The right to religious freedom is generally believed to be the solution to religious intolerance and discrimination and to ensure world peace amongst world citizens. On an international level, the United Nations, through the appointment of a special rapporteur for freedom of religion and belief, has introduced a tool to monitor violations of this right. This tool is known as �the framework of communications� and is focused mainly on the relationship between governments and religions. Unfortunately, religion is not excluded from the violation of human rights within its own ranks. This article pointed out that however pure the intention of freedom of religion, no real measures are in place to address violations of human rights in minority religions. Therefore, a tool is needed to investigate and address alleged violations within minority religions.

In Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), the right to choose a partner for a woman is set by families. This then becomes the spotlight of many circles who argue that fiqh is discriminatory against women. Muslim men have the right to decide with whom to marry. In contrary, Muslim women do not have such a right. Women right is taken over by parents in the name of Islamic law. In the World Conference on Population and Women in Cairo-Egypt in 1994, however, women were proclaimed to have their own reproductive rights that must be protected and maintained. One form of the demands of the reproductive rights is the right of women to determine their own life partner. This paper wants to examine the right to choose a husband for women from the perspective of Islamic law and international law on human rights. Keywords: the right to choose, women, Islamic law, human rights.

This paper attempts to answer the question as to whether the right to "life and death" of a woman (ius vitae ac necis) at the hands of male family members or partners is indeed a timeless category. Is it possible that in Serbia of the 21st century there is still a struggle to promote the "right to life" of women to the level of "basic human rights"? What contributed to the fact that the concept of innate human dignity based on "human rights", which dates back from the feudal social order, has not as yet fully come to life in Serbia as far as women are concerned. What social circumstances contributed to the Roman ius vitae ac necis to outlive centuries and take root especially in Serbia, only under a different name - that of femicide? This notion has been defined as "gender based murder of women, girls, and babies of female sex by persons of the male sex". The murderers in cases of femicide include partners (ex / current, spouses or extramarital), family members or relatives: father, father-in-law, son, son-in-law, etc. Both expert and general public wander whether enforcing more stringent norms by authorities or acting towards changing the consciousness of the abusers or both at the same time, can contribute to eradicating this devastating phenomenon in the 21st century.

The right of recognition a belief is one of the basic human rights set forth in the Constitution. Population Administration Act as the executor of the constitutional mandate does not regulate of information column’s ”Belief” in an identity card (KTP-el) or a blank religion is a legal vacuum. Many debates occurred during the discussion and after the enactment of the Population Administration Act that only regulates the administration of population and issues between Religion and Belief as being very sensitive so that discussion of belief is considered not the domain of the Population Administration Act. Then, the absence of public participation in discussion of amendment Population Administration Act as a form of non-recognition of the existence of Believer in regulation. The problem is no rule for public participation in Population Administration Act. In fact, this paper used a normative juridical approach, with qualitative descriptive about debate of the Administration Population Act (DPR) to find out the urgency of the right to recognition for identity’s Belief through KTP-el. The result showed that inclusion of information column’s “Belief” is an entrance (gate) for the state's recognition of the people’s belief and their constitutional rights attached to it. Not only through words, but the recognition of the state through the State Administrators is manifested by legislation and communication (dialogue) between state and its citizens to remove all the existing attributes with equally, parallel, and continuously.

Worldly practices, in Christian thought, would mean acts considered inappropriate, in that they suck Christians in by things that are harmful to their spiritual lives or cause another to stumble. This challenge is exacerbated by globalization and explains the paradox and dilemma of Christians in the rapidly advancing world. It is this that this chapter investigates in 21st century Nigeria. The work aims at situating Christians as responsible members of the global community freely expressing their fundamental human rights without infringing on the right of others. To achieve this, the chapter utilizes the phenomenological and sociological methods. The chapter discovers that most Nigerians hinging on the freedom platforms provided by the exercise of fundamental human rights show great preference for worldly practices, which is at variance with normal regulations of religion. The chapter recommends a synergetic approach of major faiths in Nigeria for an articulation of moral/spiritual codes, adopted from existing ethical windows for a fresh national moral rebirth and cohesion.

The public understands early marriage as stated in Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage as an amendment to Law Number 1 of 1974 that child marriage occurs at the age of under 19 years for both men and women and or those who have not reached puberty. This paper aims to examine the shift in the public's perspective on the practice of early marriage explicitly that occurred in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi, and its relation to Human Rights. This study uses qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques with stages; data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Researchers conducted interviews with informants who had been selected through snowball sampling and purposive sampling techniques. This study shows that the community's response to early marriage has changed along with the times, namely that in the past people considered early marriage as a way to maintain family honor, but is now considered a family disgrace. Factors for early marriage include promiscuity; the honor of family and relatives, local customary norms, less educated parents, and the economic burden of the family. Meanwhile, from a human rights perspective, the practice of child marriage is a serious part of child abuse concerning the right to education and employment.Masyarakat memahami pernikahan dini sebagaimana tercantum dalam UU No. 16 Tahun 2019 tentang Perkawinan sebagai perubahan terhadap UU Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 bahwa pernikahan anak terjadi pada usia di bawah 19 tahun bagi laki-laki maupun bagi perempuan dan atau mereka yang belum akil baligh. Tulisan ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengkaji peralihan cara pandang masyarakat terhadap praktik pernikahan dini secara eksplisit yang terjadi di Kabupaten Bone Sulawesi Selatan serta kaitannya dengan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM). Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisis data deskriptif kualitatif dengan tahapan; reduksi data, penyajian data, dan kesimpulan. Peneliti melakukan wawancara terhadap informan yang sudah dipilih melalui teknik snowball sampling dan purposive sampling. Penelitian ini memberikan hasil bahwa respon masyarakat terhadap pernikahan dini berubah seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, yakni yang dulunya masyarakat menganggap pernikahan dini sebagai salah satu cara untuk menjaga kehormatan keluarga, namun sekarang dianggap sebagai aib keluarga. Faktor terjadinya pernikahan dini diantaranya adalah pergaulan bebas; kehormatan keluarga dan kerabat, norma adat lokal, orang tua yang kurang terpelajar, dan beban ekonomi keluarga. Adapun jika dipandang dari perspektif HAM, praktik pernikahan anak merupakan bagian serius dari pelecehan anak sehubungan dengan hak atas pendidikan dan ketenagakerjaan.

Starting from the 21st century, the European Court of Human Rights has changed the approach regarding the interpretation of the right to marry protected under Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The new liberal attitude towards the content of this right has opened up opportunities for new categories of persons to enter into marriage and start a family. The question arises whether the European Court of Human Rights will continue with this trend of interpretation and what consequences that could cause for the international understanding of marriage and family.

This presentation explores the nexus between collective violence (in the form of violent civil conflict) and health and human rights in Sri Lanka, focusing specifically on persons displaced during the most recent conflict in Northern Sri Lanka beginning in November 2008. After exploring the normative framework in relation to the right to health, the local legal framework governing internal displacement, and the related component on healthcare access, service provision, and standards will be described. By examining health cluster reports, health surveys, and case-studies, this presentation describes how the health sector responded in providing healthcare services to those war displaced living in internally displaced people (IDP) camps in Vavuniya District. The “rights based approach to health” is examined in relation to the health sector response, and key issues and challenges in meeting health protection needs are highlighted. A conceptual framework on the right to health for IDPs in Northern Sri Lanka is presented. This presentation also explores how some health interventions in the post-conflict Sri Lankan context may have acted as a bridge for peace building and reconciliation.
