Lecture summary: At a time where questions abound about the state and future of international cooperation and compliance across the international legal system, this lecture will consider the new partnership of countries established in 2019 to promote and protect media freedom globally – the Media Freedom Coalition of States. The Coalition offers a new paradigm that seeks to answer some of the systemic challenges to State cooperation and compliance today, here in the area of freedom of expression, and one that puts independent experts in international law at the very centre of its institutional and operational framework.The lecture will chart the establishment and work of the Coalition, through the perspective of its independent panel of legal experts, the High Level Panel of Legal Experts on Media Freedom, and the Panel's work advising States and international organisations across a broad panoply of media freedom issues, and answering requests by international courts and tribunals to intervene in cases of public importance engaging Article 19 of the ICCPR and UDHR. It will focus on examples of areas where specific recommendations by legal experts have already been turned into State policy and practice (for instance, with the creation and implementation of an emergency visa for journalists at risk), and areas where the progress towards implementation has been altogether more challenging.Five years on from its establishment, the Media Freedom Coalition finds itself at a crossroads, while its tri-partite structure of States, legal experts, and civil society is already being replicated by States in other areas of international legal cooperation and compliance.Speaker Biography: Can Yeğinsu is a barrister practising from 3 Verulam Buildings in London where he practises in commercial litigation, international commercial and investment arbitration, public law and human rights, and public international law.Prof Yeğinsu is also a long-standing member of the Law Faculties of Georgetown Law, Columbia Law, and Koç University Law School where he teaches courses on public international law, including courses on international dispute settlement, international human rights, and international investment law. He is a Senior Fellow at Columbia Law School's Human Rights Institute, and serves on the Executive Council of the American Society of International Law.In 2022, Prof Yeğinsu was appointed by the Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, with Catherine Amirfar, to succeed Amal Clooney as the Deputy Chair of the High Level Panel of Legal Experts on Media Freedom, having served as a member of the Panel since its established in 2019.

Strength & Solidarity Season 6 will start in November. Meanwhile we're repeating some of our favourite shows from past seasons. This week we're revisiting episode 39, first released, December 21, 2023. Original Episode Description from December 2023: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) turned 75 on the 10 December 2023. Passed by the UN General Assembly in the wake of two brutal world wars, it expressed an aspiration for a new world, one in which every human being's rights would be acknowledged and respected, and international law would regulate the actions of states and hold them accountable for violations. That vision is as powerful today as it was then and it has sometimes, and in some places, been realized. But the failures are many. Despite their pledge, governments have repeatedly abandoned principle to pursue their own interests, leaving ordinary people – sometimes an individual, sometimes millions – without protection from brutal mistreatment or immiseration and lacking any recourse. Why does the the global human rights system fail? And can it be made to work? A group of moderators from the Symposium on Strength and Solidarity for Human Rights get round a table to argue it out.

Harvard Kennedy School Professor Kathryn Sikkink and former longtime Human Rights Watch executive director Kenneth Roth have spent years both studying the transformational effects of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and have worked on the ground to make its vision of a more just, equal world a reality. On December 10th, the world celebrated not only the annual Human Rights Day, but also the 75th anniversary of the UDHR, which some historians and social scientists consider to be the greatest achievement in the history of humankind. It was the first time representatives of the world community declared that every human person on earth was entitled to the same rights as every other, without discrimination, and no matter the circumstances. It was an achievement that was both historically radical—legal slavery in the United States had ended just 80 years earlier—and yet one which made perfect, urgent sense in the post-World-War-II context of a humanity whose collective conscience was still reeling at the horrors and inhumanity of conflict. Appalled by the dehumanization and mass slaughter of human beings in the Holocaust, where 6 million Jews were exterminated by the Nazis along with Poles, Roma, homosexuals and other groups, by Japanese atrocities including 2.7 million people murdered in Northern China alone, by the first use of atomic weapons, and by other acts of mass civilian killing, the world's nations gathered to write a new definition of what it means to be human. The result was the UDHR, which was drafted by a committee led by former U.S. first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. It was radical not just because it was so universal, but also because it was remarkably comprehensive—going far beyond basics like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to enumerating human rights to privacy, health, adequate housing, freedom from torture and slavery, the right to nationality, to take part in government, to work for equal pay, to have protection against unemployment, to unionize, to a decent standard of living, to rest and leisure, to enjoy culture, art, and science, and finally to a social and international order where the rights in the Declaration could be fully realized. Sikkink and Roth join PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli to explain how the UDHR has forever changed the way we think about our fellow human beings, and to suggest policies that will keep pushing the global community toward a more just, fair, and compassionate world.Policy Recommendations:Kathryn Sikkink's Policy Recommendations:Make teaching about the global origins and transformative impact of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights a core component of studying civics and human rights.Renew the global campaign for democracy and authoritarianism, because history has shown that democracy and human rights complement and help promote one another.Renew the international community's diplomatic efforts to prevent and stop wars, particularly civil wars and intra-country armed conflicts, which are a major source of human rights violations.Ken Roth's Policy Recommendations:Use the celebrations of the UDHR's 75th anniversary to underscore the idea that the UDHR is not a collection of platitudes but a set of international norms that individual world governments must be held accountable to.Strengthen international protections for human rights nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), which play an important role in investigating, and identifying human rights abuses and holding responsible parties to account in the public sphere.Encourage world governments to adopt foreign policy positions that hold their allies accountable for human rights as well as their adversaries.Kathryn Sikkink is the Ryan Family Professor of Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. Sikkink's work centers on international norms and institutions, transnational advocacy networks, the impact of human rights law and policies, transitional justice, and the laws of war. She has written numerous books, including “The Hidden Face of Rights: Toward a Politics of Responsibilies,” “Evidence for Hope: Making Human Rights Work in the 21st Century,” and “The Justice Cascade: How Human Rights Prosecutions are Changing World Politics,” which was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Center Book Award and the Washington Office on Latin America/Duke University Human Rights Book Award. She holds an MA and a PhD from Columbia University and has been a Fulbright Scholar in Argentina and a Guggenheim fellow. She is a member of the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Council on Foreign Relations.Kenneth Roth is the former executive director of Human Rights Watch, one of the world's leading international human rights organizations, which operates in more than 90 countries. Roth has been called “the godfather of the human rights” for his dedication to the cause and for helping change the way rights violations were covered in the international media. He first learned about human rights abuses from his father, whose Jewish family ran a butchery near Frankfurt in Hitler's Germany. Prior to joining Human Rights Watch in 1987, Roth served as a federal prosecutor in New York and for the Iran-Contra investigation in Washington, DC. A graduate of Yale Law School and Brown University, Roth has conducted numerous human rights investigations and missions around the world. He has written extensively on a wide range of human rights abuses, devoting special attention to issues of international justice, counterterrorism, the foreign policies of the major powers, and the work of the United Nations.Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

Tessa Szyszkowitz in conversation with Marina Litvinenko, Galina Timchenko, Zhanna Nemtsova & Veronica Tsepkalo COURAGE! How to fight for human rights in Russia On the 75th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 2023, Russian women human rights activists demand pluralism, freedom of expression and the release of the political prisoners in Russian prisons: Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights UDHR, proclaimed at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris on December 10, 1948, states: „Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.“ December 10, 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of one of the world's most ground-breaking international commitments. Based on the UDHR, a range of more specific international human rights treaties have been adopted, to which also Russia is a party.” In 1993, the Vienna World Conference on Human Rights set important initiatives to turn the promises of the UDHR into concrete action. The importance of the UDHR is highlighted by the human rights situation in Russia and Belarus. Critics of the Russian president and the Russian war against Ukraine are imprisoned under inhumane conditions, forced into exile, persecuted, arrested, incarcerated, poisoned, or killed. Among the most important critics are imprisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny, journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza and Belarusian opposition politician Maria Kalesnikawa. Journalist Anna Politkovskaya and whistleblower Alexander Litvinenko were murdered in 2006. Marina Litvinenko, widow of murdered Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, is fighting for political murders to be recognized as such and for those who commissioned them to be held responsible. She lives in London. Galina Timchenko, is the co-founder, CEO, and publisher of exiled Russian media Meduza in Riga. Zhanna Nemtsova, daughter of the murdered politician Boris Nemtsov, is founder of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation „For Freedom“.

Every December 10th, the world marks Human Rights Day, and this year is the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—which is one of the first documents drafted by the United Nations that decreed, in writing, that “All people are born free and equal”. However, in light of the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and other conflicts, how can nations and international bodies reconcile the paradox of celebrating human rights milestones, while bearing witness to continued violations that contradict the principles outlined in the declaration? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Katrina Jorene Maliamauv, Executive Director of Amnesty International Malaysia.
Voices - Conversations on Business and Human Rights from Around the World
”The UDHR is the heart and soul of the United Nations”The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is clear that "all organs of society" need to respect human rights, and Eleanor Roosevelt spoke about making these rights a reality "on the farm, in the factory and in the office". As we mark 75 years of the UDHR, how has this foundation of human rights guided and improved the fulfilment of worker rights?In this episode of Voices, IHRB's CEO John Morrison sits down with Sharan Burrow, former General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, to get a trade unionist perspective on the UDHR's legacy to improve conditions for workers, in particular for women and marginalised groups, and how collective bargaining and freedom of association are still critical.

“The decriminalization of sex work is the removal of criminal penalties for sex work (specifically, prostitution).[2] Sex work, the consensual provision of sexual services for money or goods,[3] is criminalized in most countries.[4] Decriminalization is distinct from legalization[5] (also known as the "regulationist" approach).[6] Advocates of decriminalization argue that removing the criminal sanctions surrounding sex work creates a safer environment for sex workers,[7] and that it helps fight sex trafficking.[8] Opponents of decriminalization argue that it will not prevent trafficking (or even increase trafficking[9]) and could put sex workers at greater risk.[10] Evidence demonstrates that decriminalization is an evidence-based harm reduction approach[11] Organizations including: the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO), Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the medical journal The Lancet have called on countries to decriminalize sex work in the global effort to tackle the HIV/AIDS epidemic and ensure sex workers' access to health services.[12][13][14][15] Almost all organisations run by sex workers themselves around the world favour the decriminalisation of sex work, and it tends to be their main goal.[16][17][18][5][19] However, a European Parliament resolution adopted on 26 February 2014, regarding sexual exploitation and prostitution and its impact on gender equality states that, "decriminalising the sex industry in general and making procuring legal is not a solution to keeping vulnerable women and under-age females safe from violence and exploitation, but has the opposite effect and puts them in danger of a higher level of violence, while at the same time encouraging prostitution markets – and thus the number of women and under-age females suffering abuse – to grow."[10] Two countries have decriminalized sex work. In June 2003, New Zealand became the first country to decriminalize sex work, with the passage of the Prostitution Reform Act.[20] The one remaining criminal law surrounding commercial sexual activities in New Zealand is a requirement to adopt safer sex practices.[21] Despite decriminalisation, its sex industry is still controversial, with some issues remaining.[22] In June 2022, Belgium became the first country in Europe and the second country in the world to decriminalize sex work.[23][24] Decriminalization is the removal of criminal penalties for sex work. In countries that decriminalize sex work, sex workers receive the same protection and recognition as workers in other industries.[2] The very first line of the World Charter for Prostitutes' Rights, written and adopted by the International Committee for Prostitutes' Rights on 15 February 1985 at the first World Whores Congress in Amsterdam, states: "Decriminalize all aspects of adult prostitution resulting from individual decision."[31]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
Craig Mokhiber, Director of the UN Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights in New York, details how when the UN was established in 1945, the main goals were to eliminate the scourge of war, promote economic and social development and enhance human rights worldwide. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) defines the myriad of human rights and was adopted on December 10, 1948. It included all political, cultural, economic, social and civil rights. Eleanor Roosevelt, the US Constitution, the French Rights of Man and FDR's Four Freedoms played a key role in developing the UDHR. To guarantee that there is balance and impartiality in evaluating a country's human rights progress, periodically all 193 countries in the UN participate the Universal Periodic Review which is an evaluation of their human rights record. Human rights are under pressure in many areas around the world, including in the US with attacks on democratic institutions. No country has a perfect human rights record.
Mark Oettinger, Attorney and World Court of Human Rights Design Team Leader, discusses the concept of the World Court of Human Rights (WCHR). The concept was launched in 1947 when the UN was temporarily in Paris and was debating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which passed on December 10, 1948. The UDHR is often viewed as the “Constitution for the World,” having drawn upon concepts from the American “US Constitution” and the French “Rights of Man,” WCHR is viewed as the third leg of the Supranational Courts: ICC, ICJ and WCHR. The International Criminal Court, or ICC, was established by the UN, is not part of the UN System today and pursues criminal prosecution procedures against world leaders who have been charged with committing genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity It is intended to punish. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), one of the six organs of the UN, is a civil court which resolves disputes between and among nations when boundaries or treaties are contested, e.g., fishing rights between the US and Canada. WCHR's major purpose is to intercede when major violations of human rights occur, e.g., Russians in Ukraine, Rohingyas in Myanmar, or Uyghurs in China. Funding for the WCHR is based on the percentage of wealth of an individual state, much as the funding arrangement at the UN today. Discussions are incubating at the UN as to how the WCHR would interact with the UN Human Rights Council, UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council.
“In Exodus 23, the Israelites are given instructions on how to maintain justice for all. This text lists acts that must be and not be done, so as to prepare a safe and equitable space for all who inhabit the land.

“Introduction On Dec. 10, 1948, the U.N. General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), proclaiming inalienable rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled, regardless of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. The Carter Center hails this year's 70th anniversary of the UDHR as an opportunity for all to reaffirm the universal values and enduring principles enshrined in the UDHR. The Carter Center works to support former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's long commitment to human rights, particularly the rights of women and girls. In his 2014 book, A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power, President Carter articulates many of his proposals, including the engagement of religious leaders in this work, because, as he argues, the disproportionate violence, poverty, and discrimination that women and girls around the world face is often caused by “the false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Kufuatia kuanza kwa maadhimisho ya miaka 75 tangu kupitishwa kwa Tamko la Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu haki za binadamu, UDHR, Kamishna Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa haki za binadamu, Volker Türk ametoa wito kwa serikali duniani kote na mamlaka zote zinazoshikilia watuhumiwa kuwapatia msamaha au kuwaachilia huru wale wote walioswekwa ndani kwa kutekeleza haki zao za msingi.Katika taarifa yake iliyotolewa na Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Haki za Binadamu mjini Geneva, Uswisi hii leo, Bwana Türk ametaja watu hao kuwa ni wale wanaofanya kazi kutetea na kulinda mazingira, hatua kwa tabianchi, wanaokemea ubaguzi, ufisadi, wanahabari waliofungwa kwa kutekeleza jukumu lao adhimu na watetezi wa haki za binadamu.Kamishna huyo amesema tamko lake hili la leo linazingatia hisia alizopata akianza mwaka mpya yeye na familia yake huku akifikiria familia ambazo wapendwa wao wanashikiliwa korokoroni au wamefungwa jela kwa kutetea au kusimamia haki zao.Ni kwa mantiki hiyo anasema, “tunapoanza maadhimisho ya miaka 75 ya Tamko la Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu haki za binadamu, natoa wito kwa serikali na mamlaka zote zinazoshikilia watuhumiwa duniani kote zipatie msamaha au ziwaachilie huru wale wote wanaoshikiliwa kwa kutekeleza haki zao.”Amezitaka mamlaka hizo zifanye hivyo kwa kupitia upya kesi dhidi ya watu hao na zichague kuanza mwaka huu wa 2023 kwa hatua ya mwelekeo wa dira ya tamko la Umoja wa Mataifa la haki za binadamu, la kuwa na dunia ambamo kwayo kila mtu anaishi huru, kwa utu na kwa haki.Ametoa wito kwa wale walio madarakani kutekeleza tamko hilo kwa vitendo na waachene kabisa na tabia ya kukamata watu kiholela na kuwasweka korokoroni.Tamko la Haki za binadamu la Umoja wa Mataifa lilipitishwa na Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa mwaka 1948.
Often the name of an organisation gives you a good idea about what it stands for. The name LGBTQ+ Founders does not do that, so when we from East meets West got to know Ignacio Nietocarvajal and Kristaps Krafte, the co-founders of this organisation, they needed to clear the fog in our minds but very quickly we became quite enthusiastic about this unique initiative that fills a gap in ways of supporting new LGBTIQ initiatives. We also realised that we had as organisation a lot in common! Not only do both of our organisations believe in community, support and influence through our actions, each of us is quite active in a challenging business environment, and who want to support the LGBTIQ communities in their own field of excellence. LGBTQ+ Founders is a community devoted to LGBTQ+ founders, investors, supporters & friends, to share solutions and successfully deal with all kinds of challenges they encounter. You are curious about this new initiative and want to know more about this offer? Listen to our latest East meets West SPOTLIGHT SERIES released at the occasion of the International Human Rights Day. Did you know that the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights will be celebrated only next year, on December 10th 2023? Ahead of this milestone, starting on this year's Human Rights Day United Nations will launch a year-long campaign to showcase the UDHR by focusing on its legacy, relevance and activism.
Guests featured in this episode: Charles Taylor, one of the most preeminent contemporary philosophers of our times. He is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at McGill University in Montreal. He was Fellow of All Souls College and Professor of Social and Political Theory at Oxford University. His remarkably vast oeuvre includes landmark monographs on Hegel, social theory, religion, language, and multiculturalism. Among his books let me mention Sources of the Self: The Making of Modern Identity (1989), Multiculturalism and the Politics of Recognition (1992), or A Secular Age (2007) which have decisively shaped contemporary debates in their respective fields. His latest book, co-authored with Craig Calhoun and Dilip Gaonkar is called Degenerations of Democracy. GlossaryWhat is the murder of George Floyd?(08:51 or p.3 in the transcript)On May 25, 2020, white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd, a Black man, by kneeling on his neck for almost 10 minutes. The death, recorded by bystanders, touched off what may have been the largest protest movement in U.S. history and a nationwide reckoning on race and policing. After video of the incident was posted on Facebook, protests began almost immediately in Minneapolis and quickly spread across the nation. Demonstrators chanting “Black Lives Matter” and “I Can't Breathe” took to the streets from coast to coast, and police departments around the country responded at times with riot-control tactics. By early June, protests were so widespread that over 200 American cities had imposed curfews and half of the United States had activated the National Guard. Marches continued and spread throughout June, despite the restrictions on gathering during the COVID-19 pandemic and militarized resistance from federal and local law enforcement. More than 2,000 cities and towns in all 50 states saw some form of demonstration in the weeks after Floyd's death, as well as major cities across the globe: source What is the Hungarian Revolution of 1956?(13:06 or p.4 in the transcript)Hungarian Revolution was a popular uprising in Hungary in 1956, following a speech by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in which he attacked the period of Joseph Stalin's rule. Encouraged by the new freedom of debate and criticism, a rising tide of unrest and discontent in Hungary broke out into active fighting in October 1956. Rebels won the first phase of the revolution, and Imre Nagy became premier, agreeing to establish a multiparty system. On November 1, 1956, he declared Hungarian neutrality and appealed to the United Nations for support, but Western powers were reluctant to risk a global confrontation. On November 4 the Soviet Union invaded Hungary to stop the revolution, and Nagy was executed for treason in 1958. Nevertheless, Stalinist-type domination and exploitation did not return, and Hungary thereafter experienced a slow evolution toward some internal autonomy: source What is the Ukrainian refugee crisis?(15:16 or p.4 in the transcript)The ongoing Ukrainian refugee crisis began in February 2022 immediately after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. At present, around 8 million of Ukrainians fled the country as Russia indiscriminately targeted civilian populations with rockets and artillery strikes. By late March some four million Ukrainians had fled the fighting; this represented Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II. The overwhelming majority would find safety in Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. 90% of the refugees are women and children as Ukrainian men between 18 and 60 are banned from leaving the country: sourceWhat is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?(18:13 or p.5 in the transcript)Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), foundational document of international human rights law. It has been referred to as humanity's Magna Carta by Eleanor Roosevelt, who chaired the United Nations (UN) Commission on Human Rights that was responsible for the drafting of the document. After minor changes it was adopted unanimously—though with abstentions from the Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR), Czechoslovakia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian SSR, and Yugoslavia—by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948 (now celebrated annually as Human Rights Day), as a “common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations.” The French jurist René Cassin was originally recognized as the principal author of the UDHR. It is now well established, however, that, although no individual can claim ownership of this document, John Humphrey, a Canadian professor of law and the UN Secretariat's Human Rights Director, authored its first draft. Also instrumental in the drafting of the UDHR were Roosevelt; Chang Peng-chun, a Chinese playwright, philosopher, and diplomat; and Charles Habib Malik, a Lebanese philosopher and diplomat: source Democracy in Question? is brought to you by:• Central European University: CEU• The Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy in Geneva: AHCD• The Podcast Company: Novel Follow us on social media!• Central European University: @CEU• Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy in Geneva: @AHDCentreSubscribe to the show.

“Skeptic” today usually means someone who doubts the truth of religious and other supernatural or “paranormal” beliefs, typically on rationalist grounds. (‘Skeptic' also has a special philosophical meaning: someone who rejects or is skeptical with regard to all claims to knowledge). “Secularists” believe that laws and public institutions (for example, the education system) should be neutral as between alternative religions and beliefs. Almost all humanists are secularists, but religious believers may also take a secularist position which calls for freedom of belief, including the right to change belief and not to believe. Secularists seek to ensure that persons and organizations are neither privileged nor disadvantaged by virtue of their religion or lack of it. They believe secular laws – those that apply to all citizens – should be the product of a democratic process, and should not be determined, or unduly influenced, by religious leaders or religious texts. The word “secularism” was once used to describe a non-religious worldview more generally (sometimes described in similar terms to humanism) but this original meaning is very old-fashioned and has fallen completely out of use. All human rights are indivisible and interdependent. This means that one set of rights cannot be enjoyed fully without the other. For example, making progress in civil and political rights makes it easier to exercise economic, social and cultural rights. Similarly, violating economic, social and cultural rights can negatively affect many other rights. The principle of universality of human rights is the cornerstone of international human rights law. This means that we are all equally entitled to our human rights. This principle, as first emphasized in the UDHR, is repeated in many international human rights conventions, declarations, and resolutions. Human rights are inalienable. They should not be taken away, except in specific situations and according to due process. For example, the right to liberty may be restricted if a person is found guilty of a crime by a court of law. “Freethinker” is an old-fashioned term, popular in the nineteenth century, used by those who reject authority in matters of belief, especially political and religious beliefs. It was a very popular term in the 19th century and is still used in different languages in some European countries by non-religious organizations to describe themselves." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Listen and Learn about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 22: Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality. This episode features an interview with Harold D'Souza, President of Eyes Open International. Harold compares the Social Security program in the United States with that of India. According to UN statistics in 2016, 55% of the world's population or 4 billion people did not have any form of social protection. Harold shares his philosophy on “social kindness” and how citizens can help each other realize this human right.
Cyberpolitik #1: France’s Influence Operations Doctrine— Prateek WaghreIn October, France announced a new doctrine for Information Warfare. This development has received surprisingly little attention in English-language discourse over the last three weeks. It was initially reported by Francesco Busseletti, who highlighted: Objective: to counter the growing spread of fake news and disinformation, aimed at weakening the image of Paris and weakening its armed forces, especially abroad such as the Sahel. Considering that its adversaries no longer hesitate to use the weapon of social media against its military operations, France intends to “win the war before the war”. Its strategy boils down to “being on the offensive” …The Defence Minister Florence Parly’s speech also highlighted this aspect of the “war before the war”. Here’s an excerpt from a google-translated version of her speech.“When used wisely, the weapon of information allows you to win without fighting.”What does the doctrine say?The doctrine identifies six characteristics of the “informational layer of cyberspace”:Contraction of space and time.Ability to conceal/falsify origin due to anonymity.Difficulty with erasing information since it can be duplicated, moved, and re-used without the original context.Any individual can produce and broadcast information. (The minister’s speech seems to have gone as far as stating these individual and anonymous actors are at par with media organisations)The point is that social networks have an equalizing power: on Twitter, the voice of an anonymous user counts as much as that of a major media whose essential function is to inform (sic).Continuous innovation such as deepfakes, AI, AR/VR, etc.The presence of operators who impose their own regulations. A challenge for law enforcement as the space is ‘dematerialised.It defines two types of actors that threaten armed forces:Noting that information war is already an everyday reality for the military, it goes on to say that ‘mastery’ in the information field is now a pre-condition for ‘operational superiority’. And that cyberspace offers opportunities to create effects in ‘both information and physical environments’. The document is peppered with many important statements about Lutte Informatique D’influence (L2I).Definition:military operations conducted in the informational layer of cyberspace to detect, characterize and counter attacks, support StratCom, provide information or (perform) deception, independently or in combination with other operations.L2I stands at “the confluence of cyber defence and influence”. And that it requires skills in common with LID (defensive cyber operations) and LIO (offensive cyber operations).L2I offers opportunities for ‘intelligence gathering’ and ‘deception' operations’. (The minister’s speech defined some boundaries explicitly)the French armies will not conduct an information operation (within) the national territory. The French armies … will not destabilize a foreign state through information actions that would target, for example, its electoral processes.As future challenges, the doctrine identifies the need to build skills and tools, as well as cooperation with firms that specialise in the field and coalitions with allies to coordinate responses.Operationally, this would fall within the purview of the Chief of Staff of the armed forces, who would further rely on the Cyber Defense Commander (COMCYBER) and specialised military units.Two more questionsFor France to come out and explicitly state its doctrine is undoubtedly a significant step. But this also raises two broader questions.What should other democracies do?What will DCN operators do?Camille Francois rightly points out that it raises the question of what democracies can/should do in this space and the possibility of gaining a better understanding of techniques used by countries not named - Russia, China, or Iran.Thomas Rid, in his book Active Measures, argues that liberal democracies cannot be good at disinformation. “For liberal democracies in particular, disinformation represents a double threat: being at the receiving end of active measures will undermine democratic institutions—and giving in to the temptation to design and deploy them will have the same result. It is impossible to excel at disinformation and at democracy at the same time. The stronger and the more robust a democratic body politic, the more resistant to disinformation it will be—and the more reluctant to deploy and optimize disinformation. Weakened democracies, in turn, succumb more easily to the temptations of active measures.”Then, there’s the question of Digital Communication Networks which have become the battlefield for such operations. As Lukasz Olenik notes in his overview of the French doctrine, Facebook has taken action against Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour it identified originating from a network with links to the French Military in December 2020:We found this activity as part of our internal investigation into suspected coordinated inauthentic behavior in Francophone Africa. Although the people behind it attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation found links to individuals associated with French military.Now that France has explicitly stated its doctrine (and maybe others will follow), will platforms act more aggressively, considering they are already under fire for either enabling or not doing enough to mitigate the fallout from influence operations? Or, will there be wink-wink-nudge-nudge arrangements between them and a particular set of states?Note: Google Translate was used for French to English translations.If you enjoy this newsletter please consider taking our 12 week Graduate Certificate Programmes in Technology & Policy, Public Policy, Defence & Foreign Affairs and Health & Life Sciences.

With new and emerging technologies cropping up, there is an increased need for chipsets with increasing computational power and capabilities. Technologies like Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks, which are part of the AI ecosystem, have a tremendous workload that cannot be fulfilled by traditional chipsets. AI algorithms work on parallel processing or parallelism, which is the ability to multitask and simultaneously run different computational processes. AI chips, in recent years, have tried to incorporate the needs of AI algorithms into chipsets that can be used both in the cloud as well as at network edges (in smartphones, tablets, and other consumer devices).The diverse applications of AI chips have increased its role in the global economy with companies from various industries all looking to maximise the benefits of AI chip technology. Robotics and autonomous driving, for example, need AI algorithms for efficient and effective working, with the computational power of the chipsets needing incredibly fast processing speeds. This has evolved the role of chipsets with AI capabilities from only being used in the cloud or servers to being used in consumer products at the network edges. However, applications such as Biometrics and Image Recognition need AI chips in the cloud or servers for maintaining a large amount of data. The use of AI chips remains integral in data centers which eventually reduces operational costs and improves information management. Why They MatterThe market for AI chips has consistently increased in the last decade with AI chipsets projected to account for 22% of the global AI revenue by 2022. A strong compounded annual growth rate of 54% has been projected for the AI chips market with technologically advanced regions like the Americas and Europe dominating the market in the future. AI chips also rely on a variety of companies, ranging from smartphone manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, to traditional chip designers like Qualcomm and MediaTek, to intellectual property (IP) license providers like ARM. With most of the major semiconductor companies across the world in the business, AI chips look to be the next big thing for the industry. Semiconductor companies have already thrown their hats in the AI ring with the development of advanced AI chips like Graphical Processing Units (GPUs). NVIDIA has a dedicated application programming language called CUDA used in parallel computing on GPUs. Other targeted AI chips like Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are developed for specific applications of AI technology. Companies like Microsoft and Google have also invested in the manufacture of these chipsets keeping in mind specific needs such as the speech processing unit of Google Assistant.With increasing global economic revenue and a large market ripe for capture, the presence of China in the AI chips has also been increasing. AI chip funding activity in China has been driven by the hope of creating industry-leading capabilities in machine learning, deep compression, pruning, and system-level optimization for neural networks. Chinese technology companies like Alibaba and Huawei have invested heavily in the manufacture of AI chips for smartphones and other devices. Some Bitcoin mining equipment manufacturers are also getting into the AI optimization game. With domestic AI research in China still playing catch up to the capabilities of Western countries like the United States, these local manufacturing companies have relied on tweaking existing algorithms to create modified AI models. But increased investments along with state support and financing, similar to the semiconductor industry in China, has made AI chips an important technology worth pursuing in technologically adept states. The race for the domination of the global AI chips markets is something to watch out for in the very near future. Cyberpolitik #2: Are Norms Possible?— Sapni G KSince the last edition of this newsletter, much has happened on cyberspace and international action for establishing norms for its operation and regulation. The United States of America joined the Paris Call for Trust and Security in the cyberspace. The 2018 Call led by the French, proposes a multi-stakeholder model for laying down norms for activity in cyberspace during peacetime. This includes, but is not limited to cybersecurity and the concerns of systemic harms to individuals and critical infrastructure. The Call details nine principles that are open for states, local governments, companies, and civil society organizations to support. Protect individuals and infrastructureProtect the internet Defend electoral processes Defend intellectual propertyNon-proliferation Lifecycle security Cyber hygiene No private hack back International norms They incorporate norms of international law, including the ideas put forth by the UDHR, customary international law, and state laws on the governance of information and communication technologies. This operates as a non-binding, non-enforceable set of principles that are to guide the supporters of the Call and their actions. Most major US tech companies including Microsoft, Google, Facebook Inc (now Meta) are already supporters of the Call and have engaged closely with the various associated working groups. However, the US officially supporting the Call signals that it is no longer holding back in international norm-setting in cyberspace. This could also be read as a furtherance of the USA’s reinvigorated interest in cyber norms, both in peacetime and military applications, as evidenced by recent documents such as the 2021 Interim National Security Strategic Guidance and the recent report by the Department of Defense. However, it is noteworthy that the US has not yet made any concrete steps to sign up to the Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace, an effort led by research institutes in the Netherlands and Singapore with the support of the French, Dutch, and Singapore governments, which is also engaged in drawing out international norms for cyberspace during peacetime and armed conflict. China, Russia, Israel, and Iran are other major actors in cyberspace that have not supported the call yet. This is indicative of the fissures in international norm-setting on cyberspace, particularly when China is marching ahead creating a regulatory environment that can have ripple effects internationally. India has not officially supported the Call, but several Indian enterprises and the Karnataka Centre of Excellence of Cybersecurity have joined the Call. It is a proposal worth consideration for the Indian government. An early head start can give India a definitive say in the development of doctrines as well as import legislative principles that can be beneficial to the many millions of Indians who go online every day. Siliconpolitik #2: US-China-Chips — It’s Complicated— Pranay KotasthaneThree recent news reports have turned the world's attention back to the links between the US and China in the semiconductor domain. Until now, the commonplace understanding is that the US is focused on constraining China's progress in the semiconductor domain, a weak link in China's otherwise impressive technology stack. These news reports contest this narrative by suggesting the constraints don't seem to be working, as many US investors and firms are still flocking to China.WSJ reports that between 2017 and 2020, many US companies, including Intel, have invested in Chinese design companies. The number of deals (58) has more than doubled when compared to the 2013-2016 period.Bloomberg reports Intel wanted to start a manufacturing plant in Chengdu, but the White House officials discouraged it.These reports come on the heels of another big claim in mid-October, when Alibaba unveiled a 5nm server chip, making many heads turn. This news seemed to indicate that China's pursuit of semiconductor self-sufficiency is bearing fruit despite the geopolitical headwinds.Connecting the DotsIntel seems to be interested in China a lot. While the WSJ report showed that Intel is among the active investors in a Chinese Electronic Design Automation (EDA) firm, the Bloomberg report points out that Intel also wants to build a fab in Chengdu. It’s notable that both these stages of the semiconductor value chain are precisely where the US had planned to restrict Chinese access during the Trump administration. Reportedly, the US NSA Jake Sullivan and a few senators, want to change the investment screening methods to prevent such deals in the future.Why are US companies still rushing to China?The supply side: The Chinese government's incentives are 'crowding in' investments from Chinese firms and global semiconductor players alike.The demand side: A significant number of customers of chip makers are based in China - laptop manufacturers, phone manufacturers, servers etc. Companies still want a piece of that pie because homegrown alternatives in China are not enough, yet. It's a mouth-watering market, still.My initial assessmentThe number of investment deals between 2017-20 (58) doesn't sound that big in the overall scheme of things. They also mostly appear to be in chip design firms. What this does suggest is like many industrial policies, there is a crowding-in of capital. When a player the size of the Chinese government throws big money at a problem (starting the Chip Fund in 2014), this is expected to happen. There will be national champions and duds, both. The question really is, how long such subsidies can be sustained.The time period 2017-2020 suggests that the US companies rushed into China before the Trump administration tightened the export controls.Intel's investment in a Chinese EDA firm and a possible fab is indeed worrying. Although, the tone of the Chengdu fab proposal suggests it is more a tactic to get the CHIPS Act passed in the US, which will guarantee big subsidies for the likes of Intel back home. The report had no numbers, or plans, just a few unnamed sources.The demand side question is an important one. As long as China remains the hub for electronics Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), chip makers will find it attractive to sell their products to China. Solving this will require a plurilateral effort to move electronics manufacturing -- and not leading-edge chip manufacturing alone -- out of China.Finally, the Alibaba server chip news report has many unknowns. Unveiling a chip is different from being able to produce it. Manufacturing at 5nm is not possible in China. They must rely on TSMC (and now Samsung) for this purpose. Moreover, the processor IP is still ARM, something that Alibaba hasn't been able to displace.The reportage of the kind WSJ, Bloomberg is putting out is indicative of the change in mindset in the US. A few years ago, no one would have even cared about such investments. These are front-page news items now.I expect some more export controls and more subsidies from the US government, both.Our Reading Menu1.

One of the most lasting and valuable gifts that America has provided the world was creating a system of government that recognized that all human beings possess unalienable rights and that governments should not violate these rights. Under the leadership of Eleanor Roosevelt, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) expounding this vision to the world. The UDHR was an extraordinary consensus among representatives from diverse countries, political systems, cultures, languages, and religions. However, this remarkable consensus has come under increasing challenge by those who seek to reinterpret and expand the number of “rights” to encompass matters never envisioned in 1948. Please join us for a discussion on how “new rights” and new interpretations of established rights debase and undermine unalienable rights and why the United States should restore clarity to a domestic and global conversation that has become politicized and muddled.

Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. 2. Everyone has the right to equal access to public service in his country. 3. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.

My ultimate goal is to let people know their basic rights and defend themselves if anyone including the state violates their rights. Most people in our communities don't have any idea about human rights and the laws that protect them. This ignorance results in exploitation and sufferings as the victims among us don't know how they should take legal actions against their violators. As a lawyer, human rights activist, legal researcher and mediator, I've worked with law professionals and victims. The most important thing I've observed is that most people,even the highly educated class don't have a clear understanding of human rights and access to justice. They become more vulnerable when they try to settle their issues or try to get access to court system. Since they are ignorant of the laws and rights, even law practitioners take the opportunity and exploit them! That's why I want to share Domestic and International Laws, Treaties and Conventions with my listeners and promote human rights and justice to create global awareness. I will be sharing my research-based analyses and information from authentic website s in my episodes so that my listeners can understand the contexts and truths!

Free Speech vs Hate Speech1st amendmentHate Speech: abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice against a particular group, especially on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation.Freedom Of Speech: the right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint.“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment. The most recent Supreme Court case on the issue was in 2017, when the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no "hate speech" exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment.Freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the UDHR states that "everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". The version of Article 19 in the ICCPR later amends this by stating that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "[f]or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals".[3Categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment include obscenity (as determined by the Miller test), fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct,[10] speech that incites imminent lawless action, and regulation of commercial speech such as advertising. Within these limited areas, other limitations on free speech balance rights to free speech and other rights, such as rights for authors over their works (copyright), protection from imminent or potential violence against particular persons, restrictions on the use of untruths to harm others (slander and libel), and communications while a person is in prison. When a speech restriction is challenged in court, it is presumed invalid and the government bears the burden of convincing the court that the restriction is constitutional.'

Freedom of thought, conscience and religion is not only an unalienable, fundamental right; it is essential to the protection of all human rights. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) cites man’s endowment with both conscience and reason as evidence of human dignity, the basis of universal human rights.However, in the seven decades since the United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the UDHR, the human rights movement has come unmoored from its foundation in natural law. This has led to two dangerous trends: 1) the proliferation and devaluation of human rights and 2) conflicts between fundamental rights like religious freedom and newly asserted rights based on membership in special identity groups.For civil society leaders, government officials and victims who seek to strengthen protection of all human rights; restoring the natural law foundation of the right to thought, conscience and religion is essential.

The irony of the Palestinian experience is that in the very same year that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was “adopted and proclaimed” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights., n.d., p. 1) by the United Nations, so too the State of Israel was proclaimed and recognized as a sovereign member of the world of nations. The year, 1948, is momentous in that it is the anniversary of both the UDHR and the State of Israel; and in that year, the United Nations was a nascent international institution with lofty goals. According to the United Nations Charter, the United Nations is dedicated to four primary purposes: to maintain peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation in solving international problems, and be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations ("Charter, United Nations, Chapter I, Purposes and Principles," n.d.). The Preamble of the United Nations Charter, signed in 1945, foreshadows the creation of the UDHR by stating that “the peoples of the United Nations determined to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small” ("Charter, United Nations, Preamble," n.d.). Similarly, when the State of Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, it proclaimed: it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. ("Declaration of Israel's Independence 1948," n.d.) Thus, in 1948, just three years after the creation of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed and the State of Israel proclaimed its independence, and both were consistent with the United Nation’s founding principles. These three institutions became historically linked and challenged from their very beginnings.
Ethics-Talk: The Greatest Good of Man is Daily to Converse About Virtue
We continue to discuss the “development clause” of Article 26(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which states that "Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms". As we will discuss, the development clause should be read in conjunction with Article 1 of the UDHR which states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” How is "full development of the human personality" connected with “reason,” “conscience” and “the spirit of brotherhood”? Why is education aimed at "full development" so important as to be classified as a human right? In order to shed light on some possible answers to these questions, we will turn to Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 1892 address to the U.S. Judiciary, The Solitude of Self.
