Book Description
This book examines the implications of Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), its resulting standard of protection for persons with disabilities and the way it is understood and implemented in its diverse signatory states. Its overarching theme is to assess the impact of CRPD Article 12 on the private law concept of legal capacity and its limitations, the significance of which carries over into the realm of penal law regulations. Its impact is analysed primarily from the legal point of view, but with due regard for its psychological and psychiatric ramifications. Recognising the importance of these disciplines is important when implementing CRPD Article 12 into domestic law, as they contribute to the determinants in creating a qualificatory legal framework for all, persons with disabilities in particular, to exercise their rights to legal capacity without let or hindrance. As active legal capacity is a notion rooted in and coming from private law, this forms the main research perspective. The first section discusses the foundational concepts constituting the CRPD Article 12 standard from domestic private law and international law perspectives. The work shows that the concepts adopted in private law interact with the protection of persons with disabilities as victims provided for in criminal law. In addition, where relevant, authors also look at public law institutions that are connected with the private law solutions. The volume will be an essential reference for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of private law, criminal law, mental health law, human rights, discrimination law as well as psychology and psychiatry.

Los mecanismos de guarda legal de las personas con discapacidad tras la convención de naciones unidas
Author: Sofía de Salas Murillo
Publisher: Editorial Dykinson, S.L.
ISBN: 8490319170
Category : Law
Languages : es
Pages : 288
Book Description
Cuando se acaban de cumplir treinta años de la aprobación de la Ley 13/1983, de 24 de octubre, por la que se reformó el Código civil en materia de tutela, nuestro sistema jurídico parece llamado a experimentar un profundo cambio para adaptarse a los postulados de la Convención de Naciones Unidas de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad. La Ley 26/2011 ha modificado numerosas normas del ordenamiento con vistas a dicha adaptación, pero no ha abordado los aspectos jurídico-privados. Queda por tanto pendiente esta tarea del legislador, que ha de tener presentes las directrices de la Convención la cual, en este punto, gira en torno al sistema de apoyos a prestar a las personas con discapacidad para el ejercicio de su capacidad legal Este volumen colectivo pretende ser una aportación a dicha tarea. El volumen se divide en tres partes, la primera de las cuales aborda la cuestión central del impacto de la Convención en nuestro sistema y en tres ordenamientos jurídicos de nuestro entorno. Se reflexiona aquí sobre la disyuntiva entre romper con el sistema de tutela de autoridad y de distinción entre capacidad jurídica y capacidad de obrar, o reformarlo sobre la base del sistema ya existente. La segunda parte del volumen se centra en el funcionamiento real de tutela y curatela, con sus virtualidades y carencias, y ello desde la autoridad que da el doble enfoque judicial y académico. La tercera y última parte se dedica a otras figuras de guarda y protección distintas de las clásicas tutela, curatela y defensor judicial, que están llamadas a cumplir -y que de hecho ya están cumpliendo- un decisivo papel de "apoyo" de las personas con discapacidad en la línea marcada con la Convención de Naciones Unidas (art. 12.3). Ha coordinado la serie de estudios que se dan cita en esta obra Sofía de Salas Murillo, una Profesora Titular de Derecho civil de la Universidad de Zaragoza que es una acreditada especialista en estas cuestiones de Derecho de la persona y de la familia, línea dentro de la cual cuenta con una abundante producción doctrinal y con un participación muy notable en Proyectos I +D.

The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises
Author: Dr. Cecilia Menjívar
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190856920
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 953
Book Description
The objective of The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises is to deconstruct, question, and redefine through a critical lens what is commonly understood as "migration crises." The volume covers a wide range of historical, economic, social, political, and environmental conditions that generate migration crises around the globe. At the same time, it illuminates how the media and public officials play a major role in framing migratory flows as crises. The volume brings together an exceptional group of scholars from around the world to critically examine migration crises and to revisit the notion of crisis through the context in which permanent and non-permanent migration flows occur. The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises offers an understanding of individuals in societies, socio-economic structures, and group processes. Focusing on migrants' departures and arrivals in all continents, this comprehensive handbook explores the social dynamics of migration crises, with an emphasis on factors that propel these flows as well as the actors that play a role in classifying them and in addressing them. The volume is organized into nine sections. The first section provides a historical overview of the link between migration and crises. The second looks at how migration crises are constructed, while the third section contextualizes the causes and effects of protracted conflicts in producing crises. The fourth focuses on the role of climate and the environment in generating migration crises, while the fifth section examines these migratory flows in migration corridors and transit countries. The sixth section looks at policy responses to migratory flows, The last three sections look at the role media and visual culture, gender, and immigrant incorporation play in migration crises.

How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease
Author: United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Government publications
Languages : en
Pages : 728
Book Description
This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age
Author: Jacqueline Bhabha
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691169101
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
The first comprehensive look at the global dilemma of child migration Why, despite massive public concern, is child trafficking on the rise? Why are unaccompanied migrant children living on the streets and routinely threatened with deportation to their countries of origin? Why do so many young refugees of war-ravaged and failed states end up warehoused in camps, victimized by the sex trade, or enlisted as child soldiers? This book provides the first comprehensive account of the widespread but neglected global phenomenon of child migration, exploring the complex challenges facing children and adolescents who move to join their families, those who are moved to be exploited, and those who move simply to survive. Spanning several continents and drawing on the stories of young migrants, Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age provides a comprehensive account of the widespread and growing but neglected global phenomenon of child migration and child trafficking. It looks at the often-insurmountable obstacles we place in the paths of adolescents fleeing war, exploitation, or destitution; the contradictory elements in our approach to international adoption; and the limited support we give to young people brutalized as child soldiers. Part history, part in-depth legal and political analysis, this powerful book challenges the prevailing wisdom that widespread protection failures are caused by our lack of awareness of the problems these children face, arguing instead that our societies have a deep-seated ambivalence to migrant children—one we need to address head-on. Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age offers a road map for doing just that, and makes a compelling and courageous case for an international ethics of children's human rights.
