Multi-level governance of Arctic marine plastic pollution: effectiveness and enhancement approaches

Jiajia Zhang, Xinqi Yan

Marine plastic pollution (MPP) poses a significant threat to the sustainable development of the Arctic. In response, a multi-level governance framework has emerged across global, regional, and national dimensions. At the global level, international agreements such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), and the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) provide foundational regulatory frameworks for marine plastic pollution governance. Regionally, the Arctic Council plays a pivotal role by leveraging initiatives such as the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME) and the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP). These mechanisms serve to integrate Arctic issues into the global agenda while facilitating knowledge sharing and implementing tailored action plans. Nationally, the eight Arctic states interact with both global and regional governance regimes, participating in collaborative efforts to mitigate marine plastic pollution. However, the effectiveness of multi-level governance of Arctic marine plastic pollution is constrained by regime robustness and state capacity. To more effectively tackle marine plastic pollution in the Arctic, it is imperative to integrate Arctic concerns into global governance agendas, actively build a multidimensional governance framework at the regional level, and enhance the Arctic states’ willingness and capacity—with attention to the contributions and demands of Indigenous communities regarding this issue.

WELL-BEING AND SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS: EVIDENCE FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION

Emiliano COLANTONIO, Ramona SIMUT

Since 2013, March 20 has been recognized as World Happiness Day by the United Nations, emphasizing the significance of well-being beyond purely economic considerations. While traditional economic and social indicators provide valuable insights, a comprehensive approach to measuring happiness requires a broader set of socioeconomic variables. However, many existing studies overlook endogeneity issues in panel data analysis. This study addresses this gap by employing a Panel Vector Autoregressive model, which treats all variables as endogenous, allowing for the identification of bidirectional relationships, path dependencies, and potential virtuous circles. Economic factors remain central to well-being, with numerous studies confirming a positive correlation between happiness and GDP per capita. Furthermore, governance quality plays a crucial role, encompassing democratic participation, freedom of expression, government effectiveness, the rule of law, and corruption control, all of which contribute to overall life satisfaction. Beyond economic and governance aspects, environmental sustainability has emerged as a critical determinant of happiness, particularly in developed nations. Climate change and environmental degradation have severe socioeconomic consequences that negatively impact well-being. Additionally, cultural factors such as gender equality, could significantly influence happiness by fostering economic growth and social stability. This study conducts an empirical analysis using panel data from 27 EU countries spanning the years 2011 to 2023, offering new insights into the determinants of well-being and their policy implications. The analysis reveals that both well-being and GDP are pathdependent, with rising GDP contributing to greater happiness. Institutional quality enhances both life satisfaction and economic development, while lower CO₂ emissions similarly exert a positive effect on both outcomes. Institutional quality and environmental factors are closely interlinked: improved governance helps reduce emissions, while increasing emissions can prompt institutional responses. An enhancement in overall life satisfaction—frequently associated with increased job fulfilment and higher productivity—tends to exert a positive influence on average per capita income. Higher gender inequality diminishes happiness. Gender equality is also associated with lower emissions, suggesting that greater female participation supports sustainable development. However, some findings are unexpected: GDP growth does not necessarily lead to reduced emissions or improved institutional quality, and stronger institutions do not directly alleviate gender inequality. These complexities highlight the 16 need for further research that accounts for contextual factors, time lags, and sample heterogeneity.

Legal Regulation of Counteracting Cyber Risks in the Marine Space of the Caspian Region within the Framework of Ensuring Regional Security

T. V. Goverdovskaya, L. M. Starkova

INTRODUCTION. Today, the international community recognizes the multidimensional and complex nature of the concept of «international security» and calls for the cooperation of states in this field. It seems that the development and implementation of such mechanisms should start with small regional groups, and then, by identifying the most effective models, they can be implemented universally. The Caspian region is an example of such regional efforts to strengthen security. The authors research the main aspects of regional security. It is the cyber security aspect. The authors propose the idea of creating a cyber incident management center in the maritime space of the Caspian region. The aim of the paper is to confirm the hypothesis of the need to develop a legal framework for the implementation of a cyber risk prevention and management system in the Caspian region as a mandatory part of the system of regional security.MATERIAL AND METHODS. To achieve the stated goal, the authors' team solved a number of scientific tasks, among which is a brief analysis of UN legal acts justifying the fact of international security complexity and regional and international security interdependence. Then, review of the Caspian States' treaty framework for regional security and peaceful cooperation in various fields. The review of IMO acts on maritime and marine cybersecurity was an important step towards achieving this goal. Apart from the traditional general-science methods of research, the authors mainly used the method of doctrinal interpretation of legal acts, which allowed to justify the possibility of legal regulation and conclusion of a separate protocol.RESEAECH RESULTS. The study resulted in recommendations on the structure and content of the Protocol for the Management of Cyber Risks in the Caspian Sea.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. In the course of a thorough analysis of regional normative sources operating in the designated area within the Caspian region. The authors conclude that it is necessary to adopt an additional protocol on cooperation in the field of maritime safety.

Fiscal control and its role in preventing money laundering through public procurement

Jessica Vivas Roso

Illicit capital is increasingly present in our economies and the owners of such capital need to incorporate it into the market and turn it into legal. Public procurement becomes an appropriate mechanism for this, as the State is the principal purchaser of goods or services and contractor of works in any country, however, allowing the legitimization of illicit capital through public procurement is a dangerous weapon that would encourage the development and increase of illegal activities to the detriment of people’s quality of life, hence the need to identify possible mechanisms for preventing the legitimation of capital that can be used in public procurement and point out what role would be played by fiscal control bodies in this work of prevention.

Spatio-temporal evolution analysis of land use change and landscape ecological risks in rapidly urbanizing areas based on Multi-Situation simulation − a case study of Chengdu Plain

Yali Wei, Peiyun Zhou, Luoqi Zhang et al.

Land use change in emerging nations raises landscape ecological risks (LERS), hastens the deterioration of urban and rural ecosystem services, endangers human well-being, and undermines sustainable development in the face of rapidly increasing urbanization. Here, using the Chengdu Plain as the study area and long time series data from 2000 to 2020, the optimal time span is selected for multi-context spatio-temporal simulation. The land use map of Chengdu Plain in 2025 under the four scenarios of “Natural Development” (ND), “Economic Priority Development” (END), “Ecological Priority Development” (ELD), and “Sustainable Development” (SD) was simulated, and the multi-indicator landscape ecological risk index (ERI) was generated to compare and analyze the differences between land use and landscape ecological risk under different policy preferences. Subsequently, the land use data from 2025 to 2040 were simulated, the landscape ecological risk pattern was mapped, and the spatial and temporal evolution analysis from 2010 to 2040 was conducted to explore the spatial evolution law of land use change and landscape ecological risk. Based on the results, the high ecological risk aggregation areas are prone to appear in END scenarios, whereas medium-ecological risk aggregation areas are more likely to appear in ELD scenarios, and the government should focus its policy on arable land protection. Moreover, the land use pattern of cultivated land surrounding construction land and forested land surrounding cultivated land, caused by the irrational single-core development pattern and the policy of returning farmland to forests, has exacerbated the landscape ecological risk of the Chengdu Plain, constituting a unique landscape ecological risk pattern. It’s also important to remember that the Chengdu Plain’s less economically developed regions need to focus on the high-quality development of ecological land use. We adopted high-precision simulation methods to simulate the complex land use changes in rapidly urbanizing areas and explored the spatial evolution law and causes of landscape ecological risk evolution in the context of land use changes, with the intention of offering a solid theoretical foundation for such areas’ future planning in developing nations.

Crise na teoria da separação de poderes e instituições híbridas no contexto do constitucionalismo latino-americano: o papel institucional da Oficina Anticorrupção da Argentina

Carina Barbosa Gouvêa, Pedro H. Villas Bôas Castelo Branco, Eduardo Vasconcelos da Silva Junior

As transformações constitucionais no constitucionalismo latino-americano estão marcadas pela coexistência de estruturas hiperpresidencialistas com o surgimento de instituições responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento de melhores práticas de governança democrática em um contexto de crise na teoria da separação dos poderes. O desenho institucional da Argentina no combate à corrupção fornece um caso paradigmático no qual a concentração de poder no Executivo se choca com a atuação fiscalizadora da Oficina Anticorrupção, razão pela qual realizou-se o estudo de caso dessa interação institucional. Para tal análise, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida em fases distintas. Na primeira etapa, a abordagem utilizada foi a crítica-analítica e estrutural, explorando o campo teórico-abstrato a partir do método comparativo. Na segunda etapa, realizou-se a investigação empírica da Oficina Anticorrupção, avaliando o desempenho da instituição na dinâmica do sistema político argentino. Por fim, a partir das avaliações obtidas, indicou-se caminhos institucionais para reestruturar a Oficina Anticorrupção de modo a impactar a sua atuação e elevá-la ao patamar de instituição híbrida de acordo com as premissas propostas. Dentre os resultados alcançados, destaca-se que a Oficina Anticorrupção, por sua estrutura, não se encontra alinhada aos pressupostos de autonomia, independência, transparência e eficácia elementares às instituições híbridas, sendo necessárias reformas.

Cyber Security Threats to Iran and its Countermeasures: Defensive and Offensive Cyber Strategies

Syed Qandil Abbas, Hareem Fatima

Iran's convoluted geopolitical status, its centrality to locale-specific wars, plus the shifting balance of the global order make cyber security a key issue worldwide in addition to traditional security challenges. Iran is an appealing target for cyber enemies due to its numerous security vulnerabilities, which include ransomware infection, scams, as well as complicated malware. Iran has taken a flexible stance, via collaboration, authorized, and intellectual tactics to counter these concerns. Forming cyber security teams, utilizing the latest innovations, and hiring competent employees are all examples of efforts in cyber defense. Legislative structures are essential for bringing criminals before the law and discouraging unlawful behaviour, but the dynamic nature of cyber threats makes it difficult to update rules. The goal is to keep information security and safety measures under check. The identification and mitigation of cyber dangers necessitate collaboration with various nations, global organizations, and corporations. Iran's cyberspace involvement shapes societal sentiment and upholds the will of the people, with both advantageous and hazardous repercussions. To bolster its application and balance its powerful adversaries, it employs cyber assaults in conjunction with conventional asymmetrical combat strategies. What is Iran's main cyber security concerns and challenges, and how is Iran addressing as well as tackling them, is the question that this study aims to answer.

A revisit of the circular law

Zhidong Bai, Jiang Hu

Consider a complex random $n\times n$ matrix ${\bf X}_n=(x_{ij})_{n\times n}$, whose entries $x_{ij}$ are independent random variables with zero means and unit variances. It is well-known that Tao and Vu (Ann Probab 38: 2023-2065, 2010) resolved the circular law conjecture, establishing that if the $x_{ij}$'s are independent and identically distributed random variables with zero mean and unit variance, the empirical spectral distribution of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}{\bf X}_n$ converges almost surely to the uniform distribution over the unit disk in the complex plane as $n \to \infty$. This paper demonstrates that the circular law still holds under the more general Lindeberg's condition: $$ \frac1{n^2}\sum_{i,j=1}^n\mathbb{E}|x_{ij}^2|I(|x_{ij}|>η\sqrt{n})\to 0,\mbox{as $n \to \infty$}. $$ This paper is a revisit of the proof procedure of the circular law by Bai in (Ann Probab 25: 494-529, 1997). The key breakthroughs in the paper are establishing a general strong law of large numbers under Lindeberg's condition and the uniform upper bound for the integral with respect to the smallest eigenvalues of random matrices. These advancements significantly streamline and clarify the proof of the circular law, offering a more direct and simplified approach than other existing methodologies.

Asymptotic Burnside laws

Gil Goffer, Be'eri Greenfeld, Alexander Yu. Olshanskii

We construct novel examples of finitely generated groups that exhibit seemingly-contradicting probabilistic behaviors with respect to Burnside laws. We construct a finitely generated group that satisfies a Burnside law, namely a law of the form $x^n=1$, with limit probability 1 with respect to uniform measures on balls in its Cayley graph and under every lazy non-degenerate random walk, while containing a free subgroup. We show that the limit probability of satisfying a Burnside law is highly sensitive to the choice of generating set, by providing a group for which this probability is $0$ for one generating set and $1$ for another. Furthermore, we construct groups that satisfy Burnside laws of two co-prime exponents with probability 1. Finally, we present a finitely generated group for which every real number in the interval $[0,1]$ appears as a partial limit of the probability sequence of Burnside law satisfaction, both for uniform measures on Cayley balls and for random walks. Our results resolve several open questions posed by Amir, Blachar, Gerasimova, and Kozma. The techniques employed in this work draw upon geometric analysis of relations in groups, information-theoretic coding theory on groups, and combinatorial and probabilistic methods.

THE POTENTIAL FOR RESILIENCE AND RECOVERY IN THE CREATIVE SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY OF UKRAINE

Владислава Олегівна Бакальчук

The article analyzes possible opportunities of the creative economy in ensuring the stability and restoration of Ukraine, in particular its economic and human potential. Based on the analysis of the creative economy during the crisis of 2022, the author concludes that domestic creative industries provide a significant resource of stability, flexibility, and the potential for sustainable post-crisis recovery. The national creative sector has become a tool for international cultural diplomacy, consolidation, and cooperation to ensure the stability of the Ukrainian state in the face of Russian aggression. The article reveals potential opportunities for the development of the creative economy to ensure sustainable economic growth and social inclusion in the policy of recovery of Ukrainian cities, in particular, in the industrial regions of eastern Ukraine. The article outlines priority directions for stimulating the development of creative industries at the international, national, and local levels. The priority directions include harmonization of national legislation in the field of intellectual property to the norms of European law, overcoming disparities in the development of certain segments of the creative economy, intensification of inter-municipal cooperation at the level of national and international networks of creative cities, implementation of social inclusion programs and recovery of human potential in the creative sector. The author argues that the inclusion of the creative economy in the policy of ensuring sustainability and post-war recovery of Ukraine will correspond to the global trends of the post-industrial economy and the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development. The further development of the policy of stimulating the development of creative industries will contribute to the strengthening of the competitiveness of the national economy as a whole and the use of the potential of the national culture to ensure the sustainable inclusive development of the Ukrainian state.

Proper Interpretation of Heaps' and Zipf's Laws

Kim Chol-jun

We checked that the distribution of words in text should uniform, which gives Heaps' law as natural result, that is, the number of types of words can be expressed as a power law of the number of tokens within text. We developed a ``superposition'' model, which leads to an asymptotic power-law distribution of the number of occurrences (or frequency) of words, that is, Zipf's law. The model is well consistent with observations.

THE ROLE OF NON-LETHAL WEAPONS IN PUBLIC SECURITY

Erdem Eren Demir, Mehmet Ali Tekiner, Aybüke A. İsbir Turan

After World War II, “human rights” became a very vital issue all over the world, and with the publication of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations at the end of 1948, the subject gained an international status. In this context, the level of power to be applied by law enforcement officers in preventing the incidents and the equipment they use have started to be discussed. Equipment called “non-lethal weapons - NLW” began to be used in mass actions to end the incidents by causing less harm to both activists and third parties who were not involved in the action. The primary purpose of using NLWs is to minimize the severe human consequences during the intervention process to deter individuals from participating in the actions and to minimize the damage. Although it is called a non-lethal weapon, some negative consequences can be encountered due to the wrong or disproportionate use of this equipment, which can undermine the trust of citizens, who are not directly related to the events, in the state and naturally, the law enforcement forces, and the countries’ prestige can lose. For this reason, it is necessary to know and teach the issues needed to effectively use non-lethal weapons that give new capabilities to law enforcement officers. This study aims to examine the non-lethal weapons used by law enforcement officers to investigate the legal regulations on these weapons and their ammunition at the international and national level and to provide basic information on the types of NLW and their use. The scarcity of academic studies on non-lethal weapons in the national literature increases the importance of this study. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the main way of harming people and the environment as little as possible in the process of intervention in social events is the conscious use of NLWs by law enforcement officials.

On Unbiased Estimation for Discretized Models

Jeremy Heng, Ajay Jasra, Kody J. H. Law et al.

In this article, we consider computing expectations w.r.t. probability measures which are subject to discretization error. Examples include partially observed diffusion processes or inverse problems, where one may have to discretize time and/or space, in order to practically work with the probability of interest. Given access only to these discretizations, we consider the construction of unbiased Monte Carlo estimators of expectations w.r.t. such target probability distributions. It is shown how to obtain such estimators using a novel adaptation of randomization schemes and Markov simulation methods. Under appropriate assumptions, these estimators possess finite variance and finite expected cost. There are two important consequences of this approach: (i) unbiased inference is achieved at the canonical complexity rate, and (ii) the resulting estimators can be generated independently, thereby allowing strong scaling to arbitrarily many parallel processors. Several algorithms are presented, and applied to some examples of Bayesian inference problems, with both simulated and real observed data.

The ‘Dogma of the Independence of Nations’: Nationality as the Basis of the 1919 International Legal Order

Francesca Zantedeschi

In 1851, in his famous lecture Della nazionalità come fondamento del diritto delle genti, the Italian jurist Pasquale Stanislao Mancini (1817-1888) formulated the so-called ‘dogma of the Independence of Nations’ – a fundamental principle of the political ideologies of the Risorgimento. In it, he defined nationality as ‘a natural society of individuals’ based on ‘unity of territory, origins, habits and language, and conformed to a commonality of life and social conscience.’ Although he is well known among scholars of international law, Mancini is far less known among historians. Yet his ‘dogma of the independence of nations’ proved to be fundamental during the 1919 Peace Treaties, when the rights of nationality became the criterion redesigning the map of Europe – nationality being officially attached to the promise of self-determination by President Woodrow Wilson. This article intends to present the principle of nationality advocated by Mancini and how it became the basis of relations between states in international law in the second half of the nineteenth century. It also aims to analyse how the principle of nationality was transposed, formulated and interpreted in the 1919 Peace Treaties to support the rights of national minorities.

The link between magnetic fields and filamentary clouds II: Bimodal linear mass distributions

Chi Yan Law, Hua Bai Li, Pokin Leung

By comparing cumulative linear mass profiles of 12 Gould Belt molecular clouds within 500 pc, we study how the linear mass distributions of molecular clouds vary with the angles between the molecular cloud long axes and the directions of the local magnetic fields (cloud-field direction offsets). We find that molecular clouds with the long axes perpendicular to the magnetic field directions show more even distributions of the linear mass. The result supports that magnetic field orientations can affect the fragmentation of molecular clouds (Li et al. 2017).

ONCE AGAIN THE TERM MA???’ IN ZECHARIAH 9:1; 12:1 AND IN MALACHI 1:1: WHAT IS ITS SIGNIFICANCE?

K W Weyde

The article argues that ma???’ in Zechariah 9:1; 12:1 and in Malachi 1:1 refers to written prophecy. The phrase d?bar yhwh, which follows this term, gives authority to this phenomenon, as do the frequent occurrences of formulas marking divine speech in the Book of Malachi, and to some degree in Zechariah 9-14. In addition, the lack of divine revelation in these materials indicates that prophecy in the old sense of the word changed some time after the prophets Haggai and Zechariah conveyed their message. However, some features of Malachi 1:1, Zechariah 11:4, and Malachi 1:2-5 provide continuity with these prophets and with pre-exilic prophecy (Hos. 12:11, 14; Zech. 7:7; Hag. 1:1, 3; 2:1), as well as with Moses and the law. Ma???’ in Zechariah 9:1; 12:1 and in Malachi 1:1 covers these aspects of prophecy and connects to the oracles concerning the nations in Isaiah 13-23, which are introduced by the same term.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW: PRINCIPLE OF UTI POSSIDETIS JURIS

Farhad Sabir MIRZAYEV

INTRODUCTION. This paper considers the general principles of international law and focusing specifically on the principle of uti possidetis. The author argues that uti possidetis originating from Roman jus civile was transformed into a principle of interstate relations dealing with a transformation of former administrative borders into international boundaries of the newly independent states in Latin America in XX century. The principle’s further effective application in Africa and Asia contributed into uti possidetis’ formation as the principle of international law.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The materials for the article were the works of leading Russian and foreign researchers in the field of international law dedicated to general principles of international law and international customary law. The author referred to historical, comparative and theoretical methods in his analysis.RESEARCH RESULTS. It is argued that uti possidetis as the principle of international law has a primary concern with the state or territorial sovereignty. The paper analyses uti possidetis’ evolution from the regional principle into the general principle of international law. It also deals with the review of cases considered by the International Court of Justice and other international ad hoc tribunals as well as specialised authoritative opinions of specialised international commissions that played a vital role in affirming uti possidetis as one of the general principles of international law.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The author argues that uti possidetis is not similar to the principle of territorial integrity, and in contrast the former serves as auxiliary support to the latter one. The analysis refers to the most recent precedents with dissolution of the former communist federations that simply reconfirmed the importance of uti possidetis as the general principle of international law. It is concluded that the evolution of uti possidetis as the general principle of international law took place under influence of the state practice and application by international judicial bodies.

Comunicado científico: A decisão histórica do STF sobre nome social e a conformidade com o Sistema de Proteção de Direitos Humanos da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos

Miriam Olivia Knopik Ferraz, Carolina Braglia Aloise Bertazolli

O trabalho objetiva estudar o reconhecimento jurídico da mudança do nome social como direito das pessoas trans com enfoque nacional e sua conformidade com os parâmetros internacionais. Primeiramente, estuda-se a delimitação do direito ao nome de forma ampliativa e após, analisa-se o reconhecimento ao direito ao nome social, haja vista a sua necessidade e vinculação a própria noção de existência em sociedade. Posteriormente, analisa-se a Convenção Americana de Direitos Humanos, por ser o instrumento principal de proteção dos direitos humanos, e consequentemente fora estudada a Opinião Consultiva nº 24 emitida pela Corte a respeito ao direito ao nome social e como deve ser o procedimento de mudança do nome dentro dos países signatários. Em seguida, examina-se a decisão histórica proferida pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal no que tange ao nome social, mudando o paradigma em todo o território brasileiro. Realiza-se um cotejo entre a decisão do STF e a opinião emitida pela CorteIDH para verificar se o Brasil alinhou-se com o órgão internacional competente para decidir sobre. A Corte não proferiu nenhuma decisão no que tange especificamente ao direito à mudança do nome social, tendo emitido outras decisões referentes aos direitos das pessoas LGBT. Através da competência consultiva atribuída à Corte, fora requerida a Opinião Consultiva nº 24 pela Costa Rica para tratar especificamente do direito à mudança do nome e qual seria o procedimento adequado a todos os Estados. O direito ao nome faz parte da dignidade da pessoa humana, especialmente porque é a forma como a pessoa se apresenta perante a sociedade. Esta dimensão do direito ao nome é fundamental para as pessoas trans, pois é como elas se identificarão para o mundo. Desta forma, o pronunciamento da Corte fora fundamental para unificar no sistema interamericano a proteção do nome social. Observou-se na presente pesquisa o avanço representado pela decisão paradigmática do Supremo Tribunal Federal brasileiro para o reconhecimento do nome social para as pessoas trans. Ao realizar a análise comparativa com a opinião emitida pela CorteIDH, observou-se que esta realiza fundamentações mais ampliativas sobre a questão do nome, enquanto a decisão brasileira ainda permanece propondo requisitos, como prova testemunhal, análise que será realizada pelo julgador. Denota-se que foram realizadas significativas mudanças, mas ainda, em questão de fundamentação e entendimento global da questão de gênero e reconhecimento, a decisão brasileira carece de aprofundamentos. O reconhecimento do nome social sem os requisitos da realização de cirurgia é um grande passo para a efetivação da dignidade das pessoas envolvidas. A decisão prolatada pelo STF é paradigmática por quebrar uma estipulação que permitia que diversas pessoas não pudessem alcançar esse direito. Entretanto, em análise dialógica com as decisões e opiniões consultivas da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, observa-se que ainda há muito que se aprofundar nas questões de desenvolvimento e entendimentos de teorias de gênero e reconhecimento. Conclui-se que este é um marco para uma construção social de direitos, mas que o sistema brasileiro ainda carece de adaptações às atuais tendências protetivas de direitos humanos, espelhadas na corte interamericana de direitos humanos.
