Resumo: Este artigo aborda os direitos de proteção das mulheres no contexto do meio ambiente. O objetivo é identificar, nas ações estratégicas do Plano Nacional de Políticas para Mulheres, a defesa ao acesso às fontes de energia eficientes e o combate às formas de violência contra as mulheres e meninas geradas por setores de grandes obras. Os Planos revelam que as mulheres são mais afetadas pela falta de acesso e insegurança quanto à disponibilidade e gestão sustentável da água e saneamento; e pela insegurança quanto ao acesso confiável, sustentável, moderno e a preço acessível à energia para todos, situações agravadas pelo mau uso dos recursos e mudanças climáticas. Os efeitos das grandes obras sobre as mulheres são o crescimento da prostituição e da violência, devido à exclusão do mercado de trabalho, deixando-as sem alternativas e mais vulneráveis. Conclui-se que, a defesa e garantia do direito ao meio ambiente saudável e sustentável, em relação aos aspectos legislativos e jurídicos é papel do Estado. A sociedade civil pode enfrentar atos que violam esse direito mediante, por exemplo, cooperação organizacional e institucional e ações educativas. Palavras-chave: direitos das mulheres, bioética, meio ambiente saudável, justiça social, combate à violência, inclusão social.Abstract: This article addresses women's protection rights in the context of the environment. The objective is to identify, in the strategic actions of the National Plan of Policies for Women, the defense of access to efficient energy sources and the fight against forms of violence against women and girls generated by sectors of major works. The Plans consider that women and girls are most affected by the lack of access and insecurity regarding the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation; and insecurity as to reliable, sustainable, modern and affordable access to energy for all, situations aggravated by the misuse of resources and climate change. The effects of large companies on women are the growth of prostitution and violence, due to exclusion from the labor market, leaving them without alternatives and more vulnerable. It is concluded that the defense and guarantee of the right to a healthy and sustainable environment, in relation to legislative and legal aspects, is the role of the State. Civil society can face acts that violate this right through, for example, organizational and institutional cooperation and educational actions.  Keywords: women's rights, bioethics, healthy environment, social justice, combating violence, social inclusion.

This paper analyzes the role of the state in its mission of ensuring the existence of sustainable cities with adequate housing and meeting the standards set by current legal dictates. For this purpose, firstly, the right to housing guaranteed by the current Constitution, in its article 6 caput, is assessed as one of the most basic needs of the individual, considered a fundamental right since 1948 by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This paper also investigates the guarantee of decent housing for the citizen is effective, as provided for in the City Statute, Law No. 10257, 2001, especially with the publication of Law n. 11.888 /2008, which guarantees free public assistance in the project and construction of social housing for low-income families. This rule regulates the hiring of professionals who, while preserving their urban legislation, ensure compliance with an adequately sustainable environment. This article will use the hypothetical-deductive method and the bibliographic research methodology.

This chapter discusses how the ‘stickler-enjoining’ account of equity has important limits. While many distinctive doctrines of equity can be understood to limit stickler behaviour, equity in fact often turns a blind eye to, and sometimes even enables, stickler behaviour. One can sort cases in which equity restrains sticklers from those in which it is indifferent to stickler behaviour if one attends to the role of the state in private litigation. Sometimes the state’s responsibilities require it to protect plaintiffs against sticklers. Other times, it requires it to protect the stickler, as a means, for example, of keeping as open as possible each person’s sphere of choices. Ultimately, the self-regarding account of equity sheds light on the question of the relationship between equity and justice: from the distinct perspective of the judgment, sometimes equitable justice is better than legal justice and sometimes legal justice is better than equitable justice.

Efficacy, efficiency, and effectiveness are pillars in the field of law primarily referred to when the discussion focuses on access and the service of providing justice. As discussed by Landero (2014)1, conflict resolutions by means of alternative mechanisms, such as mediation, under the institutional framework, constitute guaran-tees to be respected in processes for which the provision may affect the rights of individuals. This has been well pointed out in Article 8 of the American Convention on Human Rights (2001)2, which regulates judicial guarantees and Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Also, as intrinsic values of the legal system, the efficacy, efficiency and effectiveness have been extensively studied by doctrine contributions from Calsami-glia (1987)3, Paz-Ares and Valencia (1995)4, Mercuro and Medema (1998)5, Zywicki and Stringham (2010)6. However, presenting them operatively in a way that is related to how the evaluation mecha-nism is applied in order to have a better picture of the resolution of conflicts outside of court such as those confined within the field of childhood and adolescence through the market represents a novel contribution. In other words, it is a contribution that will assess the regressive performance (judged) compared to what is obtained by private instruments (mediation centers). The evaluation of alternative justice, specifically mediation for a diagnosis of the performance of this justice, and to contrast it with the trial, allows for mistakes and successes in the develop-ment of service justice in relation to the mechanisms for the reso-lution of conflicts outside of court in cases of childhood and adolescence as a starting point for subsequent evaluations. The guidelines state, specifically with regard to effective mediation, mediation initiatives that are improvised and uncoordinated by states but are launched with the best of intentions, do not contrib-ute to the objective of raising institutional barriers that limit the spontaneous appearance of a culture of peace and non-aggression for which the processes must have strong technical and financial support. In light of this, Marquez (2012)7 evaluated mediation in court, employing the “criteria” that he called; Efficacy, Efficiency and Effectiveness. Although the methodology that was introduced was similar to that of this document, Marquez (2012) defends the role of the state by arguing that it does not conceptualize the crite-ria, and definitions given for the right to mediation should not focus on the issues of resolving conflicts outside of court in cases of childhood and adolescence.

The need for an evidence base for human nutrition action is analysed in the context of human rights. Over the last 50 years the twin tracks of development, economical needs based and normative rights based, have come progressively closer in terms of goals and objectives, even if they do maintain different orientations and origins. The international human rights machinery is described, together with those parts that are of relevance to the right to food and nutrition. The role of the State in respecting, protecting and facilitating these rights is further described. The evidence base for the benefit of nutrition interventions during the fetal and infant period to the health and well-being of populations throughout life's course is briefly reviewed, and reasons why such a large body of evidence has not been acted upon are discussed. The power of nutrition is in prevention more than cure, and the prevention of nutritional deficiency is best suited to radical population-wide strategies rather than high-risk strategies targeted at individuals. The population-wide distribution of benefits of nutrition is in congruence with universality of human rights. In the UK much remains to be done to ensure that food and nutrition rights are realised, especially during the critical period of fetal and infant growth. What role the Nutrition Society might play in the realisation of these rights, including the creation of a robust evidence base for nutrition action, is further discussed.

The systematic revolution also implies significant structural changes But the phenomenon is not without paradoxes and calls for cautious steps. Various lessons are to be learnt from the Mexican misery. The author discusses in detail about the right approach for India so that the country evades any misery. The concept of ‘Tobin Tax’ is worth examining.

Illuminated the question of the content and role of various conceptual approaches: is a jury a “court of the fatherland” or does it exist as long as the state sees its own interest in its existence. The author formulates his position on these approaches and their reflection in the legislation. The article also discusses the constitutional and legal aspects of the stated topic. In particular, the question of what is the constitutional and legal content of the right to trial by jury, and whether it can practically be reduced to zero by means of sectoral law-making, is raised and studied. The article examines the question of the competence of the jury-the categories of criminal cases that need to be considered. The article considers the problematic issues of the formation of a jury court and outlines possible ways to solve them.
