Global citizenship in primary and secondary education in the Netherlands Year of publication: 2012 Author: Lette Hogeling Corporate author: National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (NCDO) NCDO has examined the opinions and methods of teachers and directors with regard to global citizenship, as well as the obstacles and opportunities they experience around global citizenship in education. More than 1,500 teachers and almost 300 directors have participated in the research.

Also, the majority of the teachers are of the opinion that it is important that the lessons link up with current events. Nevertheless, only a minority of the teachers in primary and secondary education believe that global citizenship should be a compulsory part of the curriculum.

Global citizenship: from public support to active participation Year of publication: 2012 Author: Christine Carabain | Shelena Keulemans | Marije van Gent | Gabi Spitz Corporate author: National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (NCDO) This publication explores the concept of global citizenship by drawing on the most relevant, mainly scientific, literature. This exploration will in the coming years be the basis for NCDO’s programmes in the area of research, staff training, and knowledge sharing. NCDO has the important task of engaging people in these two major changes in perspective: what does it mean, how important is it to us, how can we contribute to it? NCDO considers it its responsibility to raise awareness amongst Dutch citizens of the growing connection and mutual dependency between people across the globe, as well as to make them aware of the opportunities they have to help tackle global issues. In other words: NCDO aims to advance the global dimension of citizenship in the Netherlands. But what exactly is that global dimension of citizenship? Despite growing awareness of the importance of global citizenship, a clear and broadly accepted definition of the concept is still lacking (Hart, 2011). To date the concept is often explained by using examples and focus areas. This publication will present the definition of global citizenship that NCDO will employ in the coming period. Global citizenship: from public support to active participation Year of publication: 2012 Author: Christine Carabain | Shelena Keulemans | Marije van Gent | Gabi Spitz Corporate author: National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (NCDO) Cette publication explore le concept de citoyenneté mondiale en abordant essentiellement le côté scientifique, la littérature la plus pertinente,. Cette exploration dans les années à venir sera la base pour les programmes de NCDO dans le domaine de la recherche, la formation du personnel, et le partage des connaissances. NCDO a la tâche importante d'engager les gens dans ces deux grands changements en perspective: qu'est-ce que cela veut dire, combien il est important pour nous, comment pouvons-nous y contribuer? NCDO estime qu'il lui incombe de sensibiliser les citoyens néerlandais de la connexion croissante et la dépendance mutuelle entre les peuples à travers le monde, ainsi que pour leur faire connaître les possibilités qu'ils ont pour aider à résoudre les problèmes mondiaux. En d'autres termes: NCDO vise à faire progresser la dimension globale de la citoyenneté aux Pays-Bas. Mais qu'est-ce que la dimension mondiale de la citoyenneté? Malgré la prise de conscience de l'importance de la citoyenneté mondiale, une définition claire et largement acceptée du concept fait toujours défaut (Hart, 2011). À ce jour, le concept est souvent expliqué à l'aide des exemples et des domaines d'intervention. Cette publication présentera la définition de la citoyenneté mondiale qui NCDO emploiera dans la période à venir. 
How Effective Is the Role of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Protecting and Promoting Human Rights (The Arabic Journal of Human and Social Science; Vol.13, No.5) Year of publication: 2021 Author: Saffo Nardjesse Corporate author: University of Djelfa The issue of human rights remained the first in the list of human concerns and hopes, and one of the priorities that emerged on the shoulders of the United Nations within its established and difficult-to-reach programs and goals. There is no doubt that the most important causes of its emergence are attributable to those flagrant violations of human rights, especially those linked to war crimes and others against humanity, which prompted the major countries specifically to consider establishing a body concerned with the first of all the maintenance of international peace and security and the protection and promotion of human rights. , Through the Commission on Human Rights as one of the sub-committees established by the Economic and Social Council, which is tasked with preserving the sanctity of these rights. However, it soon proved ineffective due to the control of states violating human rights on the one hand and the politicization of their role on the other hand. Over the years, the committee dealt with human rights issues in ways that some commentators described as unsatisfactory and more sterile. As a result, the new body was established under the name of the "Human Rights Council" by General Assembly Resolution 60/251, and was considered the largest international body entrusted with the responsibility of promoting global respect. Human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without discrimination of any kind and in a just and equitable manner. Did the new mechanism, with its newly created composition, adequately address the weaknesses of the Commission on Human Rights? In other words, has the Human Rights Council added from its inception to today a greater value and contribution to the ؟protection and promotion of human rights? مدى فعالية دور مجلس الأمم المتحدة لحقوق الإنسان في حماية وتعزيز حقوق الانسان (دراسات وأبحاث; Vol.13, No.5) Year of publication: 2021 Author: Saffo Nardjesse Corporate author: University of Djelfa ظلت قضية حقوق الإنسان الأولى في قائمة هواجس وآمال الإنسانية وأحد الأولويات التي ترتبت على عاتق الأمم المتحدة ضمن برامجها وأهدافها المسطرة والصعبة المنال. فما من ريب من كون أهم أسباب نشأتها إنما تعزى لتلك الانتهاكات الصارخة لحقوق الإنسان لاسيما ما ارتبط منها بارتكاب جرائم حرب وأخرى ضد الإنسانية، وهو ما دفع الدول الكبرى على وجه التحديد إلى التفكير في إنشاء هيئة تُعنى ابتداءً بالمحافظة على السلم والأمن الدوليين وحماية وتعزيز حقوق الإنسان، عبر لجنة حقوق الإنسان بوصفها إحدى اللجان الفرعية التي أنشأها المجلس الاقتصادي والاجتماعي والتي أُوكلت لها مهمة الحفاظ على قدسية هذه الحقوق. غير أنه ما لبث أن ثبت عدم فعاليتها بسبب سيطرة الدول المنتهكة لحقوق الإنسان من جهة وتسييس دورها من جهة أخرى. إذ عالجت اللجنة –خلال سنوات- قضايا حقوق الإنسان بطرق وصفها بعض المعلقين بغير المرضية والأكثر عقما، على إثر ذلك تم إنشاء الهيئة الجديدة باسم "مجلس حقوق الإنسان" بقرار الجمعية العامة رقم 251/60 ، وأعتبر أكبر هيئة دولية أنيط لها مسؤولية تعزيز الاحترام العالمي لحقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية للجميع ودون تمييز من أي نوع وبطريقة عادلة ومنصفة. فهل عالجت الآلية الجديدة بتشكيلها المستحدث على نحو كافي نقاط ضعف لجنة حقوق الإنسان؟ وبعبارة أخرى، هل أضاف مجلس حقوق الإنسان منذ إنشائه إلى اليوم قيمة ومساهمة أكبر لحماية وتعزيز حقوق الإنسان ؟
