Democracias iliberales y derechos humanos: un nuevo libro de jugadas
Mientras los líderes populistas avivan el nacionalismo y violan los derechos básicos, las estrategias tradicionales de promoción y defensa están perdiendo su eficacia. El movimiento de derechos humanos necesita un nuevo libro de jugadas. Muchas de las medidas contra los derechos humanos —las campañas de desprestigio, por ejemplo— no son algo nuevo, los ataques ahora provienen de gobiernos electos, a diferencia de las dictaduras del pasado.
Populism and human rights: a new playbook
With populist leaders stoking nationalism and violating basic rights, traditional advocacy strategies are losing their effectiveness. The human rights movement needs a new playbook. Many of the measures against human rights—for example, smear campaigns—are not new, the attacks are now coming from elected governments, as opposed to the dictatorships of the past.
Como identificar um regime autoritário contemporâneo
Para identificar um regime autoritário contemporâneo, podemos começar perguntando o que a Hungria e o Brasil têm em comum. Viktor Orban, primeiro ministro da Hungria, e Jair Bolsonaro, presidente do Brasil, situados em lados opostos do Oceano Atlântico e da linha do Equador, têm muito em comum. Eles introduziram reformas legais, políticas e institucionais semelhantes, destinadas a centralizar o poder em um mundo ainda afeiçoado à ideia de democracia.

La negación de la pandemia: una tormenta imperfecta para la autocratización en Brasil
En lugar de usar la pandemia para consolidar su poder, Bolsonaro ha negado el problema y se ha enfrentado con su propio gobierno. ¿Podría este error poner fin a su autocracia? A man walks past graffiti depicting Jair Bolsonaro and healthcare workers, which reads: "Which side of the rope are you on?" in Sao Paulo. Sebastiao Moreira/EFE. La ansiedad por la supervivencia es el sentimiento dominante en una pandemia. Como individuos, tenemos miedo de perder la vida o la salud.
Pandemic denial: an imperfect storm for autocratization in Brazil
Rather than using the pandemic to consolidate power, Bolsonaro has denied the problem and clashed with his own government—could this mistake end his autocracy?

Hungary’s Anti-NGO Tax Violates Free Speech and Freedom of Association
December 18, 2018 By Daniela Ikawa It is a long way from the angry street protests that have unfolded over the past few nights in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, to the Baroque splendor of the halls of the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice.
How to identify a contemporary authoritarian regime
To identify a contemporary authoritarian regime, we can start by asking what Hungary and Brazil have in common. Across the Atlantic Ocean and the Equator, Viktor Orban, Hungary’s Prime Minister, and Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s President, hold a lot in common. They have introduced similar legal, political and institutional reforms aimed at centralizing power in a world still fond of the idea of democracy. One element is in their favor: both leaders have been elected.

A butterfly effect-steps to improve UPR implementation
A decade ago, the United Nations Human Rights Council (the Council) was established to, in the words of the then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, pave the way for an era of human rights implementation.

Asking whose lives matter in the battle for social, cultural, and economic rights
2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Over the past five decades, there has been growing recognition of economic, social and cultural rights in both international and domestic systems of law. However, there is still resistance to accepting the indivisibility between civil and political rights on the one hand and economic, social and cultural rights on the other.
Putting universality into the Universal Periodic Review
As articulated in its founding resolution, the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the United Nations Human Rights Council aims to promote the universality, interdependence, indivisibility and interrelatedness of all human rights. This means, as Aoife Hegarty and Hans Fridlund recently pointed out, that the universality in its title is not only geographic, but also thematic.
