The entire established system of international legal protection of social rights is fulfilled by the idea of decent human existence. Its norms, defending at first glance the heterogeneous categories of social rights – labor, social, health and educational – are united by the unified principle of dignified life. Decent human existence justifies the unity and indivisibility of all social rights. It is the moral source of their protection under international law.

The paper is an approach to present the category of social rights in the background of entire legal system of the human rights protection. It is particularly dealing with the issue of nature of the 2nd generation of human rights and its significance for society. It starts with a brief presentation of the philosophical (human dignity) and normative roots as well as a short historical view of the human rights’ codification; the established legal terminology (human rights, fundamental rights, individual rights and liberties) and various levels of the legal protection (international – of global or regional nature, supranational and national one). Thereafter it focuses directly on the issue of social rights. Unlike the 1st generation of human rights, they are rather connected with public activity, policy and services (facere) than with autonomy and liberty (non facere). This, in turn, demands appropriate institutional structures and procedures. Social rights are hardly provided – in a binding and effective way – by global or regional international law. Thus, the burden of their protection, guaranty and execution is satisfied by the particular state and depends on its economic and social circumstances. On the other hand – they significance is based on fact that they serve the protection of social security which is the fundamental issue for both – dignity and sense of community.

As Professor Jastram has noted, in and of itself, international refugee law is not explicit enough on the issue at hand. It is not clear enough in protecting persons who come in aid of, or show solidarity to, refugees or asylum-seekers. That does not mean, however, that no protections exist for them at all in other, if you like, sub-bodies of international law. This presentation focuses on the nature and character of those already existing international legal protections, as well as on any protection gaps that remain and recommendations on how they can be closed. It should be noted though that although the bulk of the presentation focuses on the relevant international legal protection arguments, this presentation begins with a short examination of the nature of the acts of criminalization and suppression at issue.

This study aims to explain the protection of international law against countries that are illegally intercepted by other countries and explain the method of dispute settlement conducted by Indonesia in resolving inter-state conflicts resulting from Australian interception to Indonesia in 2013. This study uses a normative-juridical legal research method, by using legislation, case study , and conceptual approach with library data sources. The result shows that international law has not provided sufficient protection to countries intercepted or tapped by other countries. The method of dispute resolution used by Indonesia in solving wiretapping case with Australia is the peaceful settlement of international disputes through negotiation. Therefore, regulations concerning cross-country intercepting must be established immediately, thus legal protection of the tapped countries could be proceeded, and the two countries must establish a code of conduct.

In social law disputes, a multitude of social problems come to light for legal claimants. However, if the plaintiffs cannot enforce their claims in social proceedings due to procedural obstacles, social rights remain merely a theoretical construct. This study addresses the question of how effective legal protection can be guaranteed in social law disputes. It elaborates the theoretical foundations of effective legal protection in social law disputes. By means of a legal comparison between the differently designed social court proceedings in Germany and Slovenia, it systematically examines the extent to which effective legal protection is guaranteed in each case.

Nature is one of the most important pillars of human life, which is why the environment has been considered in all historical periods. At first, contemporary international law seeks to protect the environment as part of international environmental law, but the inadequacy of this protection and the need to protect the environment for Nowadays's human beings and future generations, the link between the environment and human rights It was considered because legal protection of human rights could be a means to protect the environment. Hence, in the context of the third generation of human rights, a new right called "the right to the environment" was created in international human rights instruments, in which the environment was raised as a human right. This right is not only a reminder of the solidarity rights that are categorized in the third generation of human rights, but also necessary for the realization of many human rights, civil, political or economic, social and cultural rights. However, the exercise of this right requires a level of development which in turn provides for a greater degree of environmental degradation. Hence, the international community since the nineties has promoted the idea of sustainable development at all levels of national, regional and the international has put it on its agenda.

Abstract Armed conflicts are characterised by violence and human rights violations with various implications on the citizens, economy and development of nations. The impact is however more pronounced with life-long consequences on children, the most vulnerable members of the society. This article examines the impact of non-international armed conflicts on children in Nigeria and identifies the laws for the protection of children against armed conflicts, both in international law and Nigeria’s domestic law. It also addresses the challenges involved in the protection of children in armed conflict situations in Nigeria. The study found that legal efforts to protect children have not been given sufficient attention in Nigeria. This is mostly due to various challenges including the fragmentation of legal framework and the refusal to domesticate relevant treaties. It is thus recommended that these challenges be addressed through the implementation of effective legal frameworks.
