2021
[EN] The Human Rights Observatory is a pilot experience based on the teaching-learning methodology that allows, in an open, dynamic and participatory way. It monitors international current affairs and opens up a space for discussion and debate in the classroom on all those phenomena that, to a greater or lesser extent, condition International Law in the contemporary world. For this purpose, the Observatory will raise questions about issues of interest, highly topical subjects, complex problems, controversial processes and, above all, new approaches that encourage, not only through autonomous work but also through critical reflection, to deepen and complement the theoretical content of the d…

Human Rights and Changes to the International Legal System. Philosophical Reflections on the (Difficult) Coexistence of International Humanitarian La…
2012
Chapter 6 analyses the relationship between International human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL). IHL represents the new version of a part of the old ius gentium, in particular its ius in bello. Nonetheless, IHL excludes ius ad bellum, formerly linked to ius in bello in ius gentium, in continuity with the Just War Theory. The current IHL is characterized by neutrality, impartiality, and humanity in protecting victims. The practice of IHRL – not the abstract doctrine of natural rights – aims to protect human beings in different contexts and against different forms of vulnerability. In this last sense, IHL could be seen as a part of the former in the case of vulnerab…

2020
espanolEste repaso a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de derechos humanos en materia de trata en los ultimos quince anos senala con preocupacion el abandono de las categorias de esclavitud, servidumbre y trabajo forzado y la omnipresencia de la trata; una categoria que deja en situacion de desamparo a buena parte de sus victimas. El articulo se detiene en tres casos paradigmaticos: caso Siliadin v. Francia (2005); Rantsev v. Rusia y Chipre (2010); y S.M v. Croacia (2020). El analisis es critico con el concepto de trata que utiliza el TEDH en su jurisprudencia e insiste en la necesidad de regresar al derecho internacional de los derechos humanos abandonando la categoria de trata y su u…

Friendship of the enemies: Twentieth century treaties of the United Kingdom and the USSR
2010
This article focuses on the use of the concept of friendship in the treaties of friendship concluded by the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union in the twentieth century. The range of reference of friendship and its usage by these two political rivals display a number of commonalities, which indicate a key role this concept plays in maintaining the existing order of interstate relations. The concept is conventionally used in the treaties marking the changes in the global or regional political settings. In the texts of these treaties appeals to friendship are made together with the expression of respect for state sovereignty, independence, borders and so on. It also appears as an exclusive an…

#MeToo in school: teachers’ and young learners’ lived experience of verbal sexual harassment as a pedagogical opportunity
2020
Based on a case study of verbal sexual harassment experienced by a young female teacher and her 17-year-old student in a Norwegian upper secondary school, this article addresses challenges and strengths of drawing upon negative experiences of ‘lived injustice’ in class, arguing that such experiences can serve as a resource for education about, through and for human rights. Complementing this case study, we discuss a survey we have conducted among secondary school students (N=382), concerning how young learners report being sexually harassed and how often they experience that an adult intervenes in the situation. Combining the theoretical framework of human rights education (HRE) and the con…
