Facts and Norms Newsletter, 2024

ISSN 2965-8780 Editorial Welcome to the ninth edition of the Facts and Norms Newsletter for 2024. In this issue, we continue our commitment to providing comprehensive coverage of significant judgments and developments from international and regional courts, along with updates on pressing global issues. The International Court of Justice has received fifteen written statements concerning the question of the right to strike under ILO Convention No. 87, reflecting the global significance of labor rights. Additionally, Chile has filed a declaration of intervention in the Gaza case (South Africa v. Israel). This edition also covers the potential dire consequences for Yemen following recent strikes, the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza exacerbated by inclement weather and ongoing conflict, the condemnation of attacks on a hospital in Ukraine, among other concerning news. The UN's call for more action to combat senseless criminality in Haiti, where rampant gang violence has resulted in thousands of deaths this year, is also featured. Additionally, we delve into the growing crisis in Afghanistan amidst declining international funding and restrictive measures imposed by the de facto authorities. Turning to regional tribunals, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights concluded its 169th Regular Session, delivering judgments in several significant cases involving forced disappearances, extrajudicial executions, and the rights of indigenous peoples, among other subjects. Within the African Human Rights System, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights conducted hearings conducted a public hearing in a case concerning the rights of persons with albinism in Tanzania. The Court also delivered judgments on cases concerning the right to a fair trial, and issues of inadmissibility due to non-exhaustion of local remedies. This edition also features summaries of recent judgments by the European Court of Human Rights on a variety of topics. These include the prohibition of collective expulsion of aliens, the right to private life concerning expulsion on national security grounds, respect for patients' autonomy in medical decisions, property rights, family life and deportation, and the rights of journalists and opposition candidates.

The adoption of the United Nations (UN) Charter in 1945 marked the legalization of international human rights. Despite the legalized status of human rights, their violation by states is not uncommon. This article questions why a state might violate international human rights. Analyzing this issue from an economic perspective, this article advances regulatory arbitrage theory to rationalize a state's violation of human rights. It discusses regulatory arbitrage-type behaviors among state actors that derogate from the obligations to respect, protect, and fulfill human rights. Defending state sovereignty, minimizing regulatory or compliance costs, and prioritizing economic achievement are identified as rational arbitrage actions that circumvent international human rights. We call for competent and credible governance mechanisms that can increase the cost of arbitrage, to disincentivize state violation of international human rights.

Under the auspices of the FP7 project Fostering Human Rights among European Policies (FRAME), this report is part of Work Package 2 on 'factors which enable or hinder the protection of human rights'. A more comprehensive understanding of the internal and domestic contextualization of historical, legal, political, economic, social, ethnic, religious, and technological factors hindering or facilitating human rights protection in third countries is vital for the continuous endeavor of the EU to promote human rights in its external actions. The purpose of this report is to deepen this understanding. The report contains three studies on the dynamics and interactions of factors hindering or enabling the protection of human rights in selected third countries. The following countries, from three different continents, have been selected: India, South Africa and Peru. From this country-based contextualisation of factors a case study was chosen for each country highlighting the influences of factors in a particular human rights area. Chapter II focuses on India and evidences that various factors impede the realization of human rights in the country. The study zooms in on economic, social and political factors, which are often structural in nature and which prevent individuals and groups from accessing institutional mechanisms for the enforcement of human rights. The chapter includes a case study on 'encounter killings', which in India are generally referred to as those incidents in which there is a loss of life of individuals in the hands of police and security forces when they resort to use of force for the purpose of maintaining law and order. Chapter III assesses the current human rights situation in South Africa by setting out the historical, political, legal, economic, social, cultural, religious, ethnical and technological factors that both enhance and militate against the promotion of human rights. Against the backdrop of the legacy of apartheid and the country's socioeconomic challenges, the chapter provides an evaluation and literature review of the various constraints that impede against the promotion of basic rights in South Africa. The chapter proceeds to a case study of factors that impede the realisation of socioeconomic rights and the role of NGOs and social movements to remedy the situation through protest, advocacy and litigation. Chapter IV analyses factors facilitating and hindering human rights protection in Peru. The chapter provides an overview of historical, legal, political, economic, ethnic, religious, and technological factors facilitating or hindering the promotion and protection of human rights in the country. The chapter then focuses on identifying the social and institutional factors that explain the weak participation of civil society directly involved in human rights policies. Three cases of national councils involved in promoting and protecting human rights are object of analysis: the national human rights council, the national health council, and the national education council. The results emerging from the case studies feed into the overarching theme of the Work package 2, namely factors that facilitate or hinder human rights protection in the EU, and among its internal and external policies. The report affirms the need for a holistic and contextualised approach to factors hindering and enabling human rights in third countries. The factors explored in each selected case study are in many respects intertwined and interrelated in contextualized dynamics. This complex intersection requires that the EU in its external actions pay careful attention to the factors that come into play in each country and their societal contextualisation. The report also illustrates the complex role played by civil FRAME Deliverable No. 2.5 iv society in third countries, and demonstrates that the EU in its endeavours to support the human rights agenda of civil society in third countries, would have to pay careful attention to the diversity of factors which in each country puts limitations to or offer possibilities for civil society.

Furthermore, whereas the reports D 2.1, D 2.2, D.2.3 predominantly have EU policies as their reference point, the present report will reverse the focus and take its point of departure, not in EU policies but in selected third countries, and the factors and policies of these countries. B. Three case studies in selected third countries With a view to complementing and deepening the analyses of the reports of Work package 2, in this report three in-depth qualitative case studies on the dynamics and interactions of factors in selected third countries have been conducted. The following countries, from three different continents, have been selected: India, South Africa and Peru.
