Abstract This paper discusses the system of minority protection of the League of Nations. Minority protection occupied a prominent place on the League’s agenda, which developed a significant expertise in the field. The League’s system of minority protection is often regarded as an experiment. With regard to both material and procedural aspects this assessment is certainly correct. In particular, minority protection based upon legally binding treaties and declarations gave rise to the question of how individual and group rights should be treated within the frame of an international political organization. The paper further examines whether at least some of the elements of the League’s minority protection system still persist in the context of contemporary international human rights law.

Desperate Attempt

The overall domestic context following the full defeat of the old regime in Turkey, and the main contours of the Islamist (‘Islamo-nationalist’, Millî Görüş) populism now in full swing, are described in this chapter. The discussion looks into the mood in the pro-government circles, with some emphasis on the Islamist speculations on democracy—terrifying to the secular masses—and the effective rule by policy, rather than law, enabled by the growing cult of Erdogan. This chapter also describes the spectacular fall out between the government and the former allies, who strongly shared in the power through the new bureaucracy, the Gulen cult. One centrifugal factor detected in portraying the setting is the formal commitment to the human rights protection system in Europe, which, paradoxically, acquired greater intensity during the regime change in a desperate attempt on the part of the government to by-pass the former centres of power.

Resumo: O presente artigo se divide em duas etapas, uma análise bibliográfica acerca da constituição do Sistema Interamericano de proteção e garantia aos Direitos Humanos, e uma análise teórica a partir da teoria biopolítica de Michael Foucault, percebendo-se a possibilidade da crítica por meio do conceito de interseccionalidade de Kimberlé Crenshawe decolonial de Aníbal Quíjano. Busca-se a perspectiva de um direito humano crítico, compreendendo que ao se debater juridicamente em separado sobreposições e categorias de injustiças sociais, poder-se-á levar a invisibilizações frente ao sistema de proteção, tendo-se como exemplo o caso concreto das mulheres não heterossexuais.

It seeks the perspective of a critical human right, understanding that in discussing legally separate overlaps and categories of social injustices, it will be possible to lead to invisibilizations in front of the protection system, taking as an example the concrete case of don’t straight women.Key Words: Human Rights; Biopolitics; Intersectionality; Decoloniality; genre.

AbstractIn the European context, an understanding that States are responsible for an effective child protection system is well established. Further, all 47 members of the CoE have adopted the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and all European countries have ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Thus, States have come to understand their responsibility in terms of the child’s right to protection. The aim of this article is to explicate core elements of an effective child protection system within a child’s rights framework. This aim is accomplished by highlighting and providing analysis of the principles set forth in the CRC and further elaborated in General Comment No. 13 (2011) and by the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the main components of policies and other relevant documents of the European Union (EU) and the Council of Europe (CoE), and caselaw from the European Court of Human Rights (ECrtHR) and then presenting recommendations for an effective State-run child protection system.
