'A gem of a book ... Inspiring and timely. Everyone should read it' Independent 'The Rule of Law' is a phrase much used but little examined. The idea of the rule of law as the foundation of modern states and civilisations has recently become even more talismanic than that of democracy, but what does it actually consist of? In this brilliant short book, Britain's former senior law lord, and one of the world's most acute legal minds, examines what the idea actually means. He makes clear that the rule of law is not an arid legal doctrine but is the foundation of a fair and just society, is a guarantee of responsible government, is an important contribution to economic growth and offers the best means yet devised for securing peace and co-operation. He briefly examines the historical origins of the rule, and then advances eight conditions which capture its essence as understood in western democracies today. He also discusses the strains imposed on the rule of law by the threat and experience of international terrorism. The book will be influential in many different fields and should become a key text for anyone interested in politics, society and the state of our world.
Las negociaciones de adhesión entre la República de Turquía y la Unión Europea poseen cincuenta largos años de historia. La normativa turca que regula el ejercicio de los derechos humanos ha merecido serios cuestionamientos legales y políticos por parte de las instituciones europeas que velan por la promoción de la democracia, la protección de los derechos humanos y el fortalecimiento del Estado de Derecho en todo el mundo. La insatisfactoria tutela que aún posee el país candidato, conforme a los Criterios de Copenhague, ha hecho levantar la voz tanto de organismos internacionales como de organizaciones no gubernamentales alertando acerca del peligro al que se expone a la sociedad ...

Education plays an essential role in the promotion of the core values of the Council of Europe: democracy, human rights And The rule of law, As well as in the prevention of human rights violations. More generally, education is increasingly seen as a defence against the rise of violence, racism, extremism, xenophobia, discrimination and intolerance. This growing awareness is reflected in the adoption of the Council of Europe Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education (EDC/ HRE) by the Organisation's 47 member states in the framework of Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)7. The Charter was developed over a period of several years as a result of wide-ranging consultations and is non-binding. it will be an important reference point for all those dealing with citizenship and human rights education. it will hopefully provide a focus and catalyst for action in the member states, As well as a way of disseminating good practice and raising standards throughout Europe and beyond.
Human rights cannot be effectively defended by legal measures alone, but also need to be safeguarded and respected by everyone in the community, especially young people. This manual on human rights education provides an information resource for youth leaders, teachers and others involved in youth education, with ideas and practical activities to motivate young people to form a positive awareness of human rights in their own lives. It has been produced within the framework of the Human Rights Education Youth Programme launched in 2000.
