The Right to a Human Minimum

H. Odera Oruka on Bridging the Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt;"&gt;Chapter 1. Oruka's Concept Of The Right To A Human Minimum.- Chapter 2.

This innovative deeply researched book, critically examines the failures of international law in addressing severe human rights violations, particularly enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions. This book argues that international law in a variety of areas, is ineffective and in need of reform. Through the lens of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions in international law, the book explores the weaknesses of the state-centric human rights system, emphasizing that states-often the primary violators-are responsible for ensuring compliance and enforcement. The book first examines the recent scourge of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions in a number of states, particularly those that have occurred transnationally. Through a detailed analysis of comparative state practice, including rising rates of transnational repression, the book highlights systemic deficiencies and later proposes various reforms to strengthen global human rights protection. The book advocates for an integrated approach, merging international humanitarian law, human rights law, and international criminal law to enhance enforcement and accountability. The book reviews why using an integrated approach to tackling violations will result in far better protections, arguing that abandoning a silo approach to international law and applying international human rights law and international humanitarian law together, especially in the context of international criminal law, will yield far better results. How greater integration can be achieved in theory, is examined. Also reviewed, are how international bodies that work on arbitrary detentions and enforced disappearances, do so in practice. The key challenge that is taken up is how international law can be improved to ensure that the worst violators can be made to comply with international law. For that reason, a series of recommendations are made in the conclusion about what can be done to remedy the deficiencies noted throughout the book. The book argues that much needs to be done to reform international law as well as the processes and mechanisms that provide oversight and accountability.

Remedying International Law and Institutions

Enforced Disappearance and Arbitrary Detention

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

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.

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Refutes contemporary stereotypes about Mexico by sharing first-hand experiences from men who support the feminist movement in their country.The Mexican Feminist Movement responds to the Trumpian generalization that branded Mexican men as rapists, drug dealers, killers, and "bad hombres." Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways--they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women's rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters, and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men's challenges to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work, and in the public sphere.

This volume provides a comprehensive legal examination of BIMSTEC’s evolving institutional framework, critically analyzing its role in fostering regional cooperation and partnership in alignment with SDG17. The book explores how legal frameworks can serve as mechanisms for strengthening regional integration, enhancing policy coherence, and promoting multi-stakeholder partnerships across BIMSTEC member states. By engaging with legal scholarship and comparative regional models, it evaluates how BIMSTEC can facilitate cross-border trade, investment, and regulatory harmonisation to create a more interconnected and resilient economic bloc. The chapters collectively address the legal dimensions of SDG 17 by examining BIMSTEC’s potential in fostering public-private partnerships, improving regional governance structures, and establishing inclusive legal frameworks for sustainable development. Key themes include legal mechanisms for trade and investment integration, transnational crime cooperation, refugee governance, environmental stewardship, etc. The volume further delves into sector-specific legal reforms that can enhance institutional collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the BIMSTEC framework, drawing lessons from other regional organizations such as ASEAN and the EU.
With contributions from leading legal scholars, policymakers, and jurists, this book is an essential resource for those engaged in international law, regional governance, and sustainable development. By centering its analysis on SDG 17, it offers actionable legal insights into how BIMSTEC can strengthen institutional partnerships, advance collective decision-making, and reinforce the legal infrastructure necessary for achieving long-term regional cooperation.

Legal Reforms in BIMSTEC Member-States

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Employment Relation

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 offers an alternate trajectory for EU copyright law. Building on cultural norms in creative communities to reuse, recreate and share, the book proposes a more holistic approach to reconcile conflicting copyright interests. Drawing upon Niklas Luhmann's system theory, John Dewey's theory of art and feminist data theory, it advocates access to, and care within, creative communicative spaces, such as social media platforms or artificial intelligence (AI) data infrastructures, to safeguard creativity and cultural production online. Following a comprehensive assessment of current EU copyright law and related regulation, it proposes a rebuttable presumption of artistic communication to account for the nature of communication between authors, users and the public that safeguards creative reuse. The book isolates the question of remuneration, particularly in AI context, as one of collective socio-cultural value to address wider harms through a cultural commons existing on the border of the EU copyright system. Reflecting on traditional copyright concepts such as authorship, consent and remuneration alongside more novel legal structures like a right of collective informational self-determination, Reshaping EU Copyright Law to Support Creativity Online provides a foundation to reshape how the EU copyright system and its regulatory neighbours adequately respond to new forms of creativity, dissemination, and its use.
