‘Cé leis í?’ Determining the legal position of the ‘Surrogate’ in a surrogacy relationship through the Reproductive Justice Framework: A proposed model for Ireland.

‘Cé leis í?’ Determining the legal position of the ‘Surrogate’ in a surrogacy relationship through the Reproductive Justice Framework: A proposed model for Ireland.
(2019)
Mulligan, Hayley Elizabeth
Abstract:
This thesis asks the question: Cé leis í? (Who is she?) This question refers to the uniquely Irish kinship structure which recognises complex filiation structures. Similarly, advances in assisted human reproduction which allow for surrogacy have raised increasingly complex kinship filiation questions of law and social policy. In the absence of specific law governing surrogacy arrangements in Ireland this thesis proposes a regulatory model to govern Irish domestic surrogacy relationships. The methodology adopted was interdisciplinary consisting of comparative doctrinal legal analysis of Ireland, South Africa and the UK viewed through the lens of the reproductive justice framework. What emerged from this analysis is a surrogacy law model that aligns more closely with the reproductive justice framework. In guarding against stratified reproduction, embodiment theory, single axis analysis, non-discrimination law and stereotyped ideas of motherhood, the reproductive justice framework goe...

“Braxton Hick’s” or the birth of a new era? Tracing the development of Ireland’s abortion laws in respect of European Court of Human Rights Jurisprudence
(2011)
Daly, Brenda
Abstract:
In Ireland, Article 40.3.3° of Bunreacht na hÉireann (the Irish Constitution) guarantees the right to life of the unborn child and the equal right to life of the mother. Abortion in Ireland is permissible only where there is a real and substantial risk to the mother’s own life. Since Ireland became a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights in 1950, there have been concerns that it could result in Ireland being compelled to introduce a right to abortion. This article commences with a review of the extant law on abortion in Ireland, tracing the Constitutional protection afforded to the unborn child. The article will discuss the impact of the European Court of Human Rights’ jurisprudence in regard to access to abortion and to information on abortion services in Ireland in an effort to ascertain if it really has resulted in a radical change to Irish abortion laws. As such, it will also be necessary to examine the more recent decisions of the ECtHR such as Tysiac v. Po...

12 years of the IHRC: promoting & protecting human rights in Ireland
(2012)
Irish Human Rights Commission (IHRC)
Abstract:
It has been my privilege to serve as President of the Irish Human Rights Commission (lHRC) since 2002, and I want to pay tribute at the outset to Judge Oonal Barrington who was its founding President and to all my fellow Commissioners for their service with the Commission during those years. Their expertise, insight and support has been invaluable in moving the Commission from the statute book into the field of public law and policy in the State. When the IHRC was being established An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern TO said that it should not merely follow standards but help to set them. We have succeeded in this and, in many ways, represent a global example of best practice in the human rights sphere

A focus group study of Indian psychiatrists’ Views on electroconvulsive therapy under India’s mental healthcare Act 2017: ‘The ground reality is different’
(2019)
Duffy, Richard M.; Gulati, Gautam; Paralikar, Vasudeo; Kasar, Niket; Goyal, Nishant; Desousa, Avinash; Kelly, Brendan D.
Abstract:
Background: India’s Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 (MHCA) greatly restricts the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in minors and bans unmodified ECT. Indian psychiatrists have raised concerns that these measures may deprive certain patients of life‑saving treatment. This study describes the perspectives of Indian psychiatrists on how ECT is dealt with in the legislation. Methods: We conducted nine focus groups in three Indian states. We explored the positive and negative implications of the MHCA and discussed its implementation, especially in relation to ECT. Results: Many of the themes and concerns commonly discussed in relation to ECT in other jurisdictions are readily apparent among Indian psychiatrists, although perspectives on specific issues remain heterogeneous. The one area of near‑universal agreement is Indian psychiatrists’ affirmation of the effectiveness of ECT. We identified three main areas of current concern: the MHCA’s ban on unmodified ECT, ECT in minors, and ECT i...

A framework for analysis of the inclusion of human rights and vulnerable groups in health policies
(2011)
MANNAN, HASHEEM; MacLachlan, Malcolm; McVeigh, Joanne
Abstract:
Ensuring that health policies uphold core concepts of human rights and are inclusive of vulnerable groups are imperative aspects of providing equity in health care, and of realizing the United Nations? call for Health for All. We outline the process of extensive consultation undertaken across countries and stakeholders culminating in the development of EquiFrame, in conjunction with its associated definitions of core concepts of human rights and vulnerability. EquiFrame is a systematic policy analysis framework that assesses the degree to which 21 core concepts of human rights and 12 vulnerable groups are mentioned and endorsed in health policy documents. We illustrate the scope of the framework by reporting the results of its application to two health policy documents from (Northern) Sudan: the rather generalist Health Policy of (Northern) Sudan, and the more specific National Drug Policy of (Northern) Sudan. We outline some limitations of the framework and highlight issues for con...

A mixed methods evaluation of a gender affirmative education program for families of trans young people
(2019)
Mc Cann, Edward; Sharek, Danika; Huntley-Moore, Sylvia
Abstract:
Research evidence suggests that education can play an important role in a family?s acceptance and support of a trans(gender) young person. However, there is a lack of robust evidence around the impact of education programs for these families. This article reports the findings of a mixed-methods evaluation of an online education program developed for families of trans young people. Surveys were administered before and after participation in the education program to assess the impact of the program on several measures, including trans-related knowledge, self-reflection and insight, family problem-solving, family communication, self-efficacy, and views of gender identity. Interviews were used to explore family members? experiences of the program, its perceived impact, and recommendations for further development. The survey findings revealed a statistically significant increase in knowledge scores from the pre-education program to post-education program. Interview participants felt the ...

Accountability in the delivery of 'A vision for change' - a performance assessment framework for mental health services
(2010)
Indecon International Economic Consultants
Abstract:
Currently there are limited mechanisms in Ireland for tracking mental health expenditure or its effectiveness. Yet accountability is a fundamental principle of human rights. Individuals need to be able to determine whether their government is fulfilling its obligation under human rights to progressively realise their right to the highest attainable standard of mental health. This report outlines the requirements to ensure accountability in the delivery of the Government’s mental health policy, A Vision for Change, and develops a performance assessment framework for mental health services in Ireland. The report was commissioned by Amnesty International Ireland (AI) and prepared by Indecon International Economic Consultants. This report takes place within the context of AI’s work on the right to the highest attainable standard of mental health and Indecon’s previous review of government spending on mental health services and progress on implementation of A Vision for Change, completed...

Advance directives in mental health care: hearing the voice of the mentally ill
(2010)
Morrissey, Fiona
Abstract:
Advance directives or “living wills” are statements by competent adults setting out their wishes in anticipation of future incapacity to make decisions. The capacity to make independent choices and decisions may be impacted by mental illness, making advance directives of relevance to mental health law. Advance mental health directives allow competent individuals to specify their treatment preferences in advance of an incapacitating mental health crisis. Advocates believe that they can enhance autonomy and empower persons with mental illness to participate in their future treatment decisions. Opponents believe that they present a wide range of legal and ethical problems, making them unworkable in practice. The potential therapeutic, economic and human rights benefits demand their consideration in the Irish mental health context.

Architecture of exclusion: the struggle for land and legitimacy of Palestinians under Israeli law

Abstract:
This research focuses on land law and provides an overview of the right to land under international law, followed by a background of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Subsequently, exploring the underpinning of the land regime in Israel, while focusing on land expropriation and forced housing eviction. The land is one of the core resources of human existence, development and activity. Therefore, it is a basis of political power of social and economic status. Land regimes and planning regulations play a dynamic role in deciding how competing claims over resources will be resolved. According to the legal geography theory, law and space are significant aspects of one another, and they examine, among other things, how spatial ordering impacts legal regimes and how legal rules form social and human space. How did the law shape the development of social and political space? Examining the state of Israel provides an example for ‘filling the gaps and silences in dominant historical narrativ...

Article 33 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: a new bridge to bring human rights law to the domestic level and create a dynamic of change
(2015)
Raley, Meredith
Abstract:
This thesis looks at Article 33 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Article 33 requires states to set up a framework, located both within and outside of government, to guide and monitor the implementation of the CRPD. It is a novel development in international law, which generally leaves implementation up to the states. This thesis looks at the history of human rights law and past reform efforts, to put Article 33 in the proper context. The problems with implementing human rights treaties, and the development of human rights law are documented. Past reform efforts, such as the effort to reform the UN human rights treaty body system, are studied to better understand the difficulties in improving human rights law. The development of National Human Rights Institutions is also looked at in great detail, as their rise in numbers is crucial to the creation of Article 33. It then looks at the development of Article 33, to determine why it took the form that...

Abstract:
Assistive technology (AT) is a powerful enabler of participation. The World Health Organization’s Global Collaboration on Assistive Technology (GATE) programme is actively working towards access to assistive technology for all. Developed through collaborative work as a part of the Global Research, Innovation and Education on Assistive Technology (GREAT) Summit, this position paper provides a “state of the science” view of AT users, conceptualized as “People” within the set of GATE strategic “P”s. People are at the core of policy, products, personnel and provision. AT is an interface between the person and the life they would like to lead. People’s preferences, perspectives and goals are fundamental to defining and determining the success of AT. Maximizing the impact of AT in enabling participation requires an individualized and holistic understanding of the value and meaning of AT for the individual, taking a universal model perspective, focusing on the person, in context, and then ...

Canary in the Coal Mine? China, the UNGA and the Changing World Order
(2017)
Brazys, Samuel; Dukalskis, Alexander
Abstract:
How China assumes its position of superpower is one of the most important questions regarding global order in the 21st century. While considerable and sustained attention has been paid to China’s growing economic and military might, work examining how China is attempting, if at all, to influence the ecosystem of global norms is in its earlier stages. In this article we examine China’s actions in an important venue for the development of global norms, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Using a unique dataset that captures how other countries move into or out of alignment with China on UNGA resolutions that are repeated over time, we find statistical evidence that China used diplomatic and economic means in an attempt to subtly alter international norms. We further illustrate these findings by examining four states that made substantive moves toward China on resolutions concerning national sovereignty, democracy, international order, non-interference, and human rights.
