Lire l'article en ligne sur le site du Wall Street Journal. From manicures to blowouts, opportunities for preening before a flight are really taking off at airports around the world Stacey Neumann was strolling past a beauty counter last year when she decided to have her brows done.
After a quick waxing and tweezing, she emerged tidied up and ready to go-straight to the gate, to board her flight. Aside from the hordes of fliers passing by, the grooming experience was the same one that Benefit Cosmetics, a San Francisco makeup brand, offers at its traditional locations. As they transition from transportation hubs to full-on shopping malls with chic boutiques, name-brand retailers and restaurants affiliated with celebrity chefs, more airports also are welcoming spa and salon businesses that help passengers glam up, too.
The newest on-the-fly beauty services go well beyond the typical chair massage. Travelers at Chicago O'Hare can choose a walk-in or pre-booked "back facial" an upper-back acne treatment at the recently renovated Terminal Getaway Spa. Meanwhile, men seeking old-school pampering can pop into the two-year-old barbershop at Buffalo Niagara International Airport for a hot-towel shave and a few minutes in the massage chair. Not exotic enough for you? Try a fish pedicure at Wellness Oasis at Singapore's Changi Airport, which involves plunging one's feet into a pool full of callous-munching fish.
Or, if you decide your bikini line needs immediate tending, " We're ready, and the wax is hot ," said Adeline Moya, vice president of business development at Be Relax, a French chain with 38 locations world-wide including airports in North America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia its name is a slightly awkward translation of a French idiom.
Beauty is just the latest development in the continuing evolution of airports that began after the September 11, , terrorist attacks, when heightened security measures required travelers to arrive much earlier than they had before. After the security logjam comes the seemingly endless wait known in airport-speak as "dwell time," a perfect opportunity for businesses to find profitable ways to amuse their concourse captives.

Il avait pour titre "Les dimensions internationales de la Voie Prachanda". Cela n'avait rien d'anormal non plus. Naturellement, Prachanda ne sera pas content de l'article cette fois-ci. A l'inverse, Prachanda affirme que le marxisme est devenu un sujet de connaissance commune pour lui. Mao dit que "un se divise en deux" est la loi de la dialectique. Ceci est absolument correct. Ainsi, non pas les camarades Azad et Kishenji, mais Jyoti Basu et Manmohan Singh [premier ministre indien] sont devenus les camarades internationaux fraternels de Prachanda.
Dans une interview, il dit: Le pays va vers la sikkimisation. Non, pas du tout. Quel est cet argument ridicule? Mentir aussi a ses limites. Que chacun de nous s'y emploie. Ce sont les questions sur lesquelles nous devons nous concentrer. Comment cela a-t-il pu arriver? Nous nous centrerons donc principalement sur des questions comme: C'est la vie d'un Parti communiste.
La base philosophique d'un Parti communiste est le marxisme. Ce sont les questions fondamentales du marxisme. C'est ce qui constitue la distinction la plus profonde entre le marxiste et l'ordinaire petit aussi bien que grand bourgeois. C'est de la capitulation nationale. C'est du capitulationnisme de classe ouvert Dans ce document il est dit: Il n'est donc plus la peine de discuter.

Quels sont les limites, les obstacles? La question, au regard des faits et au regard de l'histoire du MCI, est qu'ils ne peuvent plus cohabiter avec Bhattarai, Prachanda et leurs partisans. On a vraiment l'impression d'une grande peur de la rupture sauf ci-dessus chez Biplab. On peut craindre que s'il y en a trop peu, Kiran et Gaurav n'osent pas la scission minoritaire Peut-on dire que "nous n'avons rien vu venir"? Il faut comprendre une chose: The Charter of the United Nations, signed on 26 June , reflected this belief.
The Charter states that the fundamental objective of the United Nations is "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" and "to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women". The UDHR is undoubtedly ground breaking and continues to serve as the most important global human rights instrument.

Although not setting out to be legally binding, the UDHR has served as the inspiration behind numerous commitments to human rights, whether at the national, regional or international level. Since then, a series of key instruments to safeguard its principles have also been drawn up and agreed by the international community.
More information on some of these international treaties can be found further down in this chapter. Following the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, several regions of the world have established their own systems for protecting human rights, which exist alongside that of the UN. To date, there are regional human rights institutions in Europe, the Americas and Africa.
However, most countries in this part of the world have also ratified the major UN treaties and conventions - thereby signifying their agreement with the general principles, and voluntarily becoming bound by international human rights law. In Europe, various human rights standards and mechanisms are upheld by the Council of Europe, the continent's human rights watchdog.
Its role, notably through the European Convention and the European Court on Human Rights, will be further elaborated below. The European Union's commitment to human rights protection received a boost with the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on 1 December , giving full legal effect to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
Containing civil, political, social and economic rights, the Charter requires that both member states and the European Union itself uphold these rights. The Court of Justice of the European Union will strike down EU legislation that contravenes the Charter and will review compliance with EU law of member states, although the day-to-day enforcement will be decided by domestic courts. The Fundamental Rights Agency FRA is an expert body which collects evidence about the situation of fundamental rights across the European Union and provides advice and information about how to improve the situation.
It does not play a monitoring role but co-operates with relevant institutions in advising on improved enjoyment of fundamental rights. Although not specifically dedicated to the protection of human rights, its comprehensive approach to security allows it to address a wide range of issues, including human rights, national minorities, democratisation, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities.
Based in Warsaw, the ODIHR is active throughout the OSCE area in the fields of election observation, democratic development, human rights, tolerance and non-discrimination, and rule of law. Its activities targeted to young people include human rights education, fighting antisemitism and Islamophobia. Specific instruments have also been adopted relating to refugees, the prevention and punishment of torture, the abolition of the death penalty, disappearances, violence against women, the environment and other matters. The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights came into force in October and by it had been ratified by 53 states.
The Charter is interesting for a number of differences in emphasis between the treaties that have been adopted in other parts of the world:. Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible. Why do you think that duties are referred to in a charter on human rights?
Do you think they should be listed in all human rights documents? The regional Arab Commission on Human Rights has been in operation since , but only with very selective and limited powers regarding the promotion of human rights. This document includes social-economic rights as well as civil-political rights, and also makes reference to the "common civilisation" shared by Arab States. The coming into force of the Charter and its monitoring mechanisms — the Arab Human Rights Committee and the Arab Sub-Commission on Human Rights — have been welcomed as hopeful signs for the advancement of human rights in the region.
However, it has also come under heavy criticism, for example, due to the lack of prohibition for cruel punishment, for guaranteeing economic and social rights only to citizens, for making some rights contingent on the Islamic Sharia, for allowing the imposition of the death penalty on children if the national law provides for this, and also for allowing limitations on freedom of thought, conscience and religion if so provided by law.
Efforts have been under way in the ASEAN region towards ensuring that this regional body fulfil its commitment to the establishment of an Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights. Human rights exist for us all. So how can we make use of them? It is clear that their mere existence is not enough to put an end to human rights violations, since we all know that these are committed every day, in every part of the globe.
So can they really make a difference?

How can we use them? Do you know what to do if your human rights are violated? Values are invisible like the wind. From the flutter of leaves you know there is wind. And you realize values through the actions of people. In the next section we look at the different types of rights that are protected under international law. If we know which areas of human existence are relevant to human rights law and we are aware of the obligations of governments under this body of law, then we can begin to apply pressure in different ways. That section illustrates that almost every area of injustice is relevant to human rights: And the number of issues is increasing even today.
Some of the issues concerning the application of human rights legislation are addressed directly in the section "Questions and Answers". These provide brief responses to some of the more common questions often asked about human rights. If you are concerned to find out how a particular issue — for example, the right to health, to education, or fair working conditions — can be better protected, you will find it helpful to look at the background information relevant to that issue. We shall look at the legal mechanisms that exist for protecting the different areas of people's interests. In Europe — but also in Africa and the Americas, there is a court to deal with complaints about violations — the European Court of Human Rights.
Even where complaints do not fall under the jurisdiction of the European Court, we shall see that there are other mechanisms for holding states accountable for their actions and forcing them to comply with their obligations under human rights law. It helps that the law is there, even if there are not always legal means of enforcing compliance by states. One important role in exerting pressure on states is played by associations, non-governmental organisations, charities, and other civic initiative groups.
This forms the subject matter of the section on activism and the role of NGOs. The role of such associations is particularly relevant to the average man and woman on the street, not only because such associations frequently take up individual cases, but also because they provide a means for the ordinary person to become involved in the protection of human rights of others. After all, such associations are made up of ordinary people! We shall also look at how they act to improve human rights and at some examples of successful action.
Have you ever been involved in any campaigning or human rights activism? In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society. UDHR, Article 29 2. Chapter 3, Taking Action, brings these types of actions down to an everyday level and offers a number of examples of action in which you could become involved.
Youth groups have enormous potential for putting pressure on states or international bodies and ensuring that cases of human rights violations are either prevented or brought to the public eye. The examples in this section should provide you with concrete measures that could be undertaken by your or other groups and will also give a greater insight into the way that non-governmental organisations work at an everyday level. Realising rights means facing a range of obstacles. Firstly, some governments, political parties or candidates, social and economic players and civil society actors use the language of human rights without a commitment to human rights objectives.
At times this may be due to an impoverished understanding of what human rights standards call for. At other times this is due to willful abuse, of wanting to misrepresent themselves as respecting human rights in order to look good in the eyes of the world. Secondly, governments, political parties or candidates or civil society actors may criticise human rights violations by others but fail to uphold human rights standards themselves.
This is often criticised as a double standard. Thirdly, there may be cases when human rights are restricted in the name of protecting the rights of others. These could, of course, be legitimate. Human rights are not boundless, and exerting your rights should not impinge on other's enjoyment of their rights.
An active civil society and independent judiciary is important in monitoring such cases. Fourthly, there are instances when protecting the rights of one group of people may, in itself, involve restricting the rights of others. This should be distinguished from the above case of limiting rights. It is not always easy to judge such cases. However, rights can also conflict.
