    The EU's framework for the promotion of Human Rights and democracy support
    (Universidad de Deusto = Deustuko Unibertsitatea, Instituto de Estudios Europeos, 2015-10-31) Churruca Muguruza, Cristina; Nagore Casas, María
    In the last years the EU has developed a policy framework for human rights promotion and democracy support. The key document in which the EU declares its policy principles, objectives and priorities in this field is the Strategic Framework on Human Rights and Democracy, adopted by the Council on 25 June 2012. Starting with an analysis of the framework the aim of this article is to map and analyse the objectives and priorities that guide the EU policy and the specific instruments created to contribute to the promotion of human right and democracy worldwide, like the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights. It looks in particular at the EU priorities in terms of themes and vulnerable groups. The article draws attention to some inconsistencies between the Strategic Framework and its implementation instrument, the Action Plan.

    Humanitarian action at Europe’s borders: ambivalence, contestation and domestication under the European pact on migration and asylum

    Language serves as a vital conduit through which culture, emotion, and social meaning are conveyed, particularly in judicial contexts where witness testimonies shape the factual record. This study systematically examines the use of coded language and euphemisms in eyewitness testimonies before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Drawing on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of 64 trial transcripts across 16 cases, we investigate the prevalence of culturally embedded linguistic forms and assess their distribution by witness type. Contrary to prior anecdotal expectations, we found that coded language and euphemisms were used much less frequently during trials than anticipated, with expert witnesses, rather than crime-base witnesses, accounting for the majority of instances. This research contributes to a growing literature on language, law, and culture in post-conflict justice settings. Our findings highlight how linguistic choices can impact evidentiary clarity. They underscore the importance of cultural sensitivity in international trials and suggest avenues for improving interpretation practices.

    La protección de las personas desplazadas internamente y la construcción de la paz
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Departamento de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales, 2011-06-30) Churruca Muguruza, Cristina
    El objetivo de este trabajo es por un lado poner de relieve el problema de desprotección de las personas desplazadas internamente. Por otro plantear la necesidad de que la búsqueda de soluciones duraderas para las personas desplazadas internamente se convierta en una cuestión central de una agenda internacional de construcción de la paz al servicio de la seguridad humana. Señala porqué los PDI se han convertido en una preocupación internacional y que justifica una especial atención en su protección. Explica la emergencia y el significado de un concepto de protección basado en derechos y desde las comunidades frente a conceptos de protección desde las instituciones como la "responsabilidad de proteger". La protección de las PDI implica en última instancia la búsqueda de soluciones duraderas. Sin embargo, como se quiere evidenciar, la práctica de la construcción de la paz y el proyecto de la paz liberal ni priorizan la seguridad humana ni abordan el problema de las PDI de la forma adecuada. Asimismo la crítica de la paz liberal basada en que se trata de un enfoque que prioriza derechos sobre necesidades tiene el peligro de relegar a los más marginados incluso por sus propios gobiernos, las PDI, al papel de simples víctimas sin derecho a una paz justa. Para finalizar se plantean algunas conclusiones y cuestiones que pueden orientar una agenda de investigación.

    Shrinking protection space through gatekeeping and fencing strategies: the impact of eu´s migration control on the protection of asylum seekers and forced migrants at eu’s external borders
    (Universidad de Málaga (UMA), Área de Derecho Internacional Público y Relaciones Internacionales, 2019-12-31) Churruca Muguruza, Cristina
    Forced migrants fleeing violent conflict, human rights abuses, persecution and other threats to life and livelihoods are entitled to the protection of their fundamental rights. Although in proportion there are few seeking refuge in the EU their protection space at external borders is shrinking. Starting with an explanation for the growing sophistication and inhumanity of European policies this article seeks to highlight the impact of the European migration control on the protection of forced migrants. It shows how in the complex framework of the European management and control of migration policy, border spaces of un-protection have been created through gatekeeping and fencing strategies at EU external borders.
