RESUMEN En el trabajo se enfocar�, en general, la actualidad y la prospectiva de la interrelaci�n de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos �Corte IDH� y las cortes supremas o tribunales constitucionales latinoamericanos. Ya en particular, se abordar� la importancia del �control de convencionalidad� principalmente a cargo de los jueces nacionales, que consiste en verificar la adecuaci�n de las normas jur�dicas internas que aplican en casos concretos a la Convenci�n Americana sobre Derechos Humanos �CADH� y a los est�ndares interpretativos de la Corte IDH. Asimismo, se argumentar� sobre la importancia de trazar una l�nea de cooperaci�n entre los tribunales internos y la Corte IDH y de intensificar un di�logo jurisprudencial entre ambas jurisdicciones en orden a que los tribunales locales lleven adelante una interpretaci�n conforme a la CADH y a los pronunciamientos de la Corte IDH, pero que correlativamente �sta tenga presente las observaciones que desde los contextos jurisdiccionales nacionales se formulen a los criterios del tribunal interamericano. Ello as�, para fortalecer cualitativamente la tutela multinivel de los derechos humanos y disminuir los riesgos de eventuales dificultades pr�cticas en la aplicaci�n del �control de convencionalidad�. La aconsejable cooperaci�n entre ambas instancias jurisdiccionales no apunta a una relaci�n jer�rquica entre ellos, sino a una conexi�n cooperativa en la hermen�utica pro persona de los derechos humanos. Es que las respectivas Constituciones Pol�ticas de los Estados latinoamericanos, con la �fuerza normativa� que les es inherente, y los instrumentos internacionales sobre derechos humanos (principalmente, la CADH y la interpretaci�n que de �sta realiza la Corte IDH), conforman un cuerpo jur�dico que orienta su vigencia hacia un id�ntico sustrato axiol�gico: la salvaguardia de los derechos fundamentales, expresi�n directa de la dignidad de la persona. PALABRAS CLAVE Derechos fundamentales. Control de convencionalidad. Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Tribunales internos. Di�logo jurisprudencial cr�tico. ABSTRACT Generally speaking, the paper will focus on today and the prospect of the interrelationship between the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) and national courts. In particular, the work will address the importance of �conventionality control� mainly by domestic judges, which consists of verifying the adequacy of internal legal rules that apply in specific cases, to the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR) and interpretive standards of the IACHR. Besides, the author will argue about the importance of drawing a line of cooperation among domestic courts and the IACHR and intensifying a case-law dialogue between both jurisdictions in order to take forward an interpretation according to the ACHR and the pronouncements of the IACHR, but at the same time it keep in mind the comments that the national legal contexts put to the criteria of the Inter-American Court. That is so qualitatively strengthen multi-level protection human rights and reduce the risk of possible practical difficulties in implementing the "control of conventionality". The desirable cooperation between the two jurisdictions (Inter-American and domestic) does not point to a hierarchical relationship between them, but to a cooperative connection in �pro persona� hermeneutics of human rights. This is because the Constitutions of the Latin-American States, with the �normative power� inherent in them, and international human rights instruments (mainly the ACHR and the interpretation that around it performs the IACHR), give life to a legal block that directs its force to an axiologically identical substrate: safeguarding fundamental rights, direct expression of the dignity of the individual. KEY WORDS: Fundamental Rights. Conventionality control. Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Domestic courts. Critical jurisprudential dialogue.

The Right

Resumen: El derecho a la libre expresión tiene un alcance sumamente amplio. Incluye, entre otras, la manifestación de ideas y opiniones que otros pueden considerar profundamente ofensivas y perturbadoras. Por su naturaleza radical, este derecho suele entrar en colisión con otros derechos fundamentales, como el derecho a la honra, a la privacidad, al olvido, a la libertad religiosa o con las normas que resguardan la seguridad nacional o la circulación del “discurso de odio”. Estas tensiones, que atraviesan al derecho a la libre expresión, quedan frecuentemente manifiestas en fallos y posicionamientos de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. El presente trabajo se propone analizar las distintas perspectivas teóricas que subyacen a los posicionamientos de esta Corte en relación al “discurso del odio”. Como veremos, en los pronunciamientos de la Corte y los demás órganos que conforman el Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos conviven, dentro de un marco liberal, distintas concepciones que van desde los principios liberales clásicos hasta posturas más cercanas al liberalismo igualitario. Palabras clave: Discurso de odio, libertad de expresión, Sistema Interamericano de Derechos HumanosAbstract: The freedom of speech has an extremely wide scope. It namely preserves the free expression of ideas and opinions that others might find profoundly offensive and disturbing. Due to its radical nature, this freedom can either collide with other fundamental rights, such as the right to honor, to privacy, to oblivion or to religious freedom, or with certain rules that preserve the national security or the circulation of “hate speech”. These tensions crossing the freedom of speech are frequently expressed in judgments and declarations of the Interamerican Court of Human Rights. This work seeks to account for the different theoretical perspectives undermining the arguments presented by this Court regarding “hate speech”. As to be seen, different conceptions within a liberal framework coexist in the declarations issued by the Court and rest of bodies that comprise the Interamerican System of Human Rights, ranging from those that follow classic liberal principles to more egalitarian liberalism-oriented positions. Keywords: Hate speech, freedom of speech, Inter-American Human Rights System.

Historical Origins

It is a fact that the doctrine of Militant Democracy is essential to protect society from the threat of terrorism. On the other hand, we should not ignore the element of its interpretive nature, which means that there is an apprehension that the states having a poor human rights record may use it to achieve their ulterior motives while damaging the fundamental rights of the individual. In Europe, the ECtHR and domestic courts at the national level are duty-bound to save these fundamental rights. Hence, the doctrine of proportionality is an essential tool to check the militant democracy measures on the fundamental freedoms and human rights. To understand the authenticity of the doctrine of proportionality, it is essential to establish its origin and stages of evolution, because this will enable me to explore the use of this doctrine, which is adopted by many nations, before analyzing its use in the UK’s legal system.

Abstract Planetary interdependence makes the task of states and international organizations to guarantee security inside and outside national borders ever more urgent. The tendency is to widen the space from national to international and to conceive of security as multidimensional for the satisfaction of human needs, assumed as priority needs with respect to those of the States. The old concept of national security must today confront the new concept of human security cultivated within the United Nations, which places the fundamental rights of the individual and of people at the centre of attention and lays the foundations for overcoming the traditional politics of power. The concept of human security emphasises the security of the individual and his protection from political violence, war and arbitrariness. It takes account of the strong correlation between peace policy, human rights policy, migration policy and humanitarian policy. The contribution provides, through a series of social indicators such as the Global Peace Index (GPI), Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) and the World International Security and Policy Index (WISPI), a framework on risk, security, human rights violations in the African continent and examines some significant case studies related to sub-Saharan Africa.

O conceito de humanismo passou por transformações ao longo do tempo. Desde a Grécia Antiga até a contemporaneidade, formou-se um caleidoscópio humanista que abarca significados diversos e, até mesmo, antagônicos. Este artigo propõe uma investigação sobre o humanismo, tendo como objetivo a formulação do humanismo ético para, em seguida, conectá-lo aos direitos humanos. Para isso, considera-se a contribuição de Emmanuel Lévinas (1993, 2008) no que concerne à responsabilidade pelo Outro, bem como a formulação da ética como relacional de acordo com Olinto Pegoraro (2005). A partir disso, buscamos aproximar humanismo ético e direitos humanos. No entanto, é preciso entender os direitos humanos dentro de uma perspectiva polissêmica que também marca o humanismo, trazendo para essa relação a noção de direitos humanos contra-hegemônicos, conforme proposta por Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2014). Humanismo ético e direitos humanos encontram-se no desejo de transformação da realidade a partir da reflexão e da ação. Assim, concluímos que os direitos humanos, em sua translação contra-hegemônica, com sua pulsão pela positivação de direitos e pela valorização das diferenças e da diversidade, são atravessados por um humanismo ético que está profundamente conectado com o desejo de mudança social e de responsabilidade pelo Outro, numa perspectiva levinaseana.   Del humanismo ético a los derechos humanos El concepto de humanismo ha experimentado transformaciones a lo largo del tiempo. Desde la Antigua Grecia hasta la época contemporánea, se formó un caleidoscopio humanista que engloba significados diferentes o incluso antagónicos. Este estudio propone una investigación sobre el humanismo con el objetivo de formular el humanismo ético y luego conectarlo con los derechos humanos. Para eso, consideramos la contribución de Emmanuel Lévinas (1993, 2008) con respecto a la responsabilidad para con el Otro, así como la formulación de la ética como relacional según Olinto Pegoraro (2005). A partir de esto, buscamos aunar el humanismo ético y los derechos humanos. Sin embargo, es necesario entender los derechos humanos desde una perspectiva polisémica que también marca el humanismo, trayendo a esta relación la noción de derechos humanos contrahegemónicos, como propone Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2014). El humanismo ético y los derechos humanos se encuentran en el deseo de transformar la realidad a través de la reflexión y la acción. Así, concluimos que los derechos humanos, en su traducción contrahegemónica, con su afán por la positivación de los derechos y por valorar las diferencias y la diversidad, están atravesados por un humanismo ético que está profundamente conectado con el deseo de cambio social y con la responsabilidad por el Otro, en un perspectiva levinaseana. Palabras clave: Humanismo. Ética. Lévinas. Derechos humanos.   From ethical humanism to human rights The concept of humanism has undergone transformations over time. From ancient Greece to contemporary times, a humanistic kaleidoscope was formed that encompasses different and even antagonistic meanings. This article proposes an investigation on humanism, aiming at the formulation of ethical humanism and then connecting it with human rights. For this, we consider Emmanuel Lévinas contributions (1993, 2008) regarding responsibility for the Other, as well as the notion of ethics as relational according to Olinto Pegoraro (2005). Also, we seek to bring together ethical humanism and human rights. However, it is necessary to understand human rights within a polysemic perspective that also marks humanism, bringing to this relation the notion of counter-hegemonic human rights, as proposed by Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2014). Ethical humanism and human rights come together with the desire to transform reality through reflection and action. Thus, we conclude that human rights, in their counter-hegemonic translation with their drive for positivation of rights and differences and diversity valorization are crossed by an ethical humanism that is deeply connected with the desire for social change and responsibility for the Other, in a Levinasean perspective. Keywords: Humanism. Ethic. Lévinas. Human Rights.

 The present article reveals the role and policy of Armed Police Force Nepal in safeguarding human rights. One of the primary missions of the APF Nepal is to protect the citizens from criminal activity and criminal elements and to maintain public order. This duty includes protecting the rights of every citizen. Armed forces have the duty to protect the individual human rights of every person they encounter. This is an affirmative duty, meaning the police services cannot knowingly ignore or intentionally fail to act when a human rights violation is observed. The Armed Police Force has mandated tasks related to protection, promotion, respect and fulfillment of human rights from various aspects. The research has reached in conclusion: Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behavior and are regularly protected as a legal right in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable, universal and indivisible fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being. To achieve this objective APF Nepal has adopted zero tolerance in Human Rights violations and following national and international human rights instrument that have been adopted by Nepal.
