Children, Chocolate, And Profits: A Policy-Oriented Analysis Of Child Labor And The Chocolate Industry Giants, Ann W. Deam
Intercultural Human Rights Law Review
In 2001, the chocolate industry adopted the Harkin-Engel Protocol, also referred to as the Chocolate Industry Protocol, in which it "publicly acknowledged the problem of forced child labor" with a promise to "commit significant resources to address it" and ensure that "cocoa beans and their derivative products have been grown and/or processed without any of the worst forms of child labor." The noble goals set forth in this voluntary, self-regulating agreement were to be attained by 2005. Twenty years have passed since the signing of the Chocolate Industry Protocol (CIP). The purpose of this paper is to determine the effectiveness …
Beyond Culture: Reimagining The Adjudication Of Indigenous Peoples' Rights In Internationa Law, Beatriz Garcia, Lucas Lixinski
Beyond Culture: Reimagining The Adjudication Of Indigenous Peoples' Rights In Internationa Law, Beatriz Garcia, Lucas Lixinski
Intercultural Human Rights Law Review
This article argues that the current model of Indigenous rights adjudication foregrounds essentialized notions of culture, backgrounding interests of Indigenous peoples (IPs) that are not necessarily related to culture. Culture imposes a burden that limits the possibilities of human rights for Indigenous peoples, which is at least in part attributable to the current model's lack of precision. We show that the jurisprudence on IP rights by international adjudicatory bodies focuses on culture without meaningful attempts to explain and define it, is imprecise on how culture affects the reading of the human right for which it serves as the basis, as …
Arresting The Nigerian Herders-Farmers Conflict: The Unconstitutionality Of The Ruga Policy, Jude Ezeanokwasa
Arresting The Nigerian Herders-Farmers Conflict: The Unconstitutionality Of The Ruga Policy, Jude Ezeanokwasa
Intercultural Human Rights Law Review
The Ruga policy which the Federal Government claims to be aimed at ending the herders-farmers conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and rendered thousands internally displaced is perceived in most segments of the Nigeria society as a policy that would exacerbate rather than end the conflict. It seeks to establish in the States of the Federation settlements for Fulani herders who are usually illegally armed with guns as against unarmed local farmers. Due to stiff opposition from mostly non-Fulani ethnic nationalities Government suspended the policy. Since the policy is only suspended and not jettisoned, it is possible that government …
Practice And Ontology Of Implied Human Rights In International Law, Federico Lenzerini
Practice And Ontology Of Implied Human Rights In International Law, Federico Lenzerini
Intercultural Human Rights Law Review
Since the XIXth Century, implied (unenumerated) rights have been widely recognized by the courts of several countries with the purpose of addressing the shortcomings existing in national constitutions with respect to the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the human person. In the last decades, such a trend has been emulated by international human rights treaty bodies and regional courts, which use implied human rights to fill the gaps existing in human rights instruments. This practice increases the level of protection afforded to individuals and communities, achieving the goal of guaranteeing effectiveness of human rights.

Fundamental Labour Standards And Corporate Sustainability: An Analysis Of The Regulatory Framework Of Core Workers' Rights And Its Integration In Contemporary International Business, S J. Rombouts, A J.F Lafarre
Intercultural Human Rights Law Review
The core of international protection of workers' rights is made up of the Fundamental Labour Standards that were developed in the framework of the International Labour Organization (ILO). These standards, included in the eight fundamental conventions of the ILO are part of public international law, but are also incorporated into a large number of other - public, private, binding and voluntary - instruments that regulate international corporate behavior and form the basis for worker protection in international corporate social responsibility mechanisms. Fundamental Labour Standards (FLS) aim to secure respect for the prohibition of child labour, the prohibition of forced labour, …
