AbstractGood governance is a concept for governance that should be run. Theoretically, the discourse of good governance reaps its pros and cons since it had been firstly introduced. However, as a concept and a strategic offer it deserves to be appreciated and re-examined. There are principles in good governance that are compatible with Islam such as accountability, transparency, deliberation, and others. Good governance will be achieved when it involves a good communication among the government, civil society, and the business sector. The author uses the perspective of contemporary maqaasid asy-shari'ah to view the discourse with more emphasis on development and right. The perspective is different from the old maqasid which emphasizes more on the protection and preservation. The result of the study shows that good governace needs  harmonious relationship among the followers of religion, social justice, organized and equitable education, human rights protection, and the development of civilized law.Keywords : Good Governance, Maqâsid asy-Syaari’ah, DevelopmentAbstrakGood governance merupakan sebuah konsep tata kelola pemerintahan yang seharusnya dijalankan. Secara teoritis, diskursus good governace menuai pro-kontra sejak awal kemunculannya. Meskipun demikian, sebagai sebuah konsep dan tawaran strategis patut untuk diapresiasi dan dikaji kembali. Terdapat prinsip-prinsip dalam good governance yang berkesesuaian dengan Islam diantaranya akuntabilitas, transparansi, musyawarah, dan lainnya. Upaya mewujudkannya tidak hanya dilakukan oleh satu pihak saja, tetapi komunikasi antara pemerintah (goverment), masyarakat sipil, dan sektor dunia usaha. Dalam melihat diskursus ini, penulis menggunakan perspektif maqaasid asy-Syaari’ah kontemporer dengan lebih menekankan pada development (pembangunan; pengembangan) dan right (hak-hak). Berbeda dengan maqasid lama lebih pada protection (perlindungan) dan preservation (penjagaan; pelestarian). Berdasarkan hasil kajian tersebut bahwa dalam mewujudkan good governace diperlukan pembangunan dalam berbagai aspek seperti membangun hubungan harmonis antar pemeluk agama, mewujudkan keadilan sosial, penyelenggaran dan pemerataan pendidikan, perlindungan terhadap hak asasi manusia, pembangunan hukum berkeadaban..

Based on the methodology of performing axiological and logical-gnoseological analysis of juridically significant factors, the article under discussion presents a partial investigation of the practical application of one of the most fundamental principles of state functioning in the field of human rights protection. The object of investigation in the paper is the way the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) perceives, understands and interprets the principle of Good Governance in the course of implementing it in Court’s activities. The precedents, formulated and adopted by the ECHR frequently acquire the status of legal sources for the member states of the Council of Europe. Therefore, the judiciary bodies of these countries have to rely in their practice on the conclusions, the ECHR came to in the course of considering certain cases. Qualitively equal understanding and application of the above decisions is a cornerstone in forming a common European legal space, as well as plays a leading role in the field of human rights protection, guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 1950 (hereinafter - the Convention) (Council of Europe, 1950). The principle of Good Governance is a complex notion. It directly or indirectly regards the rights and interests of both individuals (ensuring them certain rights and freedoms in a vast number of articles of the Convention) and social groups. This requires a complex analysis of the principle in both theoretical and practical aspects of its definition and application. Relying on the methodology of profound analysis of the axiological component of a certain legal phenomenon, like the content of some decisions of the Strasbourg Court, the authors of the article attempt to practically trace the implementation of the principle of Good Governance in the course of administering justice in Ukraine, as a member state of the Council of Europe. Therefore, the article under studies deals with the specifics of practical application of the principle of Good Governance in the ECHR activities, as well as with using precedent experience in the system of administrative judiciary of Ukraine.

While the ASEAN Charter of 2007 heralded an era of improved democracy, human rights protection and good governance in accordance with the rule of law, the reality on the ground tells a different story. While all of the trappings of a human rights mechanism are in place, the normative and protective capacity of the regime is ambiguous at best. The adoption of core international human rights treaties by ASEAN member states presents an ambiguous picture, one which reveals significant variations between the ten countries. The purported institutionalisation of international human rights standards since 2007 in the region via the creation of an ASEAN human rights mechanism in that year is betrayed by the poor condition of actual protection of human rights at the national and regional level. The article analyses the situation on the ground in light of the normative obligations and aspirations of the states.

Nigeria is a signatory to several international human rights instruments , in addition to these, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) profusely contained provisions on the protection of human rights of peoples in Nigeria, yet violation of human rights still goes on in the country . The effects of the violations are grave and include loss of lives; loss of limbs or vital organs; loss of properties, loss of freedom, and loss of unhindered access to basic existential needs and so on. These violations are possible because the regime of good governance in all its ramifications is not yet in place. Bad governance is one of the recipes for massive abuse of human rights. The structures and institutions for the observance of good governance in Nigeria are in place, but they have been deliberately crippled by the successive governments. This paper submits that the nexus between good governance and the protection of human rights makes it mandatory that the enthronement of good governance is a must in Nigeria. This enthronement, in a sustainable manner is possible but it imposes a duty on all and sundry.

Conceptions And Interpretations of Human Rights in Europe and Asia: Normative AspectsThe issue of confronting values between civilizations has become very important. It influences not only the level of international politics but also the international normative activity. It is very interesting for the modern international law and its doctrine. The most important factor of causing huge changes in the system of international law is still the international human rights protection and the international humanitarian law which is related to it. It is very difficult to create one catalogue of executive instruments and procedures but it is possible to influence the attitude toward the basic paradigms. The frictions appear from time to time and move to other planes. The West and Asia are still antagonists in the dialogue on the future of the world. The article is a contribution to the intercivilizational dialogue.

Human Rights Discourse

This article intends to analyze in the context of the complexity of the process of internationalization of human rights, the definitions and tensions between cultural universalism and relativism, the essence of human rights discourse, its basic norms and an analysis of the normative dialogues in case decisions involving violations of human rights in international tribunals such as the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and national courts. The well-established dialogue between courts can bring convergences closer together and remove differences of opinion on human rights protection. A new dynamic can occur through a complementarity of one court with respect to the other, even with the different characteristics between the legal orders.

ResumenLa desaparición forzada de los estudiantes normalistas ocurrida en septiembre de 2014 en las cercanías de la localidad mexicana de Ayotzinapa es una tragedia que, además de captar la atención de la prensa internacional, ha activado el funcionamiento de algunos mecanismos del sistema interamericano de protección de los derechos humanos. Este trabajo pretende analizar de qué manera la creación del Grupo Interdisciplinario de Expertos Independientes (GIEI) puede incidir en la determinación de la responsabilidad internacional del Estado Mexicano por el incumplimiento de los estándares internacionales interamericanos sobre prevención, investigación y sanción de la desaparición forzada. En aquel sentido, este trabajo se dividirá en tres secciones. En la primera de ellas se describirán brevemente los hechos, a fin de demarcar el contexto fáctico a partir del cual se reflexionará. La segunda sección hará referencia a la creación del GIEI en el marco de las medidas cautelares adoptadas por la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Comisión IDH) en este caso. En la tercera y última sección, se valorará si las obligaciones generales de respeto y garantía han sido vulneradas en este caso, centrando el foco de atención en los deberes específcos de prevención e investigación.Palabras clave: Ayotzinapa; Grupo Interdisciplinario de Expertos Independientes; Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos; desaparición forzada.ResumoO desaparecimento forçado de estudantes normalistas acontecida em setembro de 2014 perto da cidade mexicana de Ayotzinapa é uma tragédia que, além de capturar a atenção da imprensa internacional, permitiu o funcionamento de determinados mecanismos do sistema interamericano de proteção dos direitos humanos.

This work aims to analyze in which ways the creation of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) can underscore the determination of the international responsibility of the Mexican State for the non-compliance of the Inter-American international standards on prevention, investigation and punishment of the enforced disappearance. In that sense, this paper will be divided in three sections. The frst one will briefly describe the facts, to demarcate the factual circumstances from which it will be reflected. The second section will address the creation of the GIEI within the framework of the precautionary measures adopted by the Inter-American Commissionof Human Rights (IACHR) in this matter. The third and last section will evaluate whether the general obligations to respect and ensure human rights have been violated in this case, focusing on the specifc duties of prevention and investigation.Keywords: Ayotzinapa, Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts, Inter-American Commission of Human Rights, forced disappearance.
