recent work of the International Law Commission

Taking into account the progressive development of international law in recent decades relating to the protection of environment it is remarkable that until recently international courts and tribunals took a rather restrictive approach concerning reference to the hierarchy of norms. This is in stark contrast to international human rights law as some of its key rules have already been identified as jus cogens. Thus, drawing from these developments there is a need for recommencing the debate concerning the existence of peremptory norms relating to the protection of the environment. At the normative level allocating the jus cogens logic to this area can certainly bring the needed structure of community interest, instead of the reciprocal paradigm and consequently influence more strongly future normative development of this branch of law. The article evaluates whether specific obligations to protect the marine environment can be considered as a peremptory norm of general international law. The current work of the International Law Commission and discussion on its reports in the United Nations General Assembly Sixth Committee are used as tools for appraisal of the state of the law in this respect. It is undeniable, that obligations to protect the marine environment reflect fundamental values of the international community, which are universally applicable. As a result, the normative weights of these obligations clearly advocates for the recognition of peremptory norm status of particular prohibitive rules concerning protection of the marine environment.
