Le principe d’égalité et de non-discrimination dans le droit familial burundais Universiteit Antwerpen

La première consécration est celle passant par la ratification par le Burundi des instruments internationaux et régionaux relatifs aux droits de l’homme contenant une ou plusieurs dispositions le proclamant. L’autre consécration est celle passant par les dispositions de la Constitution burundaise dédiées à ce principe. En dépit de cette double ...

Born free and equal?: on the ethical consistency of animal equality Universiteit Gent
This dissertation investigates the possibility of constructing a consistent ethical system that offers clear notions of equality and incorporates an animal ethic. The first part is more meta-ethical in nature, reflecting on notions such as moral intuitions, universalism, consistency and coherence. It demonstrates that moral illusions might exist and offers a method to discover such moral illusions. The second part turns to normative ethics, ...

For example, evidence points to the unequal impact of austerity measuressuch as the defunding and privatizing of health care-on already disadvantaged groups and individuals. Despite its detrimental impacts, austerity often appears as a necessary evil in times when difficult choices must be made. Justified through ...
Gender equality policies in the European Union Universiteit Antwerpen

Soon the Treaty article would evolve into a broader demand for equal rights related to work and ...
