By:Guðmundur S. Alfreðsson,Asbjørn Eide
Published on 1999-03-31 by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
ISBN 9789041111685
Synopsis
This volume celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). In so doing, it offers a comprehensive and systematic treatment of the rights and duties contained in the UDHR, in the light of its history, the intentions of its drafters ant the standard-setting activities and monitoring efforts which have grown out of its existence. Each article of the UDHR is treated in a separate chapter; each chapter is written by different authors, all scholars from or associated with the Nordic countries, all active in human rights work, either academically or in the field. A consolidated bibliography completes the collection. The subtitle of this volume is |A Common Standard of Achievement,| a phrase drawn from the Preamble of the UDHR. In many ways, this collection is intended to demonstrate that this phrase has, to a considerable extent, come true.

By:Paul Niskanen
Published on 2004-06-22 by A&C Black
ISBN 9780567082138
Synopsis
The Human and the Divine in History investigates the possibility that the author of Daniel knew and drew upon the Histories of Herodotus. Daniel uses and develops Herodotean concepts such as the succession of world empires, dynastic dreams, and the focus on both human and divine cauration in explaining historical events. A comparative reading of these two texts illuminates Daniel's theology of history, showing it to be neither as exclusively eschatological nor as sectarian as is often supposed. Rather, it is specifically the end of exile\u0097understood as foreign domination\u0097that Daniel envisions for the entire Jewish people.

Less Than Human
Download Less Than Human PDF/eBook
By:David Livingstone Smith
Published on 2011-03-01 by St. Martin's Press
ISBN 9781429968560
Synopsis
Winner of the 2012 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Nonfiction A revelatory look at why we dehumanize each other, with stunning examples from world history as well as today's headlines |Brute.| |Cockroach.| |Lice.| |Vermin.| |Dog.| |Beast.| These and other monikers are constantly in use to refer to other humans—for political, religious, ethnic, or sexist reasons. Human beings have a tendency to regard members of their own kind as less than human. This tendency has made atrocities like the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda, and the slave trade possible, and yet we still find it in phenomena such as xenophobia, homophobia, military propaganda, and racism. Less Than Human draws on a rich mix of history, psychology, biology, anthropology and philosophy to document the pervasiveness of dehumanization, describe its forms, and explain why we so often resort to it. David Livingstone Smith posits that this behavior is rooted in human nature, but gives us hope in also stating that biological traits are malleable, showing us that change is possible. Less Than Human is a chilling indictment of our nature, and is as timely as it is relevant.

Trafficking of Human Beings from a Human Rights Perspective
Download Trafficking of Human Beings from a Human Rights Perspective PDF/eBook
By:Tom Obokata
Published on 2006 by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
ISBN 9789004154056
Synopsis
It has been widely accepted that trafficking of human beings is a human rights issue. However, it has been difficult to address the human rights aspects of the phenomenon in practice, because a comprehensive analysis of applicable human rights norms and principles has not been fully developed, and therefore the nature of obligations imposed upon States is not entirely clear. The purpose of this book, then, is to establish a human rights framework to promote better understanding of the multi-faceted problems inherent in trafficking of human beings, articulate obligations imposed upon States, and facilitate a holistic approach. The book also contains chapters on case studies at the national, regional, and international levels, thereby combining the theory and practice.

The Legalization of Human Rights
Download The Legalization of Human Rights PDF/eBook
By:Saladin Meckled-García,Başak Cali
Published on 2006 by Psychology Press
ISBN 9780415361231
Synopsis
The concept of 'human rights' as a universal goal is at the centre of the international stage. It is now a key part in discourse, treaties and in domestic jurisdictions. However, as this study shows, the debate around this development is actually about human rights law. This text scrutinizes the extent to which legalization shapes the human rights ideal, and surveys its ethical, political and practical repercussions. How does the law influence what we think about rights? What more is there to such rights than their legal protection? These expert contributors approach these questions from a range of perspectives: political theory/moral theory, anthropology, sociology, international law, international politics and political science, to deliver a diversity of methodologies. This book is essential reading for those wishing to develop a clear understanding of the relationship between human rights ideals and laws and for those working toward the fostering of a genuine human rights culture.

A History of Human Rights in Canada
Download A History of Human Rights in Canada PDF/eBook
By:Janet Miron
Published on 2009 by Canadian Scholars’ Press
ISBN 9781551303567
Synopsis
Human rights, equality, and social justice are at the forefront of public concern and political debate in Canada. Global events--especially the ||war on terrorism||―have fostered further interest in the abuse of human rights, especially when sanctioned or perpetuated by democratic governments. This groundbreaking contributed volume seeks to shed light on this topic by uniting original essays that examine the history of human rights in Canada. Contributors explore a variety of themes integral to the post-confederation period, including immigration and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, disability, state formation, and provincial-federal relations. Three key issues emerge throughout: incidents of discrimination in both government and society, the efforts of human rights and civil liberties activists to create a more open and tolerant society, and the implementation of state legislation designed to protect or enhance civil rights.

Published on 2011-01-01 by SPCK
ISBN 9780281063031
Synopsis
How should Christians approach the Old Testament? Should we use it to reconstruct what people believed several millennia ago? Or should we ask what the Old Testament says to us today and consider how it addresses today's world? J. W. Rogerson firmly believes that we should take the latter approach. Rogerson, an internationally respected scholar, has dedicated much of his academic life to probing the possibility of the abiding significance of the Old Testament. He shows how texts written for a strange and distant world with different social, religious and cultural factors can still speak to moral issues today.

Human Sexuality
Download Human Sexuality PDF/eBook
By:John C. Dwyer
Published on 1987 by Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN 9781556120763
Synopsis
Sexuality is both fascinating and troubling. It seems to promise that transcendence of ourselves which is our deepest human desire, and yet it makes us painfully aware of our limits and of the supreme difficulty of finding ourselves in the process of losing ourselves. The relationship of Christianity to sexuality has been particularly troubled, but this book is an attempt to reflect on the phenomenon of sexuality from the standpoint of what is central to Christianity, that is, the view of God and of the human condition which became real in the words and in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The book tries to answer this question: if we take Christianity seriously, how do we think about our sexuality and what do we do about it? This book draws on the ethical reflections of many thinkers, and it draws on much work in psychology, but its primary focus is either that of ethics or of psychology. The book intends to be theology: the attempt to talk intelligently about God and the relationship of God to every area of human existence and especially to those aspects of life which are near the center of the human personality: and foremost among such is sexuality.
Reengineering Human Resources
Download Reengineering Human Resources PDF/eBook
By:Lyle M. Spencer
Published on 1995-08-30 by John Wiley & Sons
ISBN 9780471015352
Synopsis
Reengineering Human Resources Human resources management is on the brink of radical transformation and the instrument of that transformation is information technology. Starting with this provocative premise, Reengineering Human Resources offers human resource professionals an eye-opening introduction to the changes that are about to affect the organization, staffing, and delivery of human resource services. For those who are prepared to take full advantage of the new technology, it will mean dramatic increases in productivity and impressive decreases in cost, as well as vastly improved services and greater client satisfaction. In a real sense, the field of human resources is undergoing a revolution. Written by management expert Lyle. M. Spencer specifically for human resource professionals, this book shows how new technologies, reengineered work processes, and retrained employees will bring about this revolution. Although it assumes no technical expertise, Reengineering Human Resources brings the reader up to speed on the latest hardware and software applications, including personal computers, interactive voice response systems, personal digital assistants, CD-ROMs, expert systems, information networks, and much more. Not just a description of these changes, this important book provides complete |how-to| instructions for reengineering, including activity-based costing, value analysis, and work flow charting. It describes the radical new approaches to organizing work made possible by combining traditional work analysis methods with advances in information technology. Specific cases of reengineered human resource functions, including recordkeeping, employee health care benefits, performance management, training, compensations, and labor relations are illustrated with real-life examples. An entire chapter describes the ways employee competencies will change in the reengineered organizations and jobs of the future. Information on implementing these changes explains how to calculate both the costs and benefits of reengineering. Timely, authoritative, and compelling, Reengineering Human Resources offers human resources professionals the opportunity to shape the future of their workplace and their profession.
