Human Rights Defenders Under Threat: A Shrinking Space For Civil SocietyAmnesty India
When the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was drafted after the atrocities of World War II, 70
years ago, the atmosphere was very different from today. Then, there was a spirit of solidarity with and
support for the principles of freedom, justice and peace for all the members of the human family,1 which
underpinned the UDHR. In today’s world these principles are being eroded.
The author examines the nexus between international law and the concept
of human security that emerged in the 1990s. The article proceeds in three parts. Part
one outlines the concept of human security, its genesis and contents. Part two examines the nexus between human security and international law and briefly considers the
most representative aspects of international law, including international jurisprudence,
that, in the author’s opinion, reflect human security imperatives. Finally, conclusions
provide answers to the questions posed and indicate the increased value of the human
security concept. The questions read as follows: How can human security strengthen
international actions (actions based on international law)? Where in international law
is human security reflected? In other words, what aspects of international law reflect
a human security-centered approach? What is the role of international law in human
security? Taking all this into account, what is the added value of adopting the concept
of human security? This article is inevitably interdisciplinary, as it combines the perspectives of international law and international relations.

Seven specific elements that comprise human security:
(1) economic security (e.g., freedom from poverty);
(2) food security (e.g., access to food);
(3) health security (e.g., access to health care and protection from diseases);
(4) environmental security (e.g., protection from such dangers as environmental pollution and depletion);
(5) personal security (e.g., physical safety from such things as torture, war, criminal attacks, domestic violence, drug use, suicide, and even traffic accidents);
(6) community security (e.g., survival of traditional cultures and ethnic groups as well as the physical security of these groups);

Human Rights /
Humans as Political Beings
Lecture 2.4
Natural Rights, Civil Rights, Human Rights
So far, in this unit of the course, the notion of
“rights” has come up several times. Both Hobbes,
Locke, and Mills discuss rights in some way.
As you may recall, Hobbes defines right as a type of
liberty, the freedom to do something without
impediment. Both Hobbes and Locke believe that
humans have natural rights, that is inherent
freedoms that they are endowed with by nature. In
other words, because humans and the world are
they way they are, humans come with pre-given
rights. For Hobbes the principle right held by
humans was to do whatever it takes to survive. For
Locke it was to defend one’s property (including
one’s life).
For Hobbes, when humans enter a social contract
and form a government with laws, they give up
their natural rights. For Locke, the institution of
government provides a way of guaranteeing one’s
natural rights by codifying those rights into law. When
a sovereign power establishes rights for its citizens
and laws for protecting those rights, we get civil
rights.
Natural rights apply in the state of nature while civil
rights apply in civilization. Human rights refer to
those rights which humans hold simply because they
are human. Such rights are closer in kind to natural
rights, but are often reflected in civil rights.
The notion of human rights gets invoked frequently in
discussions of violations of human dignity and ethics.
But where do human rights come from? Are they
real? Who guarantees them? How effective are
they in protecting vulnerable people? Do
other-than-human beings have rights, too?
Amartya Sen, 1933 -
Sen was born in West Bengal India in 1933. He
received is B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Economics at
Trinity College in Cambridge, England. His research
has included topics such as social choice theory,
economic theory, ethics and political philosophy,
welfare economics, theory of measurement,
decision theory, development economics, public
health, and gender studies. His interest in global
welfare and human rights was partly inspired by his
experience of witnessing famine in India.
Sen has served on various economic advisory
boards including the American Economic
Association. He has also received numerous awards
for his work, the most prestigious of which was the
Nobel Prize in economics.
Sen currently teaches at Harvard University.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW AS IT AFFECTS ARMED CONFLICTS...Onyinye Chime
The paper argues that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights may not perfectly represent the views of all the people of the world owing to differences in culture, sex, religion, to mention but a few. Thus it is not a binding rule to all the countries of the world. Nevertheless, it has become a point of reference whenever there is violation of human rights in any part of the world despite the culture and tradition of the people concerned. The paper concludes that despite its non-binding status, the admittance of its existence by states and enshrining human rights issues in their constitutions, the universal declaration of human rights does not only exist but in practice, makes humanitarian human rights law superior to national law and even as it affects armed conflict.
2. The Egyptian Coup de tat on the 3rd of July, immediately saw the reinstatement of the old state of
oppression.
Since General Abdulfattah Al-Sisi announced the coup, the elected president Mohammed Morsi has
been in detention along with his presidential team, the constitution suspended, thousands of activists
and political figures rounded up and numerous TV channels shut down.
Major events rapidly unfolded signaling a number of critical measures all of which saw serious
constitutional violations, beginning with the military coup; in itself an act of treason against Egyptian
law. This was immediately followed by the suspension of the constitution which was approved by almost
two thirds of the Egyptian people in a public referendum, as well as a series of massacres in Rabia and
numerous public squares claiming the lives of thousands, along with the detention and persecution of
media personnel attempting to cover unfolding events.
Needless to say that that as a result, Egypt is living through some of its darkest days, where the status
of human rights and freedoms has regressed to unprecedented levels.
As the military coup in Egypt has unquestionable far reaching implications ultimately threatening global
peace and security, the Legal Coordination Roundtable on the Coup in Egypt was set up.
This Roundtable will include international legal experts and human rights figures who will address events
in Egypt from the perspective of international law and human rights.

I was born on June 6th, 1974 in Egypt. In 1997 I graduated from Al-Azhar University with a Bachelor’s in Islamic
Studies and Arabic Language. Between the years of 2000, and 2001 I visited a few mosques in the US. In 2002,
I decided to move to the US; during my first two years in the US I worked both as an Imam and as an Outreach
Coordinator between Chicago and NYC. In September of 2004 I joined the Islamic Relief team as a Development
Coordinator for the Midwest region. When I started in the afore mentioned position, contributions from the region were
modest, but gradually they started to pick up, for the past 9 years I was able to raise more than 10 million dollars.
Due to the success the region was bringing to our organization, in the middle of 2009 we opened a regional office to
oversee the Midwest; I am currently heading this office in the capacity of an Operations Manager. In 2009 I obtained
a second degree, a Bachelor’s of Theology, from Cloverdale University of Indiana. At the time being, I am pursuing a
PHD degree in theology from Cloverdale University.
