Community Human Rights Research Articles

중학교 자유학기제 사회과 주제선택 활동 수업 경험에 대한 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find out the experiences of students who take the theme selection activity of “Community Human Rights Monitoring” in the first semester of the first semester of ◇◇ Middle School in 2023, and teachers who run the class. Methods This study conducted FGI (Focus Group Interview) twice before and after class and three times after class with one teacher and six students for qualitative research on social studies subject selection classes. Before attending the class, in an interview with a teacher, I was able to understand the class in general through data such as the activity log of the subject selection class and the recorded version of the class in 2021. Results As a result of data analysis, teachers felt that topic selection activities were classes that reminded students of the importance of community competency, and that both teachers and students were creating together without the burden of evaluation. It is also said that it is a class that can enhance both teachers and students' civic behavioral capabilities, which are their identity as citizens. Students felt that their communication skills grew through classes that created their values, classes that made them interested in society, and teacher feedback. Conclusions This study is meaningful in understanding what should be more emphasized and operated in future classes by grasping teachers and students' experiences in social studies subject selection activities in the free semester system. Teachers continue to interact during class to give students an opportunity to think about human rights that they usually considered important as social studies teachers and to be interested in society.

Ratification of Law no. 3 of 2020 became the new Minerba Law and the implementation of Article 162 of the Minerba Law contained there in triggered conflicts that occurred in society. Article 162 of the Mining and Coal Law is referred to as the "Penalty Article" and the "Rubber Article", this is because the substance contained therein contains criminal offenses for anyone who "obstructs" or "disrupts" mining activities. Punishment here is related to criminal acts, where criminal acts are actions that violate laws, statutes, norms and values that apply in society. The results show that the punishment for obstructing mineral and coal mining activities in Indonesia has violated the human rights of communities that refuse mining. The government is considered to have abused the people living in the area around the mining area. In the perspective of the UNGPs-BHR, the criminal act of obstructing mineral and coal mining activities is said to not fulfill the elements contained in the UNGPs-BHR.

Episodic versus thematic media framing of violence against social leaders and human rights defenders in Colombia.

Social leaders and human rights defenders (SLHRD) in Colombia have been under increasing attack for defending the rights of communities affected by violence. From 2016 to 2022, over 600 SLHRD were assassinated, resulting in a serious violation of both individual and community human rights. The media's portrayal of these attacks can shape public perceptions and influence efforts towards peacebuilding and promoting human rights. This study examines the media's framing of violence against SLHRD in Colombia between 2016 and 2020, a period marked by an escalation of violence after the signing of the 2016 peace accord between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). We analysed 1506 textual publications from seven media outlets using a lexicometric approach and identified two frames of news articles: episodic and thematic. Our findings suggest that the episodic media framing may present a simplistic and non-political perspective of the issue, which can impede peacebuilding efforts, while the thematic frame can raise awareness of violence against SLHRD and promote human rights defence. Our study highlights the media's significant role in shaping public opinion on violence against SLHRD, offering practical implications for advocacy and activism.

Human Rights in the Paris Agreement: Too Little, Too Late?

AbstractThis article examines the impact of the Paris Agreement on the human rights of communities who are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of anthropogenic warming because of their geographical location, their spiritual and cultural connections with land and the wider environment, and their histories of colonialism, dispossession and other forms of exploitation. It focuses on two groups: forest dwellers, and inhabitants of small island developing states who are in danger of inundation as a result of rising sea levels. The Paris Agreement on climate change includes stand-alone articles on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), and loss and damage. The main argument in this article is that the inclusion of human rights in the Preamble to the Paris Agreement is a step forward, but is incommensurate with the scale and urgency of climate change.

On a Peak in Darien: Community Peace Initiatives in Uraba, Colombia

All over the world, rural and minority communities are vulnerable to human rights violations, often due to larger economic interests in their land. This policy and practice note argues that it is important to recognize community initiatives that denounce and resist such risks as acts of autonomous human rights defence. To illustrate this, it looks at two experiences of community organization and resistance in Urabá, Colombia: the organization CAVIDA and their Humanitarian Zones in Cacarica, and the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó. The paper examines the context in which these experiences have emerged, how the communities were displaced off their land, and how they developed strategies for returning, despite ongoing conflict. It looks at the risks they face and the combination of complementary protection mechanisms they use in order to remain on their land. While being context specific, these experiences also have wider resonance for community human rights defence and protection strategies, especially against violations linked to economic interests and interests in maintaining impunity, and for pioneering the right to non-participation in armed conflict.

The global fisheries crisis: dispelling myths and misconceptions, and fishing for solutions

Many authors have highlighted the crisis facing world fisheries and the threat this implies for the world economy, food supplies, and livelihoods. Several authors have diagnosed the problems (often simplified as ‘too many boats chasing too few fish’) and prescribed remedies (reducing the number of vessels or ‘fishing capacity’). In general both the diagnoses made and remedies prescribed emphasize the need to address environmental problems (over fishing, resource depletion, habitat destruction, etc.) using technical managerial approaches (rights-based management, Marine Protected Areas, etc.). These are often based on partial data, myths, and misconceptions. They also fail to address the human dimensions of fisheries, especially the human rights of communities whose livelihoods and food security depend on accessing living aquatic resources. The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication being developed by the FAO, along with related measures that link the promotion of best practices (for responsible fisheries), including ‘scale subsidiarity’, to the social development of fishing communities, would go a long way to resolving the global fisheries crisis while alleviating poverty and promoting sustainable development.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Grandparents and Community Members

In recent years, the teaching staff from the Central Queensland school of Wowan State Primary School have been responding to recently released Education Queensland initiatives for whole school literacy planning, 'Literate Futures: Reading' (Education Queensland, 2002), and a framework for pedagogical reform, 'Productive Pedagogies' (Education Queensland, 2006). This article recounts one of their whole school showcase projects that exemplifies the innovative and connected ways this group of small school rural teachers are working to better students' engagement with the multiple demands of literacy in complex new times. Wowan State Primary School's 'Theatre Restaurant 2006' project was awarded a National Literacy & Numeracy Week Celebration Grant in 2006 for its effectiveness in creating real life literacy projects for its students and its connectedness to the wider community. This article also serves to contribute to the dearth of research on literacy in rural communities (Green & Reid, 2004; Reid, Edwards & Power, 2004) and correct myths that rural teachers are not highly skilled and fail to connect to their community Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, 2000; Clandinin & Connelly, 2004; Motley, Rossi & King, 2005) or that small multi-age rural schools do not provide exemplar practices worthy of national attention (see Sharplin, 2002; Jarzabkowski, 2003; Shelton, 2004).
