Islam as a religion concerned with justice and respect places great emphasis on human rights and responsibility. Child as a small human also has certain rights categorized into social, educational and financial rights. The social rights are divided into two categories: before birth and after birth. The social rights before birth includes right to noble parent having character and right to unborn child while the social rights after birth includes rights to lineage, suckle and nutrition, and being received by the Muslim society. The educational rights cover rights to life, general care and socialization as well as basic education, just and equal treatment, and physical education. The financial rights encompass rights to livelihood, property and inheritance. Such rights of the child guaranteed by Islam absolutely have relevance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989. For enabling children to enjoy their rights, parental care plays role as a main foundation. But state and civil society organization also have key roles to play in this regard. A child friendly education may be a manifestation of social responsibility of state and civil society organization to respect and fulfill the rights of child. Such education provides a safe, clean, healthy and protective environment as well as meaningful learning for children with diverse abilities and backgrounds. Islam sebagai agama yang memperhatikan keadilan dan penghormatan memberikan penekanan yang tinggi pada hak asasi manusia dan tanggung jawab. Anak sebagai manusia kecil juga memiliki hak-hak yang dikategorisasikan ke hak-hak sosial, pendidikan, dan financial. Hak-hak sosial terbagi ke dalam duakategori: sebelum dan sesudah kelahiran. Hak-hak sosial sebelum kelahiran mencakup hak mendapatkan orangtua yang baik dan memiliki karakter, dan hak untuk tidak digugurkan dari kandungan, sementara hak-hak sosial sesudah kelahiran berupa hak mendapat silsilah keturunan yang jelas, hak mendapat air susu ibu dan gizi, dan hak diterima sebagai warga masyarakat Muslim. Adapun hak-hak pendidikan meliputi hak untuk hidup (sebagai prasyarat), hak memperoleh pengasuhan umum, hak sosialisasi, sebagaimana juga hakpendidikan dasar, hak perlakuan yang adil dan setara, serta hak pendidikan fisik. Sedangkan hak-hak finansial terdiri dari hak mendapatkan nafkah, hak memiliki harta, dan hak memperoleh warisan. Hak-hak anak yang dijamin oleh Islam tersebut ternyata relevan dengan Konvensi Hak-hak Anak yang disepakati dalam Sidang Umum Perserikatan Bangsa-bangsa (PBB) pada 1989. Untuk memungkinkan anak mendapatkan hak-haknya, perlindungan orangtua memainkan peranan sebagai landasan utama. Namun, dalam hal ini negara dan organisasi masyarakat sipil dapat juga memainkan peranan masing-masing. Pendidikan ramah anak dapat menjadi suatu perwujudan tanggung jawab sosial negara dan organisasi masyarakat sipil dalam menghormati dan memenuhi hak-hak anak. Pendidikan tersebut memberikan suatu lingkungan yang aman, bersih, sehat, dan protektif, serta pembelajaran penuh makna bagi anak-anak dengan keanekaragaman kemampuan dan latar belakang.

The article analyses European Union anti-discrimination law development in Member States and differences between protected grounds of discrimination. On this basis, the analysis covers recognition of the social complexity, internationalization and discrimination of foreigners for different grounds. The process of internationalization and migration, covering social, political, economical, cultural, legal processes, the non-discriminatory protection of a foreigner as a member of the society has become complicated, when attempting not to discriminate people arriving from the other countries and to have equal possibilities. The problems of discrimination are valid and significant for the civil society itself. The article also discusses the concept of multiple discrimination in European Union anti-discrimination law, legal regulation and protection against multiple discrimination in Europe and separate legal regulation of the Member States. This article argues that internationalization processes bring new approaches of interpretation of European Union employment equality law and contemporary challenges, introduces recent cases of equal treatment of employees during employment at private companies.

AbstractIt is a common feature of the treaties on international protection of economic and social rights that all states, regardless of their resource capabilities, are invited to ratify these treaties. Although all developing countries except Somalia have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the macroeconomic conditions of systemic poverty and underdevelopment in these countries indicate that there are concerns as to whether and how such states can really perform their legal obligations and guarantee the fulfilment of the Convention's economic and social rights. This article examines the emerging patterns of recent state practice in this area, with a view to identifying the contribution of international cooperation and assistance in these processes. The gist of the discussion presented here is that despite their macro-economic disadvantages, developing countries can accelerate the processes of achieving full implementation of economic and social rights if they have access to appropriate arrangements for external technical and financial cooperation and assistance. In view of this, it is suggested that there may be a legal obligation on the part of the international community to render such assistance and cooperation.

We would like to note that the experience gained shows that the functioning of the legal system in the “regular mode” and inextreme conditions have, of course, significant differences: including, and perhaps primarily in the protection of rights, freedoms andlegitimate interests man.It is axiomatic, and this has been confirmed in practice, that it is social human rights that are the defining “concern”. A fewremarks are not so much a textbook textbook on the development of these rights, but on the segments that indicate the need for today’sactualization of their provision and protection.Finally: the purpose of social policy is to ensure the material well-being of citizens, to achieve stability and security of life insociety, the integrity and dynamism of its development. It is known that society remains calm and stable, when the number of dissatisfied or disagree with public policy is not more thantwenty percent of the population.In addition, the implementation of “sound” social policy is impossible today without the following statements: it is important toemphasize that to ensure the practice of social human rights it is necessary to doctrinally develop and implement the category (socialresponsibilities) including social responsibility: state, business, each member civil society. Without proper, corresponding rights to raisethe question of proper social rights, it is neither possible in the theoretical sense nor in the practical sense.

Employed Parents

Taking parental protection rights as a clear-cut field of study, this article argues that there are significant protection gaps in the social rights and employment protection of the economically dependent self-employed. Their exclusion from employment protection can be justified as far as the protective purpose is tied to the personal subordination of the employee relationship. However, certain vulnerabilities arise not from personal, but from economic dependency, whereas the changing labour market and the growing area of precarious self-employment must be considered. Comparing the rights of working parents in Slovenia and Austria, we distinguish between employees and economically dependent self-employed persons in this specific area and point to challenges for the wider field of labour and social rights. The purposes of parental protection rights are diverse; they include health protection, guarantee social security and serve equal treatment purposes. Therefore, they represent an ideal field to discuss arguments regarding the inclusion or exclusion of the economically dependent self-employed into different protective frameworks.

In July 2019 the new president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, presented her guidelines for the period of presidency 2019-2024. While most proposals perpetuate the current reform agenda, the focus on the social dimension of the single market is remarkable. Von der Leyen has not only announced the full implementation of the European Pillar on Social Rights, but also highlighted new investment in digital competences seen as a key to competitiveness and innovation of the European economy. This paper will discuss whether the dynamics of the digital single market could lead to a new impetus on EU social policy and on European funding of training programmes. Therefore, an overview of significant funding programmes promoting digital skills is given.
