RESUMO  A corrupção vem se apresentando no âmbito das instituições privadas e democráticas, assim como, a nível internacional, entre os setores público e privado. No início da década de 90, começam a surgir uma série de estudos por parte dos organismos internacionais, das agências multilaterais e das organizações não governamentais procurando fornecer uma programação globalizada com temas ligados aos direitos humanos. São inúmeras denúncias noticiadas nos meios de comunicação acerca das práticas corruptivas, o que, acarreta no uso de campanhas anticorrupção por parte de governos para repressão a todos aqueles opositores ou críticos da sua gestão. Isso, de certo, modo pode trazer restrições aos direitos dos denunciantes, contribuindo para violação aos direitos humanos de todo e qualquer pessoa identificada como objetivo político, da transparência e publicidade, da liberdade de expressão e pensamento.  O presente trabalho pretende analisar a proteção dos direitos humanos em seus tratados e convenções internacionais, no que diz respeito aos denunciantes e de todos aqueles que investigam casos de corrupção ligados a ilícitos, práticas fraudulentas em organizações de natureza pública e privada. De tal modo que, a participação do cidadão  mediante o livre exercício da liberdade de expressão e do acesso á informação, possibilita o exercício da cidadania, sem censura estatal, como forma de diminuir a incidência dos atos de corrupção e um controle benéfico ao poder público e a iniciativa privada. Palavras chaves: corrupção, direitos humanos e denunciantes.  ABSTRACT Corruption has been taking place within private and democratic institutions, as well as internationally, between the public and private sectors. In the early 1990s, a series of studies by international organizations, multilateral agencies and non-governmental organizations on the subject began to emerge, seeking to provide a globalized programming with themes related to human rights, There are numerous reports in the media about corrupt practices, which leads to the use of anti-corruption campaigns by governments to repress all those who oppose or critically manage them. This, in a way, may bring restrictions on the rights of whistleblowers, contributing to the violation of the human rights of anyone identified as a political objective, transparency and publicity, freedom of expression and thought. This paper aims to analyze the protection of human rights without their international treaties and conventions, with respect to whistleblowers and all those who investigate cases of corruption linked to illicit, fraudulent practices in organizations of a public and private nature. In such a way that citizen participation and access to information make it possible to exercise authentic citizenship as a means of reducing the incidence of acts of corruption and beneficial control of public power and private initiative, and may contain the benefits of corruption to the public. certain privileged groups and sectors. Keywords: corruption, human rights and whistleblowers.

The Relationship

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between media frames and public perceptions of global poverty. Building on a frame analysis, the paper reconstructs prevailing poverty narratives in British news articles and non-governmental organizations’ (NGO’s) advertisements between 2011 and 2013. Following this, these narratives are compared with the narratives that emerge from public opinion studies. The findings suggest that there is a strong connection between media frames and public knowledge and perceptions of global poverty. Both the media and the public define poverty in developing countries’ terms of destitute victims, lack of development and bad governance. Both suggest that the causes of poverty are internal to developing countries and imply that there has been little progress in reducing global poverty.

Systemic Corruption

Relevant governmental bodies and organizations, non-governmental organizations, international organizations and institutions, especially the media, show increased interest in corruption related to the public procurement. Public procurement is the most frequently cited area in the context of systemic corruption for the simple reason that it directly represents the spending of public money on a large scale, which according to OECD data represents about 7-15% of GDP. One of the possible approaches to prevent corruption in public procurement is the systematic building of the integrity of all entities and institutions involved in the public procurement process. Due to the fact that the internal audit way of organization and work is closest to practical issues of public procurement it has the opportunity to achieve the largest coverage of cases for which public funds are engaged.

Abstract Considering the massive environmental problems occurring in Malaysia, the media and the ENGOs are said to play pivotal roles in delivering environmental information to the mass society in order to increase their awareness, knowledge and practices towards the environment and sustainability. This study sought to shed the light on the type of roles can be played by the Malaysian media and the ENGOs in environmental sustainability communication. For the purpose of this study, 24 interviewees encompassing 13 media interviewees from two media organizations, namely Utusan Malaysia and The Star, as well as 11 ENGOs interviewees from two ENGOs organizations, WWF and MNS. The result of this study indicated that although both media and ENGOs seem to have different organizational backgrounds, particularly the media is a profitable organization whilst ENGOs are more non-profit oriented, when it comes to environmental communication, most of them agreed that they share quite similar roles particularly in informing and educating the public about environmental issues and in conducting research on environment and sustainability matters.

Abstract:This essay aims to deepen our comprehension of the economic ethics of different peoples in Asia, as well as realizing a degree of cultural relativism, in order to enhance amicable economic associations. It counterbalances the conventionally strong West-oriented views which regard exotic features of non-Western economies as backward and illogical elements that disturb smooth and orthodox development and, hence, should be eradicated. The author, first, recalls a number of facts which depict the eruptive economic transformation in Asia. He, then, criticizes the imposition of Western-style development and exploitation without excluding Japan’s colonialism in Taiwan and Korea, and pleads for multiple forms of development and modernity. Economic transactions should be analysed in relation to sociocultural aspects, and, therefore, communities and ethics groups play a substantive role between the public and private sectors, the market, and individuals. For instance, small farmers in Southeast Asia, struggling with the weakness of tenant farmers and pressures of the market mechanism, developed ingenious and participatory forms of survival, increasingly supported by non-governmental organizations. Case studies from Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines give a vivid picture of these activities. Because the developing economies are composed of market and non-market sectors, reasonable attention should be given to the ethics beyond market principles, with particular emphasis on community as foundation.

This study maps, characterizes, and conceptualizes the media discourse and coverage of non-governmental organization–school interactions within public education in Israel, while depicting the evolving dynamics and framing of this ever prominent phenomenon. The authors employed two complementary methodologies for the analysis: critical discourse analysis and framing theory. Specifically, this study pinpoints how neo-liberal notions are used and communicated to the public, and what role different newspapers play in framing those interactions and in helping to shape public opinion regarding the new engagements between schools and non-governmental organizations. The authors depict the ways in which school–non-governmental organization interactions are presented and framed to popular and elite audiences, and discuss the possible implications of their findings in light of the growing prominence of external entities in public schooling.

Since 2001, the Aceh provincial administration and legislative council have approved the Qanun Jinayat (behavior-governing bylaw) that obliges public in Aceh to follow sharia, the Islamic legal code. While it has been widely accepted by Aceh Muslims, the sharia implementation on non-muslim has sparked a huge debate. To understand the public opinion on this issue, we conducted face-to-face interviews and surveyed more than two hundreds fifty people in Aceh Tengah about their views following the case of Buddhists who were caned for violating sharia law. From the research that we did, our findings reveal that Acehnese people have different opinion on this. A half our respondents, including the non-Muslims do not see sharia law as a burden for them to live in Aceh. While the others, such as human rights activists and non-governmental organizations reported that this law enactment has prompted human rights abuses. Looking at the divisive views, the national and Aceh government are suggested to take further action to avoid more confusion among Acehnese people and religious conflict in the future. Keywords: Sharia Law, Aceh, Non-MuslimsSejak tahun 2001, pemerintah provinsi dan dewan legislatif Aceh telah menyetujui pemberlakuan Qanun Jinayat (peraturan perundang-undangan) yang mewajibkan masyarakat di Aceh untuk mengikuti syariah, kode hukum Islam. Meskipun telah diterima secara luas oleh Muslim Aceh, implementasi syariah bagi non-Muslim telah memicu perdebatan besar. Untuk memahami opini publik mengenai masalah ini, kami melakukan wawancara tatap muka dan mensurvei lebih dari dua ratus lima puluh orang di Aceh Tengah mengenai pandangan mereka menyusul kasus seorang penganut Buddha yang dicambuk karena melanggar hukum syariah. Dari penelitian yang kami lakukan, temuan kami mengungkapkan bahwa orang Aceh memiliki pendapat yang berbeda-beda mengenai hal ini. Setengah responden kami, termasuk non-Muslim, tidak melihat hukum syariah sebagai beban bagi mereka untuk tinggal di Aceh. Sementara yang lainnya, seperti aktivis Hak Asasi Manusia dan Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat melaporkan bahwa undang-undang ini telah menyebabkan pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia. Melihat pandangan yang terpecah seperti ini, pemerintah pusat dan Aceh disarankan untuk mengambil tindakan lebih lanjut untuk menghindari kebingungan masyarakat Aceh dan konflik agama di masa depan.Kata kunci: Hukum Syariah, Aceh, Non-Muslim

The partial results of a project from CYMMIT are presented in this article, whose objective is to determine the effects of the agricultural reforms of the corn seed industries in the developing countries, specially the role of the private and official sectors in the production of varieties and hybrids and the release of improved seeds. The analysis is based mainly on asurvey of the seed industries, conducted during 1993 and 1994. The results of the analysis of the total sale of improved seed in 1993, prices according to type and seed origin and the participation of the public and private sectors in developingimproved seed in the Central American countries and Mexico are shown here. The main result from the analysis is that the official sectors are withdrawing from the production and sale of seed, and aiming their efforts to wards breeding and germplasm development. Likewise, the private sectors are important factors of the seed production and sale. The private sector depends on the official materials for their seed sales, specially the small locally financed enterprises and cooperatives of seed producers, as well as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's).

The situation with human rights violations in modern Ukraine remains quite acute, as evidenced by various sources at both the international and national levels, official and alternative. In such circumstances, human rights activities are of paramount importance. In the modern human rights field, formal (state) and informal (civil society) structures coexist, and rarely interact. A powerful tool in resolving systemic issues related to human rights is the institution of the ombudsman, represented by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights and the President's specialized commissioners. The informal level is represented by non-governmental human rights NGOs, of which there are currently more than a hundred in Ukraine. They act as organized, structured, registered, etc. associations that work to promote and protect human rights and freedoms, to establish and maintain effective control over the observance of those freedoms and rights by the state, its bodies and officials. To achieve that, human rights organizations work simultaneously in such areas as the protection of human rights in specific cases (advocacy); dissemination of information on human rights, legal education work; analysis of the state of observance of human rights. As it was before, NGOs have different amounts of resources (background, experience, power, influence), depend on funding from foreign donors and compete with each other. One of the main resources for improving the effectiveness of the human rights field is the cooperation of the ombudsman with non-governmental organizations and the public. An example of cooperation is the model of Ukrainian National Preventive Mechanism (NPM), which has been operating in Ukraine since 2012 to prevent torture, although the format of this interaction has been criticized by experts in the context of the limited role of the public. The non-organizational level is represented by the individual practices of Ukrainians in the protection of human rights, the volume of which is increasing, but the efficiency remains low.

The Right

The right of freedom of expression can be named as one of the most important rights and freedoms that have been emphasized on by all the international documents of human rights. Despite the fact that the aforementioned right is a universal right, most of the experts believe that it cannot be absolute and in order to be able to support the public and private rights, it must be restricted to some extent. Now the question is that the restrictions on the freedom of expression are needed to be implemented in what frameworks and based on what principles? In reply to that question we can say that ethics, national security, public order and preservation the rights and reputations of others are the key principles of restrictions on freedom of expression.
