The UN undertakes numerous human rights activities. Various UN entities have been established solely to promote and protect human rights, such as the Human Rights Council and the human rights treaty bodies. Others, such as the Security Council, have mandates intrinsically connected to human rights. Furthermore, a variety of UN specialized agencies, programmes and funds work in areas associated with human rights. However, the work these entities undertake lacks coordination. In his 2020 Call to Action, UN Secretary-General António Guterres spoke of the need to enhance ‘synergies between human rights and all pillars of the work of the United Nations’ and encouraged the use of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process as a way of doing so. Furthermore, one of the ‘principles’ of UPR is that it should ‘complement and not duplicate other human rights mechanisms’. There has been little exploration of the extent to which UPR does, in fact, complement the UN’s other work in human rights. This article seeks to fill that gap. Drawing on data from the first three cycles of UPR, it demonstrates the extent to which states have complemented UN efforts to protect and promote human rights in UPR recommendations. Building on these empirical observations, it explores how UPR recommendations could be used to further coordinate and reinforce the UN’s human rights work by avoiding generic references to the UN, expanding their focus beyond the ‘core’ UN human rights bodies to engage with the work of all UN entities, and encouraging engagement with all aspects of a particular entity’s mandate.

There is a tension in the policy and practice of refugee presence in and around the offices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The core principle of direct accessibility to UNHCR is continuously balanced against other competing concerns. But what, in policy and practice, are these competing concerns? And at what point does the presence of refugees and other protection seekers become illegitimate from the perspective of UNHCR? Building on original empirical research, this article explores collective action by Sudanese protection seekers at UNHCR’s office in Beirut, Lebanon. It shows how the spatial practices of UNHCR influence its relationship with protection seekers, and how these relations intersect with broader dynamics of securitization. In Beirut, once a presence was considered to ‘disturb the work of the Office’, a more restrictive policy involving host state security was triggered. The article interrogates what it means to ‘disturb the work of the Office’ in the context of a heavily securitized city and spotlights the blocking of UNHCR entrance doors in Beirut as a pivotal example of when collective action is considered by UNHCR to be so disturbing that protection seekers are to be forcibly removed from UNHCR ‘territory’.

Indigenous peoples have been struggling worldwide to have their rights recognized. Despite relevant legal advances, such as the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), the implementation gap between the adoption of international standards by States and their compliance still remains. This article relies on empirical examples from Interactive Dialogues (ID) with the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (SRIP) and the Expert Mechanism on the Right of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP), held between 2011 and 2021 in the Human Rights Council sessions, to exemplify how these struggles also become noticeable in the public and global arenas. It highlights the emblematic case of conflicting narratives between Indigenous peoples and the Brazilian State in 2020, when the latter strategically used ‘misunderstandings’ to delegitimize Indigenous peoples’ claims. It concludes that the underlying challenge in the implementation of Indigenous peoples’ rights rests in ontological conflicts between States and Indigenous peoples, especially concerning the meaning of self-determination. These struggles are reflected in the disputing of narratives in the UN human rights arenas, and have been shaping interpretations of Indigenous peoples’ rights that privilege a perspective antagonistic to them. The article provides some practice-oriented recommendations for reducing discourse manipulation at the HRC.

This review essay evaluates three new books on international justice, focusing in particular on cooperation and backlash against the International Criminal Court: Africa and the Backlash Against International Courts by Peter Brett and Line Engbo Gissel, Saving the International Justice Regime by Courtney Hillebrecht, and State Behavior and the International Criminal Court by Franziska Boehme. It provides an overview of the books and explores how each work analyses African state responses to the ICC investigation in Darfur, then assesses the implications of the books for understanding contemporary debates about international justice.

In 2006 the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) produced rules of engagement in hostilities for members of its armed wing, the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces, which reference Islamic law and are also compliant with international humanitarian law (IHL). The release of these rules came following engagement with the MILF by both national and international humanitarian organizations. This article examines the role of Islamic scholars in the MILF and how they contributed to the development of the rules of engagement and the dissemination of humanitarian principles and IHL to its fighters. It also examines the support that humanitarian organizations provided to MILF’s Islamic scholars in their work on IHL. The findings show that MILF’s religious scholars played a major role in promoting IHL to the group’s armed wing through a framing of IHL from an Islamic perspective. A major motivation for the MILF to engage its Islamic scholars on IHL was the desire for international legitimacy as it was involved in a peace process with the government of the Philippines.

Ethics in biomedical research in mental health plays a central role. Historically the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice have been violated in individuals with mental disorders. This article aims to analyse the perceptions of individuals involved in research ethics advocacy in Aranzazu-Colombia, from the Declaration of the Town Square to current research practices and community empowerment initiatives. For this, a qualitative study was conducted in the municipality of Aranzazu as part of a Community-Based Rehabilitation strategy in Mental Health. Two focus groups were conducted with a total of 30 participants, including community representatives, institutional members, and healthcare personnel. The themes that emerged were ‘The urgency of speaking as one’, ‘Our research questions’ and ‘Human rights for recovery’. The process of adoption of community protection measures that guided the investigative processes with the town of Aranzazu is presented. A discussion is raised around the instrumentalization of people in the investigation and the claim of human rights by communities, as a mechanism to strengthen community recovery actions. It is concluded that mental health research should help to affirm dignity, reduce stigma, improve access to psychosocial recovery and achieve real participation in building the well-being of communities.

Environmental legislation in South Africa does not explicitly require that the executive branch consider climate change in environmental decision-making. Yet, in a handful of climate cases, the executive has been found to have acted unlawfully (and thus unconstitutionally) by failing to do so. We argue that the case law has implicitly introduced a ‘duty’ to consider climate change mitigation and adaptation issues. The precedent set entails that in order to act lawfully as required by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, decision-makers must take climate change into account in various contexts. This article describes the role of the judiciary within South Africa’s transformative constitutional regime, and the interpretive approach they are mandated to adopt. The interpretive approach is a feature of South Africa’s normative conceptualization of the separation of powers. We then describe how, in the exercise of this role, the ‘duty’ to consider climate change has emerged and evolved through three instances of climate litigation in the High Courts, and one before the Water Tribunal. We conclude that the power of judiciary in South Africa to respond to the myriad human rights and justice implications of the climate crisis derives not only from constitutionally entrenched human rights. Equally important are the mechanisms within the broader transformative architecture of the constitutional order. By making this modest point, we hope to deepen the understanding of the utility of human rights in climate litigation in the Global South.

While there has been some climate litigations in Indonesia, a rights-based climate case has yet to emerge. On the other hand, several rights-based environmental cases have seen the light of day before the Indonesian courts, although with more failures than successes. This note explores the prospects and challenges for future rights-based climate litigation in Indonesia by reflecting on previous climate and rights-based environmental cases. At the same time, with reference to Urgenda, this note recognizes a growing global discourse on transnational climate litigation, unveiling the possibility of replicating successful climate litigation strategies from one jurisdiction to another. This note inquires into what potential plaintiffs can learn from Urgenda and previous Indonesian climate and rights-based environmental litigation to strategize future rights-based climate lawsuits before Indonesian courts.
