Women's Rights In Islam And Somali Culture
Academy for Peace and Development
Hargeysa, Somaliland
December, 2002
excerpt:
The cultural context and experiences of women in Somaliland provide insight into both specific and universal challenges to the fulfillment of the human rights of all Somali women. For instance, the collapse of the central government eliminated legal protection of the human rights of women. In the same way, the prolonged war adversely affected their socioeconomic situation. As part of their survival strategies, women assumed heavier economic responsibilities for themselves, their children, their parents and in many instances for their spouses. This enhanced the responsibilities of women within families but did not necessarily translate into overall improvement in the realization of their rights.
As well, this increased participation has not lasted with the restoration of stability in Somaliland. Men have increasingly replaced women in economic roles and earlier patterns of discrimination have re-emerged. This is reflected in a number of crucial ways, including private and public sector employment. Educational employment opportunities, and indeed the promotion of girl's education in general, are major problems. Gender disparities are significant in school enrolment statistics, with girls comprising only 36 percent of the student population in grades 1-8, and with negligible employment of women as teachers and education functionaries. At present only 13 percent of primary school teachers are women.
Unfortunately, the imbalance so evident in educational employment is even more pronounced in other sectors. The low level of employment of women in the private and public sectors has led to the emergence of women-led independent organizations that act as advocates for women in the process of reconstruction, women's rights and human rights in general. However, women are also beginning to face new challenges from conservative elements who consider women rights, gender equality and the participation of women in economic activities as anti-Islamic and contrary to Somali culture.

Human Rights and the Moral Responsibilities of Corporate and Public Sector Organisations (Issues in Business Ethics)
By Tom Campbell, Seumas Miller
Publisher:Springer
Number Of Pages:253
Publication Date:2004-08-10
ISBN-10 / ASIN:140202360X

Binding:Hardcover
Book Description:
All students and advocates of human rights will be interested in this concerted exploration of the human rights moral obligations that fall, not directly on states, but on private and public organisations. Such an approach to human rights opens up the possibility of holding corporations and bureaucracies to account for human rights violations even when they have acted in accordance with the law. This interdisciplinary and international project brings together eminent philosophers, lawyers, social scientists and practitioners to articulate theoretically and develop in practical contexts the moral implications of human rights for non-state actors. What emerges from the book as a whole is a distinctive contemporary vision of the emerging moral impact of human rights and its significance for organisational behaviour and performance.

Victim's Rights: The Biblical View of Civil Justice

Long Description
Jacksonville, Texas: A man robs a Holiday Inn. He is sentenced to fifty years in prison.
Boston, Massachusetts: A man is convicted of first degree murder. If he serves Massachusetts' median average jail term for this crime, he will be paroled in about two and a half years.
Something is wrong - radically wrong - with the criminal justice system in the United States. Crime has been on the rise since the mid-1960's. The courts are clogged. The jails are overflowing, yet convicted criminals return to lives of crime upon release. The public is increasingly contemptuous of the criminal justice system. What is the problem?
The problem is this: there is today no agreed-upon public standard of justice. The courts are too liberal to suit the public, yet voters do not seem to know what the right sentence ought to be in any given case. The public is politically paralyzed because no one agrees on what constitutes justice. The entire criminal justice system reflects this paralysis. Sentences swing from the appallingly stiff to little more than a wrist slap.
Charles Colson, convicted Watergate felon, author of Born Again, and founders of the Prison Fellowship ministry, has identified the biblical solution:
Recently I addressed the Texas legislature. . . . I told them that the only answer to the crime problem is to take nonviolent criminals out of our prisons and make them pay back their victims with restitution. This is how we can solve the prison crowding problem.
The amazing thing was that afterwards they came up to me one after another and said things like, "That's a tremendous idea. Why hasn't anyone thought of that?" I had the privilege of saying to them, "Read Exodus 22. It is only what God said to Moses on Mount Sinai thousands of years ago."
Victim's Rights is a detailed study of Exodus 21 and 22: the case laws. It identifies the fundamental principle of biblical civil justice: the obligation of the civil government to defend the interest of the victims of crime, and the obligation of the criminal, not the State, to pay restitution. The criminal does not owe a "debt to society." He owes a debt to his victim.
Because modern Christians have neglected or rejected the case laws of Exodus, they are now in judicial bondage to humanists, who see criminals as the victims and the law-abiding public as the aggressor. "Society" is said to be at fault. This the philosophy of environmental determinism. Result: injustice on a wide scale. What is needed is exactly what Colson recommends: a return to the case laws of the Bible. Victim's Rights shows what judicial changes this would require and how such a system could work today.

The Right to Religious Liberty, Second Edition: The Basic ACLU Guide to Religious Rights (ACLU Handbook)
By Barry Lynn, Marc D. Stern, Oliver S. Thomas
Publisher:Southern Illinois University
Number Of Pages:144
Publication Date:1995-01-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0809319675
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780809319671
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
This revised and updated edition of The Right to Religious Liberty sets forth an individual’s religious rights under present law, offering suggestions as to how they can be preserved and protected.
The ACLU has diligently and vigorously advanced claims that the religious liberty of individual believers and religious institutions are infringed upon by government. Written by two ordained Christian ministers and a former Orthodox Jewish rabbinical school student, The Right to Religious Liberty represents the view that far from being militantly atheistic, the ACLU’s insistence on the separation of church and state is in the best interests of both church and state.
Like other handbooks in the ACLU series, this volume is developed in the hope that Americans, informed of their rights, will be encouraged to exercise them. Barry Lynn, Marc D. Stern, and Oliver Thomas explain this shared conviction through the useof a question and answer format that addresses a broad range of issues dealing with church-state separation and religious liberty. In detail, the authors discuss establishment and free exercise clauses, religion and public education, governmental aid to religious organizations, religious displays, the role of chaplains, religion and family law, accommodation of religion, church autonomy, conscientious objection, refusal of medical treatment for religious reasons, zoning and religious institutions, clergy confidentiality, religion in the workplace, prisoners’ rights, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, state constitutions, and the controversial topic of deprogramming.
In presenting the material as objectively as possible, the authors do not always concur with each of the cited decisions, nor do they always agree with the specific solutions of a case. Instead, their goal is to give the interested reader a synopsis of the most current and relevant information and a general sense of the meaning and application of the law.

From Booklist
The last 75 years have brought significant changes to the political and geographic picture of the world. The count of independent nations has grown from 68 in 1930 to 193 (or so) in 2005. Keeping up with the evolutions of all these nations and the supranational institutions (the UN, the European Union, and other regional affiliations) is a daunting task.
In these volumes, 310 alphabetically arranged articles range in length from 500 to 3,500 words and cover 198 regions ("including every independent nation and several territories") as well as international courts, supranational institutions, concepts central to understanding political organization and human rights, and key individuals who have had positive and negative impacts on the evolution of citizens' rights and responsibilities. Country entries describe the system of government and the political evolution, with emphasis on the twentieth century and on issues related to the relationship between government and citizen. Each signed article concludes with a bibliography. The credentials of the authors (mostly academicians) are provided in the directory of contributors. Sidebars and black-and-white maps and illustrations break up the text. Same-page definitions in the margins of terms (such as ethnic cleansing, guerrilla, and republic make the information more comprehensible, as does the glossary, which is repeated at the end of each volume. In addition, each volume includes a cumulative index and a thematic outline of topics so that users can easily locate information on relevant persons, documents, legal issues, and concepts, as well as country-specific data and history, and teachers can plan correlated assignments. Another useful feature is the filmography, which is arranged by country. Entries are complemented by volume-specific selections of primary documents (for example, Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, and Convention of the Rights of the Child).
Comparative government is a difficult subject to grasp, and the constant changes around the globe make it almost impossible to have current information in one source. For the moment, at least, this set ties things together so that one can get an overview of where the world stood in 2005. In addition to updating such earlier works as Governments of the World: Student Companion (Oxford, 1998) and The World Encyclopedia of Political Systems and Parties (3d ed., Facts On File, 1999), it offers a different perspective with its emphasis on rights and responsibilities. Recommended where budget, interest, and space warrant. Sally Jane

Book Description:
Here Michael Zuckert proposes a new view of the political philosophy that lay behind the founding of the United States. In a book that will interest political scientists, historians, and philosophers, Zuckert looks at the Whig or opposition tradition as it developed in England. He argues that there were, in fact, three opposition traditions: Protestant, Grotian, and Lockean. Before the English Civil War the opposition was inspired by the effort to find the "one true Protestant politics"--an effort that was seen to be a failure by the end of the Interregnum period. The Restoration saw the emergence of the Whigs, who sought a way to ground politics free from the sectarian theological-scriptural conflicts of the previous period. "This exemplary work of historical reconstruction dramatically transforms our understanding of the genealogy of early American political thought. No one who deals with the eighteenth-century Anglo-American political tradition will be able to avoid the unsettling challenge of Zuckert's original and painstakingly documented reinterpretation, for this is one of those rare scholarly achievements, at once capacious and meticulous, that forces all of us back to the drawing boards." --Thomas L. Pangle, William and Mary Quarterly "This is a work of careful scholarship and vast erudition.... By illustrating how Lockean and republican ideas came to be blended, Zuckert forcefully recounts the origins of the American republic." --Richard Vernier, The Journal of American History

Universal Ethics:Perspectives and Proposals from Scandinavian Scholars (The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights Library, Volume 11)

Summary: Grounds for a Universal Ethics, Scandinavian Style
Rating: 5
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in universal ethics, due to a number of reasons. First of all, increasing globalization and interdependence, and especially the modem communication technology, have made it possible for us to take part in multicultural dialogue. Contacts across national borders are increasing both in quantity and quality. Globalization and especially the world media have made global problems, such as poverty, underdevelopment and deterioration of the environment, obvious to us. The new search for universal ethics is also due to changes in world politics. The end of the Cold War and the destruction of the Berlin wall, the breakdown of apartheid, and the new role of the United Nations, have spurred an interest in identifying cultural and value-based commonalities. Even though, after the Cold War had ended, it was at first argued that there would be unity around one set of Western values, the effect has rather been the recognition that there is in fact no dominant and persuasive cultural model that compels full admiration and emulation in the way the Western synthesis did in the past. This has opened a new and deeper international, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue.
The issue of universal ethics can be studied from many perspectives. The texts of this book have been arranged in five different sections, each of which addresses a significant aspects, different questions and problems of importance in the discussion of universal ethics. In the first part universal ethics are discussed from philosophical and ethical perspectives. Some important and central concepts and demarcations are made. Universal ethics is discussed in relation to three ethical theories; specifically, contract theory, discourse ethics and natural law theory. In the second part, universal ethics is related to human rights. Here, questions on the relation between new and old declarations on universal ethics are investigated. The question of the justification of human rights across normative divides is discussed, as is the relation of human rights to nationalism and minority rights. In the third part, universal ethics is considered in relation to religion. The search for an interreligious ethic is critically investigated, as is the effort to create a European ethic out of Christian values. The question of religious affiliation for a universal ethic is also examined. In the fourth part of the book, universal ethics is discussed in relation to globalization and global governance. The role of the state in an age of globalization is debated, as is the role of culture. The asymmetry of globalization and ethical challenges posed by it are emphasized. In the fifth part, universal ethics is related to Scandinavian values. The question of "community values" is investigated through the existence and impact of social capital in the Scandinavian countries. The political cultures in these countries are also considered from a historical perspective.
The texts of all five parts deal with an important problem of great interest both from theoretical and political perspectives. They give multidisciplinary perspectives on the question of whether universal ethics are at all desirable or even possible. They also give characteristic contributions in that they include not only ethical theory, but also results and perspectives from research within various fields other than philosophy and ethics.
The aim of this book is not simply to provide an original contribution to the theoretical discourse on universal ethics within moral and political philosophy. Rather, its aim is to widen the discussion of universal ethics to include questions on how theoretical studies in philosophy and ethics relate to more empirical studies. There have been conferences and books dealing with universal ethics from a strictly philosophical or ethical perspective, but the broad perspective taken in this book is rather exceptional.
Prominent researchers, representing several different academic disciplines, have been given the opportunity to relate and discuss their research to the question of universal ethics without demanding that they use a common set of concepts or deal with a specified set of problems. The task of each scholar has been to contribute to questions of the theoretical and practical possibilities of a new form of universalism in ethics from the perspective of the scholar's own discipline. The resulting diversity of this open approach gives the reader of this book a broad and interesting view on the manifold questions concerning universal ethics. The broad perspective does not mean that there are no general observations and conclusions to be drawn from the texts.
It is not the intention of this introduction to engage all the texts with each other, but rather to summarise and introduce them. Nevertheless it is interesting to see that there has been no strong objections towards the need for and possibility of a universal ethics. It is obvious that all of the authors have been able to deal with the question of universal ethics in relation to their own field in a most interesting way. All of the texts provide good points of departure for future research of this topic.
The texts presented here represent a spectrum of different perspectives on universal ethics. Nevertheless there are some interesting tendencies that can be seen when reading the texts. It is for example obvious that the discussion of universal ethics is considered to be an important concern for all the researchers of the different disciplines of this book. Besides this general approval of the question as such, it is interesting to see that none of the authors strongly reject the idea of a universal ethics of some kind. There are various critiques, problems and objections presented towards some forms of universal ethics, but there is no severe critique of the practical possibility or the pragmatic need for universal ethics as such. On the contrary, there is in most texts an approval of this need and possibility. This approval of the practical possibility and the pragmatic need of universal ethics are of different kinds, from models of justification to empirical findings in favour of existing value communities. This multi-fold support for the idea of universal ethics is a good start for future multidisciplinary research.

The Democracy Makers: Human Rights and International Order
By Nicolas Guilhot
Publisher:Columbia University Press
Number Of Pages:288
Publication Date:2005-03-15
Sales Rank:1010361
ISBN / ASIN:0231131240
EAN:9780231131247
Binding:Hardcover
Book Description:
Has the international movement for democracy and human rights gone from being a weapon against power to part of the arsenal of power itself? Nicolas Guilhot explores this question in his penetrating look at how the U.S. government, the World Bank, political scientists, NGOs, think tanks, and various international organizations have appropriated the movement for democracy and human rights to export neoliberal policies throughout the world. His work charts the various symbolic, ideological, and political meanings that have developed around human rights and democracy movements. Guilhot suggests that these shifting meanings reflect the transformation of a progressive, emancipatory movement into an industry, dominated by "experts," ensconced in positions of power.
Guilhot's story begins in the 1950s when U.S. foreign policy experts promoted human rights and democracy as part of a "democratic international" to fight the spread of communism. Later, the unlikely convergence of anti-Stalinist leftists and the nascent neoconservative movement found a place in the Reagan administration. These "State Department Socialists," as they were known, created policies and organizations that provided financial and technical expertise to democratic movements, but also supported authoritarian, anti-communist regimes, particularly in Latin America.
Guilhot also traces the intellectual and social trajectories of key academics, policymakers, and institutions, including Seymour M. Lipset, Jeane Kirkpatrick, the "Chicago Boys," including Milton Friedman, the National Endowment for Democracy, and the Ford Foundation. He examines the ways in which various individuals, or "double agents," were able to occupy pivotal positions at the junction of academe, national, and international institutions, and activist movements. He also pays particular attention to the role of the social sciences in transforming the old anti-Communist crusades into respectable international organizations that promoted progressive and democratic ideals, but did not threaten the strategic and economic goals of Western governments and businesses.
Guilhot's purpose is not to disqualify democracy promotion as a conspiratorial activity. Rather he offers new perspectives on the roles of various transnational human rights institutions and the policies they promote. Ultimately, his work proposes a new model for understanding the international politics of legitimate democratic order and the relation between popular resistance to globalization and the "Washington Consensus."

Social and Economic Benefits of Public Rights of Way - Quantifying Value for Money

1. Introduction
1.1 Background and Context
Public Rights of Way (PROW) and the entitlements that they confer to those other than owners of land are a key element of the institutional framework that recognises the important social and economic benefits of freedom of access, movement, communications, exchange and connectivity. The protection and extension of PROW such as footpaths, bridleways, and Byways Open To All Traffic (BOATs) are an important way of encouraging people to engage in informal enjoyment of urban and rural areas, with beneficial consequences for health and welfare. In urban areas they provide networks of mobility and interaction for people at the community level, helping to reduce reliance on motorised transport. In the rural context they define access to the countryside, critically linked to recreation and tourism, as well as providing mobility networks for local residents.
PROW are examples of public goods to be enjoyed by all, usually subject to some conditions of use. They are freely available to users, though their maintenance may be paid for by public or private funds. As an example of freely available public goods, their value often goes unnoticed until they are lost or degraded.
Growing pressures associated with housing development, road building, industrial sites whether on new or reclaimed areas, and changing land-use in the wider countryside have led to the uncompensated loss or severance of traditional PROW in many areas. In recognition of their vulnerability, PROW are protected and promoted under national law such as the Countryside Act 1968, the Highways Act 1980, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Rights of Way Act 1990 and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW). Local Government Associations (LGAs) are obliged to have in place Public Rights of Way Improvement Plans by 2007. This partly reflects concern that PROW are at risk of development, that the size and integrity of networks is in decline, and that opportunities for enhancement, especially as part of planning gain, are not being taken up. Probably most importantly, however, this requirement recognises that PROW networks in many areas are not fit for purpose. They are often the inherited desire lines of the late nineteenth century and as such do not fully meet contemporary needs.
It has proved a major challenge for LGAs to prioritise and synchronise actions to protect, enhance and create PROW given the plethora of local strategies and development plans and a changing public policy environment. Increasingly, LGAs are being required to deliver value for money outcomes that are demonstrably relevant and responsive to their communities’ needs. This has exposed the need for a consistent, robust yet versatile method for assessing the social and economic value of PROW in ways that can be integrated with the general planning framework and processes. Simplistic assessment based on frequency of use of PROW has proved inadequate. This fails to recognise the relative value of specific PROW, especially those serving particular purposes or the needs of particular social groups or those that are an integral part of a larger network. There is a clear need for a theoretically robust analytical technique that can provide a practical decision tool for use by LGAs as they plan and prioritise their strategies for the cost-effective improvement of PROW: one that recognises the diversity of social and economic outcomes that individual authorities may choose to promote amongst the communities they serve.

Human Rights and Reform: Changing the Face of North African Politics

Book Description:
Independence from colonial rule did not usher in the halcyon days many North Africans had hoped for, as the new governments in Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria soon came to rely on repression to reinforce and maintain power. In response to widespread human rights abuses, individuals across the Maghrib began to form groups in the late 1970s to challenge the political practices and structures in the region, and over time these independent human rights organizations became prominent political actors. The activists behind them are neither saints nor revolutionaries, but political reformers intent on changing political patterns that have impeded democratization.
This study, the first systematic comparative analysis of North African politics in more than a decade, explores the ability of society, including Islamist forces, to challenge the powers of states. Locating Maghribi polities within their cultural and historical contexts, Waltz traces state-society relations in the contemporary period. Even as Algeria totters at the brink of civil war and security concerns rise across the region, the human rights groups Susan Waltz examines implicitly challenge the authoritarian basis of political governance. Their efforts have not led to the democratic transition many had hoped, but human rights have become a crucial new element of North African political discourse.

Rights, Welfare, and Mill's Moral Theory

ISBN-13 / EAN:9780195082180
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
This volume collects David Lyons' well-known essays on Mill's moral theory and includes an introduction which relates the essays to prior and subsequent philosophical developments. Like the author's Forms and Limits of Utilitarianism (Oxford, 1965), the essays apply analytical methods to
issues in normative ethics. The first essay defends a refined version of the beneficiary theory of rights against H.L.A. Hart's important criticisms. The central set of essays develops new interpretations of Mill's moral theory with the aim of determining how far rights can be incorporated in a
utilitarian framework. They Mill's analysis of moral concepts promises to accommodate the argumentative force of rights, and also provide a significant new reading of Mill's theory of liberty. The last essay argues that the promise of Mill's theory of justice cannot be fulfilled. Utilitarianism is
unable to account for crucial features of moral rights, or even for the moral force of legal rights whose existence might be justified on utilitarian grounds.

Product Description:
In The Ethics of Human Rights, Esther Reed constructs a Christian theology of "right," "rights," and "natural rights" and does so in constant awareness of and conversation with the public and political implications of such a theology. Reed's use of Genesis 9:1-17, God's covenant with Noah, enables her critical Christian engagement with issue of right and her application of this Christian theology of rights to the contemporary moral dilemmas of animal rights, the environment, and democracy.

Book Description:
The Human Rights Act 1998 provides for a form of incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into English law for the first time. It will have a profound effect on the law, and in no area more so than in judicial review. For the first time, the judicial review courts will have substantive principles to bring to bear when considering the legality of government action. This book gives practical guidance on the complex interplay between the new Act and judicial review. The procedural complexities created by the Act are explored, as are the effects upon existing doctrines of judicial review, such as natural justice and the Wednesbury test.

Guide to the Family Law Act 1996
By Frances Burton, Frances Burton
Publisher:Routledge Cavendish
Number Of Pages:152
Publication Date:1996-12-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1859413129
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781859413128
Binding:Textbook Binding
Book Description:
The Family Law Act 1996 not only radically changes both the law and practice of divorce, it also clarifies and extends the law of domestic violence, and provides a new code of protection. This book is intended to provide an easily assimilated overview of the new system, which is explained in the context of its law reform and parliamentary background. It draws attention to the important implications of change from the present law, namely that, far from making divorce easier, it will now generally become much more difficult, complex and drawn out and, although initially shifting the process away from the lawyers, it will create significant new work for them. This book will be equally useful for practitioners, law students, lecturers, and students on Legal Practice and the Bar Vocational courses.
