Abstract: The use of indicators in international law and global governance has recently developed as a basis for evaluation, decision-making and conceptual and methodological legitimation. This study will analyse the use of different measurement devices constructed at the international level. It will consider the assessment of the state of human security as a case study, placing a particular focus on the relationship of ‘narrow’ and ‘broad’ views of human security to all human rights: civil, political, economic, social and cultural, and incorporating the aggravated human security risks encountered globally by women and girls. As a result, the text presents a proposal of a more holistic and operational measurement of human security based on a gendered and human rights based-approach.Keywords: indicators, international law, global governance, human security, human rights.Resumen: El uso de indicadores en el derecho internacional y la gobernanza global ha crecido recientemente como base para la evaluación, la toma de decisiones y la legitimación conceptual y metodológica. Este estudio analizará el uso de diferentes dispositivos de medición construidos a nivel internacional. Considerará la evaluación del estado de la seguridad humana como un estudio de caso, prestando especial atención a la relación de la seguridad humana, en su concepción ‘estrecha’ y ‘amplia’, con todos los derechos humanos: civiles, políticos, económicos, sociales y culturales, e incorporando la perspectiva de los riesgos agravados de seguridad humana que enfrentan las mujeres y las niñas a nivel global. Como resultado, el texto presenta una propuesta de medición de la seguridad humana más integral y operativa basada en un enfoque de género y de derechos humanos.Palabras clave: indicadores, derecho internacional, gobernanza global, seguridad humana, derechos humanos.

Women In Decision Making

En el marco filosófico, jurídico y político del Estado de Derecho moderno las mujeres, la mitad de la humanidad, han sido excluidas, les ha sido negado el valor ético suficiente para ser portadoras de derechos, esto es, sujeto de derechos. Ello impulsó la acción de las mujeres para analizar su situación y defender su valor y sus derechos en condiciones de igualdad y no discriminación respecto a los hombres. El avance del movimiento feminista desde el siglo XVIII, cuando fueron expulsadas de la Asamblea política germen de la primera declaración de derechos humanos, hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XX, cuando fueron reconocidas a nivel universal como sujeto pleno de derechos, muestra el continuo desarrollo filosófico-jurídico de la conciencia de la humanidad, de la ética y de los derechos humanos. Desde el desarrollo de la justicia social y ecológica, el pensamiento jurídico feminista actual reconoce la amenaza de la realidad ecológica y de la realidad de las mujeres e implica propuestas alternativas de la vida en la Tierra basadas, en la sostenibilidad social y ecológica, en la lucha contra la violencia, y en la participación de las mujeres en la toma de decisiones. Esta nueva perspectiva integradora superadora de la visión cartesiana de un mundo dividido es defendida por el ecofeminismo.     In the modern origin of the Rule of Law, the Rechtsstaat formula, women were excluded from its philosophical, legal and political dimension, they were denied the value and sufficient ethical condition to be bearers of rights, that is, subjects of rights. This prompted action by women to analyze their situation and defend their value and rights in conditions of equality and non-discrimination with men. The advance of the feminist movement from the 18th century, when women were expelled from the political Assembly, the seed of the first declaration of human rights, to the second half of the 20th century, when they were universally recognized as full subject of rights, shows the continuous philosophical-legal development of the conscience of humanity, of ethics and of human rights. The current feminist legal thinking, from the development of social and ecological justice, recognizes the threat of ecological reality and the reality of women, it implies alternative proposals of life on Earth based on social and ecological sustainability, in the fight against violence and in the participation of women in decision-making. This new integrative perspective of a divided world is defended by ecofeminism.

Forms Of Knowledge

ABSTRACT The proliferation in the uses of indicators in the human rights area have rendered and naturalized them into new forms of knowledge construction and hierarchization, as well as tools of governance at a distance. As a consequence of this naturalization in its uses, the democratic political processes of reflexivity and concertation have been undermined by the hierarchical construction of technical knowledge as superior. Despite their huge limitations, opacity in their construction and essentialism, indicators are portrayed in our evermore imbued by corporate values societies, into new forms of power/knowledge, violence and neo-colonization. Through an ethnographic approach this research follows the historical evolution of indicators, from astronomical tools of measurement to their uses as instruments upon which political, economic and social policies are taken.RESUMENLa proliferación en la utilización de indicadores en el área de derechos humanos, los ha convertido y naturalizado como nuevas formas de construcción y jerarquización del conocimiento, así como en herramientas de gobernanza a distancia. Como consecuencia de esta naturalización en los usos, se han minado los procesos políticos democráticos de reflexividad y de concertación, al limitar el debate y los consensos necesarios en la toma de decisiones políticas, socavados por una jerárquica construcción de supremacía de las decisiones técnicas. A pesar de sus grandes limitaciones, la opacidad en su construcción, y su esencialismo, los indicadores en nuestras sociedades permeadas por valores corporativos, se han constituido en nuevas formas de poder/saber, así como de violencia y neo-colonización. Siguiendo una investigación etnográfica, este trabajo sigue la evolución histórica de los indicadores desde sus inicios como herramientas de medición astronómicas, hasta sus actuales usos como instrumentos de evaluación imperiosos en la toma de decisiones políticas, económicas y sociales.

The Relationship

AbstractThis article considers the relationship of international law and the media through the prism of human rights. In the first section the international regulation of the media is examined and visions of good, bad, and new media emerge. In the second section, the enquiry is reversed and the article explores the ways in which the media is shaping international legal forms and processes in the field of human rights. This is termed the ‘mediatization of international law’. Yet despite hopes for new media and the Internet to transform international law, the theoretical work of Jodi Dean warns of the danger to democracy of commodification through the spread of ‘communicative capitalism’.

Over the past decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of armed groups involved in armed conflicts around the world, as well as in their impact on the rights and freedoms of the population under their control. Facing various situations of systematic violations of human rights by non-state actors, experts in the field of international human rights law began to consider the theoretical justification for the mandatory nature of the provisions on the observance and protection of human rights for armed groups. In this regard, a number of scholars have turned to the theory of customary international law, the acceptability of which is being investigated by the author of this paper. The author examines the provisions underlying this theory and the persuasiveness of the argumentation used by its supporters. Based on an analysis of the nature of customary international law, its structural elements, their interpretation by the UN International Court of Justice in its decisions and the relationship of customary international law with peremptory norms of jus cogens, the author concludes that the theory under consideration is currently unable to explain the existence of obligations of armed groups in the field of human rights.

The Relationship

The very term ‘extraterritoriality’ implies that territory is significant. So far, however, my argument focuses on jurisdiction rather than territory. This chapter adds clarifications in this area. It examines the relationship of jurisdiction in international human rights law, whether understood as political power or not, and title to territory in international law. To this end, I start by looking at what international law has to say about jurisdiction as understood in international human rights law, and territory, respectively. The conclusion of the survey is that the two concepts serve different normative purposes, are underpinned by different values, and that they are thus not the same. Accordingly, an account of their relationship should be approached with conceptual care.
