This chapter discusses Bougainville, an example of a strong combative movement, where there is greater symmetry between the capabilities of the two sides. Given the high price that Bougainville paid to win an autonomy agreement and legal referendum — roughly 20,000 people died in their ten-year civil war — the chapter presents another kind of cautionary tale. It offers a critique of the international recognition regime by showing how violence can be a useful tactic. The chapter shows Bougainville cannot make a persuasive argument that it, like New Caledonia, can and should achieve independence via the process of decolonization. It has therefore been relegated to the somewhat residual category of combative movements, where violence and the appeal to human rights are common tactics. The chapter then assumes that Bougainville is the most likely candidate for becoming the next sovereign state. Ultimately, the chapter illustrates the various factors that assisted Bougainville's development of secessionist drive and sense of national consciousness.

The study explores the causes and consequences of Kashmir conflict which has always been an impediment in the development of both India and Pakistan. It begins with a brief discussion on the cause of the issue and its international recognition. The paper then explains Article 370 and its implications to India and Pakistan. Then the author discusses in detail the cases of displacement of Kashmiri Pundits and the human rights violations in the conflicted area. The respective perspectives of India and Pakistan on the issue are also discussed and the author critically analyses possible solutions to the issue, proposed by the United Nations and other international authorities. The author then concludes the study by throwing light on the significance of the UN intervention in the permanent solution of the issue. The author then concludes the study by proposing demilitarization of the disputed area on both sides of border, followed by unification of the whole region and then conducting a UN supervised-area wise plebiscite of the whole territory, as the most acceptable and realistic solution to the decades old conflict.

AbstractWe consider the right to the truth an essential human right that should be recognized and guaranteed by the Law. Allowing all humans access to the truth is a human good permitting the achievement of a higher degree of human perfection and realization and, consequently, there are strong reasons to affirm that the Law should recognize and guarantee as much as possible access to the truth. Considering that it has been the international recognition of the right to the truth which has provided the basis for domestic regulations it is logical that we should focus attention on the international sphere of human rights protection and it is for this reason that we have carried out a case-law method investigation to describe the concept of “the right to the truth”.

A trajetória do movimento argentino pelos direitos humanos é considerada uma das mais exitosas, tanto pelo reconhecimento público internacional, quanto pela adoção de algumas das suas demandas pelo Estado argentino. Porém, tal reconhecimento não significou uma atenção a este importante ator polá­tico por parte da recente produção acerca das memórias e da história da mais recente ditadura civil - militar (1976-1983). Consequentemente, podemos perceber a consolidação de uma memória do movimento argentino pelos direitos humanos que oblitera os conflitos surgidos no interior do mesmo, relativos tanto á  diversidade do perfil de seus participantes, quanto á s caracterá­sticas que compõem cada organismo. Pensando nisso, buscaremos questionar o silêncio acerca da participação dos sobreviventes dos centros clandestinos de detenção na memória do movimento, e o porquê de tais figuras serem uma das principais polêmicas que perpassam a sua história.Palavras-chave: Argentina.

However, such recognition did not meant attention to this important political actor from the latest production about the memories and history of the most recent civilian-military dictatorship (1976-1983). Consequently, we can see the consolidation of a memory of the Argentinian human rights movement that obliterates the conflicts that arise within it, on both the profile diversity of its participants, as to the characteristics that make each organism. Thinking about it, we try to question the silence about the participation of survivors of clandestine detention centers in the memory of the movement, and why such figures are one of the major controversies that remain on its story.Keywords: Argentine.Human Right.

In April 1978 Romanian President Nicolae Ceaușescu visited the United States. He met with his counterpart Jimmy Carter and discussed current bilateral and multilateral issues. Romanian agenda for that visit was to strengthen the country’s independence in the Soviet Bloc and to increase the international recognition of its leader. US agenda was to diversify the Soviet Bloc and to influence Romanian leadership to orient its internal policy towards respecting the human rights.This point was not reached. US achieved only the goals that could be described as belonging to “political realism”. Ceaușescu was not open for any idealistic principles and avoided the human rights topics. It was the last visit in the US of any leader of the Soviet Bloc countries before Gorbachev came to power.
