Introduction. Resilience has been proposed as a novel research topic in environments with vulnerable populations, since it promotes healthy development in the face of adverse circumstances. In the case of adolescents without parental care, foster care in social institutions has been one of the resources most used by the State to offer protection and guarantee the human rights of girls, boys and adolescents in Mexico, who may or may not present a disability and who lack a father, mother or guardian, for which by means of these institutions they guarantee the healthy development of minors. Objective. Analyze the levels of resilience in institutionalized adolescents without parental care, with and without disabilities. Method. Analytical transversal. The Asylum Anomie and Nominal Resilience Inventory (IAAR) was applied. 29 adolescents (men) with an age range of 12 to 19 years participated, 24 without disabilities (SD) and 5 with disabilities (CD). Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS v.25 program. Results. 17 adolescents (58.6%) presented resilience, 12 (41.3%) did not present resilience according to the IAAR. Conclusions. In our study, more than half of institutionalized adolescents show resilience according to the IAAR.

The State was responsible and had not provided any explanation of what occurred after persons were taken into detention and had not attempted to justify the lethal use of force, causing a violation of the right to life. State authorities are obligated to conduct some form of effective official investigation when individuals are killed as a result of the use of force. The uncertainty, doubt and apprehension which a mother of victims of grave human rights violations and herself the victim of the authorities' complacency in the face of her distress had suffered over a prolonged and continuing period of time had undoubtedly caused her severe mental distress and anguish. The authorities are required to take effective measures to safeguard against the risk of disappearance and to conduct a prompt effective investigation into an arguable claim that a person had been taken into custody and had not been seen since. Where the relatives of a person has an arguable claim that the latter had disappeared at the hands of the authorities, the notion of an effective remedy entailed, in addition to the payment of compensation where appropriate, a thorough and effective investigation capable of leading to the identification and punishment of those responsible.

Introduction: Suicide is one of the top three reasons of death worldwide for the 15- to 44-year age range. The Brazilian state of Roraima has shown indicators that draw attention when compared to national rates of suicide. In this sense, for the proposal of preventive measures appropriate to the state’s reality, it is important to understand the local epidemiological particularities. Objective: to identify the epidemiological profile of deaths by suicide in the state of Roraima, Brazil, between 2014 and 2017. Methods: Descriptive, population-based documentary research. The source of information was the database from the Brazilian public health system (DATASUS). The analysis included deaths by residence caused by suicide from 2014 to 2017. Cut-outs were established according to the variables incidence by municipality, marital status, age, gender, color/race, place of occurrence and method of suicide. Results: 176 deaths were reported in the state of Roraima during the period studied. The average mortality coefficient was 8,6/100.000 inhabitants. Deaths were more frequent among men (73.9%), aged 20 to 29 years (31.2%), resident in the state capital (52.8%), brown (64.2%) or indigenous (25.6%) and single (69.9%). The main suicide method was hanging, strangulation and suffocation (87.5%), with the domicile being the most usual place (72.1%). Conclusion: The results imply the need to act on the problem, which grows in proportion and gains prominence in the national indicators. Suspicion of suicidal behavior in the face of consolidated data may reduce the incidence.

This article examines Raoul Wallenberg’s work as a diplomat in Budapest between June 1944 and January 1945. It suggests that Wallenberg’s legacy was initially very limited as a result of the state-centric approach to the codification of diplomatic law in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961. Nevertheless, it is argued that the emergence of the so-called “new” diplomacy, coupled with the developing notion of “responsibility to protect” in the face of gross violations of human rights, such as those faced by Wallenberg, have opened up the possibility for diplomats to engage in the process of protecting civilian populations in times of internal strife

O direito estatal à suspensão das obrigações do Pacto Internacional de Direitos Civis e Políticos Resumo: Este artigo dedica-se à análise do artigo 4.º do Pacto Internacional de Direitos Civis e Políticos de 1966, com especial atenção à interpretação do direito estatal à suspensão das obrigações internacionais. Cabe, atualmente, ao Conselho de Direitos Humanos das Nações Unidas a tarefa de investigar os casos em que esta suspensão acontece, bem como fiscalizar os motivos da suspensão e estabelecer os parâmetros considerados legítimos. Os direitos humanos trazidos pelo Pacto Internacional sobre os Direitos Civis e Políticos, além dos demais tratados em matéria de direitos humanos, limitam o direito estatal de suspensão. As medidas aplicadas pelo Estado que evocam o direito de derrogação precisam ser consideradas estritamente necessárias e sua adoção, fundamentada e temporária; caso contrário, o Estado derrogador será considerado violador das obrigações assumidas na ordem internacional. Somente o instrumento da denúncia é capaz de desobrigar o Estado dos acordos firmados e, ainda assim, essa desvinculação não alcançariam em tese certos costumes internacionais nem, tampouco, as normas de ius cogens ou obrigações erga omnes. Infere-se que a lógica do artigo 4.º, também presente na Convenção Europeia de Direitos Humanos, está norteada pela preservação do Estado Democrático de Direito conforme se extraiu da criação da categoria dos direitos irrevogáveis. Além disso, mesmo diante da possibilidade de suspensão parcial e temporária dos direitos, o Conselho de Direitos Humanos não deixa de fiscalizar a atuação do Estado, pelo contrário, esse Conselho passa a emitir recomendações mais contundentes contra o Estado. Palavras-chave: Direito de suspensão. Direitos humanos. Direito Internacional. Pacto Internacional de Direitos Civis e Políticos. _____ The state right to the suspension of the obligations of the international covenant on civil a: nd political right Abstract: This article is devoted to the analysis of the article 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), 1966, with special attention to the interpretation of state law to the suspension of international obligations. The UN Human Rights Council is now responsible for investigating the cases in which this suspension takes place, as well as monitoring the reasons for the suspension and establishing the parameters considered legitimate. The human rights brought by the ICCPR, in addition to the other human rights treaties, limit the State's right to suspend. The measures applied by the State that evoke the right of derogation must be considered strictly necessary and the adoption, substantiated and temporary. Otherwise, the derogating State shall be considered as violating the obligations assumed in the international order. Only the instrument of denunciation can release the State from the agreements reached and, even so, that untying would not achieve in theory certain international customs nor the norms of jus cogens or obligations erga omnes. It is inferred that the logic of Article 4, which is also present in the European Convention on Human Rights, is guided by the preservation of the Democratic Rule of Law as derived from the creation of the category of irrevocable rights. Moreover, even in the face of the possibility of partial and temporary suspension of rights, the Human Rights Council does not cease to supervise the actions of the State; on the contrary, this Council is issuing more forceful recommendations against the State. Keywords: Human rights. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. International Law. Right of suspension.

Edmund Burke is considered the father of conservatism. With his ‘Reflections on the French Revolution’ (1790), Burke presented a work that was already controversial at the time of its publication. In Burke’s understanding, people and their social institutions are historical beings that are subject to change but unchanging in the face of all change. The central concept in Burke’s argument is heritage, which encompasses both collective, historical memory and social organisation, and specifically refers to constitutional traditions. Society is hierarchically structured and forms an organic unit based on a necessary balance between the principles of continuity and regeneration. According to Burke, the state is the coagulated historical rationality of people who must be taken at least as seriously as contemporaries in their efforts to shape a good order.

Social rights are fundamental rights, with praise in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, being the State responsible for its supervision and effectiveness.However, it is well known that it is often not fully enforced, which is why the Labour Court becomes a very important body for achieving legal certainty not only for workers' rights, but also for analysing the contradictory and broad defence, by employers.As a means of resolving this dispute between the parties, conciliation and mediation are one of the most valuable ways of trying to pacify this dispute and of possibly satisfying social rights that have not been applied, and that in relation to the latter is the best to be used as correct terminology, adding the fact that Labor Justice is the pioneer in its application in the law of the fatherland.This method has also been of great value in the present times, providing legal certainty between the parties, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for continuity of the work of the Judiciary Branch in a remote way, noting further, that in relation to the production of evidence, it is divergent, but in relation to mediation in the audience, there is no doubt that it is agrand method to be applied.To achieve the specific objectives, the method used was deductive, starting from the general premise on the concept of Mediation and Conciliation and for that, bringing this approach on social rights, as a fundamental right andits historical aspects.

The article discusses ways to protect constitutional identity in the face of serious pressure on the traditional sociocultural values of the peoples of Russia. The author proves the need for a comprehensive theoretical justification of optimal legal methods to counter modern geopolitical threats, including by protecting constitutional sovereignty and ensuring constitutional security. According to the author, the constitutional-legal model of the organization of life of society and the state should be based on solidarity of public notions and traditional sociocultural values. The partial synchronization of legal systems, necessary for the normal coexistence of various states, does not imply their complete unification. However, the development of clear criteria for classifying these or those norms as defining national constitutional identity requires a serious ideological and scientific-theoretical justification. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that Russia is a multinational and multiconfessional state, which greatly complicates the identified problem. The author believes that the protection of constitutional sovereignty should not harm world cooperation in the field of protecting human rights and create the prerequisites for using constitutional identity as an instrument of «selective» action. Having positively assessed the constitutional legal consolidation and justification of the mechanism for overcoming constitutional and conventional conflicts, the author advocates the need to continue the «dialogue» between the bodies of constitutional and conventional justice.

Contradictions in society, the struggle between social groups and conflicts of public interests increase the importance and relevance of social compromise, capable of ensuring the stability and orderliness of human behavior, the formation of certain levels of organization of society, ensuring the systematic social institutions. Given the significant increase in the importance of the state as a means of ensuring the coherence of social processes and law as a means of reflecting, securing, guaranteeing and restoring public interests, problems of researching legal compromise are actualized. The need for its doctrinal analysis is a legitimate requirement that arises in societies embarking on the path of building a democratic, social, rule of law. Compromise (from the Latin Compromissum) is an agreement reached on the basis of mutual concessions. For the first time, the term "compromise" was introduced into scientific research by A. Comte, who believed that without reaching a compromise in society there was no opportunity for its development, since social relations, both in statics and dynamics, need coherence for their normal implementation. Such coherence, in other words consensus, is based on the principles of interaction of different types and levels, harmony of parts and the whole, and is aimed at securing the interests of participants in public relations. Already in ancient philosophy, a foundation was laid for the study of compromise as one of the basic elements of achieving a public good and building an ideal society. Its representatives, exploring models of the ideal social order, addressed the problems of integration of society, the combination of its various elements, stability and efficiency of the functioning of the state, as well as the means of achieving social compromise. Ancient researchers have proposed a number of ideas that still have value today. It can be argued that ancient philosophers began to study the political structure of the state, its regimes of government and their means of securing public consensus, including the category of "compromise". However, they did not yet specify definitions of compromise, consensus, integration, consent, but only considered them within the general categories of “integrity” and “unity”. Representatives of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance continued to study the compromise as one of the foundations of the functioning of society, enriched the concepts of Plato and Aristotle came up with their original ideas. However, in the spirit of the ideas of ancient philosophers, they viewed compromise not as an independent category, but as an element of a means of forming a state and society - either coercion or violent compromise (N. Machiavelli), or Christian dogmas (F. Aquinas). They failed to address the issue of compromise as one of the defining principles of establishing a democratic regime in society. The ideas of modern-day Enlighteners to designate the category of "compromise" have become the methodological basis for modern-day researchers and present in the study of the problem of public consent. Modern problems of research of the category of "compromise" are based on the continuity of the theories and ideas of precursors-thinkers of different times and peoples, from the time of antiquity to the present. In its turn, the current state of the study of the category of "compromise", including as a basis for the functioning of a democratic rule of law, is characterized by ideas about the adequate definition of this category. The essence of the compromise is formed on the basis of a combination of material (value-orientation and anthropological-communicative sphere of being subjects) and procedural (procedural-mode and regulatory sphere of being subjects) components and consists in reaching public agreement by non-violent methods that reduce or impede one subject to another. Thus, a compromise is an instrument of public consent and a means of final resolution of the conflict, based on mutual concessions, which is of value and orientation and is the basis for the formation of a democratic regime in society. The role of legal compromise in ensuring human rights lies in the possibility of legally securing means that guarantee a certain level of communication in the sphere of opportunities provided by society or the state to a person. Legal compromise is one of the defining principles of the functioning of a democratic regime, the basis of the legitimation of power, which is the subject of the consolidation and guarantee of human rights. It is an effective means of redressing legal conflicts in the field of human rights; legal compromise causes legal consequences for public relations entities, including by applying coercive means to entities that do not perform their duties or violate the rights of other entities. Finally, legal compromise is a prerequisite for any legal relationship in the field of human rights. It is the achievement of a legal compromise in the field of human rights that provides an opportunity to resolve emerging conflicts and determines the level of effectiveness of the state's activities in the specified field. Keywords: law, legal compromise, human rights, society, state.

Democracies and authoritarian regimes have different approaches to international law, grounded in their different forms of government. As the balance of power between democracies and non-democracies shifts, it will have consequences for international legal order. Human rights may face severe challenges in years ahead, but citizens of democratic countries may still benefit from international legal cooperation in other areas. Ranging across several continents, this volume surveys the state of democracy-enhancing international law, and provides ideas for a way forward in the face of rising authoritarianism.
