UNESCO - the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded on 16 November 1945. For this specialized United Nations agency, it is not enough to build classrooms in devastated countries or to publish scientific breakthroughs. Education, Social and Natural Science, Culture and Communication are the means to a far more ambitious goal : to build peace in the minds of men.(...).

Direitos de Autor

(...) A protecção jurídica das obras intelectuais constitui uma das bases do desenvolvimento sustentável das sociedades modernas.
Uma das condições para se atingir uma civilização baseada no conhecimento, na criatividade e na inovação radica no incentivo aos criadores de Cultura e aos agentes e entidades que animam diariamente com o seu trabalho as designadas "industrias culturais".
A criação de um regime jurídico definidor da protecção do direito de autor e dos direitos conexos respeita a um conjunto vasto de interessados, dos autores aos consumidores.A tarefa do Legislador e da Administração Pública é balizada pela necessidade de integrar harmoniosamente os diversos e contraditórios direitos e interesses.
O essencial, antes de mais, é que toda a gente possa conhecer, divulgar e exercitar o património de normas e princípios jurídicos que regulam esta específica e fundamental propriedade, a que respeita às obras do espírito.(...).

World Forum of Civil Society Networks - UBUNTU and the "World Campaign for In-depth Reform of the System of International Institutions" 2006

International conference for the reform of International Institutions
International Labour Organization (ILO) - Geneva - 20 and 21 November 2006

We in the Secretariat of the World Forum of Civil Society Networks - UBUNTU (www.ubuntu.upc.edu) and the "World Campaign for In-depth Reform of the System of International Institutions" (www.reformcampaign.net), on behalf of the Conference Committee, are very pleased to warmly invite you to participate actively in the:"INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR THE REFORM OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS", in the form of "DIALOGUES BETWEEN DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GOVERNANCE AND CIVIL SOCIETY ACTORS", to be held on 20 and 21 November 2006 in the headquarters of the ILO (International Labour Organization) in Geneva.
The UN summits (for example, the recent gatherings held in Monterrey on Financing for Development and in Johannesburg on Sustainable Development) have given rise to extremely interesting declarations and action plans but without the resources to fulfil them. Moreover, much of the responsibility has been shifted to the ‘global market’. In the light of these circumstances, there is a need for in-depth analysis on how the System of International Institutions should re-orientate itself. In a world in which conflict, violence, fundamentalism, etc. seem to be winning the war over peace and individual and collective human rights, this initiative, with its wide-ranging proposals, is more urgently required today than ever before.
Consequently, we believe there is a need for a gathering to continue earlier studies and conferences – a gathering that will draw on the work already done – and to analyse and put forward proposals for a new direction in the system of multilateral international institutions. Representatives from states and regional associations of states, autonomous governments and local authorities, parliamentary organisations and, of course, civil society organisations will come together for an International Conference for the Reform of International Institutions.(...).

Control Arms

Media Release: 77 governments champion resolution for an Arms Trade Treaty
10 October , 2006

In a massive show of support for stronger arms controls at the UnitedNations in New York, 77 governments co-sponsored a resolution tabled today to start work on a global Arms Trade Treaty. Many more governments are expected to back the initiative in the coming days.

The resolution will be debated tomorrow in the United Nations' First Committee and will proceed to a vote in the final week of October.
Several emerging exporters of weapons including Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria have pledged their support for an Arms Trade Treaty for the firsttime today. Other first time supporters include countries that have been devastated by armed violence including Colombia, East Timor, Haiti, Liberiaand Rwanda.
"Today we’ve seen the call for the Arms Trade Treaty transformed intoaction. Governments were given their first opportunity to endorse theresolution to start work on a Treaty, and they queued to sign up," said Anna Macdonald, Oxfam International's Control Arms Campaign Manager.
The resolution enjoyed widespread support across Africa, Latin America and Europe. The Canadian, South African and Brazilian governments are amongthose who have previously expressed support for an Arms Trade Treaty, andare expected to co-sponsor the resolution.
"The Arms Trade Treaty is gathering momentum. Straggler governments haveten days to get on board. This groundswell of support must not be held backby a few sceptical states," said Brian Wood, Amnesty International's Arms Policy Advisor.
Oxfam International, Amnesty International and the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) have joined forces to campaign for an ArmsTrade Treaty based on respect for international law, especially human rights and humanitarian law. The campaign, which is supported by 20 NobelPeace laureates, has been working towards this vote for three years.
"Since we started the Control Arms Campaign three years ago, it is estimated that over a million people have been killed by guns and other small arms. Governments must get behind the Arms Trade Treaty," said Mark Marge, IANSA's UN Representative.

Institute For Media, Peace and Security

History
In late June 2000, the Executive Committee of the Council of the University for Peace (UPEACE), headquartered in San José , Costa Rica , authorized the Rector to set up an Institute for Media, Peace and Security (IMPS) within the framework of the university. The Institute came into formal existence on November 7, 2000. Its administrative office is in Geneva as one of several offices that will eventually operate under the Council's authority.
Mandate
The Institute – "an intellectual tool for preventive diplomacy" -- aims to educate people in the many ways the media interact with issues of conflict, peace and security. It welcomes two kinds of participants: persons from areas of recent, current or potential conflict; and persons from countries or organizations strongly concerned with international peace and security. Its research program feeds directly into the classroom, targeting international questions in which the media play a significant role. By its education and research programs, and by its day-to-day contacts with UN and regional peacekeeping bodies and partner organizations, the Institute hopes to contribute to new thinking about how free media can help prevent conflict – and to alert decision-makers, as well as the general public, to looming risks of war.

Independence and Practicality

Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, Honorary President, University for Peace
Like the University for Peace as a whole, the Institute is independent of day-to-day policy or administrative control by the United Nations. But because the University was created in 1980 by Resolution of the UN General Assembly, the Institute will try to make its work as useful as possible to the UN, especially for peacekeeping and conflict prevention. It will also work with regional peace and security organizations such as the OSCE, NATO, the African Union, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It will keep aware of the challenges they face and adapt its teaching and research to help them develop practical solutions.
Values: Free Media, Democracy
The Institute's courses, research and other activities will aim to develop and strengthen free media worldwide. Free media being an indispensable foundation of democracy, and democracy tending more often than not to serve peace, our action ultimately aims to help prevent international conflict. As a small, specialized organization, we intend to work with any other organizations or groups pursuing similar goals. (...).

PETIÇÃO PARA TORNAR OFICIAL O IDIOMA PORTUGUÊS NAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS

To: Nações Unidas (U.N.)

PETIÇÃO PARA TORNAR OFICIAL O IDIOMA PORTUGUÊS NAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS

Fundamenta proposta à Organização das Nações Unidas para oficializar o Idioma Português.

Considerando que mais de 250 milhões de pessoas se expressam no idioma português, com importante presença sócio-cultural e geopolítica em várias nações de todos os continentes, sendo a 5a mais falada no mundo (em números absolutos), a 3a entre as consideradas línguas universais de cultura e uma das 4 faladas nos seis continentes;
Considerando que uma língua, além de meio de comunicação, expressa conteúdo existencial, modos de sentir, de pensar e de viver de grupamentos humanos, constituindo, através dos séculos, uma identidade cultural, com peculiar criatividade, valores ético-sociais e sentimentos coletivos, refletidos no idioma que são intraduzíveis e que necessitam continuar vivendo e revelando culturas;
Considerando que a lusofonia vem se situando de forma crescente em várias partes do mundo, pelos seus escritores, poetas, inventores, cientistas, artistas, somando-se desde os navegadores e descobridores que fizeram sua história, com significativa presença nos meios de comunicação de massa através de telenovelas, noticiários, reportagens, etc, projetando-se na literatura, música, esportes e artes em geral;
Considerando que nosso idioma, ao se tornar oficial no universo da ONU, colocando-se em condições de igualdade com outros idiomas, é ato de respeito e apoio às comunidades das nações de língua portuguesa, valorizando sua unidade e participação sócio-econômico-cultural no contexto internacional;
Considerando o trabalho da Comunidade dos Países da Língua Portuguesa / CPLP, que tem alcançado novos contornos nas relações internacionais, minimizando conflitos ideológicos do passado e ressaltando suas potencialidades nacionais e parcerias internacionais, com documentos de Chefes de Estado e de Governo das oito nações, em projetos de cooperação que estão dando corpo e alma aos fundamentos dessa nova Comunidade;
Considerando que a comunidade – CPLP – tem se empenhado em valorizar os seus três pilares – da política, da economia e da cultura, que colocam em conexão, de maneira respeitável, a África, a América Latina e a Europa, enfatizando o caráter universalista da lusofonia, que cada vez mais se afirma em nível supra-nacional;
Considerando que a iniciativa de tornar oficial o idioma português na ONU estará, por justiça e méritos, prestando um histórico serviço aos países de língua portuguesa, que constituem uma comunidade presente e atuante em todos os Continentes, com expressivo contingente populacional, incluindo: Brasil, com 180 milhões de habitantes, uma das dez maiores economias do mundo, líder natural do MERCOSUL; Portugal, com 10 milhões; Angola, com 11 milhões; Moçambique, com 17 milhões; Cabo Verde, com 417 mil habitantes; Guiné Bissau, com 1 milhão; São Tomé e Príncipe, com 130 mil e Timor-Leste, com 175 mil (estimativas recentes), que somam variados costumes, crenças, raças, tendências políticas e que têm a lusofonia como forte laço de identidade cultural e cooperação;
Considerando que este congraçamento de entidades culturais, que tem sua origem, essencialmente, no idioma português, deve constituir instrumento capaz de sensibilizar definitivamente a ONU para reconhecer o idioma português oficialmente, a exemplo da União Européia, torna-se indispensável, imprescindível mesmo, que o Elos Clube envolva o elismo nacional e internacional para o estabelecimento de um planejamento estratégico com a inclusão de Academias de Letras, universidades, órgãos nacionais representativos das profissões: OAB, Conselho Federal de Medicina, associações, e outras; o Congresso Nacional, a Assembléia da República Portuguesa e os Ministros das Relações Exteriores dos países de língua portuguesa, o que permitirá, finalmente, vencer os obstáculos e alcançar o objetivo de ver reconhecido pela ONU o idioma Português como oficial na sua organização, ao lado do Árabe, Chinês, Espanhol, Francês, Inglês e Russo. Colaboração do CE Waldenir de Bragança Elos de Niterói, RJ, Brasil Presidente CE Tomaz Correia de Miranda Lima Petição Aprovada por Unanimidade e Aclamação na Convenção do Elos Clube Internacioinal da Comunidade Lusíada realizada em Tavira de 21 a 23 de Outubro de 2005 Vice-Presidente Continental para a Europa do Elos Clube Internacional José Luís Guedes de Campos elos.vpconteuropa@gmail.com

Women's Learning Partnership (WLP) For Rights, Developement, and Peace

"Nothing in the world is impossible if we work together"

Who We Are
Women's Learning Partnership (WLP) is dedicated to women's leadership and empowerment. At its essence, WLP is a builder of networks, working with 18 autonomous and independent partner organizations in the Global South, particularly in Muslim-majority societies, to empower women to transform their families, communities, and societies.
We strongly believe that women, working in partnership, will learn the skills and implement the strategies needed to secure human rights, contribute to the development of their communities, and ultimately create a more peaceful world.
Our primary objectives are to increase the number of women taking on leadership and decision-making roles at family, community, and national levels, and to improve the effectiveness of feminist movements in Muslim-majority societies and globally by strengthening the capacity of our partner organizations.
WLP is an international, non-governmental organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

What We Do
In cooperation with our partners, we create culturally-adapted leadership training curriculum and implement leadership and empowerment programs for grassroots women in 18 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
We build the organizational capacity and ICT capacity of our partner organizations to support the collective mobilization of women in the Global South for gender equality and social justice.
In order to expand and protect women's human rights and to build a culture of peace, we engage in campaigns and hold South-South and South-North dialogues on the challenges and opportunities facing women in the Global South, particularly in Muslim-majority societies.
We ensure that gender equality remains on the agenda of policymakers and civil society leaders through our advocacy and networking activities.
Our news, events, and publications share the experiences of women organizers in the Global South, raising the visibility of their work, and enriching the global debate on gender equality, rights, development, and peace.

Our History
WLP was created in response to the expressed needs of a network of NGO leaders and grassroots activists in the Middle East-North Africa region in the aftermath of the 1995 Beijing Fourth World Conference for Women. On their recommendation, WLP organized a dialogue in June 2000 for 15 women NGO leaders from Muslim-majority societies to identify the themes and priority areas for the newly established organization. The participants concluded that it was of utmost importance to redefine concepts of leadership and power to conform to women's values; develop culture-specific curriculum that could be adapted to varied societies; and train and help women achieve positions of leadership and decision-making in the public sphere.
As a result of these deliberations, WLP developed a concept of participatory leadership based on dialogue, consensus building, and shared vision and identified the key role of information communication technology (ICT) in strengthening South-South and South-North communications in women's human rights advocacy. WLP formed a partnership with an initial group of organizations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East: Association Démocratique des Femmes du Maroc (Morocco), BAOBAB for Women's Human Rights (Nigeria), and Women's Affairs Technical Committee (Palestine). The organizations worked in partnership to create a prototype leadership training curriculum for women, Leading to Choices: A Leadership Training Handbook for Women.
In 2001, WLP convened a meeting of its International Advisory Council, a group of human rights and development experts with diverse professional, cultural, and religious perspectives, to examine the ideas, concepts, and methodologies used in the new leadership model; to review preliminary field results from test workshops; and to suggest ways of enhancing the prototype handbook.
In 2002, WLP organized an Institute for Women's Leadership and Training of Trainers, expanding the partnership network to include organizations from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, and Uzbekistan. Drawing on the participatory leadership methodology guiding the prototype curriculum, WLP and its partners established a shared model for grassroots leadership training workshops for women. In addition, partners identified their need for organizational and ICT capacity building to support the implementation of successful leadership and empowerment programs.
The Partnership has grown to include 18 autonomous and independent organizations from the Global South and our culturally-adapted curriculum is now available in 14 languages. We have disseminated our participatory leadership training methodology and expanded and strengthened our networks through six National and Regional Institutes for Women's Leadership and Training of Trainers. While grassroots leadership workshops remain a vital componenent of our work, we have continued to innovate the form and content of our training, and also provide ICT workshops and eCourses (online distance learning courses) in participatory leadership. A long-term commitment to responsive organizational and ICT capacity building has supported the sustainable growth of the Partnership and of our programs.(...).

Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) is an independent academic institution dedicated to the promotion of human rights through research, training and education. The Institute is named after Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat, in order to pay homage to his well-known humanitarian work in Hungary at the end of the Second World War. In legal terms the Institute is a charitable trust under Swedish private law and is governed by a board of trustees. Established in 1984 at the Faculty of Law at Lund University, Sweden, the Institute is currently involved in organising three Master Programmes and an interdisciplinary human rights programme at the undergraduate level. Host to one of the largest human rights libraries in northern Europe and engaged in various research and publication activities, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute provides researchers and students with a conducive study environment.
With funding from, among others, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), a wide range of training and capacity building programmes in the field of human rights are carried out in Sweden and abroad.
The activities of the Institute do not involve official reporting on state performance, monitoring of state compliance or other methods of work in the human rights field that could be considered confrontational in character.
Apart from the close cooperation RWI has with Lund University, the Institute maintains extensive relationships with several other academic institutions as well as international organisations, non-governmental organisations and government institutions worldwide. It also participates in various networks of Nordic, European and international institutions, within the framework of its mandate.
Academic Education
Postgraduate studies in human rights
The Institute organises three Master Programmes in cooperation with the Faculty of Law at Lund University, one in International Human Rights Law and one in Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights Law. The latter programme is co-sponsored by the WIPO Worldwide Academy in Geneva. The third Master Programme in co-operation with ILO on human rights and international labour standards will commence in autumn 2006.
The Master Programmes offer courses leading to a LL.M. degree and provide students with advanced knowledge of public international law, international organisations, human rights, intellectual property rights, refugee law, humanitarian law and other related subjects. The purpose of the Programmes is to prepare candidates for professional careers and/or further academic studies in the human rights field.
The Master Programmes begin in September of each year and last for three semesters. The Programmes consist of three parts of equal importance: obligatory courses, elective courses and a master thesis. The thesis work consists of the preparation and public defence of an essay of 60-70 pages, with professorial supervision, on a specialised topic within the general sphere of the courses offered. Studies are open to both Swedish and foreign students. Students from developing countries are eligible to apply for scholarships through funding provided by Sida, the Swedish Institute and other sources.
Undergraduate studies in human rights
This is a two-year programme at the undergraduate level. The courses within the programme were developed and are administered by the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies, the Department of Political Science, the Department of History and RWI, all within Lund University.
The courses provide knowledge of human rights from an interdisciplinary perspective, including knowledge of international and regional treaties with particular reference to their historical and ideological contexts, applicability and implementation.
The purpose of the programme is to give students useful tools for analysing the implementation of human rights law and national and international structures important for the human rights system, as well as to enhance skills for critical analysis of international discourses relating to historical, ethical, religious and ideological perspectives and concepts.
Technical Cooperation
With funding primarily from Sida, the Institute carries out a wide range of human rights capacity building programmes in Sweden and abroad. The programmes target government agencies, academic institutions and non-governmental organisations in developing countries and countries in transition. These programmes are usually long-term commitments, both in terms of financial support and programme development. The Institute carries out programmes in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Europe. To assist in the co-ordination of activities abroad, the Institute maintains field offices in select partner countries.
A major component of the technical assistance RWI provides is training for key persons and the transfer of knowledge and skills to target institutions. The training is either organised through multilateral programmes, with participants from several countries or on a bilateral basis. The multilateral programmes are mainly organised in Lund, while the regional and bilateral programmes generally take place in the respective regions and countries.
In addition to training, other components offer support in setting up documentation centres and advice on management and organisational issues. The majority of the programmes target academic institutions, the judiciary, prosecutors, attorneys, law enforcement and prison officials, representatives of national human rights commissions and ombudsman institutions, traditional leaders, parliamentarians, journalists, minorities and indigenous peoples, and representatives of non-governmental organisations. Additional themes of the technical co-operation programmes include human rights of women and good governance.
Research
Partly in co-operation with the Faculty of Law at Lund University, professors, lecturers and visiting academics engaged in public international law and human rights teaching and research are often based at RWI. Doctoral candidates at the Faculty of Law working on dissertations involving subjects outlined above have their offices at the Institute. On a selective basis the Institute also carries out applied or policy-based research, with a focus on specific human rights questions.
Library
Holding one of northern Europe’s largest collections of materials in the field of public international law in general and international human rights law in particular, the Institute library provides researchers and students with a conducive study and learning environment. The Library of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute is a reference library open to the public.
Publications
In cooperation with Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, an imprint of Brill Academic Publishers, RWI has initiated five series of publications and publishes a number of related books and journals.
The Raoul Wallenberg Human Rights Library (Blue Series) contains monographs, collections of essays and selected documents on important issues within human rights. At present some 20 volumes have been published in this series.
The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights guides (Red Series) provide systematic presentations of instruments and documents on specific human rights themes.
The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Professional Guides to Human Rights (Orange Series) are designed to provide professionals with tools and resources for reference, research, education and training in human rights, including teaching manuals on human rights for the police and for other professionals working in the administration of justice.
The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Series on Intergovernmental Human Rights Documentation (Green Series) includes volumes containing the concluding observations of the United Nations human rights treaty bodies and relevant documentation of intergovernmental organisations.
The Raoul Wallenberg Institute New Authors Series (Yellow Series). With regular intervals, the Institute publishes a selection of the latest master theses of students in Lund.
This co-operation with Martinus Nijhoff further includes the publication of four journals in the area of international law, the Baltic Yearbook of International Law, the Chinese Yearbook of Human Rights, the International Journal on Minority and Group Rights and the Nordic Journal of International Law.(...).
