El artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación de carácter cualitativa, financiada por el Gobierno de Chile y la Universidad del Bío-Bío. El objetivo ha sido estudiar las concepciones y representaciones que sobre la Ciudadanía poseen diversos actores de colegios municipales ubicados en dos regiones del sur del país. El material empírico que ha servido de base para la investigación han sido 9 grupos de discusión realizados en un taller, en el marco de una investigación acción. El procesamiento y ulterior análisis de la información se realizó mediante reducción categorial con la asistencia del software ATLAS.ti 7. Las preguntas iniciales que guiaron la discusión estuvieron dirigidas a indagar las concepciones que los diferentes actores de los establecimientos poseían sobre lo que es un ciudadano, la formación para la ciudadanía y el rol que asignan a la Escuela en su formación.  Los resultados indican que a pesar de los cambios en el currículum y de las últimas políticas públicas introducidas, entre las que destaca la promulgación de una Ley especial, persiste la dimensión de un ciudadano ligado a derechos y deberes y un sentido marcadamente nacional. Destacándose la vinculación que los/as informantes realizan con el respeto a los derechos humanos.     This papers presents the results of a qualitative research, funded by the Government of Chile and the Universidad del Bío-Bío.

The Colombian government’s noncompliance with the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement’s Labor Action Plan calls into question not only the government’s intentions but also the efficacy of human rights activism and discourse for social resistance to neoliberalism. Colombia has managed to adjust the narrative on human rights and improve its international image, paving the way for U.S. ratification of the free-trade agreement despite the fact that the human rights situation continues to be very serious. Its success in this is due to the way in which the debate on the agreement and human rights was framed—with a very narrow focus on trade unionists’ rights and a discourse that did not link civil and political rights to economic and social rights—and to the ideological affinity between neoliberalism and the dominant liberal discourse on human rights. El incumplimiento del Plan de Acción Laboral por parte del gobierno colombiano, en el marco del TLC con Estados Unidos, pone en tela de juicio no solo las intenciones del gobierno, sino la utilidad y eficacia del activismo y discurso de los derechos humanos para la resistencia social al neoliberalismo. El Estado colombiano ha logrado ajustar la narrativa sobre los derechos humanos y mejorar su imagen internacional, lo que le permitió ser “premiado” con la ratificación del TLC a pesar de que la situación de derechos humanos siguiera siendo grave. Esto se debe a la forma en que se enmarcó el debate sobre el TLC y los derechos humanos—con un enfoque demasiado restringido y un discurso que no integró los derechos civiles y políticos con los derechos económicos y sociales—y a la afinidad ideológica entre el neoliberalismo y el discurso dominante de los derechos humanos.

The emergence of regional human rights systems depicts one of the greatest achievements in the internationalization of human rights. The foundation of the charter paved the way for the birth of the court thereafter. The African Court is established by virtue of the 1998 protocol to the Charter and the court is built upon an arsenal of protective and remedial techniques. The establishment of the court has reset the stage and created a new platform for the protection of human rights in Africa. The cardinal objective of the paper is to investigate the role of African Court on human and Peoples’ rights protection in Libya Crises taking the case of Saif Al Islam Gaddafi. The paper has utilized qualitative methodology. The government of Libya responded with brutal force against civilian protesters in contravention of international human rights and humanitarian law. The security force of the government of Libya killed many protesters as well. This situation intensified human rights violations and enforced many of the peoples to displace. The court issued an important ruling in March 2011, ordering provisional measures against Libya in the armed conflict in its territory. Libya government denied the claims of human rights violations in its territory and showed its willingness to subject itself to criminal investigations by the Court if necessary. The issue of the fund, independence, commitment and competence of judges to interpret mandate and jurisdiction, the willingness of the states to support and to abide by court decisions, and powers of the concerned body to enforce court decisions hampered the court from being effective. Generally, African States act in good faith with respect to the decisions of the African Human Rights Court, the court becomes more import.
