The right to development as a human right to an enabling environment for collective well-being
A Right to Environment-Based Approach as a New Route for Climate Litigation
Developments and Challenges of Designing National Human Rights Action Plans
Even though National Human Rights Action Plans (NHRAPs), as recommended in the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, have developed dramatically over the last three decades in more than 80 counties, there are as yet no universal standards and criteria for guidance and evaluation of NHRAPs in practice. This study aims to serve two purposes. First, adopting the general theory of human rights action planning, it explores the four key dimension…
A New Theoretical Model of the Right to Environment and its Practical Advantages
Despite significant developments at the national, regional and international levels, to recognise the right to environment as a human right, this right is still under-theorised and contested. The challenge of giving a clear substance to such a standalone right is one that must urgently be taken up. Drawing on the NIC theory, this article develops a new model of the right to environment to serve three purposes: first, to shed light on the nature, …
National Human Rights Action Planning
This book deals with human rights action planning, as a largely under-researched area, from theoretical, doctrinal, empirical, and practical perspectives in order to put forward a new account of such planning. As such, the present work provides one of the most comprehensive studies of human rights planning to date. At the theoretical level, by advancing a novel general theory of human rights planning, it offers an alternative to the traditional s…
A Networked Model of Global Governance for Implementing Human Rights
Chapter 6 examines global human rights governance architecture as it currently stands putting forward a networked model of global human rights governance as an alternative. The first section of this chapter examines the ‘five-gap problem’ in the UN human rights system which can have serious practical implications at the local, national, regional, and international levels. The second section explores a networked model of governance as a practical …
Compliance with the Obligation to Adopt a NHRAP
Part II, ‘Doctrinal Perspectives’, is structured in two chapters: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. Chapter 4, which is concerned with the state’s compliance with the obligation to adopt a National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP), addresses two sets of questions. The first section of Chapter 4 examines the question as to whether states are expected to adopt separate rights-specific action plans or just one global action plan covering all the rights (and …
Legal Status of NHRAPs in International Human Rights Law
Part II, ‘Doctrinal Perspectives’, is structured in two chapters: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. The main thrust of Chapter 3 is to unravel whether states are obliged, under international human rights law, to adopt a National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP), and if so, what is the nature and the scope of this obligation. To this end, a content analysis of all the nine core human rights conventions, General Comments, reports, and concluding observation…
Towards a General Theory of Human Rights Planning
Part I, ‘Theoretical Perspectives’, which is structured in two chapters (Chapters 1 and 2), develops a new general theory of human rights planning. This theory contains four sub-theories: 1. Contextual sub-theory 2. Substantive sub-theory 3. Procedural sub-theory 4. Analytical sub-theory. Chapter 1 is dedicated to the first sub-theory. The central thrust of this chapter is to proceed with proposing a new contextual sub-theory of human rights plan…
Australia’s National Human Rights Action Plans
This inquiry has sought to assess for the first time the effectiveness of three of Australia’s National Human Rights Action Plans (NHRAP) in realising human rights and show that among other factors, the traditional concept of planning, which is still predominant in international human rights law, can play a key part in generating different problems in the way of an effective action plan. This focused case study was informed by four sources of dat…
The Problem-Oriented Approach to Improving National Human Rights Action Plans
By conducting a textual analysis of the National Human Rights Action Plans of 39 countries, this study revealed that these plans are faced with at least 14 significant problems in the ‘pre-phase’ and the four phases of planning—these are preparatory phase; development phase; implementation phase; and assessment phase. The problems include: non-compliance; tardiness; lack of a baseline study; ideological orientation; non-correspondence; lack of co…
The nature and scope of states' obligation to adopt a national human rights action plan
The main purpose of this inquiry is to unravel whether states are obliged, under international human rights law, to adopt a National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP), and if so, what is the nature and the scope of this obligation. To this end, a textual analysis of nine core human rights conventions is conducted. The results of this analysis show that each of these conventions places upon states parties an immediate obligation to adopt a NHRAP wh…
National human rights action plans
Applying the “human rights-based approach to development” (HRBAD) in practice is the biggest challenge facing advocates of human rights and development. This article seeks to bridge between. HRBAD at a theoretical level and the National Human Rights Action Plans (NHRAP) at a practical level in order to not merely provide a tool for putting HRBAD into practice but also to prepare a theoretical foundation for NHRAPs. To integrate HRBAD into NHRAPs,…
