“…The duty to respect rights is therefore categoricalwhether support is given from the conservation sector should not be based on the ability to fulfil the needs of the sector. Not only are conservation organizations themselves signatories to various declarations, but they are also entities incorporated in countries that are signatories to various declarations affirming these rights (e.g., Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948; U.N., 2007; Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, 1981), as well as entities that operate in countries that are also signatories to these declarations (Newing & Perram, 2019).…”

Human rights matter for marine conservation because people and nature are inextricably linked. A thriving planet cannot be one that contains widespread human suffering or stifles human potential; and a thriving humanity cannot exist on a dying planet. While the field of marine conservation is increasingly considering human well-being, it retains a legacy in some places of protectionism, colonialism, and fortress conservation. Here, we i) provide an overview of human rights principles and how they relate to marine conservation, ii) document cases where tensions have occurred between marine conservation goals and human rights, iii) review the legal and ethical obligations, and practical benefits, for marine conservation to support human rights, and iv) provide practical guidance on integrating human rights principles into marine conservation. We argue that adopting a human rights-based approach to marine conservation, that is integrating equity as a rights-based condition rather than a charitable principle, will not only help meet legal and ethical obligations to respect, protect, and fulfil human rights, but will also result in greater and more enduring conservation impact.

“…176 They can also contribute to adjustments in state behaviour by shaping state practice and influencing the development of customary international law. 177 UNGA resolutions provide international legal norms and principles that cover a wide variety of subjects such as women's rights, 178 the right to be free from torture, 179 the right of all people to self-determination, 180 the rights and duties of nations who expropriate foreign-owned assets 181 and other important issues. 182 Resolutions thus address many new and sensitive areas in which customary international law, treaties, and other formal sources provide limited guidance.…”

International organisations play a vital role in shaping and implementing international norms and standards, contributing to the development of international law. This paper focuses on the United Nations (UN) as a prominent international organisation and examines its role in developing and implementing international law. Specialized entities within the UN, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), and the International Law Commission (ILC), have played significant roles in the development, codification, and implementation of international law. The UN serves as a platform for ongoing dialogue, identifies emerging challenges, formulates international legal and policy instruments, provides mechanisms for peaceful settlement of disputes, and collaborates with other international and regional organisations. However, this paper also acknowledges the inherent challenges and shortcomings of the UN and explores proposals for UN reform to address these issues, enhance its influence, and better fulfil its overarching purpose. Through an analytical assessment of the UN’s role and influence on international law, this paper aims to provide insights into the functioning of international organisations and their impact on shaping global legal norms.

“…La CEDAW fue aprobada por la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas en 1979 y venía a confirmar la necesidad de establecer mecanismos de control ante la violación de los derechos de las mujeres. La Convención logró salir adelante en medio de la política de la Guerra Fría gracias a un intenso trabajo diplomático de las mujeres involucradas en la Comisión sobre la Condición Jurídica y Social de las Mujeres (CSW, por sus siglas en inglés) (ver Fraser, 1995;De Haan, 2010;Hawkesworth, 2012;y Englehart y Miller, 2020). Lejos de una aproximación feminista liberal, el preámbulo de la CEDAW fue muy crítico con otros sistemas de opresión -apartheid, sionismo, colonialismo, explotación económica-en tanto que afectaban a millones de mujeres y siguiendo el eslogan all political issues are women's issues.…”

Este artículo aborda el impacto que ha tenido la Convención de derechos humanos de las mujeres, CEDAW, en las políticas de igualdad de género en España en un momento de crisis del sistema de Derechos Humanos de Naciones Unidas. Para ello, se analiza tanto el contenido de las recomendaciones realizadas a España por el Comité CEDAW desde los ochenta como el recorrido, discurso y estrategias de los principales actores involucrados en la evaluación del Estado ante la CEDAW. El método empleado combina el análisis documental y entrevistas a informantes clave. Se sostiene que si bien la CEDAW ha servido de inspiración y legitimación internacional de las leyes de igualdad, y contribuido a la proyección internacional del movimiento feminista, la mayor complejidad y burocratización de la revisión periódica no se ha traducido en una implementación eficaz de las recomendaciones del Comité. El artículo finaliza con una discusión sobre las principales lagunas en la Administración española que obstaculizan la eficacia de la Convención en el avance de los derechos de las mujeres.
