Introduction. There is no water-tight division between different categories of human rights. In particular, it is important to note that although the project of transforming the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights into treaty form culminated in separate Covenants including, on the one hand, civil and political Rights and, on the other hand, economic, social and cultural Rights, it did not r

Introduction The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes all categories of human rights in one and the same instrument. The same approach has been followed in many subsequent human rights treaties, including, for example, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter). However, the two Covenants of 1966 – the Internatio

This chapter describes access to justice before International Human Rights bodies, focusing on the UN Human Rights Committee and the European Court of Human Rights. It also discusses the two human rights treaties, the requirement of exhausting domestic remedies, and issues of standing before the Human Rights Committee (HRC) and the European Court of Human Rights. One dimension of the effectiveness

The rise of globalisation and the persistence of global poverty are straining the territorial paradigm of human rights. This book asks whether States possess extraterritorial obligations under existing international human rights law to respect and ensure economic, social and cultural rights and how far those duties extend. Taking a departure point in theory and practice, the book is the first of i

This chapter discusses the relationship between the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) and human rights treaties. It identifies alternative approaches in the issue and discusses their relative strengths and weaknesses. The positivist approach, the dogmatic approach, and the fragmentation approach to the relationship between the VCLT and human rights treaties were rejected. Instead, th

Scholars have identified challenges to protecting individuals from discrimination in contexts where organisations deploy artificial intelligence decision-making processes. While scholarship on 'digital discrimination' is growing, scholars have paid less attention to the impact of the use of artificial intelligence decision-making processes on persons with disabilities. This article posits that whi

This paper addresses the use of narrative in interdisciplinary professional education as a device for the reciprocal transfer of knowledge, insights, or methods between persons and knowledge domains, but also for their integration and transformation into burgeoning professional judgement. The paper considers an elective course for engineering students, in which emerging technology ethics are appro

The paper reports on preliminary findings from a case study of an autobiography-based course element included in the social work professional education program of a Swedish university. In the studied course element, the aim was for autobiographies to provide a platform and catalyst for student reflections on client perspectives as well as for reflexivity in relation to students’ own frames of refe

Research topic/aim:The purpose of this paper is to contribute empirically to the ongoing academic discussion about the meaningful implementation of narrative art as a pedagogical tool in professional ethics education (PEE). In the present work, meaningfulness is conceived of as connectedness, and narrative art includes literary fiction and autobiography. Research questions are:How do students in e

De senaste 20 åren har humanioraintegrering i professionsutbildning varit på frammarsch i Sverige, både som forskningsfält och högskolepedagogisk praktik. Detta syns bland annat på bildandet av ett antal tvärvetenskapliga centra och program med sådan integrering i fokus. Den akademiska litteraturen om humanioraintegration i professionsutbildning visar att utvecklingen i Sverige är en del av en int

This chapter analyses trajectories of contextual reconstruction of machine learning models with calibrated weights, sometimes known as pre-trained or foundation models, as they are made operational in specific settings. Through ethnographic vignettes on car detection, bird tracking, and medical technology, it underscores the importance of cooperation and negotiation among actors facing contingenci

Simulation of conflict situations for autonomous driving research is crucial for understanding and managing interactions between Automated Vehicles (AVs) and human drivers. This paper presents a set of exemplary conflict scenarios in CARLA that arise in shared autonomy settings, where both AVs and human drivers must navigate complex traffic environments. We explore various conflict situations, foc

This chapter argues that for public administration research to genuinely advance in non-Western contexts, scholars must at a minimum be familiar with, and ideally engage with, local cultural norms, traditions, and epistemes vis-à-vis their research. To that end, we offer a methodological shift towards ethnographic approaches to better understand and analyse contemporary PA practices, focusing on t

There was a widespread euphoria in the 1990s in Uzbekistan and other post-Soviet societies at the prospect that introducing Western-style public administration (PA) institutions and traditions would play a pivotal role in promoting the rule of law and democratisation. Like other newly independent post-Soviet states, Uzbekistan has become a “laboratory” for testing various global (Western) PA model
