Human rights organizations in Ethiopia have been devastated by the impact of legislation restricting their work. Many organizations have changed their focus, activities have been significantly scaled down, offices have closed and numerous staff have lost their jobs. The Charities and Societies Proclamation was passed in January 2009. It placed significant restrictions on funding for human rights work, granted the government excessive powers of interference in the running of organizations, jeopardized the security of victims of human rights violations, and allowed for the imprisonment of human rights defenders. The government has displayed hostility towards human rights defenders for many years through harassment, arrests and prosecutions, and has indicated that they do not see human rights work as a legitimate activity. The law has institutionalized this climate of fear. The majority of human rights defenders are now too afraid to speak out. The proclamation has adversely affected the promotion and protection of the rights of the Ethiopian people. Today there are almost no organizations holding the government to account for its human rights performance. This is one of three laws introduced since 2008 which restrict freedom of expression and people's ability to criticize their government. In this context the government continues to be responsible for widespread human rights violations, under ever-decreasing scrutiny. Amnesty International is urging the government of Ethiopia to amend the Charities and Societies Proclamation to remove the restrictions on human rights activities, and to recognize, respect and protect the vital work of human amnesty.org rights defenders.

Social work as a democratically constituted profession committed to human rights is currently facing cross-border encroachments and attacks by right-wing populist movements and governments. With the Bundestag elections in September 2017, the question of the extent to which right-wing populist forces succeed in influencing the discourse with xenophobic and nationalist arguments arises in Germany, too. The authors examine how social work can respond effectively to nationalism, exclusion, de-solidarization and a basic skepticism about science and position itself against this background. The book explores different conditions in Germany, France, Poland, Russia and the US.

In the last six decades, one of the most striking developments in international law is the emergence of a massive body of legal norms and procedures aimed at protecting human rights. In many countries, though, there is little relationship between international law and the actual protection of human rights on the ground. Making Human Rights a Reality takes a fresh look at why it's been so hard for international law to have much impact in parts of the world where human rights are most at risk. Emilie Hafner-Burton argues that more progress is possible if human rights promoters work strategically with the group of states that have dedicated resources to human rights protection. These human rights "stewards" can focus their resources on places where the tangible benefits to human rights are greatest. Success will require setting priorities as well as engaging local stakeholders such as nongovernmental organizations and national human rights institutions. To date, promoters of international human rights law have relied too heavily on setting universal goals and procedures and not enough on assessing what actually works and setting priorities. Hafner-Burton illustrates how, with a different strategy, human rights stewards can make international law more effective and also safeguard human rights for more of the world population.

This book critically examines the relationship between protecting human rights and building peace in post-violence societies. It explores the conditions that must be present, and strategies that should be adopted, for the former to contribute to the latter. The author argues that human rights can aid peacebuilding efforts by helping victims of past violence to articulate their grievance, and by encouraging the state to respond to and provide them with a meaningful remedy. This usually happens either through a process of adjudication, whereby human rights can offer guidance to the judiciary as to the best way to address such grievances, or through the passing and implementation of human rights laws and policies that seek to promote peace. However, this positive relationship between human rights and peace is both qualified and context specific. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of four case studies, the book identifies the conditions that can support the effective use of human rights as peacebuilding tools. Developing these, the book recommends a series of strategies that peacebuilders should adopt and rely on.

Anyone who is critical of the Tunisian authorities or speaks out for human rights in Tunisia is at risk.
