“…Some commentators have concluded that the ICJ, at least in an obiter dictum, found that the individual rights espoused in article 36(1) are not human rights. 110 However, this interpretation is not supported by the judgment. The Court expressly held that it need not decide on the human rights character of article 36(1).…”

wish to thank Noam Lubell, the editorial team of the AHRLJ, particularly Frans Viljoen, and the two anonymous peer reviewers for their very useful comments. All views and errors remain my own. (2020) 20 AFRICAN HUMAN RIGHTS LAW JOURNAL 42 regards some international humanitarian law conventions as having a human rights character, the primary rules of the applicable international humanitarian law obligations must entail an individual right. Whether a given international humanitarian law obligation entails an individual right is to be determined on a case-by-case basis and, in any event, such instances will be rare. As a consequence of the limited circumstances under which the Court can directly apply international humanitarian law, determining the extent to which the Court can rely on the interpretation of international humanitarian law in applying human rights norms remains pertinent. In this regard it is argued that the Court can rely on international humanitarian law in the application of human rights norms on two bases. First, considering the complementary relationship the Court has with the African Commission, the Court can rely on the African Charter's interpretation clause (articles 60 and 61). Second, the Court has an implied power to interpret international humanitarian law in applying human rights treaties, as this power is necessary for the Court to discharge its mandate.

“…Bartling also founded a company "BFS Blockchain for Science" 23 that aims to foster the usage of BT in science, among other things, by organizing conferences/workshops 24 , supporting blockchain projects/startups and upcoming developers with relevant knowledge, and providing new ideas. Dhillon's and Bartling's suggestions match Rachovitsa's statements (Rachovitsa, 2018). She mentions the potential of the BT to implement novel incentive models and to improve the transparency of open data and open access systems while enabling researchers to manage their intellectual property through SCs.…”

A Review on Blockchain Technology and Blockchain Projects Fostering Open Science

et al. 2019

Many sectors, like finance, medicine, manufacturing, and education, use blockchain applications to profit from the unique bundle of characteristics of this technology. Blockchain technology (BT) promises benefits in trustability, collaboration, organization, identification, credibility, and transparency. In this paper, we conduct an analysis in which we show how open science can benefit from this technology and its properties. For this, we determined the requirements of an open science ecosystem and compared them with the characteristics of BT to prove that the technology suits as an infrastructure. We also review literature and promising blockchain-based projects for open science to describe the current research situation. To this end, we examine the projects in particular for their relevance and contribution to open science and categorize them afterwards according to their primary purpose. Several of them already provide functionalities that can have a positive impact on current research workflows. So, BT offers promising possibilities for its use in science, but why is it then not used on a large-scale in that area? To answer this question, we point out various shortcomings, challenges, unanswered questions, and research potentials that we found in the literature and identified during our analysis. These topics shall serve as starting points for future research to foster the BT for open science and beyond, especially in the long-term.
