The right to work has been recognized as a fundamental human right in almost all international human rights documents and in the constitutions of many countries. This right has been recognized and guaranteed as a fundamental human right also in the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey. However, not only recognizing and guaranteeing "work" as a fundamental human right but also regulating its implementation and functioning within the framework of laws is of great importance. The concept of overwork is a concept that has been mentioned in the Labor Law regarding the implementation and functioning of the concept of work and it is regulated in our Labor Law No. 4857. In order to talk about overwork, a limited working time is required. In this context, upon determining the maximum number of hours a worker can work per week by drawing a limit on working hours in Labor Law No. 4857, overwork, which is the subject of work exceeding this period, is defined. Furthermore, the types of overwork that arise depending on the reasons for overworking, as well as the jobs that cannot be overworked, are regulated in the same Law.

ResumenSin duda alguna, en épocas de crisis como la que vivimos desde hace años, que se ha mostrado especialmente intensa en España, el Derecho al trabajo es uno de los que resultan más perjudicados. Se trata de un Derecho fundamental del ser humano y, como tal, aparece recogido en la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos, formando parte de ese “ideal común” que todos los pueblos y naciones deben esforzarse en conseguir. En España, el desempleo ha alcanzado niveles tan elevados que se ha convertido en la principal preocupación de los españoles (prácticamente en todas las familias hay al menos un miembro en “paro”). La situación es desoladora, habiéndose llegado a rozar los 6 millones de trabajadores en situación de desempleo, resultando evidente que el país debe continuar la reforma en el ámbito laboral poniendo en práctica políticas activas que permitan la reducción de esta cifra y la normalización del mercado de trabajo. Sin embargo, no menos importante será la adopción de medidas para la protección de los millones de desempleados, que viéndose privados de trabajo, principal fuente de ingresos para la mayoría de ellos, carecen de los recursos necesarios para hacer frente a sus necesidades básicas y las de sus familias.AbstractWithout any doubt, in times of crisis, as the one we have been currently living for years, the right to work has been particularly affected. It is a Fundamental Human Right, as it is expressed in the Universal Declarationof Human Rights, shaping this “common ideal” towards which all the people and nations must try to achieve. In Spain, unemployment has reached such levels that it has become the main subject of preoccupation among Spaniards (in almost all families, there is at least one unemployed individual). The situation is devastating, as almost 6 million of people are unemployed, urging the country to carry on its labour reforms, implementing active policies that enable to reduce this number and to normalize the labour market. It will be also important to adopt some measures to protect millions of unemployed individuals who, having no job, (as the main source of income for them), are lacking the necessary means to cope with the basic needs of themselves and their families. ResumoSem dúvida, em tempos de crise como a que temos vivenciado há anos, e que tem demostrado ser particularmente intensa na Espanha, o direito ao trabalho tem sido particularmente prejudicado. Trata-se de um direito humano fundamental e como tal, aparece na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, formando parte desse “ideal comum” que todos os povos e nações devem buscar realizar. Na Espanha, o desemprego atingiu níveis tão elevados que se tornou a principal preocupação dos Espanhóis (praticamente todos em todas as famílias lares têm pelo menos um membrosem emprego). A situação é sombria, tendo em vista que há quase 6 milhões de desempregados, exigindo que o país prossiga com suas reformas trabalhistas, implementando políticas públicas ativas que permitam reduzir essa cifra e normalizar o mercado do trabalho. Torna-se importante adotar medidas que protejam os milhões de desempregados que, sem emprego– principal fonte de ingressos para a maioria deles –, carecem dos recursos necessários às suas necessidades básicas e de suas famílias.

As a basic principle, the "right to work" is guaranteed under the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia. This human right is further elaborated primarily in the Labor Law, but also in other laws that stipulate the conditions for the establishment, exercise and termination of employment. This paper emphasizes the possibility of restricting both natural and legal persons, including entrepreneurs, to practicing a particular profession, activity or duty, resulting from the imposition of criminal sanctions. The security and protective measures in the criminal law of the Republic of Serbia prohibiting the practice of specific activities are also emphasized. One of the aims is to point out the consequences of the measures imposed, which are often more severe than the sentence itself.

O direito social ao trabalho como condição à busca pela felicidade  The social right to work as a condition to persuade happiness  Victor Hugo de Almeida* Camila Martinelli Sabongi** Igor Assagra Rodrigues Barbosa***  REFERÊNCIA ALMEIDA, Victor Hugo de; SABONGI, Camila Martinelli; BARBOSA, Igor Assagra Rodrigues. O direito social ao trabalho como condição à busca pela felicidade. Revista da Faculdade de Direito da UFRGS, Porto Alegre, n. 38, p. 220-233, ago. 2018. RESUMOABSTRACTConquanto não haja previsão explícita no ordenamento pátrio, o direito à felicidade tem sido estampado em diversas decisões judiciais como desdobramento do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, relacionando-se, ainda, com a concretização dos direitos sociais e dos valores sociais do trabalho, fundamentos previstos constitucionalmente. Elencado como direito mínimo e indispensável à garantia de uma existência digna, tendo como escopo a preservação, o direito ao trabalho livre e emancipador é constitucionalmente previsto, de importância reconhecida para o pleno desenvolvimento do indivíduo, tanto para suprir suas necessidades essenciais, possibilitando sua existência digna, mas também como forma de se realizar pessoal e socialmente. Este artigo visa analisar os contornos do direito ao trabalho, sua relação com o direito à busca pela felicidade e a concretude desses na realidade do indivíduo no mundo contemporâneo do trabalho. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza teórico-exploratória, pautada no método de levantamento de dados por meio da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, e, como método de abordagem, o indutivo. A análise proposta evidencia a necessidade de se implementar políticas públicas de conscientização que prezem pela efetivação dos direitos humanos, sociais e trabalhistas, de forma a promover o direito ao trabalho digno, realizador e emancipador, que corrobore com o bem-estar do trabalhador, possibilitando, assim, a felicidade em sua plenitude, tanto coletiva como subjetiva.  Although there is no explicit provision in the country's legal system, the right to happiness has been printed in several judicial decisions as a result of the principle of the dignity of the human person, and is related to the realization of social rights and social values of work, fundamentals provided for in the Constitution. Classified as a minimum and indispensable right to guarantee a dignified existence, having as its objective the preservation, the right to free and emancipatory work is constitutionally foreseen, of recognized importance for the full development of the individual, both to meet their essential needs, enabling their existence dignified, but also as a way of achieving oneself personally and socially. This work aims to analyze the right to work contours, its relation to the right to pursuit happiness and the concreteness of both rights in person’s reality in the contemporary world of work. This is a theoretical and exploratory research guided by a data collection method through literature research technique, and as an approach method, it will be used the inductive method. The proposed analysis evidences the need to implement public awareness-raising policies that promote the realization of human, social and labor rights, in order to promote the right to decent, fulfilling and emancipatory work that corroborates the worker's well-being, thus making happiness possible in its fullness, both collective and subjective.PALAVRAS-CHAVEKEYWORDSDireito Social ao Trabalho.

During 2018, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights issued twenty-one judgements in contentious cases, seven interpretations of previous judgements, nineteen orders on provisional measures, and one advisory opinion. The Court developed case law on several topics such as forced disappearance, crimes against humanity, violence against women, political rights, the right to work, and the right to health and, for the first time, established a state’s responsibility for violation of the principle of progressivity. We should also emphasize the new inter-American standards in relation to the mechanism of asylum and its recognition as a human right, to pardons, and to the obligation of enhanced due diligence and special protection in investigations and criminal proceedings based on sexual violence against children and adolescents, as well as state responsibility for acts of sexual torture by a non-state agent.

This chapter analyses the right to work. It examines how the CRPD has come to provide for the participation of disabled people in the ‘open labour market’ and examines the various barriers that limit such participation. It also considers alternative forms of employment, including sheltered and supported employment, as well as how they relate to the new emphasis brought on the right to work by the CRPD. It subsequently focuses on the extent to which the Convention calls into question those working arrangements that ignore the complexity of human diversity. It further appraises the provision of equal employment opportunities for disabled people warning against certain limits in the consideration of employment as nothing but gainful employment in international human rights law.

There is currently a wide-ranging debate on whether it is ethical for pharmaceutical companies to profit and obtain large economic benefits by patenting and controlling the sale of essential medicines that can save thousands of lives, or, on the contrary, whether these medicines should be considered social products and offered at low prices so that anyone, in any country in the world, regardless of their purchasing power, can have access to them. This debate has intensified since health was considered a fundamental human right by the World Health Organization (WHO) and was expressly included in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations (specifically, in Goal 3: “Health and Well-Being”). Consequently, the overall objective of this chapter is to reflect on these questions: Should economic interests prevail over social ones in the case of essential life-saving medicines? Should the fundamental right to health prevail over the right granted by a patent? How far should corporate social responsibility (CSR) go in the pharmaceutical industry?

The European Convention on Human Rights has been incorporated into UK domestic law. It gives many rights to patients within the National Health Service (NHS). This article explores the concept of patients’ right to privacy. It stresses that privacy is a basic human right, and that its respect by health professionals is vital for a patient’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. I argue that health professionals can violate patients’ privacy in a variety of ways. For example: the right to enjoy their property; the right to protect their medical and personal information as confidential; the right to expect treatment with dignity during intimate care; and the right to control their personal space and territory. Some preliminary evidence indicates that many health care practitioners, including nurses, are presently unaware of the articles of the Convention and the implications of the Human Rights Act 1998. In order to prevent litigation for breaches of patients’ privacy, it is advocated that universities and other educational institutions, the Government and NHS trusts should help to produce a clear educational strategy and protocols so that students and practitioners are well informed in this field. Although 41 European countries are presently the signatories of the European Convention on Human Rights, including the UK, it is important to stress that the principles discussed in this article are applicable world-wide.

Personal inviolability is one of the oldest rights of diplomatic agents and is often considered to be at the root of diplomatic immunity. The wording it received in the Vienna Convention does not allow for any exceptions. But the absolute nature of the right can lead to difficulties—especially in situations in which diplomats themselves cause a danger to the general public or particular individuals. This chapter explores potential inroads under international law into the concept of inviolability and thus discusses the applicability of self-defence, necessity, and distress in situations of emergency. It also raises the question whether the human right to life imposes certain obligations on the receiving State which are capable of limiting diplomatic inviolability. In a concluding section, the chapter reflects on the justifications which are particularly likely to carry validity in situations marked by a need to deal with dangers arising from diplomatic actions.
