This article is an expanded commentary on the essay “The Social Life of ‘Scaffolds’: Examining Human Rights in Regenerative Medicine.” In discussing the limits and possibilities of the essay, this commentary suggests that problematizing scaffolds in regenerative medicine as a kind of infrastructure rather than prosthetic opens the way for an understanding of the genesis of regenerative assemblages in ways that help to reframe inherent issues of human rights. Ultimately, it proposes the notion of experimental ecologies as a way of thinking about an ethically driven productive entanglement of bodies, environments, and technology.

The issue of the elderly people’s rights has been discussed more and more often in the broader context of human rights. There is much evidence from social life that these rights are not being respected to the extent they should be. Securing and respecting the rights of older the elderly is becoming a challenge for state authorities that uphold human rights and create the directions of social policy for the rights protection. It is especially important as the elderly people due to their age, health status, weakened social position, rarely become advocates of their own interests. They are victims of an unobvious and often invisible process of marginalization and self-exclusion from an active social life. The aim of this article is to sketch the phenomenon of the marginalization of the elderly in the context of mechanisms related to their functioning on the one hand, and age, and on the other to social attitudes towards seniors. There are presented the elderly people’s rights and basic conditions for the rights to be respected..

The Holy Quran

The Holy Quran Says:“Indeed in (the life of) the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow” (Al-Ahzab: 33/21). The present article shows that “the good example” of the Prophet (SAW) encompasses different aspects of human life including family and social one. The article brings to light that as a guardian of the household; the Prophet (SAW) sincerely looked after the daily needs of his family members and also took full care of guiding them in religious matters. He was habitual of doing his own works and sharing the burden of his family in domestic works. He gave preference to the needy among the companions (particularly Ashab-i- Suffah) over his family members in giving assistance for meeting the day-today requirements. With regard to the social life of the Prophet (SAW), the article discusses in detail that with multifarious duties, how he used to fulfill his social responsibilities regularly and faithfully. The author mainly emphasizes the active participation of the Prophet (SAW) in the collective works with his companions, strictly adhering to the principle of equality and desiring no distinction for himself while doing works. The article further takes into account the ideal practices of the Prophet (SAW) with regard to attending to the needs of poor, distressed and grieved persons without any discrimination between Muslims and non-Muslims. It also comes to light that the Prophet (SAW) was quite generous towards guests and sympathetic to patients including Muslims and non-Muslims. His mingling and associating with common people and attending to their problems of varied nature was also a striking feature of his social life. Moreover, it was also shown in the article with reference to the authentic sources, that the Prophet (SAW) was great helpful and cooperative particularly for the people of the weaker sections of society including slaves, servants, orphans, widows and disabled persons. In the light of the noble practices of the Prophet (SAW), this was highlighted by the contributor in the different parts of the article that he had left ideal examples of gentleness, justice, equality and transparency in dealing with people in social life and discharging his duties as the Prophet and head of the state. In fact, the total conformity (mutabaqat) between his sayings and practices was a shining example of his high character which had left a great and lasting impact on the society through ages and also contributed to make him the greatest personality of the world. It was observed by the author in the conclusion that the life of the Prophet (SAW) has been ideal from every aspect of human life. His Uswah-i- Mubarakah regarding social life has great importance from the point of view that it is mostly related to the fulfillment of human rights, particularly behaving and dealing with the people different shades. Of course, taking care and fulfillment of human rights is full of difficult trials and complicated problems especially in the present days. So, the Sirah of the Prophet (SAW) is quite relevant to tackle the problems of social life, as well as great useful for bringing reform in the decaying society of modern period.

This chapter explores sociological and anthropological approaches to the study of human rights. Anthropologists and sociologists have typically been either positivists or relativists. Consequently they have been slow to develop an analysis of justice and rights, thus lagging behind other disciplines in analysing the growth of universal human rights. This chapter shows how sociology and anthropology finally engaged with the concept of universal human rights after a long disciplinary focus on cultural relativism and legal positivism. It considers how sociology expanded its analysis of citizenship rights to that of human rights and how anthropology turned its ethnographic methodology towards an examination of the ‘social life of rights’. It also describes ‘social constructionism’ as a common bond between sociology and anthropology, laying emphasis on the importance of sociological and anthropological perspectives to the study of human rights.

abstrakImplementasi Hasil Penentuan Pendapat Rakyat (PEPERA) berdasarkan New York Agreement 1962 dalam kaitannya dengan Penegakan Hak Asasi Manusia di Tanah Papua menunjukkan bahwa Pemerintah Indonesia pada tahun 1969 berusaha menggerakkan pembangunan dengan meminggirkan pengalaman dan nilai-nilai social budaya rakyat Papua. Ketidakseimbangan kehidupan sosial masyarakat yang diperkuat dengan adanya beberapa kelompok masyarakat yang tidak mendukung hasil Pepera menyebabkan muncullah kelompok-kelompok masyarakat Papua yang pro dan kontra terhadap pembangunan. Apabila menginginkan Papua ini menjadi wilayah yang aman pemerintah harus memikirkan bagaimana seluruh masyarakat Papua bisa hidup sejahtera, memiliki rasa aman dan meminimalisir kesenjangan antar daerah/wilayah di Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Kesejahteraan hidup didambakan oleh semua pihak. Bila hidup sejahtera dan aman maka pergolakan akan berkurang. Kata kunci: New York Agreement 1962, Pepera 1969, HAM di Tanah Papua abstractThe results of this study indicate that the Implementation of the Results of the Decision of the People's Opinion (PEPERA) based on the 1962 New York Agreement in relation to the Enforcement of Human Rights in Papua shows that the Indonesian Government in 1969 sought to mobilize development by marginalizing the experiences and social cultural values of the Papuan people. The imbalance of the social life of the community which is reinforced by the existence of several community groups that do not support the results of the Act of Free Choice has led to the emergence of Papuan groups that are pro and contra to development. If you want Papua to be a safe area the government must think about how all Papuans can live in prosperity, have a sense of security and minimize gaps between regions / regions in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Life welfare is coveted by all parties. If life is prosperous and safe, the upheaval will decrease.  Keywords: New York Agreement 1962, February 1969, Human Rights in the Land of Papua

Philosophical Standpoint

Focusing on caste-based oppression, B.R. Ambedkar made a universal claim for human equality and dignity which appeared long before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Taking the case of the Mahad movement, we argue that Ambedkar developed a significant egalitarian approach by pointing out how the caste system perpetuated existing inequalities. This article, specifically, aims to explore two central questions: first, what was the central focus of Ambedkar’s concerns at Mahad? Second, how can these concerns then provide a better understanding of his approach, with inequality and articulation of human equality and dignity? This article concludes that Ambedkar offered a distinct anti-caste philosophy and charted out a new path of civic and social liberation. His actions had moral philosophical implications for the question, what it fundamentally means to be a human, and what are the social processes that lead to the coming of an egalitarian society. From this philosophical standpoint, Ambedkar formulated the ethics of everyday social life.
