Political Decisions

The article touches upon the process of transformation of a socio-political organization in the legal system, caused by integration of digital technologies and autonomous algorithmic systems. It is justified that the development of machine education and artificial intelligence systems can result in human suspension from taking important social and political decisions. Impermeability and fluidity of modern digital technologies provides hidden functioning mode of the latter, whilst their specificity is not included in the formulated agenda, creating and taking managerial decisions or planning everyday life activity. The article proves that the aftereffects of the fourth technological revolution claim for returning of the human rights standards, freedoms and legal interests as the leading form of a reference point in the global digital rivalry and in the development of certain social systems, also the necessity to establish a distinct system of human rights guarantee and human safety in the era of developing principally new digital relations is proved. Meanwhile, digital information legislation needs systematization and a strict consistent state.

The article analyzes the controversial issues of protecting the constitutional rights of citizens to information, to privacy, as well as to preserve the secrecy of correspondence, telephone conversations, and other messages in the digital era. The study identifi es major legal risks of using the advanced information processing methods in the new digital reality: fi rst, the risk of unintentional deanonymization of personal data; secondly, the risk of generating falsifi ed information. We propose solutions, such as introducing an information audit system and a two-component information reading system. They can help to overcome the legal risks of data deanonymization and information falsifi cation. We conclude that digital technologies have a signifi cant impact on the content and methods of protecting some constitutional rights of citizens.

The main directions of the development of digital technologies are determined, involving the wide participation of workers in their use in enterprises and organizations.

This chapter focuses on why courts have come to be seen as attractive forums in which to address tensions between religion and secular human rights. There are several reasons. One reason is the greater availability of courts with a human rights jurisdiction. A second factor is the growth of secular NGOs, and parallel changes in organized religions’ organizational forms and political organization, both of which have contributed to the increased prevalence of religious litigation domestically and transnationally. A third contributing development is the growth of intra-religious factionalism, involving claims that one group’s doctrinal position is the more authentic or authoritative expression of a particular organized religion than that of another group within the same religion. State authorities are then put in the position of having to decide which group to engage with as the true representative of the organized religion, and the courts are called in to adjudicate.

Abstract With the increase in online content circulation new challenges have arisen: the dissemination of defamatory content, non-consensual intimate images, hate speech, fake news, the increase of copyright violations, among others. Due to the huge amount of work required in moderating content, internet platforms are developing artificial intelligence to automate decision-making content removal. This article discusses the reported performance of current content moderation technologies from a legal perspective, addressing the following question: what risks do these technologies pose to freedom of expression, access to information and diversity in the digital environment? The legal analysis developed by the article focuses on international human rights law standards. Despite recent improvements, content moderation technologies still fail to understand context, thereby posing risks to users’ free speech, access to information and equality. Consequently, it is concluded, these technologies should not be the sole basis for reaching decisions that directly affect user expression.

While studies have explored adult suspects’ understanding of their legal rights, seldom are the experiences of children and young people taken into account. In this article, we discuss findings arising out of research interviews conducted with 61 children and young people; many of whom have experience of being suspects. From listening to their points-of-view, we find that children and young people fundamentally lack understanding of the rights of suspects, and especially the inalienable nature of those rights. We argue this is not surprising when children are being dealt with in an adult-centred punitive system of justice, which is contrary to international human rights standards.

Since the late 1980s, Filipino entertainment television has assumed and maintained a dominance in national popular culture, which expanded in the digital era. The media landscape into which digital technologies were launched in the Philippines was largely set in the wake of the 1986 popular movement and change of government referred to as the EDSA revolution: television stations that had been sequestered under martial law were turned over to family-dominated commercial enterprises, and entertainment media proliferated. Building upon the long development of entertainment industries in the Philippines, new social media encounters with entertainment content generate expanded and engaged publics whose formation continues to operate upon a foundation of televisual media. This article considers the particular role that entertainment media plays in the formation of publics in which comedic, melodramatic and celebrity-led content generates networks of followers, users and viewers whose loyalty produces various forms of capital, including in notable cases political capital.

AbstractThis article discusses the Rwandan Law 18/2008 on genocide ideology in the light of international human rights standards. In order to put the genocide ideology law into context, it sketches a brief overview of the post-genocide scenario. Because of the influence that provisions restricting freedom of expression aimed at fighting negationism might exert on testimonies during genocide trials, it pays particular attention to the transitional justice strategies adopted in Rwanda. Finally, it assesses the law on the genocide ideology against the background provided by the measures implemented in some European countries to deal with the phenomenon of negationism.
