RREVIDH - rede restaurativa, educativa de vídeo e direitos humanos: um programa para empoderamento de comunidades e fortalecimento da cultura da paz / RREVIDH - restorative, educational video network and human rights: a program for empowering communities and strengthening the culture of peace

Abstract. Human rights have advanced to an important category of peace and international politics in recent decades. The reference document for human rights is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which emphasizes, among other things, the relevance of human rights education. However, this topic has been largely neglected in empirical research until now. Peace psychology might contribute to a better understanding of human rights education. The present article examines effects of human rights education on knowledge, attitudes, and commitment concerning human rights. Three university seminars dealing with human rights as one of two principal topics formed the background for three quasiexperimental studies with pre-/posttest designs. All studies demonstrate that even short-time human rights education can increase the knowledge about human rights and enhance positive attitudes and commitment concerning human rights. The discussion stresses the importance of further empirical studies on human rights education for a culture of peace.

This monograph aims to disseminate the results of various research studies carried out in the field of social and community psychology. The studies focus on efforts to build a culture of peace in post-conflict contexts and societies that have suffered collective and socio-political violence, with multiple and persistent human rights violations. Six studies on the psychosocial effects of transitional justice rituals from Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Basque country, Chile, and Ecuador compose this issue. This issue presents a series of results regarding the effects of reparation rituals and Truth Commissions, combining different methods and analysis strategies, including general population surveys, newspaper and social media content analysis, community intervention assessments and qualitative documentary analysis. Finally, two review books were included. First, a Peace Psychology Book that explores the implications and difficulties faced by societies that have experienced large-scale collective violence. Second, the problem of human rights violations and how to confront them, socio-political conflicts and the building of a culture of democracy and peace in Latin America are transversal axes of the chapters of this second book.

Ecological Thinking

Taking the Earth Charter’s preamble as a beginning, this work calls for “ecological thinking” as a way of seeing and interpreting an interdependent world where we seek “to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace.” Incorporating poems and personal reflections, this braided essay grows out of the author’s experiences in Everglades National Park. As defined by Corey (2016), the braided essay offers “various threads of writing...nearly always without overt transition..., “each part having its own meaning, within “an obliquely accumulating larger impact” (pp. 7–8).

CULTURA DE PAZ E DIÁLOGO NO ÂMBITO DA COOPERAÇÃO ENTRE AS RELIGIÕES NA CONTENÇÃO DO EXTREMISMO QUE LEVA AO TERRORISMO CULTURE OF PEACE AND DIALOGUE IN THE CONTEXT OF COOPERATION BETWEEN RELIGIONS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST EXTREMISM LEADING TO TERRORISM Alex Sander Xavier Pires* RESUMO: As instabilidades sócio-políticas vêm se intensificando nos últimos anos com maior visibilidade dos conflitos armados e atos de violência, especialmente contra civis, motivados por discursos de ideologia religiosa conducentes a perseguições e extermínios injustificados de pessoas contrários às premissas de direitos humanos. Assim, as Nações Unidas intensificaram a campanha para consecução do princípio maior de garantia da paz em ambiente de segurança internacional para todos, centrado na difusão de uma cultura de paz inspirada na eliminação de todas as formas de intolerância e discriminação fundadas na religião acolhedora da indução de um Direito à Paz (A/RES/71/189), que favorece a análise da coerência do discurso atual pelo viés normativo inspirado no diálogo assentado nas Resoluções da Assembleia Geral, especialmente a A/RES/71/249. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Cultura de paz. Diálogo. Cooperação. Religião. Terrorismo. ABSTRACT: In recent years, socio-political instability has intensified with increased visibility of armed conflicts and acts of violence, especially against civilians, motivated by discourses of religious ideology leading to unjustified persecutions and murders of people opposed to human rights premises. The United Nations has therefore stepped up its campaign to achieve the principle of guaranteeing peace in an international security environment for all, converging to spread a culture of peace inspired by the elimination of all forms of intolerance and discrimination based on the religion that induces A Right to Peace (A/RES/71/189), which favors the analysis of the coherence of the current discourse by the normative bias inspired by the dialogue based on the Resolutions of the General Assembly, especially A/RES/71/249.

A survey of the proliferating literature by Muslims on ecology indicates that the majority favors some role for traditional Islamic law in order to solve the current environmental crisis. And so what is the meaning of the word “Shari’a” that appears so often? A close look at this discourse reveals an inherent fuzziness in its use of Shari’a. All of the scholar/activists surveyed in this paper, though on the conservative end of the spectrum, chiefly refer to “Shari’a” as a source of ethical values. The first to address these issues was Iranian-American philosopher Seyyed Hossein Nasr whose pluralist theology is hospitable to the spiritual input of all faiths; yet the most influential environmentalists today are the British scholars Mawil Izzi Dien and Fazlun Khalid, whose writings and campaigns have impacted millions of Muslims worldwide. Their appeal to past norms of eco-friendly Shari’a norms and their desire to update them in the present context fits nicely with the Earth’s Charter call for “a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace.”

This article arises before the panorama of the political, economic and social crisis that the neighboring country of Venezuela has suffered in recent years, which has caused a large number of the Venezuelan population to migrate to different countries in search of better life conditions. Among them are boys and girls, who, faced with the need to continue their educational process, have begun their studies in various public schools in the city of San José de Cúcuta. This new phenomenon has caused a change in school environments, with different consequences, including the ever-increasing risk of problems of discrimination and xenophobia, where Venezuelan boys and girls may be exposed to abuse due to their socio-economic condition and their age. Based on this situation, the Human Rights Research Seedbed –SEMDHUM-, attached to the Law program of the Francisco de Paula Santander University, proposed an extension project that developed a culture of peace and coexistence, based on the investigation of the International and national normative framework regarding the right to education and equality of migrant children, educational pedagogical spaces were also generated in public primary educational institutions in the city of San José de Cúcuta, in order to raise awareness and train on the rights of migrant children in school and thus appropriate children in human rights, equality and non-discrimination. To carry out this project, the qualitative methodology and the pedagogical play method were applied, through activities and games, where the child learns and demonstrates their different perspectives and knowledge, improving the student and cultural environment.
