Adaptation of global gender norms in the strategies, policies, and guidelines of international humanitarian organisations
Adaptation of global gender norms in the practices of international humanitarian organisations
Gender equality is a norm and aspiration that is increasingly reflected in the policies of humanitarian organisations worldwide. However, tensions exist between the push for alignment with global frameworks and the need for norm localisation and adaptation. This study compares how two organisations – the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (including three National Societies) and the International Rescue Committee (in…
Women judges in fragile states
Women are entering courts as judges in increasing numbers, including in so-called ‘fragile states’. However, little research examines in-depth how women access and experience their role on the bench in these contexts. Based on a thorough review of existing literature, we propose an analytical framework that can help us understand how women access and experience their role on the bench in contexts of state fragility. Drawing on existing research t…
Women’s access to judicial power in Uganda
Uganda’s judiciary is nearing gender parity, yet a glass ceiling prevents women from reaching the most powerful positions. This is surprising, as women have attained top judicial roles in countries with a poorer gender balance in the courts and less progress in women’s empowerment. We explore two questions. First, what explains Uganda’s success in achieving gender parity on the bench? And, second, what limits women judges’ access to top judicial …
A Global Review of Children’s Visibility in Constitutions
Based on a study of the world’s constitutions, this article argues that while children have some constitutional visibility, they are rarely regarded as persons with agency in a constitutional sense. Their rights, as laid down in the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child ( crc ) of 1989, are poorly reflected in the constitutional texts, which potentially has significant implications for the attention to children’s rights, and for t…
Legalised resistance to autocratisation in common law Africa
Since the 1990s, African incumbents have engaged in forms of rule-bending that weaken democratic institutions. The democratic backsliding witnessed weaponises law through processes of autocratic lawfare. However, civil society and the opposition may challenge the incumbent’s attempts at autocratisation through the use of law and, in so doing, resist processes of democratic backsliding. We refer to processes where civil society actors and oppositi…
Public participation in decisions about measures to manage the Covid-19 pandemic
Litigating the Climate Emergency
As the climate emergency intensifies, rights-based climate cases – litigation that is based on human rights law – are becoming an increasingly important tool for securing more ambitious climate action. This book is the first to offer a systematic analysis of the universe of these cases known as human rights and climate change (HRCC) cases. By combining theory, empirical documentation, and strategic debate among preeminent scholars and practitione…
Difficult trade-offs in response to Covid-19
We argue that deliberative decision making that is inclusive, transparent and accountable can contribute to more trustworthy and legitimate decisions on difficult ethical questions and political trade-offs during the pandemic and beyond.
Tribal Representation and Local Land Governance in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, India
In India, the historically disadvantaged groups of tribal people categorised as the Schedule Tribes have largely remained on the fringes of growth. There is a constitutional provision the Sixth Schedule applicable in certain areas of tribal territorial majorities in the North East of India that recognises the. The question is how effective these legal mechanisms are in protecting the tribal population against marginalisation. This article present…
Juridification and Social Citizenship in the Welfare State
The concept of juridification refers to a diverse set of processes involving shifts towards more detailed legal regulation, regulations of new areas, and conflicts and problems increasingly being framed in legal and rights-oriented terms. This timely book questions the impact international and national regulations have upon vulnerable groups (the unemployed, patients, prisoners, immigrants, and others) in terms of inclusion, exclusion and social …
Giving Effect to Children's Right to Health in Colombia? Analysing the Implementation of Court Decisions Ordering Health System Reform
I would like to thank the team from the "Right to health through litigation?" project, especially Ole Frithjof Norheim, Alicia Ely Yamin, and Oscar Parra-Vera. Ole saw a potential article from the disorganized data that I brought from Colombia, helping me organize it and agreeing to co-author a piece with me. Alicia and Oscar, from the very beginning, included me in their research discussions and field trips to Colombia. Our conversations have al…
Introduction
Climate change is one of the central challenges to the future of African countries and their people. Unless concerted efforts are made worldwide in a very short time to reduce emissions, climate change impacts in Africa are likely to be devastating
Human Rights Based Approaches to Development
This paper assesses the benefits, risks, \n and limitations of human rights based approaches to \n development, which can be catalogued on the basis of the \n institutional mechanisms they rely on: global compliance \n based on international and regional treaties; the policies \n and programming of donors and executive agencies; rights \n talk; and legal mobilization. The paper briefly reviews the \n politics of the first three kinds of human rig…
Human Rights-Based Approaches to Development
This article aims to organize thinking around human rights-based approaches to development (HRBAs) and to review available empirical evidence regarding their benefits, risks, and limitations. We propose a typology distinguishing four types of rights-based approaches: global compliance based on international and regional treaties; human rights-based programming on the part of donors and governments; rights talk; and legal mobilization. The article…
Climate Change Lawfare
Climate change poses unprecedented challenges. No one knows how suitable a planet three or four degrees warmer on average will be for human life. What we do know is that climate change impacts are already changing socioecological systems and will lead to profound changes, as well as conflicts over resources. This article looks at how issues concerning the injustice and human rights violations caused by climate change are transformed and manifeste…
Litigating Health Rights
Litigation as a Strategy to Hold Governments Accountable for Implementing the Right to Health
This article offers a framework for exploring litigation as a strategy to advance the right to health by holding governments accountable to human rights norms. Since the 1990s, cases in which people go to court to claim their right to health have increased dramatically in resource-poor countries. With issues ranging from access to health services and medication, to discriminatory labor practices, to public health, to the basic determinants of hea…

The accountability function of the courts in Tanzania and Zambia
This comparative analysis of the judiciaries in Tanzania and Zambia finds that neither one has developed a strong accountability function vis-à-vis the government. It goes on to address why judges in the two countries rarely have restrained the government in politically significant cases, identifying three sets of factors that may explain why the judges perform as they do: the legal culture; the institutional structure; and the social legitimacy …
