Menschenrechte im Spannungsfeld marktwirtschaftlicher Interessen
by Corinna von Reutern-KulenkampCorinna von Reutern-Kulenkamp geht ausgehend von der Globalisierung und dem steigenden Wettbewerbsdruck der Frage nach, ob und wie transnationale Unternehmen menschenrechtskonform und zugleich unternehmerisch handeln können und sollen. Dabei kontrastiert die Autorin die moralischen Anforderungen anhand des Konsequentialismus mit den Handlungsbedingungen der Unternehmen durch das Völkerrecht. Auf der Grundlage praktischer Fallbeispiele erarbeitet sie einen Lösungsansatz, der das Spannungsverhältnis für Unternehmen schrittweise auflösen soll und führt damit Markt, Moral und Recht zu einer innovativen Synthese.
Menschenrechte in der Entwicklungspolitik: Extraterritoriale Pflichten, der Menschenrechtsansatz und seine Umsetzung
by Léonie Jana WagnerLéonie Jana Wagner fragt in diesem Buch, was es für die Konzipierung, Umsetzung und Bewertung von Entwicklungspolitik bedeutet, wenn Menschenrechte als ihre Basis betrachtet werden. Sie zeigt unter Rückgriff auf das Konzept der extraterritorialen Staatenpflichten, dass sich bereits aus den menschenrechtlichen Grundlagendokumenten ein Gebot ableiten lässt, Entwicklungszusammenarbeit menschenrechtsbasiert zu gestalten. Dennoch dienen Menschenrechtsansätze erst in jüngerer Zeit als offizielle Richtschnur für verschiedene Geber. Am Beispiel von UNDP und der deutschen Entwicklungspolitik offenbart sich jedoch, dass deren Umsetzung partiell bleibt. Neben Implementierungsschwierigkeiten „technischer“ Art deutet dies auch auf tiefer gehende Normkonflikte hin.
Menschenrechte und humanitäres Völkerrecht - eine Verhältnisbestimmung: Frieden und Recht • Band 4 (Gerechter Frieden)
Die Menschenrechte und das humanitäre Völkerrecht haben eines gemeinsam: das Ziel des Schutzes und der Absicherung der Menschen. Das Verhältnis zwischen ihnen ist dabei nach wie vor umstritten und nicht abschließend geklärt. Hierfür gibt es vielfältige Gründe. Sie reichen von der geschichtlichen Entwicklung beider Rechtsgebiete über rechtsdogmatisch voneinander abweichende Ansichten bis hin zu Fragen des Verhältnisses im engeren Sinne. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes nähern sich aus verschiedenen disziplinären Perspektiven der Zuordnung der beiden Rechtskorpora und ihrer jeweiligen Geltungsbereiche an.
Menschenrechte und Menschenwürde: Vier thematische Einblicke. Vadian Lectures Band 5 (Sozialtheorie)
by Mathias Lindenau Marcel Meier KressigMenschenrechte - und mit ihnen die Menschenwürde - sind weltweit in den Verfassungen zahlreicher Staaten verankert. Und dennoch werden sie immer wieder relativiert, sodass ihre Um- und Durchsetzung selbst in der Demokratie - dessen Grundlage die Menschenrechte darstellen - nicht mehr sichergestellt werden kann. Wirken sich direktdemokratische Entscheide unter Umständen als menschenrechtlich problematisch aus? Wie sollen wir mit humanitären Interventionen umgehen? Wie kann der Begriff der Menschenwürde begründet werden - und wie lassen sich Menschenrechte global absichern? Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich diesen Fragen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven.
Menschenrechte und Soziale Arbeit im Schatten des Nationalsozialismus: Der lange Weg der Reformen
by Annette Eberle Uwe Kaminsky Luise Behringer Ursula UnterkoflerDas Buch hat die Aufarbeitung der Gewalt- und Missbrauchserfahrungen in Einrichtungen der Sozialen Arbeit in Deutschland zum Thema. Aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive geht es um die Frage Zentral wie weit eine Aufarbeitung innerhalb der Profession erfolgt ist. Welche Konsequenzen ergeben sich für Betroffene und Einrichtungen? Wie schlägt sich die Aufarbeitung im Menschenrechtsdiskurs und Praxis-Konzepten nieder? Es geht noch immer darum, Öffentlichkeit herzustellen, wie auch diese zweite Auflage zeigt.
Menschenrechtlicher Gleichheitsschutz (Beiträge zum ausländischen öffentlichen Recht und Völkerrecht #223)
by Tilmann AltwickerDer UN-Menschenrechtsausschuss und der Europäische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte sind mehr denn je gewillt, Fragen der menschenrechtlichen Gleichheit zu behandeln. Damit werden lokale Gleichheitsprobleme internationalisiert und zugleich subtilere Formen der Ungleichbehandlung zum Gegenstand der völkerrechtlichen Rechtsprechung. In der bisher einzigen deutschsprachigen Monographie zum Thema werden die Entwicklungen der letzten 10 Jahre aufgearbeitet und die Konturen einer Dogmatik des menschenrechtlichen Gleichheitsrechts aufgezeigt.
Menschenrechtsverletzungen im internationalen Wirtschaftsrecht: Eine Untersuchung anhand der Wertschöpfungskette von Mobiltelefonen (Business, Economics, and Law)
by Katharina HagemannKatharina Hagemann zeigt beispielhaft anhand des Mobiltelefons, wie es in globalen Wertschöpfungsketten zu Menschenrechtsverletzungen verschiedenster Art und verschiedensten Ausmaßes kommen kann. Die Autorin zerlegt die globale Wertschöpfungskette des Mobiltelefons und untersucht sie umfassend auf Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Dabei stellt sie flächendeckend permanente Verstöße gegen nationales wie internationales Recht fest. Sie erläutert exemplarisch zivilrechtliche Ansprüche Betroffener in Ländern wie der Demokratischen Republik Kongo, China und Ghana. Im Hinblick auf die negativen Untersuchungsergebnisse hinterfragt die Autorin kritisch die Rolle und Verantwortung von Wirtschaft, Politik und Verbrauchern.
Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Zusammenhang mit wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten von transnationalen Unternehmen (Interdisciplinary Studies in Human Rights #2)
by Sofia MassoudDieses Buch analysiert, ob und wie transnationale Unternehmen durch rechtliche Bindungen effektiv zur Einhaltung elementarer Menschenrechte verpflichtet werden können. Darüber hinaus werden auch die gesellschaftspolitischen Aussichten möglicher Strategien reflektiert. Das Buch zielt zwar auf alle Arten von Menschenrechten. Der Untersuchungsgegenstand ist jedoch bewusst auf die Kernarbeitsnormen der ILO beschränkt. Das Werk berücksichtigt gesellschaftsrechtlich verbundene Unternehmen ebenso wie die Möglichkeit einer Regulierung zum Schutz vor Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Zusammenhang mit wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten von Unternehmen in globalen Lieferketten. Das Buch untersucht privatrechtliche und völkerrechtliche Strategien. Anhand ausgewählter Ansätze kommt die Autorin zu dem Ergebnis, dass keine rechtliche Notwendigkeit für den gegenwärtigen Zustand eines defizitären Schutzes vor Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Zusammenhang mit wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten von Unternehmen besteht. Die Autorin legt dar, dass Defizite der Diskussion auch darin bestehen, dass regelmäßig eine Reflexion der Durchsetzungschancen und -möglichkeiten der an sich notwendigen rechtspolitischen Strategien fehlt.
Menschenwürde in der Bioethik
by Nikolaus KnoepfflerWas bedeutet „Menschenwürde"? Wie lässt sie sich begründen? Wem kommt sie zu? Wie lässt sich dieses Prinzip gesellschaftlich durchsetzen und auf welche bioethischen Konfliktfälle, insbesondere Konfliktfälle am Lebensanfang, Lebensende und im Rahmen gentechnischer Eingriffe am Menschen lässt es sich anwenden? Dies sind die Fragen, die hinter der vorliegenden Untersuchung stehen. Ihr wesentliches Ziel besteht darin, Lösungen und Lösungsalternativen für diese Fragen zu entwickeln und dadurch den gesellschaftlichen Dialog zu versachlichen.
Menschenwürde und Spätabbruch (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #38)
by Anja Beatrice DoldererSchwangerschaftsabbrüche, die zu einem Zeitpunkt stattfinden, zu dem die Föten bereits potentiell extrauterin lebensfähig sind, stoßen in der Gesellschaft auf Empörung. Eine Selektion behinderter Föten wird befürchtet, da Auslöser eines Spätabbruchs häufig ein pathologischer Befund in der Pränataldiagnostik ist. Am 13. Mai 2009 beschloss der Bundestag nach langjährigen Debatten Änderungen des Schwangerschaftskonfliktgesetzes und flankierende Maßnahmen. Die Arbeit überprüft, ob der Gesetzgeber durch die geltende Rechtslage und Rechtswirklichkeit seiner verfassungsrechtlichen Schutzpflicht gegenüber dem nasciturus, die in der Menschenwürde und dem Lebensrecht wurzelt, in ausreichendem Maße nachkommt.
Menschliche Sicherheit und gerechter Frieden: Politisch-ethische Herausforderungen • Band 4 (Gerechter Frieden)
by Ines-Jacqueline Werkner Bernd OberdorferDas Konzept der menschlichen Sicherheit hat in nur kurzer Zeit eine hohe internationale Resonanz erfahren und Eingang in die Politik gefunden. Auch die Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland macht sich dieses Konzept zu eigen; für sie stellt es einen zentralen Bezugspunkt und wichtigen Schritt auf dem Weg zur Verwirklichung eines gerechten Friedens dar. Dabei ist dieses Konzept nicht unumstritten: Befürworter sehen in der Human Security einen notwendigen Paradigmenwechsel im Sicherheitsdiskurs: weg vom Staat hin zum Individuum. Gegner dieses Ansatzes hingegen bringen zentrale Kritikpunkte in Anschlag: von der definitorischen Unschärfe des Konzeptes über seine konzeptionelle Breite bis hin zu der Gefahr, eine interventionistische Politik zu befördern. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Kritik untersucht der Band die Chancen und Hindernisse des Konzeptes menschlicher Sicherheit und reflektiert sein Verhältnis zum gerechten Frieden.

Mental Capacity Law, Sexual Relationships, and Intimacy (Law, Society, Policy)
by Karen Brennan Andrea Hollomotz Alex Ruck Keene Hannah Morgan Ralph Sandland Claire Bates Neil Allen Jaime Lindsey Allegra Enefer Alan Cusack Becky Squires Oluwatoyin Sorinmade Carmelle Peisah Lorraine CurrieQuestions as to the mental capacity of an individual to consent to sex are an increasingly important aspect of legal scholarship and professional practice for those working in care. Recent case law has added new layers of complexity, requiring that a person must be able to understand that the other person needs to consent and can withdraw that consent. While this has been welcomed for asserting the importance of the interpersonal dynamics of sex, it has significant implications for practice and for the day-to-day lives of people with cognitive impairments. This collection brings together academics, practitioners and organizations to consider the challenges posed by the current legal framework, and future directions for law, policy and practice.

Mental Health: Proceedings of the Fourth Trans-Disciplinary Symposium on Philosophy and Medicine Held at Galveston, Texas, May 16–18, 1976 (Philosophy and Medicine #4)
by H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr. S. F. SpickerThe concept 'health' is ambiguous [18,9, 11]. The concept 'mental health' is even more so. 'Health' compasses senses of well-being, wholeness, and sound ness that mean more than the simple freedom from illness - a fact appreci ated in the World Health Organization's definition of health as more than the absence of disease or infirmity [7]. The wide range of viewpoints of the con tributors to this volume attests to the scope of issues placed under the rubric 'mental health. ' These papers, presented at the Fourth Symposium on Philos ophy and Medicine, were written and discussed within a broad context of interests concerning mental health. Moreover, in their diversity these papers point to the many descriptive, evaluative, and, in fact, performative functions of statements concerning mental health. Before introducing the substance of these papers in any detail, I want to indicate the profound commerce between philosophical and psychological ideas in theories of mental health and disease. This will be done in part by a consideration of some conceptual developments in the history of psychiatry, as well as through an analysis of some of the functions of the notions of mental illness and health. 'Mental health' lays a special stress on the wholeness of human intuition, emotion, thought, and action.
Mental Health: A Philosophical Analysis (International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine #9)
by P.-A. TenglandMental health issues are a growing concern in our modern Western society. This is part of an increasing interest in questions about health, quality of life, personal development, and self-fulfilment. However, most of what has been written so far has had its focus on mental illness or disease, the negative side of the coin, and few attempts have been made to discuss more thoroughly, from a philosophical perspective, what it is to be mentally healthy. The present book is such an attempt. The author's aim is to analyze, philosophically, the notion of `positive mental health'. In so doing a number of ideas found in the literature are presented and discussed. The author also raises some important methodological questions. The final result of the analysis is a formal and a material reconstruction of the concept of "positive mental health". The book will be of value to all professionals within the health care sector, in particular to psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and psychotherapists. It will also be of interest to philosophers and social scientists working with health questions.
Mental Health and Human Rights: The Challenges of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to Mental Health Care (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Norman Sartorius Neeraj GillThis book discusses the challenges arising in the application of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in the provision of mental health care by presenting the views of the parties most directly concerned – people with lived experience of mental illness, their carers, psychiatrists, legal experts, public health workers and planners. Rather than talking about theory, the representatives of these groups express their views in relation to a series of case stories related to mental health in different countries and cultures. In addition to the presentation of views and arguments related to the case stories presented, there are descriptions of the application of the CRPD on mental health legislation in China, Egypt, Fiji, France, Georgia, Germany, Mexico and Scotland - countries differing in their legal tradition, income and level of resources invested into mental health care.
