"Summary "Do States, through their military forces, have legal obligations under human rights treaties towards the local civilian population during UN-mandated peace operations? It is frequently claimed that it is unrealistic to require compliance with human rights treaties in peace operations and this has led to an unwillingness to hold States accountable for human rights violations. In this book, Kjetil Larsen criticises this position by addressing the arguments against the applicability of human rights treaties and demonstrating that compliance with the treaties is unrealistic only if one takes an 'all or nothing' approach to them. He outlines a coherent and more flexible approach which distinguishes clearly between positive and negative obligations and makes treaty compliance more realistic. His proposals for the application of human rights treaties would also strengthen the legal framework for human rights protection in peace operations without posing any unrealistic obligations on the military forces"-- Provided by publisher.Contents Machine generated contents note: 1.

""The effective implementation of human rights treaty obligations in national law is subject to increasing attention. The main responsibility for the international monitoring of national implementation at the global level is entrusted to the UN human rights treaty bodies. These bodies are established by the respective human rights conventions and are composed of independent experts. This book examines three aspects of these bodies: the legal aspects of their structure, functions and decisions; their effectiveness in ensuring respect for human rights obligations; and the legitimacy of these bodies and their decisions. Containing contributions from a variety of eminent legal experts, including present and former members of the treaty bodies, the analysis should be read in light of the ongoing effort to strengthen treaty bodies under the auspices of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and with the involvement of relevant stakeholders"-- Provided by publisher."

""This collection of essays draws together innovative scholars to examine the relationship between two legal and political phenomena: the shrinking of the state as a monopoly of power in favour of the expansion of power over individuals in private hands, and the change in the nature of rights. The authors expertly discuss the implications of the changing boundaries of state power, the legal responses to this development, its application to human rights, and re-conceptualizations of public life as obligations are handed over to private hands. This innovative book deals with an important set of problems and offers a fresh perspective of different legal themes in an integrated fashion"--"

"Perubahan iklim merupakan permasalahan besar manusia saat ini. Dampak dari perubahan iklim dapat melanggar hak asasi manusia. Mengutip beberapa penelitian mengenai Carbon Majors, ditemukan bahwa emisi yang utamanya berasal dari industri bahan bakar fosil merupakan salah satu pihak yang berkontribusi besar terhadap perubahan iklim melalui gas rumah kacanya. Hal tersebut menimbulkan pertanyaan apakah korporasi yang berkontribusi menyebabkan dampak perubahan iklim dapat dimintakan pertanggungjawaban atau tidak. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji dan menganalisis bagaimana perubahan iklim berdampak pada hak asasi manusia, bagaimana kewajiban hak asasi manusia oleh korporasi terkait dampak perubahan iklim serta bagaimana pertanggungjawaban korporasi melalui mekanisme litigasi perubahan iklim berbasis hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis-normatif dan analisis kualitatif terhadap berbagai jenis data. Data penelitian yang digunakan adalah data sekunder mulai dari peraturan, putusan pengadilan, jurnal ataupun buku. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa perubahan iklim memang berdampak pada hak asasi manusia dan bahwa korporasi memiliki kewajiban hak asasi manusia dan dapat dimintakan tanggung jawab atas kontribusinya terhadap perubahan iklim. Terdapat dua jalur yang dapat digunakan untuk meminta pertanggungjawaban korporasi dengan menggunakan argumen hak asasi manusia atas dampak perubahan iklim, yaitu melalui gugatan pelanggaran hak dan gugatan perdata perbuatan melawan hukum. Alangkah baiknya apabila Pemerintah membuat peraturan yang mengikat yang mengatur mengenai kewajiban korporasi terkait hak asasi manusia dan perubahan iklim. Hal ini diperlukan agar setiap tindakan melakukan pencegahan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia perubahan iklim melalui aktivitasnya.

Climate change is a major problem for mankind right now. The impact of climate change can violate many human rights. Citing several studies on Carbon Majors, it was found that emissions mainly from the fossil fuel industry are one of the major contributors to climate change through their greenhouse gases. This raises the question of whether corporations that contribute to climate change impacts can be held accountable or not. This research will examine and analyze how climate change impacts on human rights, how the obligations of human rights by corporations are related to the impacts of climate change as well as how the corporation is accountable through human rights-based climate change litigation mechanisms. This research is a juridical-normative research and qualitative analysis of various types of data. This research used secondary data ranging from regulations, court decisions, journals or books. The results of this study find that climate change does have an impact on human rights and that corporations have human rights obligations and can be held accountable for their contribution to climate change. There are two ways that can be used to hold corporations accountable, those are, using human rights arguments for the impacts of climate change through lawsuits for violation of rights and civil lawsuits for unlawful acts. It would be better if the Government made binding regulations governing corporate obligations related to human rights and climate change. This is necessary so that every action takes to prevent climate change human rights violations through their activities."
