AbstractAutonomous systems make decisions independently or on behalf of the user. This will happen more and more in the future, with the widespread use of AI technologies in the fabric of the society that impacts on the social, economic, and political sphere. Automating services and processes inevitably impacts on the users’ prerogatives and puts at danger their autonomy and privacy. From a societal point of view, it is crucial to understand which is the space of autonomy that a system can exercise without compromising laws and human rights. Following the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies 2018 recommendation, the chapter addresses the problem of preserving the value of human dignity in the context of the digital society, understood as the recognition that a person is worthy of respect in her interaction with autonomous technologies. A person must be able to exercise control on information about herself and on the decisions that autonomous systems make on her behalf.

Women Rights

Islam opened the ideas of equality of mankind, human dignity, divine unity and religious tolerance, thereby allowing people to participate in the social, economic, spiritual and intellectual fields. Islam affirms faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human persons in the equal rights of men and women. This article spells out the meaning of equality and how it can be achieved. Islam give special status to human rights. The concept of human rights with special reference to women rights have been discussed in the light of Khutbatul Hajatul Wida the last message of Prophet (Muhammad Peace be upon him) The Khutaba is the charter of human rights, which give protection to women. The article also describes the communication strategies and sets the role of media in achieving the women's rights in accordance with Qur'an and Sunnah. The means of communication in a society usually reflect the economic, social, political and religions conditions of the society. The communication means to motivate directly. To discharge these functions effectively in Islamic world or community and to achieve human rights, the communication means should have a clear perception about broader Islamic objectives which guide their day to day work.

The issue of empowering women has been and still is the preoccupation of various humanitarian organizations, especially human rights organizations. Regarding the issue of human rights in Iraq, it is extremely difficult, because of the exceptional circumstances ordered by Iraq, which made it an arena for human rights violations. Vulnerable groups, they are more affected by the surrounding circumstances, such as violence, displacement, terrorism, displacement, widowhood, and others ... especially with regard to measures to empower women, because what women suffer in our society is a heap of discriminatory traditional culture against them and their lack of awareness of themselves and Their legitimate rights, in addition to weak government policies, and the lack of resources and opportunities, and herein lies the problem. The importance of the research stems from the importance of the role of women in society and the social, economic, health and political dimensions that this role represents, and the extent of its impact on the development process in Iraq. As for its objectives, it is to stand on the role of human rights organizations in empowering women in all social, economic, political and health fields, from which we have deduced most of them marginalization and discrimination on the basis of gender, and then we proposed some enabling measures, hoping through them to integrate women in all levels of development . Key words : role, organizations, human rights, empowerment, women .

And Training

Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares: 'Everyone has the right to education.' This implies that the right to education and training applies to all persons, including all persons in prison. This position is considered here from a philosophical point of view and it will receive some support. Yet it is not obvious that the position is correct, nor, if it is, how it is best explained. I will examine the basis for asserting a right to education on behalf of all prisoners, and consider what is required by way of its defence in the face of common objections. I illustrate how international conventions and principles express prisoners' right to education, and I look at how this right is defended by appeal to education as a means to an end and as a human right – required by respect for persons and their human dignity.

Careful Investigation

Opening ParagraphIt is natural that the urgent need for systematic study of culture contact should first and most forcibly be felt with regard to areas where the process of ‘civilization’ or modernization is already comparatively far advanced, whether it be in the form of detribalization in urban and industrial districts or of the adaptation of the tribal system among an important and powerful people like the Baganda. In the first place, those areas present the most pressing practical problems and exhibit the most acute symptoms of social, economic, and political strain. In the second place, as a corollary of their accessibility to exotic influences, they are the areas most easily accessible to observers trained and untrained, and their troubles often force themselves on the attention of the civilized world. They have, however, certain disadvantages from the point of view of the student of culture contact, in that, as Miss Mair has shown, the opportunity to study the stages in their development has gone for ever. By careful investigation a useful and reliable, if incomplete, picture can be drawn of the working of the social order just before the torrent of modern civilization broke in upon it, and the comparison between past and present which such a reconstruction makes possible provides us with knowledge which is both necessary for the explanation of existing phenomena and also of the greatest practical value. But just as one cannot tell by looking at the finished product whether a pot has been fashioned from the lump or by the coil method, so, in the absence of proper observation at the time, we cannot reconstruct a picture of the intermediate stages in the creation of the present situation, or ever know the details of the processes whereby native society adjusted itself to some innovations and was dislocated by others.

The Social

Point of view: One of the basic concepts that underlies law as a phenomenon, as well as private law as one of the two areas of law, is the concept of natural law. This concept presupposes that rights and freedoms are an inalienable good of every person, regardless of the will of any external institutions. The ideas of natural law have been expressed in the concept of private law (the fundamental principles of private law are such principles as justice, good faith, reasonableness, dispositiveness, legal certainty, inadmissibility of interference in private affairs, inviolability of property rights, and freedom of contract). Object: The subject of the study is the problems of reforming of private law in modern conditions. The object of research is the social relations that arise in the plane of «person-person» and «state-person» in modern transformation processes. Methodology: The research methodology is formed by methods of analysis, synthesis, and modeling. Additionally, logical-legal, comparative-legal forecasting methods are used. The authors of the article tried to draw a parallel between the concepts of natural law, Roman law and private law. Results and discussion: An analysis of these concepts revealed that each of them is an integral part of the concept of modern Western civilization. At the same time, in modern conditions of pandemic, deglobalization, regionalization, collapse of human rights and the very concept of Western civilization, which is based on the ideas of humanism, liberalism, absolute human rights, inviolability of property rights and respect for privacy, are under threat.

Trabajo Social

La ética como elemento práctico fundamenta el interés del Trabajo Social en las personas y sus características, fomentando el desarrollo de la autonomía, restableciendo el ejercicio de los derechos y promoviendo la dignificación de las personas. Estos objetivos, trasladados a la investigación social, se concretan en situar al individuo en el centro de la acción investigadora, propiciando su participación en el proceso. En esta línea, se presenta una investigación social cuya metodología se ha diseñado desde dicha perspectiva ética. A través de este ejemplo, se cimienta la importancia de la metodología de carácter cualitativo -y sus herramientas de recogida de información- como método para la aproximación a la realidad de los propios protagonistas. Finalmente, se expone como resultado que los sujetos han sentido su participación en la investigación como un paso hacia el reconocimiento de sus capacidades, a la vez que se reflexiona sobre la importancia de conocer la realidad desde la mirada de las personas protagonistas de los hechos. Ethics, as a practical element, infuses interest in the Social Work of people and their personal characteristics. It encourages the development of autonomy, restores the exercise of rights, and promotes people's human dignity. When transferred to the field social research, these objectives are reached by setting individuals at the center stage of the research activity, thereby directly promoting their participation in the process. Following this line, we present a social investigation articulated via a methodology developed according to the aforementioned ethical perspective. This study underscores the importance of our methodology's qualitative perspective, from the tools it uses to collect data, to its ability as a method to better approximate the actual reality of its protagonists. Our results suggest that participants view their collaboration in the research positively, as it provides them a step forward in gaining recognition for their abilities. Finally, it contributes further to the issue regarding the importance of understanding social reality from the point of view of its protagonists.

ABSTRACT Objective: The present article aims to discuss the risks inherent the new technologies, especially nanotechnology, to the environment and, consequently, to human beings. From this point of view, it presents the evidence of risks pointed out by scholars as well as the discussions already performed at an international level considering their necessary and emerging regulation. Methodology: This article uses the methodology of literature survey and a systemicconstructivist framework to approach the risks, in the light of Niklas Luhmann’s concept of society of risk to discuss why nanotechnological risks should be taken into account. Results: The investigation has as conclusion that, despite the clear evidence of risks, so far there has been no regulation aiming at the development of this technology with investments in safety for the purpose of controlling environmental and human risks. Important issues must be taken into account in the national internal development of a “nanolaw”. Contributions: As a contribution, this paper discusses some of the main events already held at an international level focusing on the regulation of nanotechnology for its safe development with regard to the environment and human beings. At these events reports were issued supporting the need to share information and also to enter into an international agreement on safety measures designed to face nanotechnologial risks by implementing risk management. Keywords: Nanotechnology; risks; human rights; regulation. RESUMO Objetivo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir os riscos inerentes às novas tecnologias, principalmente a nanotecnologia, ao meio ambiente e, consequentemente, ao ser humano. Sob esse ponto de vista, apresenta evidências de riscos apontados pelos acadêmicos, bem como as discussões já realizadas em âmbito internacional, considerando sua regulamentação necessária e emergente. Metodologia: Este artigo utiliza a metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e uma estrutura sistêmico-construtivista para abordar os riscos, à luz do conceito de sociedade de risco de Niklas Luhmann para discutir por que os riscos nanotecnológicos devem ser levados em consideração. Resultados: A investigação tem como conclusão que, apesar da clara evidência de riscos, até o momento não há regulamentação voltada ao desenvolvimento dessa tecnologia com investimentos em segurança para fins de controle de riscos ambientais e humanos. Questões importantes devem ser levadas em consideração no desenvolvimento interno nacional de uma “nanolaw”. Contribuição: Como contribuição, este artigo discute alguns dos principais eventos já realizados em âmbito internacional, com foco na regulamentação da nanotecnologia para seu desenvolvimento seguro em relação ao meio ambiente e aos seres humanos. Nesses eventos, foram emitidos relatórios de apoio à necessidade de compartilhar informações e também de um acordo internacional sobre medidas de segurança projetadas para enfrentar riscos nanotecnológicos através da implementação do gerenciamento de riscos. Palavras-chave: Nanotecnologia; riscos; direitos humanos; regulamento.
