In particular, it suggests that the confluence of tectonic geopolitical changes, system-wide shifts in climate and energy, and fundamentally new developments in science and technology might lead to a rupture of the same scale as the cluster of events that heralded the onset of the current rights regime. This argument builds on a number of literatures, especially those focused on norms cycles, rights generations, and what is being called the “ontological turn.” Yet the implications extend beyond these conversations in terms of both conceptual scale (the emphasis here is on critical junctures between eras, rather than cycles or generations within eras) as well as temporal scale (the emphasis is on the medium-to-long-range future, rather than the near future). An effort to ground this speculation takes the form of testable hypotheses and practical recommendations.","PeriodicalId":51734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Rights","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135286557","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}

This article delvers deeper into this dynamic in Algeria and Tunisia by systematically analyzing regime use of preexisting authoritarian legal frameworks to target perceived regime opponents. Notably, unlike other regimes in the MENA, COVID-19 pandemic-specific laws (such as curfew violations) were not heavily relied on to arrest and prosecute prominent opponents. Instead, foundational laws that restrict free speech and assembly with intentionally vague language, which often date back decades, were reused. Several of these laws were enhanced during the pandemic to grant the executive more leeway in their use and expanded fines and prison sentences. Interestingly, despite the very public use of these laws, regimes in both countries have maintained relatively high public approval ratings. This is remarkable, given that past autocrats were overthrown for similar abuses. This demonstrates that pandemics grant aspiring authoritarian regimes greater leeway in the use of general legal mechanisms to restrict free speech and assembly. These kinds of crises can help maintain approval ratings despite extensive oppressive action by the state. This was especially true for Tunisia, where it appears that the pandemic created a rally-’round-the-flag effect that allowed the executive to consolidate his power in a dramatic democratic backslide. Notes1 Data were pulled from Arab Barometer Waves 5 (2019), 6a and 6b (2020), 6c (2021), and 7 (2022). For ease of interpretation, four part responses were aggregated into two general Satisfied/Dissatisfied, Good/Bad, More trust/Less trust from their original (Completely satisfied/Satisfied/Dissatisfied/Completely dissatisfied, Very good/Good/Bad/Very bad, A great deal of trust/Quite a lot of trust/Not a lot of trust/No trust at all). Responses under Overall Satisfaction with Government Performance in Waves 6 and 7 were combined with responses under Satisfaction with the Current Government's Performance: Providing Security and Order in Wave 5. Both were rated Very good/Good/Bad/Very bad.

{"title":"Meanings of the human rights concept: Tunisian activism in the 1970s","authors":"Marc Schade-Poulsen","doi":"10.1080/14754835.2023.2264321","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14754835.2023.2264321","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThis article explores human rights activism in an authoritarian context of the Global South in the 1970s through the case of Tunisia, a decade considered by scholarship as the starting point for international human rights norm diffusion, including in the Arab region. It describes how two Tunisian solidarity groups and the Tunisian Human Rights League—considered the first independent human rights organization in the Arab World—used the concept. These organizations are considered catalyzers of the spread of human rights culture in Tunisia. The article argues that the use of human rights and references to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights did not entail that international human rights norms were a core concern. Other justice principles and ideologies prevailed in the 1970s. The article further showcases the complexity of human rights processes in the Global South. Understanding the 1970s necessitates exploring the groups that made use of the concept, the political spaces in which they operated, and the idea environments in which human rights became a part. AcknowledgmentsI would like to express my gratitude to the Carlsberg Foundation for financial support of field work in Tunisia, and to Roskilde University, and its research group on Global Political Sociology, for hosting my research. My gratitude also goes to Dr. Stéphanie Lagoutte and two anonymous readers for their constructive comments and, not the least, to friends and colleagues in Tunisia who consented to share their experience as political and human rights activists with me.Disclosure statementNo conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 When translating the names of organizations into English, I use French acronyms, as these are the best known in the Tunisian context.

My informants do not recall having had the Tehran Conference in mind when including human rights in the name of the CISDHT. In France, establishing ad hoc committees referring to human rights was common. Seven such committees for example were created between 1954 and 1956 in relation to the Algerian war (Berchadsky, Citation1994, p. 20).5 I borrow the term from the works of Tilly (Citation2006) and Tarrow (Citation2011).6 The Tunisian state’s view on the trial was published in Parti Socialiste Destourien (PSD; Citation1968) and Government of Tunisia (Citation1968).7 AI professionalized its presence at the United ","PeriodicalId":51734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Rights","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135273757","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}
