This paper discusses the current U.S. practices in providing refuge and complying with human rights law. In order better to understand why applications for asylum from Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean have a far poorer success rate than those from any other region of the world, the authors explore the history of U.S. asylum legislation with a specific focus on international human rights documents. They suggest that a U.S. asylum system more concordant with human rights law could contribute to a more equitable granting of asylum status and refugee resettlement. <br><br> En este ensayo se discuta las prácticas legales con respecto de los procuradores de asilo en los Estados Unidos de hoy. Al preguntar porque las aplicaciones de los procuradores de asilo del México, de la América Central, y del Caribe típicamente no tengan mucho éxito en los EEUU, los dos autores exploran la historia del sistema de inmigración de los Estados Unidos con foco especial en documentos internacionales sobre los derechos humanos. Proponen reformar ese sistema, levando las prácticas legales de los EEUU más en acuerdo con las leyes internacionales de derechos humanos para crear situaciones más iguales para todos los procuradores de asilo. <br><br> Este artigo examina a política atual dos Estados Unidos em asilar refugiados e cumprir com leis internacionais de direitos humanos. Para entender melhor por que os pedidos para asilo de México, América Central, e o Caribe têm um êxito muito menor dos pedidos de qualquer outra região do mundo, os autores examinam a história da legislação estadunidense concernente asilo com um enfoque especial em documentos internacionais de direitos humanos. Os autores sugerem que um sistema de asilo nos Estados Unidos mais concordante com os leis de direitos humanos pode ajudar estabelecer a prática de albergar asilo e tratar com os refugiados de uma maneira mais eqüitativo para todas as regiões do mundo. <br><br> Dans cet article il s’agit des procédés actuels aux Etats-Unis pour fournir asile aux réfugiés et pour se conformer à la loi des droits humains. Pour mieux comprendre pourquoi les demandes d’asile du Mexique, de l’Amérique Centrale et des îles Caraïbes témoignent d’un taux de succès bien inférieur à celles des autres régions du monde, les auteurs analysent l’histoire de la législation de l’asile aux Etats-Unis avec une concentration spécifique sur des documents internationaux de droits humains. Ils proposent qu’un système d’asile aux Etats-Unis plus concordant avec la loi des droits humains pourrait contribuer à une accordance plus équitable de statut d’asile et de rétablissement des réfugiés.

Abstract: Current international human rights standards cover mainly the dissemination of information, the consultation of information, and the registration of information. Practically all human rights provisions refer to communication as the “transfer of messages.” This reflects an outdated conception of communication as “distribution.” Communication is interaction: a process of personal and public dialogue! The shift from distribution to interaction requires the adaptation of human rights standards to the new reality of global interactive technologies and the emergence of networking in many social domains. Résumé : Les critères actuels pour les droits humains internationaux ont principalement trait à la dissémination de l’information, à la consultation en information et à l’enregistrement de l’information. Presque toutes les lois décrivent la communication comme portant sur le « transfert de messages ». Une telle approche reflète une conception périmée de la communication comme effectuant une « distribution ». La communication est plutôt une interaction : un processus de dialogue personnel et public! Ce passage de la distribution à l’interaction requiert que l’on adapte les critères pour les droits humains à la nouvelle réalité des technologies interactives mondiales et à l’émergence de réseaux dans plusieurs domaines sociaux.

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.
