Support for human rights in Swedish development cooperation
Bouší, Magdaléna ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (referee)
Human rights are basic rights that belong to every person all over the world. However, many countries still don't respect them and they are being violated on daily basis. Many of the countries that have issues with human rights are developing countries. Human rights support has therefore become one of the goals of development cooperation. Since the 90's it has become apparent that support of human rights is a crucial prerequisite for sustainable and fair long-term development. Many participants are striving for a deeper integration of human rights into their development activities. Currently, the highest level of integration is an approach based on human rights. Sweden is leading the way in development cooperation and is actively fighting for human rights support in the field of international politics. This paper is going to asses and evaluate to what degree are human rights integrated into Sweden's development cooperation.
Human Rights Based Approach to development in practice of international non-governmental organizations
Bočková, Jana ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Burešová, Jana (referee)
Since the 1990s, the concept of development aid began to change gradually while affecting the goals, methods and ways of delivering the aid. The development projects put increased emphasis on human rights which led to the so-called Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA). The approach is supported by states, international organizations and non-governmental actors. Due to the lack of a universally accepted definiton of HRBA NGOs have come up with a wide range of different concepts. The thesis focuses first on theory and implementation of the approach. Then it follows the current approaches in practice of NGOs. At the end it examines the work of the globally renowned aid and development charity Oxfam and its application of HRBA in practice.
