HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH

Human rights foreign policy and the role of the United Nations

The story of the UN's human rights treaties may leave us dissatisfied. Where is the enforcement of these rights? We have a legal framework and reports from non-governmental organizations, but where is the pressure to ensure that these rights are realized in practice? What does it really mean when governments say that their foreign policy is concerned with promoting and protecting human rights? Only very rarely do governments actually use these treaties to bring international complaints against other states. Human rights in foreign policy deserve some exposition.

The idea that governments can legitimately concern themselves with the way in which another state treats its own nationals is a relatively recent innovation in international relations. The concept of non-interference in domestic affairs loomed large for much of the 20th century and was seen to foreclose meaningful human rights foreign policy.

“Since 2013, the region has witnessed a sharp increase in the numbers of refugees and migrants crossing the Mediterranean. In the first seven months of 2014, over 87,000 people arrived in Italy by sea, with the two largest groups coming from Eritrea and Syria. In an effort to reduce the risks of such journeys, in October 2013 the Italian Government launched the Mare Nostrum Operation, which has rescued over 100,000 people. Increases in arrivals have also been recorded in Greece and Spain.”

May Day/International Workers' Day: Significance, Wishes, Quotes on Labour Day

The Brief Origins of May Day

“Stimulating investment is a step in the right direction to boost job creation. Since the height of the crisis, investment in the EU-28 remains well below pre-crisis levels and is too low to make a significant dent on unemployment and under-employment. The unemployment rate, at 9.7 per cent in the third quarter of 2014, is close to 3 percentage points above the level reached in the same quarter of 2007.”

International Labour Office

 O dia do trabalhador, considerado como feriado, teve o seu início, a 1 de Maio de 1919, quando o Senado francês o proclamou, aquando do estabelecimento das oito horas de trabalho diário.No nonagésimo sexto ano da sua celebração na maioria dos países, deve-se fazer uma equação à economia mundial e à situação do emprego. Daí ser de realçar que a economia mundial continua a crescer, ainda que, registe taxas muito inferiores às anteriores à crise global de 2008 e não permita preencher as amplas rupturas laborais e sociais que surgiram.
