This document discusses whether moral rights are human rights and the implications if they are. It begins by outlining sources of human rights obligations including various international treaties and conventions. It then examines different types of human rights obligations, including negative obligations to abstain from interference and positive obligations to act. The document analyzes specific rights from the European Convention on Human Rights including property rights under Article 1 Protocol 1, privacy rights under Article 8, and freedom of expression under Article 10. It discusses how rights are balanced against each other. The document concludes that moral rights relating to protecting the integrity and reputation of creative works must be balanced with freedom of expression, and outlines how limitations and exceptions can help accommodate both rights.
This document discusses whether moral rights, such as the right of attribution and integrity for authors and artists, should be considered human rights. It outlines some of the common features of human rights, such as universality and inalienability. It then examines arguments for and against considering moral rights as human rights based on international treaties and implementations in different countries. While moral rights are recognized in some forms in various laws and agreements, there is variability and exceptions that call into question whether they truly have universal and inalienable status that is characteristic of human rights. The document concludes that moral rights could still be developing as a potential third-generation human right.
The document provides an overview of the development of human rights from ancient times to modern international law. It traces the origins of concepts like natural rights in documents like the Magna Carta and Declaration of Independence. It then summarizes major milestones in establishing international human rights standards, including the UN Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and International Covenants on Civil/Political and Economic/Social/Cultural Rights. The final sections define key terms like human rights, humanitarian law, and the different categories of rights.
The origin of the universal declaration of human rightsMr Halligan
The document discusses the origins and development of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It describes how the atrocities of the Holocaust shocked the world and motivated the United Nations to establish internationally recognized human rights. The document outlines how the Nazis systematically discriminated against, persecuted, and attempted to exterminate Jews and other minority groups in Germany. It took three years of negotiations for the UN to agree on the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted in 1948.
1 the nature and development of human rightsAlisa Stephens
The document discusses the nature and development of human rights. It begins by defining human rights as universal and inalienable rights held by all humans. It then examines major statements of human rights, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948, which established 30 articles outlining civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Two binding international covenants were also established in 1966: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Over time, human rights have continued to develop through additional treaties and protocols recognizing newer generations of rights.
Human rights are evolving and their interpretation continues to develop over time. While some rights are fundamental, others remain aspirational or contested. Human rights fall into three generations - civil/political, economic/social/cultural, and group rights. They have evolved through laws and conventions, and were established to ensure peace and protect individuals from states. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights outlines basic rights and freedoms and was followed by two binding covenants. However, implementation and monitoring of human rights is still a challenge, with countries and NGOs having different views of country reports. The UN and its bodies work to improve human rights protection.

The document discusses human rights and nation states. It defines a nation state as having a defined territory, permanent population, effective government, and ability to enter international relations. There are currently 193 UN member states. Some areas like Taiwan, Puerto Rico, and Palestine seek recognition as independent states but have disputed or limited international status. The UN and organizations like the ICC and ICJ seek to promote and enforce human rights, but nation states retain sovereignty and not all comply with international law and treaties. Media, NGOs, and other groups apply pressure but have no direct enforcement powers.
The United Nations formed a commission after World War II to draft a document outlining fundamental human rights. Eleanor Roosevelt chaired the commission which included 18 members from various countries. Rene Cassin, a French lawyer and former diplomat, was the primary author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948 and outlined 30 basic rights for all humans. It was the first international document to recognize broad and fundamental human rights that should be universally protected.
The document summarizes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948 in response to World War 2. It recognizes 30 fundamental human rights and freedoms that all people are inherently entitled to as human beings, including the rights to life, liberty, freedom from slavery and torture. The Declaration has served as the foundation for international and national laws protecting human rights around the world.
This document provides a brief history of human rights declarations and organizations from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses some of the earliest declarations of rights including those established by Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC and provisions of the 1215 Magna Carta. It then outlines several seminal human rights documents and organizations in the 18th through 20th centuries such as the US Declaration of Independence, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Amnesty International. The document concludes with a proposed classroom activity asking students to address a human rights problem and develop a solution.
Human rights are rights that belong to all people. The main function of law is to protect human rights by establishing rules and penalties. While the idea of human rights can be traced back to early civilizations, the modern concept developed in the 20th century. The League of Nations and United Nations both aimed to promote and uphold human rights, and many declarations and agreements have aimed to further define human rights. However, debates still continue around what constitutes human rights, and violations still occur.
Human Rights Day is observed annually on December 10th to commemorate the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN in 1948. The UDHR established fundamental human rights that all people are entitled to, regardless of race, sex, language, religion, or other status. It arose from the philosophical concept of natural rights that individuals possess even when not protected by governments. Major historical documents like the Magna Carta also established certain legal rights. The UN and regional organizations like the Council of Europe now work to uphold universal human rights standards and prevent violations.
The document contains quotes from various prominent figures throughout history on the topics of human rights, freedom, equality, and dignity. Many of the quotes discuss how human rights are essential for development and apply universally to all people regardless of factors like race, religion, or nationality. Several quotes also emphasize that human rights must be protected locally in everyday lives and communities in order to have meaningful impact.
This document discusses two perspectives on the relationship between human rights and state sovereignty in international relations: the communitarian/statist perspective and the cosmopolitan/universal perspective. It also examines how international human rights conventions and declarations have expanded the domain of international law and eroded state sovereignty by establishing rights that individuals possess as humans rather than citizens. The document explores debates around humanitarian intervention and when it may be justified to interfere in a state's domestic affairs to protect human rights.
The document traces the origins and development of human rights from ancient times through modern declarations. It discusses philosophers like John Locke who argued that life, liberty, and property were natural rights. Key milestones included the English Bill of Rights in 1689, the US Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in 1789. After World War II, the UN was formed to promote universal human rights. The UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 to enshrine civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights for all.
International human rights law has evolved significantly since the United Nations Charter first established protecting human rights as a goal. Three key developments include:
1) The Universal Declaration of Human Rights established civil/political and economic/social/cultural rights but is non-binding.
2) The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights made several rights legally binding and created monitoring mechanisms like the Human Rights Committee.
3) Other treaties like the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women have further expanded protections, though some states have lodged reservations, particularly around provisions in conflict with interpretations of Sharia law.
The document defines human rights and discusses their origins and categories. It provides definitions of human rights from the United Nations and Philippine Commission on Human Rights as inherent rights necessary for human life and dignity. The document then outlines the basic characteristics of human rights as fundamental, inalienable, and universal. It proceeds to categorize human rights and provide examples, such as political rights, democratic rights, and economic/social/cultural rights. The document concludes by tracing the origins of human rights protections in the Philippines from the 1896 Malolos Constitution to provisions in modern constitutions beginning in 1935.

This document discusses the meaning and importance of rights. It defines rights as conditions granted by the state for public welfare. Rights can be positive or negative and every right corresponds to a duty. The document then classifies rights into moral rights and legal rights. Moral rights are based on ethics while legal rights are recognized and enforced by law. It provides examples of different types of legal rights like civil rights, political rights, and economic rights.

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) established the first Council of Europe convention in 1950 to protect fundamental freedoms and human rights in Europe. It guarantees civil and political rights, including the right to life, freedom from torture, right to a fair trial, and freedom of expression. The European Court of Human Rights monitors compliance with the convention and issues legally binding judgments when it finds violations. Member states are obligated to enforce the court's rulings and compensate victims. The convention established common standards for human rights and fundamental freedoms across Europe.
Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights provides for the right to freedom of expression. It protects the right to receive and impart information and ideas without interference from public authorities. Freedom of expression is a qualified right and can be subject to restrictions to protect national security, public safety, or the rights of others.
Prior to the Human Rights Act 1998, freedom of expression had an uncertain status in UK law, though some aspects like speech in Parliament were protected. The Act incorporated the ECHR, including Article 10, into domestic law. Now Article 10 has been instrumental in allowing greater media access to courts and limiting unnecessary censorship. However, balancing freedom of expression with other rights like privacy remains an ongoing challenge.
Who wins when copyright and free speech clash?Graham Smith

Article 19(1) (a) of the Constitution of India states that, “all citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression”. The philosophy behind this Article lies in the Preamble of the Constitution, where a solemn resolve is made to secure to all its citizen, liberty of thought and expression. The exercise of this right is, however, subject to “reasonable restrictions” for certain purposes being imposed under Article 19(2) of the Constitution of India.
OBJECTIVE

Investigatory Powers Act and Data Protection AdequacyGraham Smith
This document discusses legal challenges to the Investigatory Powers Act (IPAct) regarding data protection adequacy. Key issues being challenged include whether the IPAct allows for generalized and indiscriminate data retention and bulk data collection. Recent court rulings have found that access to retained data must be limited to serious crimes and require independent prior review. Other IPAct provisions around non-crime data uses and data location requirements are also pending decisions from UK and EU courts on whether they comply with data protection standards. The document analyzes how these legal challenges could impact whether the IPAct is deemed adequate for data flows from the EU.
SCL Conference 8 June 2017 - Investigatory Powers ActGraham Smith
The Investigatory Powers Act introduces new legislation to govern surveillance and investigatory powers in the UK. It consolidates and updates multiple existing acts that had been amended numerous times. The Act introduces new safeguards like requiring judicial approval for most warrants and notices. It also expands some existing powers, such as mandatory communications data retention, applying it to all types of data and extending the definition of what is retained. Technical capability notices were expanded to most powers in the Act and apply to private telecommunications operators. While some powers are not new, others that had been opaque are now made explicit in the Act. The legislation is an attempt to make surveillance laws more comprehensive and comprehensible compared to the patchwork of existing acts.
Internet and eCommerce Law Review 2016Graham Smith
This document summarizes an annual technology law update presentation on internet and e-commerce issues from 2016. It discusses key legal developments regarding consumer protection, digital copyright, online intermediary liability, and investigatory powers. Specifically, it outlines cases on unfair choice of law terms, copyright infringement by linking, site blocking injunctions, and the ongoing debate around surveillance laws and data retention. It also previews issues to be addressed in 2017 regarding the digital single market and ongoing legal challenges.
[1] Criminal and regulatory laws have varying territorial reach depending on factors like location of users, activity type, and targeted locations.
[2] Civil liability also has cross-border implications regarding applicable substantive laws, adjudicative jurisdiction of courts, and choice of applicable law depending on concepts like territoriality of laws and targeting.
[3] Investigatory powers of law enforcement investigating online crimes have unclear territorial scope, raising issues around direct orders to disclose data versus mutual legal assistance treaties. Comity between jurisdictions is an important consideration.
This document summarizes a presentation on the Investigatory Powers Bill (IP Bill) and related issues around government surveillance powers and oversight. The presentation discusses:
- Requirements under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights for any interference with privacy to be in accordance with clearly defined and accessible laws that are necessary and proportionate.
- Issues with secret interpretations of surveillance laws and the quality and accessibility of the laws.
- Questions around the extraterritorial application of UK surveillance laws.
- Concerns about the definitions and scope of capabilities proposed in the IP Bill around issues like internet connection records and encryption.
- Calls for reforms to better distinguish between communications data and content.
- The need for
The document discusses approaches to future-proof legislation related to investigatory powers to account for rapid technological change. It notes that past legislation like RIPA has become incomprehensible due to numerous patches. When drafting the Investigatory Powers Bill, the government defined key terms broadly in an attempt to make the bill flexible and technology-neutral, but this led to significant confusion. The document argues that concrete, technology-specific drafting combined with sunset clauses, parliamentary reviews, and transparency may better balance privacy and security as technologies change over time.
Draft Investigatory Powers Bill - Legal ViewGraham Smith
The document summarizes key changes proposed in the draft Investigatory Powers Bill regarding government surveillance powers. It discusses expanding the definition of communications data subject to retention, introducing a new power to obtain internet connection records, and potentially requiring third parties to retain certain types of data. While some powers may be made more explicit, others could still remain opaque. The document cautions that the bill is still in draft form and flags issues around future-proofing powers and potential secret legal interpretations.
This document summarizes a presentation on communications privacy and the state. It discusses the UK's legal framework for state surveillance and interception, including laws like the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. It analyzes legal challenges to state surveillance, including whether laws permit interference "in accordance with the law" as required by human rights standards. Bulk data retention by ISPs and state agencies is discussed, as well as recent cases from the CJEU and ECtHR finding certain surveillance practices violated proportionality standards. The document examines open legal issues like the need for accessible, clear laws to regulate state hacking and exploitation of devices.
2015 Internet and ECommerce Law ReviewGraham Smith
The document summarizes key developments in internet and e-commerce law from 2015, including the implementation of the Consumer Rights Act which established new rights and remedies for digital content. It discusses format shifting and personal copies for private use, online intermediary liability regarding site blocking injunctions, cross-border copyright jurisdiction, and the continuing issues around RIPA, DRIPA, and the proposed Investigatory Powers Bill regarding bulk data interception and communications retention. It concludes by looking forward to developments in 2016 regarding copyright, online regulation, and the EU Digital Single Market review.
Right to Privacy in the Digital Age-finalGraham Smith
This document summarizes a presentation on the right to privacy in the digital age. It discusses how interference with privacy must be "in accordance with the law" under the European Convention on Human Rights. Specifically, it notes that laws authorizing surveillance must be sufficiently clear and public to allow individuals to know the scope and application of such laws. It also examines legal challenges regarding programs like PRISM and TEMPORA and whether intelligence sharing and bulk surveillance are truly authorized by laws that are sufficiently clear and accessible.
2014 Internet and ECommerce Law UpdateGraham Smith
This document summarizes Graham Smith's annual IT law update presentation from October 2014. It reviews key issues from 2013 including the Digital Economy Act, Defamation Act, and EU copyright cases. It also summarizes major copyright and internet cases from 2014 regarding browsing copies, site blocking injunctions, metasearch and database rights, cross-border liability, and data retention laws. The document concludes by looking ahead to upcoming issues in online copyright, social media offenses, electronic signatures, and the EU copyright review.
Data Retention - Dead or Merely Stunned?Graham Smith
The document summarizes a European Court of Justice judgment that invalidated the EU Data Retention Directive. The judgment found that the directive disproportionately interfered with privacy rights by requiring indiscriminate retention of communications metadata for all citizens, regardless of suspicion of criminal activity. National governments must now amend data retention laws to comply with the ruling by imposing stricter conditions like independent oversight of access to retained data and clearer definitions of the serious crimes that warrant retention. The implications for laws in countries like the UK that implemented the directive are currently unclear as governments and regulators determine next steps.
Are techlaw principles in the ascendancy?Graham Smith
This document discusses the principles of technology neutrality in law and its application to copyright. It defines technology neutrality as being agnostic to specific technologies and ensuring comparable effects between new and old media. While technology neutrality aims to future-proof laws, the document notes it is not always appropriate and may have unintended consequences if extending legacy prohibitions. It analyzes several copyright cases where courts invoked technology neutrality, including finding digital downloads comparable to physical copies, and rules browser cache copies non-infringing if viewed. However, the document also notes technology neutrality is not a cure-all and may be ignored or misapplied at times.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
