Kyiv Philosophical School and Human Rights. National-Cultural Movement in the Ukrainian SSR: Scientific and Public Dialogue and Interaction

The neokantianism as a philosophical school of thought of Law developed as legal knowledge method that searched for a phenomenological intuition prescribe legal values . The linguistic- pragmatic turn in philosophy in the mid- twentieth century led to the replacement of the legal neokantianism by a linguistic methodology on the Law within a justifying discourse procedure of human rights as core values (liberty, equality, common good) and a procedural rationality who returns to Kant as a defense of State of Law. We will seek to map the discourse and Kantian justification of Law from the thought of Ricardo Terra and its approach to legal values as linguistic objects, paving the way for a new legal methodology based on constructed values arguably and according to the principles of kantian reason.

No rhetorical flourishes: this work-in-progress is intended to provoke a long-overdue public dialogue on an ugly topic that refuses to stay disappeared. It treats a hidden battleground of Argentina's Dirty War (1976–1983), a ‘petite war,’ a war within the war, directed by a military-appointed doctor against the mentally deficient inmates concentrated at the national psychiatric hospital, the Colonia Nacional Dr. Manuel A. Montes de Oca in Torres, and its sister institution, the Colonia Psiquiátrica Domingo Cabred, in Lujan, both in Buenos Aires province. Buried in the historical, statistical, legal, and archival records, along with the key informant interviews, ethnographic observations, and photos is shattering evidence of medical human rights abuses committed under the necropolitics of the Dirty War against an abandoned population of mental “defectives” who were condemned to gratuitous suffering and early deaths at the psychiatric colony (see Figure 1). In the worst instances, the abuses were crimes against humanity.

October 17

This study seeks to identify how Canadian newsprint media portrayed seventy-six Tamil refugees who arrived off the coast of Victoria, British Columbia on October 17, 2009. The corpus consists of articles published between October 2009 to January 2010 from The Vancouver Sun, The Toronto Star, and National Post. Using discourse analysis, I questioned issues of framing, representation, and identity and sought to understand how the Tamil refugee migration was understood within public dialogue. The study found that there was an overall negative representation of the Tamil refugees as the press emphasized issues of criminality and terrorism, and constructed the refugees as 'risky'. The discussion placed security -- rather than human rights -- as a focal point and portrayed the immigration system as both "failing" and "abused" by "bogus claimants". This security framework provided the necessary political environment for refugee reform Bill C-11 to be ushered through parliament later that spring.

Human Rights Standards

Abstract: Current international human rights standards cover mainly the dissemination of information, the consultation of information, and the registration of information. Practically all human rights provisions refer to communication as the “transfer of messages.” This reflects an outdated conception of communication as “distribution.” Communication is interaction: a process of personal and public dialogue! The shift from distribution to interaction requires the adaptation of human rights standards to the new reality of global interactive technologies and the emergence of networking in many social domains. Résumé : Les critères actuels pour les droits humains internationaux ont principalement trait à la dissémination de l’information, à la consultation en information et à l’enregistrement de l’information. Presque toutes les lois décrivent la communication comme portant sur le « transfert de messages ». Une telle approche reflète une conception périmée de la communication comme effectuant une « distribution ». La communication est plutôt une interaction : un processus de dialogue personnel et public! Ce passage de la distribution à l’interaction requiert que l’on adapte les critères pour les droits humains à la nouvelle réalité des technologies interactives mondiales et à l’émergence de réseaux dans plusieurs domaines sociaux.
