Fiala-Butora J: Implementing the Right
to Decide Under the Convention on the R

Implementing the Right to Decide Under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Supporting the Legal Capacity of All Persons with Disabilities

Das Buch untersucht jüngere Entwicklungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Recht auf freie Selbstidentifikation und deren Auswirkungen auf den persönlichen Anwendungsbereich des Rahmenübereinkommens zum Schutz nationaler Minderheiten. Denn obwohl sich die im Rahmen des KSZE-Prozesses gelegentlich geäußerten Erwartungen, durch die Neukonzeption des genannten Rechts einige der mit dem Fehlen einer allgemeingültigen Minderheitendefinition verbundenen Probleme abzumildern, in der nachfolgenden Zeit zunächst nicht realisiert zu haben schienen, verspricht eine erneute Befassung mit dieser Thematik, insbesondere unter Auswertung der reichhaltigen Vertragspraxis unter dem Rahmenübereinkommen sowie der sie begleitenden Rechtsprechung des EGMR, weitaus differenziertere Auslegungsergebnisse hervorzubringen als jene Ansätze, die den Vertragsstaaten in derartigen Fragen nahezu freie Beurteilungsspielräume zuschreiben. Es wird aufgezeigt, welchen inhärenten Einschränkungen derartige Spielräume aufgrund des Charakters der freien Selbstidentifikation als subjektives Recht tatsächlich unterliegen und wie sich der persönliche Anwendungsbereich des Rahmenübereinkommens nach Maßgabe der anerkannten Regeln zur Auslegung völkerrechtlicher Verträge bestimmen lässt. Angesichts der offenbar weiterhin bestehenden Unklarheiten im Umgang mit der freien Selbstidentifikation von Minderheitenangehörigen leistet die Arbeit hierdurch einen Beitrag zur konzeptionellen Durchdringung dieses Rechts.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

The contemporary significance of the subject “Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action” is indisputable. In periods of social polarization, conflict and crisis, it is imperative that the obligation of our societies to protect and promote social rights is addressed and acknowledged. It is also necessary to recognize the way in which social rights are jeopardized by inequalities that impede the cultivation of robust social relationships and to document instances of the implementation of affirmative actions in this scenario. The aims of this work are as follows: firstly, to establish general topics (part I); secondly, to undertake more specific investigations within the primary topic (part II); and thirdly, to address the challenges posed by the technological transition currently taking place in society, which has significant consequences for social rights, (in)equality, and affirmative action (part III). The study is organized into three sections corresponding to these targets. For the purposes of this study, the analysis will commence, in the Part I of this book, at the genesis of the debates, as outlined in the chapter concerning the old and the new forms of racism. This contribution is followed by a chapter on the growing recognition of intersectional discrimination in European and global human rights frameworks and by another on structural discrimination and the function of the law against unjust enrichment. To further explore and expand upon the subjects addressed in the preceding chapters, the final chapter of Part I of this book delves into the topic of affirmative action in the United States. The second part of this work is dedicated primarily to specific forms of affirmative action, thereby deepening the discussion initiated in the first part of this book. The initial topic examines the way in which the pandemic has impacted specific social groups and led to the emergence of health disparities in the UK. The subsequent chapter is devoted to an examination of the alterations in the benefits of minimum income support in Brazil in recent years. The fourth chapter undertakes a detailed investigation of a specific affirmative action program for children and adolescents with the objective of reducing violence in urban areas. The final chapter conducts an analysis of ageing, public policies and inclusion in Brazil. The third and final section is dedicated to an examination of the challenges faced by our technological societies. The field of “Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action” is set to be impacted by the regulation of artificial intelligence, the increasing digitalization of activities, and the development of new tools designed to enhance the efficiency of the social state. The initial chapter of the concluding section deals with the regulation of artificial intelligence in Brazil and the impacts of neurotechnology. The second study examines conservative digitalization and structural inequalities in Latin American information societies, while the final study focuses on the emergence of the social digital state and the use of instruments that produce inequality and discrimination.

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

This edited collection explores the question of how those with limited capacity are enabled to take their part as members of society within the context of both a legal framework and the expectations of their family and community. The book is divided into three parts, firstly looking at the current legal position on incapacity in a number of jurisdictions. It discusses the recent European project FLEUR, and the associated debates developing around whether legislation dealing with incapacity should aim to support or control the vulnerable person. Secondly, the book looks at the experience of families with vulnerable members. Chapters examine developments in Australia, Spain, Bulgaria and Argentina, while part three looks at France, Turkey, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine. It asks questions such as: What are the contemporary demands for full financial protection by the state in the Netherlands? What can happen in an emergency? How did the Polish system provide for the needs of refugees in wartime, in the case of the recent flight from Ukraine into Poland? An important dimension is added to the debate, asking how we can provide support and control within a social network or group whose members have different aims and needs in a family or a community.

Sovereignty, Sacrifice, and Survival in Pakistan’s Necropolitical Order: Death’s Dominion examines how sovereignty, sacrifice, and survival are experienced by individuals living under Pakistan’s militant and counter-militant regimes. Drawing on unstructured, in-depth interviews with sectarian militants and interrupted martyrdom operatives, it transforms first-person testimony into a critical analysis of necropolitics: the power to determine who may live, who must remain vulnerable, and who may be exposed to death. The book shows how selective protection, institutional failure, militant violence, and exceptional security practices can produce “death-worlds” governed through insecurity, abandonment, and differential exposure to violence.Combining phenomenological inquiry with post-structural theory, the study reveals how state and non-state actors participate in overlapping moral and political economies of death, in which martyrdom, refusal, betrayal, and survival acquire political and sacred meanings. It advances the Pakistan-specific NEC Framework—National, Ethnosectarian, and Counterterror Necropolitics—to explain how competing forms of sovereignty intersect in shaping the national order. In dialogue with Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Achille Mbembe, and Judith Butler, the book also develops counter-necropolitics as a life-affirming project grounded in justice, accountability, rehabilitation, recognition, reparation, and counter-narratives.Munir Ahmad Zia Rao isDeputy Inspector General of Police, Punjab, Pakistan. He has a PhD in Terrorism Studies from the University of the Punjab.

Law, Governance and Technology Series

This book unveils Australia's paradoxical history as a human rights advocate and violator. With three decades of experience, the author delves into Australia's lapses, notably in arbitrary detention and Indigenous rights. Through insightful case studies, the book exposes discrepancies between Australia's commitments and actions, echoing UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's call for implementation: “We must move from an era of legislation to an era of implementation”.
Drawing from extensive legal expertise, the author not only highlights Australia's shortcomings but also proposes a groundbreaking global strategy to tackle international human rights challenges. With a focus on moving from rhetoric to action, the book provides specific recommendations for holding Australia accountable to its human rights obligations. A critical exploration of Australia's journey toward human rights accountability unfolds, urging readers to contemplate the challenges and prospects for change.

International Law in Asia

This book examines the legal frameworks governing online safety in the Asia-Pacific, a region marked by diverse legal systems, rapid digital transformation, and varying levels of regulatory intervention. As cyber threats—including online harassment, misinformation, child exploitation, deepfake technology, cyberstalking, and personal data breaches—continue to escalate, governments across the region are busy strengthening their legal responses. While legal responses are ongoing, there is a scarcity of scholarly materials to analyse these responses from doctrinal and comparative legal perspectives.By drawing on case law, legislative texts, policy reports, and interviews with legal experts, the book provides a multidisciplinary analysis of how governments in the Asia-Pacific will approach online safety regulation in the coming years. It also incorporates comparative legal tables, case law summaries, enforcement case studies, and graphical representations of regulatory models to enhance accessibility and practical relevance for readers.As digital governance becomes increasingly complex, online safety laws in the Asia-Pacific will continue to evolve in response to emerging cyber threats and technological advancements. This book contributes to the ongoing academic and policy discourse by providing a systematic, forward-looking examination of the region’s legal frameworks. Through rigorous legal analysis and policy evaluation, the book offers crucial insights for shaping more effective, harmonised, and human rights-compliant online safety regulations in the Asia-Pacific.

A Comparative Legal Analysis of Common Law Jurisdictions

Online Safety Laws in the Asia-Pacific

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

European Perspectives on the Procedural Review of Parliamentary Lawmaking

This book explores human vulnerability through the lens of natural law theory. Beginning with a detailed examination of natural law ethics, centred upon the virtues (Part One), it sets out the relationship between natural law and human vulnerability. To be human is to be vulnerable; but vulnerability must itself be understood by reference to the human goods that are the central concern of natural law ethics. Such goods lie at the heart of what it means to lead a flourishing life, but they are in no way certain: goods such as health, education, the family can all be perverted or taken away by human agency or the vicissitudes of life. Part Two poses the problem of how human beings and government can build resilience in the face of these vulnerabilities. Its main contention is that the central aims of vulnerability theory, including that of state responsiveness, are pre-figured in the social teachings of the Catholic Church. These teachings provide a compelling basis for the demand that the state be more responsive to social scourges such as poverty, crime, debt and dependency. Vulnerability theorists will benefit from a new perspective on the problems that are central to their analysis; natural law theorists will profit by an enrichment and extension of their central concerns.

American Studies Now: Critical Histories of the Present

How policing has fundamentally shaped the Latinx experience.The history of Latinx groups in the United States has been marked, from the beginning, by experiences of criminalization and violence at the hands of law enforcement. Marisol LeBrón argues that policing has left an indelible mark on Latinx communities across the country and has come to shape our understanding of what it means to be Latinx. Spanning the nineteenth century to the present, Policed examines how policing became a key component in the formation of Latinx identity and political consciousness, and still lies at the heart of many pressing issues confronting Latinx communities today, including immigration, employment, health, and housing. More than simply telling a story of police brutality and harassment, LeBrón powerfully shows that Latinx people have continually resisted state violence and worked to build a more liberated future.
