Building on an independent database of 180,000 UN recommendations and a novel computational method, we present the most comprehensive study of human rights (HR) debates to date. We develop a unique empirical model that measures topical density of discourse. This innovative instrument measures the discursive activity of UN HR bodies through a machine-learning textual analysis of their outputs, offering a dynamic map of evolving trends in human rights, both over time (diachronically) and across different mechanisms (synchronically) within the UN HR ecosystem. Leveraging this comprehensive dataset and sophisticated computational methodologies, we identify which protected groups are central to different mechanisms’ attention and highlight the major human rights issues that have witnessed significant changes in attention. Our research presents significant findings on the density of UN HR discourse and its implications for two major debates in the field of HR law—HR proliferation and the structural critique of UN HR bodies.
基于 180,000 份联合国建议的独立数据库和一种新颖的计算方法,我们提出了迄今为止最全面的人权(HR)辩论研究。我们开发了一个独特的实证模型,用于衡量话语的主题密度。这一创新工具通过对联合国人权机构的产出进行机器学习文本分析来衡量这些机构的话语活动,提供了联合国人权生态系统中人权趋势随时间(非同步)和不同机制(同步)演变的动态地图。利用这一全面的数据集和复杂的计算方法,我们确定了哪些受保护群体是不同机制关注的核心,并突出强调了关注度发生重大变化的主要人权问题。我们的研究揭示了联合国人权讨论的密度及其对人权法领域两大争论--人权扩散和联合国人权机构的结构性批判--的影响。

This article explores the scope of the positive obligation deriving from the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to criminalise forms of domestic psychological violence. This is primarily done by examining the implications of Volodina v Russia (No. 1), Volodina v Russia (No. 2) and Tunikova and Others v Russia regarding the obligation in question. Additionally, this article addresses different legislative approaches towards the criminalisation of domestic violence that have been distinguished by the ECtHR and discusses whether they adequately criminalise domestic psychological violence. Some approaches appear ill-suited as they concern national offences that focus on serious incidents. Domestic psychological violence, on the other hand, can involve a course of conduct consisting of seemingly minor incidents. It is concluded that State Parties should review to what extent such forms of psychological violence are criminalised under their national criminal laws.
本文探讨了欧洲人权法院(ECtHR)判例法中规定的积极义务的范围,即对各种形式的家庭心理暴力进行刑事定罪。这主要是通过研究Volodina诉俄罗斯案(第1号)、Volodina诉俄罗斯案(第2号)和Tunikova等人诉俄罗斯案对该义务的影响来实现的。此外,本文还讨论了欧洲人权法院对家庭暴力刑事定罪所采用的不同立法方法,并讨论了这些方法是否充分地将家庭心理暴力刑事定罪。有些方法似乎并不适合,因为它们涉及的是以严重事件为重点的国家罪行。另一方面,家庭心理暴力可能涉及由看似轻微事件组成的行为过程。结论是,缔约国应审查本国刑法在多大程度上将此类形式的心理暴力定为刑事犯罪。

Glorification of Terrorist Violence at the European Court of Human Rights 欧洲人权法院美化恐怖主义暴力案

This article examines the European Court of Human Rights’ approach towards restrictions on expression glorifying terrorist violence. This is done by situating the Court’s case law against two objections to respective criminal offences: their inherent overbreadth and their incompatibility with the restraining demands of the ‘harm principle’. In doing so, the article discusses how the ‘harm principle’ relates to the proportionality test and how the Court’s categorisation of expression glorifying violence responds to the objection of overbreadth. In arguing that the tool of categorisation has not been determinative in driving the outcomes in relevant decisions, the article suggests that engaging the existence of a competing public interest and reviewing the admissibility of reasons for such restrictions would appropriately elevate the Convention standard. Finally, the article argues that inconsistencies across decisions are best explained by the Court’s deference-giving practices, particularly in cases involving claims about the recency of terrorist violence.
本文探讨了欧洲人权法院对美化恐怖主义暴力的言论所采取的限制措施。为此,文章将欧洲人权法院的判例法与对相关刑事犯罪的两种反对意见进行对比:其固有的过度宽泛性以及与 "危害原则 "的限制要求不符。在此过程中,文章讨论了 "伤害原则 "与相称性检验的关系,以及法院对美化暴力的言论的分类如何回应了过度宽泛的反对意见。文章认为,分类工具在推动相关判决的结果方面并不具有决定性作用,同时建议,考虑是否存在竞争性公共利益并审查此类限制的理由是否可接受,将适当提高《公约》标准。最后,文章认为,法院给予尊重的做法,尤其是在涉及对恐怖主义暴力事件的发生时间的主张的案件中,最能解释各裁决之间的不一致。

Who Manages Menstrual Health? The Untapped Potential of the Right to Health to Support a Comprehensive Right to Menstrual Health beyond Menstrual Hygiene Management 谁来管理月经健康?健康权在支持经期卫生管理之外的全面经期健康权方面尚未开发的潜力

For the 1.8 billion people who menstruate every month globally, menstruation is not always just synonymous with blood loss. As such, many also experience premenstrual conditions such as dysmenorrhea (period pain), limited access to health care and/or menstrual stigma. Yet, so far, laws have mostly focused on menstrual hygiene management (MHM), particularly menstrual products provision. Despite MHM’s success, scholars have criticized its narrow focus on products at the expense of a more comprehensive definition of menstrual health, which recognises the menstrual cycle, and includes menarche and menopause. Meanwhile, global institutions have been shifting their focus from menstrual hygiene to menstrual health, and have framed the latter as a health and human rights issue. However, so far, the Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights and the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health have mostly remained silent on the topic of menstrual health. The article argues that these mechanisms should conceptualize a right to menstrual health, which promotes menstruators’ rights to health literacy, agency, participation, culture and increased scrutiny of the menstrual products industry.
对于全球每月来月经的 18 亿人来说,月经并不总是只是失血的代名词。因此,许多人还会经历痛经(经期疼痛)等经前病症、获得医疗保健的机会有限和/或经期污名化。然而,迄今为止,法律大多侧重于经期卫生管理(MHM),特别是经期用品的提供。尽管 MHM 取得了成功,但学者们批评其狭隘地关注产品,而忽视了对月经健康更全面的定义,即承认月经周期,包括初潮和更年期。与此同时,全球机构已将重点从月经期卫生转向月经期健康,并将后者视为一个健康和人权问题。然而,迄今为止,经济、社会和文化权利委员会以及健康权问题特别报告员对月经健康问题大多保持沉默。文章认为,这些机制应将月经期健康权概念化,促进月经期使用者的健康知识权、代理权、参与权、文化权,并加强对月经期产品行业的审查。

Solidarity as Foundation for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights 团结是经济、社会和文化权利的基础

The potential of the principle of solidarity as an interpretative guide for the realisation of ESCR has, to date, been largely overlooked. Solidarity mediates between the individual and the community, and it has a collective dimension in relation to both burden- and benefitsharing. The recognition of ESCR creates not only positive legal obligations on the state but also civic responsibilities on individuals to contribute, within their means, to the progressive realisation of ESCR. While the state is ultimately accountable for making progress on ESCR, taking these rights seriously will have implications for individual rights and responsibilities. We argue in this article that the principle of solidarity within society underpins ESCR as a whole and is essential for achieving sustainable progress on ESCR. This is because their progressive realisation requires not only that states' legal obligations are fulfilled but also that individual and collective contributions are made for the common good.
迄今为止,团结原则作为实现经社文权利的解释性指导的潜力在很大程度上被忽视 了。团结在个人与社会之间起着中介作用,在负担和利益分享方面具有集体性。对经济、社会和文化权利的承认不仅为国家规定了积极的法律义务,也为个人规定了在其能力范围内为逐步实现经济、社会和文化权利做出贡献的公民责任。虽然国家最终要对在经社文权利方面取得的进展负责,但认真对待这些权利也会对个 人的权利和责任产生影响。我们在本文中认为,社会团结的原则是整个经社文权利的基础,也是在经社文权利方 面取得可持续进展的关键。这是因为,要逐步实现这些权利,不仅需要国家履行法律义务,还需要个人和集体为共同利益做出贡献。

This article problematises the current understanding of sex and gender in international human rights law, especially as it manifests itself in its treatment of the ‘women’ category. The problematic nature of the current state of international human rights law in this regard came recently to light in two cases: the majority judgment in the Y v France case of the European Court for Human Rights and the dissenting opinions in the Vicky Hernández case of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Arguments and statements emerging from these two authoritative recent sources coming from two arguably progressive jurisdictions exemplify continuing inadequacies of the dominant approach. Through a critical engagement with these arguments, supplemented by the discussion of the broader framework of international human rights law, the article not only points out the precise nature of the existing shortcomings but also formulates strategies for overcoming them.
本文对当前国际人权法中对性和性别的理解,尤其是对 "妇女 "类别的理解提出了质疑。国际人权法在这方面的现状问题最近在两个案件中暴露出来:欧洲人权法院 Y 诉法国案的多数判决和美洲人权法院 Vicky Hernández 案的反对意见。来自这两个可以说是进步的司法管辖区的这两个权威性的最新资料来源中出现的论点和声明体现了主流方法的持续不足。通过对这些论点的批判性讨论,并辅之以对更广泛的国际人权法框架的讨论,文章不仅指出了现有缺陷的确切性质,还制定了克服这些缺陷的战略。

This article reconstructs a Received View of the right to marry in the European Convention on Human Rights and provides its philosophical interpretation. According to the Received View, the right to marry is a right to a legal institution of marriage. Recent case law from the European Court of Human Rights is analysed, with a focus on the protection and recognition of personal relationships under the law. According to the Fedotova case, the rights pertaining to the protection of conjugal relationships stem from the right to family life. The problem of non-distinctiveness of the right to marry is being discussed. If substantial rights protecting conjugal couples stem from the right to family life, then the right to marry does not offer any additional protection for the couple. The Received View addresses this issue. However, it is politically and morally unjust.
本文重构了《欧洲人权公约》中关于婚姻权的 "公认观点",并对其进行了哲学阐释。根据 "公认观点",结婚权是一种享有婚姻法律制度的权利。对欧洲人权法院最近的判例法进行了分析,重点是法律对个人关系的保护和承认。根据 Fedotova 案,与保护夫妻关系有关的权利源自家庭生活权。目前正在讨论婚姻权的非区别性问题。如果保护夫妻关系的实质性权利源于家庭生活权,那么结婚权就不能为夫妻提供任何额外的保护。所接受的观点解决了这一问题。然而,这在政治上和道德上都是不公正的。

What’s in a Right? Concretizing States’ Climate Change Mitigation Obligations under Human Rights Law 什么是权利?将人权法规定的国家减缓气候变化的义务具体化

States owe duties under human rights law to protect individuals from climate harm by mitigating climate change individually and collectively, in order to secure the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal. It is, however, unclear what human rights law requires of states generally in terms of emissions reduction trajectories. This article elucidates that question, by looking at what reduction obligations can be deduced from scholarship and the work of human rights enforcement mandates. It argues that it is not possible to deduce individualized reduction obligations or methods to calculate such obligations from the current body of human rights law. The article then explores three different pathways to achieve such concretization: law-making, litigation, and monitoring bodies. The analysis provides a platform for human rights law to realize its potential in advancing state ambition on mitigating climate change at the norm-level by assessing the promise of the different pathways to concretization.
根据人权法,国家有责任通过单独和集体减缓气候变化来保护个人免受气候伤害,以确保实现《巴黎协定》的 1.5°C 目标。然而,目前尚不清楚人权法对国家减排轨迹的一般要求。本文通过研究从学术研究和人权执行任务的工作中可以推导出哪些减排义务来阐明这一问题。文章认为,不可能从现有的人权法体系中推导出个性化的减排义务或计算此类义务的方法。文章随后探讨了实现这种具体化的三种不同途径:立法、诉讼和监督机构。分析通过评估不同具体化途径的前景,为人权法提供了一个平台,以发挥其潜力,在规范层面推动国家减缓气候变化的雄心。

Reconciling the Dual-Faceted Mandates of Quasi-Judicial Human Rights Bodies: The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention’s Prima Facie Approach to Evidence 协调准司法人权机构的双重任务:任意拘留问题工作组的表面证据法

Focusing on evidentiary approaches, this article examines the burdens and standards of proof applied at United Nations quasi-judicial international human rights bodies. These bodies have dual-faceted mandates, combining legal and human rights traditions and imperatives. However, they diverge in their approach to evidence. This article argues that the prima facie approach developed over the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention's 30 years of jurisprudence provides an appropriately flexible and conceptually coherent means of accommodating combined human rights and the judicial mandates. Nonetheless, this approach requires lexiconic and taxonomical tightening, and clarification of its standard of proof. Comparing the approaches taken by other quasi-judicial bodies, this article builds the impetus towards inter-institutional consistency. It reviews proposals such as wholesale reversal of the burden of proof onto Governments. It highlights the drawbacks of that unilateral type of burden and the risks that it would introduce further uncertainty for parties to proceedings, may cause onerous difficulties for claimants, and would potentially flood the human rights institutions with unsubstantiated claims.
本文以证据方法为重点,探讨了联合国准司法国际人权机构适用的举证责任和标准。这些机构的任务具有双重性,结合了法律和人权的传统与要求。然而,它们在处理证据的方法上存在分歧。本文认为,任意拘留问题工作组在其 30 年的判例中形成的初步证据方法为兼顾人权和司法任务提供了适当的灵活性和概念上的一致性。尽管如此,这一方法仍需在词汇和分类学上加以强化,并明确其证据标准。本文通过比较其他准司法机构所采取的方法,推动实现机构间的一致性。文章回顾了一些建议,如将举证责任全部转嫁给政府。文章强调了这种单方面举证责任的弊端和风险,即会给诉讼各方带来更多的不确定性,可能会给索赔者带来繁重的困难,并可能会使人权机构充斥大量未经证实的索赔。

This article argues that the prima facie approach developed over the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention's 30 years of jurisprudence provides an appropriately flexible and conceptually coherent means of accommodating combined human rights and the judicial mandates. Nonetheless, this approach requires lexiconic and taxonomical tightening, and clarification of its standard of proof. Comparing the approaches taken by other quasi-judicial bodies, this article builds the impetus towards inter-institutional consistency. It reviews proposals such as wholesale reversal of the burden of proof onto Governments. It highlights the drawbacks of that unilateral type of burden and the risks that it would introduce further uncertainty for parties to proceedings, may cause onerous difficulties for claimants, and would potentially flood the human rights institutions with unsubstantiated claims.","PeriodicalId":46556,"journal":{"name":"Human Rights Law Review","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139588270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although climate change is among the main ecological crisis the world is grappling with today, relevant discourses on the subject often focus exclusively on the existential threats it presents ignoring other associated risks, including how it exacerbates modern slavery vulnerabilities. Despite already constituting a major human rights challenge, climate change promises to further exacerbate the modern slavery conundrum in Africa. Thus, in this paper, two interconnected questions are engaged with. Firstly, the climate crisis is interrogated vis-à-vis the way it induces modern slavery vulnerabilities in Africa and undermines human rights. The second aspect assesses the utility of the human rights framework in climate change action and its potential to protect modern slavery victims. While African countries are obligated to implement mitigation and adaptation strategies within their jurisdictions, to effectively address the modern slavery challenge, the paper suggests a stronger focus on global climate action via international cooperation and debt-for-nature swap.
尽管气候变化是当今世界正在努力应对的主要生态危机之一,但关于这一主题的相关论述往往只关注其带来的生存威胁,而忽视了其他相关风险,包括气候变化如何加剧现代奴隶制的脆弱性。尽管气候变化已经构成了一项重大的人权挑战,但它有望进一步加剧非洲的现代奴隶制难题。因此,本文探讨了两个相互关联的问题。首先,本文从气候危机在非洲诱发现代奴隶制的脆弱性和损害人权的角度对气候危机进行了探讨。第二个方面是评估人权框架在气候变化行动中的效用及其保护现代奴隶制受害者的潜力。虽然非洲国家有义务在其管辖范围内实施减缓和适应战略,但为了有效应对现代奴隶制的挑战,本文建议通过国际合作和债换自然,更加注重全球气候行动。
