International Attention and the Protection of Human Rights Defenders
Campaigning for Agents of Change
AvJanika Spannagel
E-bok
PDF, Engelska, 2023
679 kr
Läs direkt efter köp
This book uses a practice-driven and empirically founded approach to address the question of whether and how international attention can protect and enable domestic human rights activists in authoritarian settings. It examines the untold origin story of the â€˜human rights defenderâ€™ term and its uptake among international advocacy organizations, which coalesced with the rise of a theory of human rights change centered around the support for local actors.
Rich with analyses of original qualitative and quantitative data, the author spells out this theory of change and tests its assumptions in two case studies: the individual casework of the UN special procedures, and the case of Tunisia under Ben Ali.
This book is of key interest to scholars and students of human rights, of the United Nations, and more broadly of international relations and politics in general, and to practitioners working with human rights defenders at risk.

This book provides empirically grounded insights into the causes, trajectories, and effects of a severe decline in university autonomy and the relationship to other dimensions of academic freedom by comparing in-depth country studies and evidence from a new global timeseries dataset. Drawing attention to ongoing discussions on standards for monitoring and assessment of academic freedom at regional and international organizations, this book identifies a need for clearer standards on academic freedom and a human rights-based definition of university autonomy. Further, the book calls for accompanying international oversight and the inclusion of criteria related to academic freedom in international university rankings. Five expert-authored case studies on academic freedom from diverse nations (Bangladesh, Mozambique, India, Poland, and Turkey) are included in the volume.Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative evidence, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to the field and will be of great interest to scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of higher education, human rights, political science and public policy.This Open Access book is available at www.taylorfrancis.com, and has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Die empirische Bestandaufnahme der Menschenrechtslage ist ein methodisch anspruchsvolles Unterfangen von großer politischer Bedeutung. Die Fragen, wie es um die Menschenrechte in einem Land bestellt ist und inwiefern die jeweiligen Staaten die Menschenrechte umsetzen oder aber verletzen, bilden für gewöhnlich den Ausgangspunkt staatlicher wie nichtstaatlicher Bemühungen, die Menschenrechte besser zu schützen.Zugleich ist die methodisch reflektierte Erfassung der Menschenrechtslage auch sozialwissenschaftlich bedeutsam. Erst so lassen sich im zeitversetzten (diachronen) oder zeitgleichen (synchronen) Ländervergleich Entwicklungen und Unterschiede aufzeigen, die es zu erklären gilt. Warum hat sich beispielsweise die Menschenrechtslage in einem Land über die Zeit verbessert oder aber verschlechtert? Weshalb weisen einige Staaten ein besseres oder schlechteres Menschenrechtsprofil als andere Staaten auf? Gibt es Situationen, in denen die Menschenrechte besonders gefährdet sind, und gesellschaftliche Gruppen, die von Menschenrechtsverletzungen besonders betroffen sind? Solche Fragen lassen sich nicht beantworten, ohne die Menschenrechtslage empirisch zu erfassen.Es geht in diesem Heft also um quantitative Angaben zu Menschenrechten. Die jeweiligen Autorinnen und Autoren setzen sich mit menschenrechtsbezogenen oder -relevanten Daten, Indikatoren und Indizes auseinander, die für ihre Arbeitsbereiche wichtig sind. Dabei werden auch Probleme quantitativer Messungen von Menschenrechten benannt und deren Aussagekraft und Verwendung hinterfragt. So hoffen wir, der Debatte über "Menschenrechte in Zahlen" den einen oder anderen Impuls zu geben.
Rising to the Populist Challenge

This book collects and analyzes a repertoire of responses by human rights organizations to the crackdown against civil society in the populist context. Written by scholars and advocates in challenging political settings from around the world, this book offers ideas and inspiration to their peers in the human rights community who are grappling with and resisting the erosion of democracy and rights.This collection takes two steps towards clearing the path for this civil society transformation. First, it clarifies the specific challenges to human rights raised by contemporary populist regimes and movements. What is the populist playbook against human rights? Second, it contributes to documenting and learning from a wealth of initiatives by human rights actors. What innovations are human rights actors introducing into their strategies and narratives to counter those of populist regimes? In short, what is the human rights playbook against populism?From meticulous documentation of abuses in Turkey to more grassroots forms of social networking in Hungary, from peace caravans in India to finding new ways of being useful under 21st century dictatorships in Venezuela, like war correspondents reporting from the trenches, our authors step forward to share their own continuing struggles to help their communities.Based on evidence from populist governments in India, Venezuela, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, the United States, and Ecuador—as well as crackdowns against civil society in South Africa, Egypt and other countries—this volume provides hope, solidarity, and reinvigoration for the human rights movement.

What does justice mean in times of transition? What kinds of possibilities and dissapointments emerge from processes of seeking justice through transition? How might we understand these processes through narrative?In August 2015, a group of Global South human rights activists and researchers gathered in Colombia for a workshop organized around the theme of transitional justice. This book, the third in a series, is the result of the discussions performed in that encounter.The chapters in this volume illustrate many complexities of transitional justice processes from the perspective of young human rights advocates involved in these struggles, many with their own complicated personal connections to the search for justice. These advocates hail from countries that have divergent relationships with the notion of transitional justice, from places deeply embedded in its norms and processes, such as Argentina and Colombia, to countries undergoing various kinds of transitions on very different terms, such as Turkey and Mexico. All of the chapters, however, write the messiness of seeking justice through transitions, spanning from the personal and intimate to the national and global.Together, these chapters beautifully illustrate both the pain and the political possibilities that come from the inability to leave history in the past, as well as the creativity of individual and collective efforts to seek justice through transitions. They also demonstrate the beauty of speaking, working, and writing justice from the hear.

Una nueva guía para actores de derechos humanos. Este libro recopila y analiza un repertorio de respuestas de organizaciones de derechos humanos a la represión contra la sociedad civil en el contexto populista. Escrito por académicos y defensores que trabajan en entornos políticos desafiantes en todo el mundo, este libro ofrece ideas e inspiración para los activistas de derechos humanos que luchan y resisten la erosión de la democracia y los derechos.Esta colección busca facilitar la transformación de la sociedad civil de dos formas: En primer lugar, identifica los desafíos específicos que los regímenes y movimientos populistas contemporáneos crean para los derechos humanos. ¿Cuáles son las estrategias de los populistas contra los derechos humanos? En segundo lugar, contribuye a documentar y aprender de una variedad de iniciativas lideradas por diferentes defensores de derechos humanos. ¿Qué innovaciones están integrando los actores de derechos humanos en sus estrategias y narrativas para contrarrestar las de los regímenes populistas? En resumen, ¿cuál es el manual o las estrategias de derechos humanos contra el populismo?Desde una documentación detallada sobre abusos en Turquía a formas más populares de redes sociales en Hungría, desde caravanas de paz en la India hasta nuevas formas para tener impacto bajo las dictaduras del siglo XXI en Venezuela, como corresponsales de guerra informando desde las trincheras, nuestros autores comparten sus propias luchas continuas para ayudar a sus comunidades.Con base en la evidencia de gobiernos populistas en India, Venezuela, Hungría, Turquía, Rusia, Estados Unidos y Ecuador, así como enérgicas medidas contra la sociedad civil en Sudáfrica, Egipto y otros países, este volumen brinda esperanza, solidaridad y revitalización para el movimiento de derechos humanos.
