This unique textbook merges human rights law with its practice, from the courtroom to the battlefield. Human rights are analysed in their particular context, and the authors assess, among other things, the impact of international finance, the role of NGOs, and the protection of rights in times of emergency, including the challenges posed by counter-terrorism. In parallel, a series of interviews with practitioners, case studies and practical applications offer multiple perspectives and challen...

Finally, a book that offers a practical yet well-researched guide for practitioners seeking to hone the way they show up in citizen space.

At a time when public trust in institutions is at its lowest, expectations of those institutions to make people well, knowledgeable, and secure are rapidly increasing. These expectations are unrealistic, causing disenchantment and disengagement among citizens and increasing levels of burnout among many professionals. Rekindling Democracy is not just a prac...

History does not inform us when and how this beautiful peninsula—called Hispania by the Romans—first became in-habited. Whether the earliest emigrants crossed the straits of Gibraltar from Africa, or came from Asia, coasting the shores of the Mediterranean, or descended from France through the defiles of the Pyrenees, can now never be known. The first glimpse we catch of Spain, through the haze of past ages, reveals to us the country inhabited by numerous barbaric tri-bes, fiercely hostil...

In talking about Europe, it is common to emphasise the democratic, constitutional and peaceful values that unite Europeans. However, according to Dag Nikolaus Hasse, it is not that easy to find an essence of Europe.

Life urges us to find answers on many different levels, regarding the world, regarding ourselves and mainly regarding the reason of our existence. Our answers are often biased, dictated by custom and tradition, also when they are considered as ‘religion’ and ‘science’. Author Yoginâm went with this book on a phenomenological quest of what it means that we are what we are, seeing the world the way we see it. He found in Siweb an approach that is so simple, so logical, and so easy to u...

Investors like Blackrock are rapidly buying up the earth. How does it affect our freedom if we can no longer own our homes, farmland, or workshops?

Most of our lives are determined by earth ownership. In a material sense, some people have to pay rent or mortgage their entire lives, while others become super rich thanks to land ownership. We rightly fear the consequences if we don’t — or can’t — pay our rent or mortgage. We do not dare to live how we prefer. We refrain from starting ou...

Cause is that duantum magnum magnetism force, that is indefinitum in scope: for human purposes, it is, hypothetically, infinite: forcing the cut out segment of its inner core, which is nothing but invisible fibre-cabling: prospect-lines of the Duantum Universe with indefinitum power, from all directions inwards, bringing it to an invisible dot to become Solidaas and, then, as it is let go off that pressure, suddenly, the effect appears in an explosion of beyond imagination ferocity, speed and...
