Reviewing outcomes of psychological interventions with torture survivors: Conceptual, methodological and ethical issues.

Resumen:
Torture
survivors face multiple problems, including psychological difficulties,
whether they are refugees or remain in the country where they were
tortured.
Provision of rehabilitation varies not only with the needs of survivors
and resources available, but also with service models, service provider
preferences and the local and country context. Despite increasing
efforts in research on effectiveness of psychological
interventions with torture survivors, results are inconclusive.

Resumen:
This
research describes the development and findings of a literature review
and analysis meant to inform the international torture and trauma
treatment
community. The review focuses on interventions that have been used
among populations affected by torture, based on a review of journals
indexed in commonly used search engines. Work on the review began in
September 2008 and continued to be updated until March
2014. In total, 88 studies of interventions for torture victims were
identified. Studies ranged from randomized controlled trials utilizing
evidence-based treatments to case studies employing non-structured,
supportive therapies. Based on the results of the
analysis, we have included recommendations for interventions that
demonstrate effectiveness in treating survivors of torture and other
systematic violence who suffer from PTSD, depression and anxiety.
Priorities for mental health research for survivors of
torture and other systematic violence are also recommended.

Therapy, Empowerment Workshops, Group Treatment for Sleep
Disorders, Den Bosch model, Wraparound approach and Stage-oriented

Religious organisations, internal autonomy and other religious rights before the European Court of Human Rights and the OSCE.
Sylvie Langlaude Doné.
En: Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights.
Vol. 34, No. 1 (2016)
|
|
|
|
Resumen:
This
article considers the rights of religious organisations in Europe, by
taking the position of the European Court of Human Rights and of the
Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe. It primarily argues that
religious organisations have a clear set of rights to internal autonomy,
that is, to organise their own affairs, and that the State has a
limited role. Nevertheless, in cases involving disputes
between the rights of the organisation and the rights of others such as
individual employees, there are complex balancing interests. This
article also considers other rights of religious organisations, in
particular their very right to existence and to legal
entity status, their right not to be discriminated against, and other
rights over property. Overall, what emerges is a clear set of rights to
internal autonomy for religious organisations, a confirmation of rights
to legal entity status, while other issues
are more peripheral and not taken into account to the same extent.

The functioning of the pilot-judment procedure of the European Court of Human Rights in practice.
Lize R. Glas.
En: Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights.
Vol. 34, No. 1 (2016)
|
|
|
|
Resumen:
Since
the Court adopted its first pilot judgment in 2004, another 24 such
judgments and an even greater number of follow-up rulings to these
judgments
have ensued. This article analyses and comments on the functioning of
the procedure which these judgments set in motion: the pilot judgment
procedure (PJP). Insights are thereby provided into a procedure that is
of great importance to (potential) applicants
to the Court and to the European Convention on Human Rights system from
both a practical and a principled perspective. Rule 61 on the PJP,
which the Court inserted to its Rules in 2011, provides the framework
for the analysis, which is divided into the three
stages of the procedure: run-up, judgment and execution. Based on the
observations in the article, recommendations are made as to how the
Court could improve the PJP's functioning. One such recommendation is
that the Court could perhaps make better use of
the possibility to join application brought by different persons in the
case selected from treatment under the PJP. This approach can help shed
light on different aspects of the structural problem identified in the
judgment and uncover its full scope.

Somali piracy and the human rights of seafarers.
Sofia Galani.
En: Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights.
Vol. 34, No. 1 (2016)
|
|
|
|
Resumen:
Somali
piracy has attracted the world's attention over the last decade and
whilst Somali piracy abates, the debate on its various aspects remains
lively.
This paper aims to shed light on one particular aspect of Somali piracy
that remains unexplored – the violations of the human rights of
seafarers, and especially those taken hostage. Despite the suffering of
seafarers at the hands of pirates, their protection
seems to fall beyond the human rights framework due to the non-State
status of pirates. The lack of a human rights-oriented approach is
reflected by significant counter-piracy responses, including the United
Nations Security Council Resolutions, criminal responses
and the conduct of naval operations that are reviewed here. Therefore,
it is suggested that the traditional negative obligations of States and
the evolution of the positive human rights obligations of States can
offer a legal avenue for the better protection
of the human rights of seafarers.

El aborto en la ley europea: Derechos humanos, derechos sociales y la nueva tendencia cultural.
Grégor Puppinck.
En: Prudentia Iuris.
No. 80 (dic. 2015)
|
|
|
|
Resumen:
Este
artículo se propone analizar: 1) si existe un verdadero "derecho al
aborto" en la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos, 2) si el aborto es
una violación a
los Derechos Sociales, 3) si la reciente tendencia en Europa frente a
la restricción del aborto muestra que éste es un problema social y no un
derecho o una libertad individual. Legisladores y organizaciones
esperando proteger mejor a los niños y a las mujeres,
del aborto, encontrarán críticas a la idea de la existencia de un
derecho humano al aborto, así como el marco legal en el cual elaborar
leyes protectorias.

La doctrina del control de convencionalidad: Dificultades inherentes y criterios razonables para su aplicabilidad.
Juan Alonso Tello Mendoza.
En: Prudentia Iuris.
No. 80 (dic. 2015)
|
|
|
|
Resumen:
El artículo describe el origen histórico
de la doctrina del control de convencionalidad en el marco de la
jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, así como
sus alcances y consecuencias. Seguidamente, recoge parte de la discusión
doctrinal y jurisprudencial generada con esta
innovación. Por último, considera los riesgos que deberían advertirse
de una aplicación acrítica de esta herramienta y las propuestas para un
establecimiento de criterios razonables que hagan provechoso y no
pernicioso su empleo.
