100 and 1 Terms for Human Rights Education

    Second Edition

 

    100 et 1 mots

    Presentation of the Second Edition

     

    In anticipation of the International Conference on Education, the EIP and the IBE decided it would be useful to collaborate in order to publish a teacher’s manual dealing with International Human Rights Law in everyday language. As a result, 100 and 1 Terms for Human Rights Education was published in English and French and translated into Slovenian in 2006. A few years later, we thought it was time to contemplate a second edition rather than another reprint of the first edition. This second edition has been made possible by a donation from Mrs. Noëlle Mühlethaler to whom we are most grateful.

     

    Consequently, the 100 and 1 terms now total 138, but we decided it would be useful to keep the same title in order to reflect the continuity between the two editions. In addition to rewriting numerous entries, we have also added new ones due to developments in the international arena in regard to human rights. For example, criminal law has taken on an increasingly important role, as witnessed with the International Criminal Court, war crimes and crimes against humanity. New institutions have also been implemented, such as the Human Rights Council, the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee and various others Committees. Furthermore, countless treaties have been adopted and come into force, such as the Arab Charter on Human Rights, or the Conventions on enforced disappearances and disabled persons. In addition, some entries, which were not included in the first edition for technical reasons, have been added, such as apartheid, refugee and torture. Therefore, it is with pleasure that we present this modified and enhanced second edition.

     

    The first edition began with a preface signed by the Secretary-General of the EIP and Mrs. Cecilia Braslavsky. Since Mrs. Braslavsky passed away in 2005, we have kept her signature intact as a tribute. We also want to pay tribute to Mrs. Lucie Nour N’Kaké, who passed away in 2007, since she assisted in the first edition’s technical realisation.
