DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book addresses the technicalities of how international human rights law can be applied at the domestic level through a case study of the human rights methodology of the Indonesian judiciary. Numerous international human rights treaties have been ratified by States parties all around the world. However, local implementation has proven a difficult task for national authorities with every State struggling to realize rights to varying degrees. This reveals a gap between the standards of human rights as envisaged by the law and those experienced by rights holders at the local level. This work analyses how Indonesian courts interpret and apply human rights. It discusses the position of human rights within specific areas of Indonesian law: constitutional law, criminal law and private law. It analyses how courts have dealt with specific cases within these fields of law. Its key contribution lies in its detailed attention to the role of the Indonesian judiciary in implementing human rights, as well as to the influence of international law, and the role that actors other than the judiciary play in this process. It also incorporates international comparative perspectives. The book will be of particular interest to human rights scholars concerned with national judiciaries’ role in human rights implementation, and to scholars, judges, civil society actors and legal practitioners working with law and human rights in Indonesia.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis Open Access Book is the first to examine disasters from a multidisciplinary perspective. Justification of actions in the face of disasters requires recourse both to conceptual analysis and ethical traditions. Part 1 of the book contains chapters on how disasters are conceptualized in different academic disciplines relevant to disasters. Part 2 has chapters on how ethical issues that arise in relation to disasters can be addressed from a number of fundamental normative approaches in moral and political philosophy. This book sets the stage for more focused normative debates given that no one book can be completely comprehensive. Providing analysis of core concepts, and with real-world relevance, this book should be of interest to disaster scholars and researchers, those working in ethics and political philosophy, as well as policy makers, humanitarian actors and intergovernmental organizations..

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Covid-19 pandemic has deepened inequality in the labor market, especially for marginalized groups, such as women, migrant workers, farm laborers, and also for certain sectors such as small and medium enterprises, precariat workers, and others. Due to unequal access to decent work, these groups experience discrimination and access barriers to other rights such as social security, and the right to health. economic security, sick leave, health care, or assistance during times of social restrictions. This situation is exacerbated by new business models, such as the platform-based economy or "gig economy" whose employment relationships are not standardized, and tend to reduce benefits and protections for workers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2006, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported that an average of 211 million people each year were directly affected by the accumulated impact of natural disasters. This is approximately five times the number of people thought to have been affected by conflict over the past decade. It is commonly expected that, as a result of climate change, population growth and inappropriate urbanisation, the incidence, severity and impact of natural disasters will continue to rise. And yet while the obligations of states in situations of armed conflict have been extensively debated, the applicability of human rights law in the aftermath of natural disaster has not been so widely examined by regional or international human rights bodies. This paper considers the obligations of governments in the aftermath of natural disasters, with a particular focus on the right to housing. The applicability of human rights law (and specifically economic, social and cultural rights) in the aftermath of natural disaster is considered in a general sense, followed by a discussion of the content of the right to housing, and the obligations of governments to respect, protect and fulfil this right in the course of responding to disaster. The question of whether states have an obligation to provide restitution, compensation or other form of reparation to those who have lost homes, land and property by reason of natural disaster is also discussed. The paper draws on examples from the Indian Ocean tsunami (2004), the Pakistan earthquake (2005) and the South Asian floods (2007), and identifies specific elements of government obligations that are of particular importance in ensuring the right to adequate housing in the aftermath of natural disaster.
