This chapter is an analysis and discussion of the globally popular human rights education film: A Path to Dignity: the Power of Human Rights Education. The film is produced by Ellen Bruno and is a cooperation with the UN department OHCHR and the human rights education organisations HREA and SGI. The film combines human rights education and dignity. Our research question is how human rights education and dignity is presented and understood in the film. The film is organized in three parts, and addresses Indian children, a Muslim woman and police in Australia. We have analysed the part about the young children in India. In our discussion of the film we have applied social semiotic theory and related analytical tools. We have analysed the representations, interactions and composition of the film. The result of the analysis shows a focus on the local situation of the children. Through human rights education the children experience a transformation in gaining a sense of dignity. This leads to a particular concern for others whose dignity is violated. The state that is responsible for their human rights is not addressed. The film presents human rights education with an interest for individual children, and dignity is understood morally, as responsibility for the other.

Regional Origin

The European Court of Human Rights is unique among regional and international courts in that, since 2004, States have been required to include both male and female nominees in their lists of three candidates for judicial office at the Court. Upon the introduction of this rule, the number of female judges at the Court rapidly rose. Despite this, today, there are still fewer women on the Strasbourg bench than men, and the number of female judges is now declining. This chapter explores some of the traits of successful female candidates for judicial office at the Court, namely their regional origin, age, professional background, and feminist engagement, as well as whether they were mothers of young children at the time of their election. It also examines the growing gender gap at the Court, addresses the importance of adequate gender representation on the Strasbourg bench, and formulates recommendations for continuing to ensure that women are appropriately represented among the Court’s judges.

Under Construction

This manuscript wishes to discuss something that could be considered the oldest and the newest of themes: Peace. Peace is not just the absence of war. It may be that in your country or region there is no armed conflict. But is there peace? But then what does living in peace mean if it is not just the absence of war or conflict? It is living together with each other's differences - gender, ethnicity, language, religion and culture - while nurturing universal respect for justice and human rights is shared and coexistence based. In this sense, peace is permanently under construction and needs the participation of all, as it is the choice that encompasses sincere dialogue with other individuals and communities. And here we have a key role for education in promoting a culture of peace, from young children to adult.
