PHR believes that respect for human rights is essential for the health and wellbeing of all members of the human family. Since 1986, PHR members have worked to stop torture, disappearances, and political killings by governments and opposition groups and to investigate and expose violations, including: deaths, injuries, and trauma inflicted on civilians during conflicts; suffering and deprivation, including denial of access to health care, caused by ethnic and racial discrimination; mental and physical anguish inflicted on women by abuse; exploitation of children in labor practices; loss of life or limbs from landmines and other indiscriminate weapons; harsh methods of incarceration in prisons and detention centers; and poor health stemming from vast inequalities in societies. PHR also works to protect health professionals who are victims of violations of human rights and to prevent medical complicity in torture and other abuses. As one of the original steering committee members of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, PHR shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. Along with three other organizations, at the request of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa, PHR prepared a report, Human Rights and Health: The Legacy of Apartheid, a review of human rights and ethical violations committed by members of the South African health professions under apartheid. PHR has been at the forefront of integrating human rights and bioethics. Along with the American College of Physicians and other organizations, PHR published Breach of Trust, which analyzed the role of physicians in capital punishment. PHR has also been at the forefront of developing and sponsoring academic courses that integrate bioethics and international human rights at medical schools and schools of public health. About the University of Cape Town The University of Cape Town (UCT) is a leading academic institution in South Africa. Its Health Sciences Faculty has been deeply engaged in addressing human rights in the health sector, including research to promote human rights, sponsoring courses in health and human rights as part of its undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and its own post-apartheid institutional reconciliation process. Through these activities it is actively grappling with key transformation challenges facing training institutions for health professionals in South Africa at present. Along with the Trauma Centre for Survivors of Violence and Torture, the Department of Public Health of UCT, Health Sciences Faculty sponsored the Health and Human Rights Project, which provided technical assistance to South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission in connection with the Commission’s hearings on human rights violations in the health sector. It also prepared a comprehensive review of human rights abuses in the health sector during apartheid, entitled The HHRP Final Submission to the TRC: Professional Accountability in South Africa (1997). The HHRP was instrumental in establishing a regular series in the South African Medical Journal focusing specifically on human rights and health.

Observatory 7925 South Africa Web:www.uct.ac.za/departments/publichealth Preface and Acknowledgements This project grew out of a disturbing trend: Governments and other third parties often demand that health professionals put allegiance to their patients aside, in deference to the demands of these powerful actors — often in a manner that violates patients’ human rights. Although documentation of this ethical and human rights problem, referred to here as the problem of dual loyalty and human rights — has been most thorough in South Africa, it is unfortunately a worldwide phenomenon. However, it is little recognized and rarely discussed. Indeed, in the course of this project we were surprised to see how few materials for guiding professional practice and institutional structures exist, even in organizations where this problem is pervasive, such as the military. The report of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) documenting the complicity of health professionals in the apartheid regime, provides a particularly compelling illustration of the problem. The TRC report, based on hearings about human rights violations in the health sector, showed how health professionals had been complicit or silent in the face of torture as well as active participants in institutionalized racism in health services. The report urged the adoption of effective standards of conduct in situations of potential dual loyalty, as well as institutional arrangements and educational programs to ameliorate the problem. We believe the dual loyalty problem needs the urgent attention of individual health professionals, national and international organizations of health professionals, international standard-setting bodies, governments, and civil society. For that reason, Physicians for Human Rights (USA) and the University of Cape Town Health Sciences Faculty (South Africa) brought together a working group of individuals from the health community experienced in human rights, as well as scholars and practitioners in bioethics, human rights and law, from South Africa and internationally, to address the problem. We are grateful to the Greenwall Foundation for its generous support of this project. The goals of the project are: (1) to identify the problem of dual loyalty and human rights in its many dimensions; (2) develop an approach to the problem that stems from internationally-accepted human rights standards; (3) produce a set of proposed guidelines for health professionals that would apply to all professional practice and a set of specialized guidelines in settings that raise particularly troublesome human rights and ethical issues; and (4) propose institutional arrangements that can help prevent conflicts between a patient’s human rights and state or other powerful interests in the first place. The Working Group convened for a meeting in November, 2000 in Durban, South Africa to review the dimensions of the problem, to take up the role of bioethics in addressing dual loyalty and human rights and, to begin work on appropriate responses. The participants in the Durban meeting are listed below. One product of the conference in Durban

University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. Yves Congar’s theology of the laity and ministries is unified on the basis of his adaptation of Christ’s triplex munera to the laity and his specification of ministry as one aspect of the laity’s participation in Christ’s triplex munera. The seminal insight of Congar’s adaptation of the triplex munera is illumined by situating his work within his historical and ecclesiological context. The U.S. reception of Congar’s work on the laity and ministries, however, evinces that Congar’s principle insight has received a mixed reception by Catholic theologians in the United States due to their own historical context as well as their specific constructive theological concerns over the laity’s secularity, or the priority given to lay ministry over the notion of a laity.

  • Dual Loyalty in a Different Key: JFK, Faith, and the Presidency Dr
    Dual Loyalty in a Different Key: JFK, Faith, and the Presidency Dr. Michael A. Helfand Monday, Aug. 16 at 7:00 PM EDT Course Description: What role should personal faith play in the decisions of government officials? In 1960, candidate John F. Kennedy delivered a speech seeking to allay fears that his Catholic faith would somehow impede his ability to serve as president. In so doing, Kennedy provided his own take on how faith and politics can run on separate tracks without influencing each other. But the speech, in many ways, raised more questions than answers. Should politicians adopt Kennedy’s approach and bracket faith off from their civic duties? Or are there alternative approaches to faith that both allow citizens to serve their country and still uphold core constitutional principles protecting the separation of church and state? In revisiting Kennedy’s speech, this class will explore these fundamental questions, thinking about how we as citizens, and as Jews, can respond to this core political challenge. Guiding Questions: 1. What role should religion play in government decision-making? 2. Should people of faith serve as government officials? Why? 3. Does faith enhance or undermine democratic norms? Why? “JFK’s Speech on His Religion” John F. Kennedy Watch the speech here: youtube.com/watch?v=zo5OwuryDfo 12 September 1960 Rev. Meza, Rev. Reck, I'm grateful for your generous invitation to speak my views. While the so-called religious issue is necessarily and properly the chief topic here tonight, I want to emphasize from the outset that we have far more critical issues to face in the 1960 election: the spread of Communist influence, until it now festers 90 miles off the coast of Florida; the humiliating treatment of our president and vice president by those who no longer respect our power; the hungry 1 of 4 tikvahonlineacademy.org/ children I saw in West Virginia; the old people who cannot pay their doctor bills; the families forced to give up their farms; an America with too many slums, with too few schools, and too late to the moon and outer space.

  • Analyzing the Jones Address | The
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 1652 Substance beyond the Humor: Analyzing the Jones Address by Robert Satloff Apr 27, 2010 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Robert Satloff Robert Satloff is executive director of The Washington Institute, a post he assumed in January 1993. Brief Analysis he tempest in a teapot about Gen. James L. Jones's opening joke in his address to The Washington Institute's T twenty-fifth anniversary symposium last week diverted attention from the truly newsworthy aspects of the national security advisor's remarks. On five key issues, he made important, substantive, and at times innovative statements of policy. Given the political and strategic timing of his remarks, they should be viewed as one of the most significant statements of administration policy on Middle East issues this year. National Security Strategy In a passage totally overlooked by the media, General Jones gave the first glimpse into the new National Security Strategy (NSS) that he said will be unveiled in the coming weeks. This document, which transcends Middle East issues, concretizes the overall foreign policy approach of an administration and usually reflects the thrust of a president's approach to international security. In his remarks, General Jones said the new NSS would be based on four pillars: Security -- "We have an enduring interest in the security of the United States, our citizens, and U.S. allies and partners." Prosperity -- "We have an enduring interest in a strong, innovative, and growing U.S. economy in an open international economic system that promotes opportunity and prosperity." Values -- "We have an enduring interest in upholding universal values, at home and around the world." International order -- "We have an enduring interest in an international order advanced by U.S.

PHALEN Dissertation director: James Livingston This dissertation will examine the attitude of American Evangelical Protestantism towards immigration to the United States from its inception until the Immigration Act of 1924. It will also take into consideration the effect that the Roman Catholic Church had upon the evangelist’s thinking on the subject of immigration. The examination will include the formation of the evangelist’s ideas during the American antebellum period when evangelism became a primary part of the Protestant ethos. The dissertation’s chapters will outline the effect that this basically non- Protestant immigration had on American: cities, politics, and education. It will also deal with the evangelist’s chief adversary, the Irish and their control of the American Catholic Church as well as their control of politics in the large urban areas of the Northeast. Chapter four will take the reader through one of the evangelist’s primary organizations for recognizing and combating its problems, the Evangelical Alliance.

Putin's Chosen People: Theories of Russian Jewish Policy, 2000-2017 Abstract Despite support from and for right-wing elements and a deep-seeded national history of anti-Semitism, the policies of the Russian government under Vladimir Putin have been markedly devoid of anti-Semitism. Appeals to nationalist, imperialist, and Eurasianist ideologies, pragmatic politics, and foreign policy concerns fail to explain these policies adequately. The biography of Putin himself, which includes influential, positive relationships with Jews, provides a better explanation. The personalized influence of the president on Jewish policy suggests a personalized, hyper-centralized regime generally. Keywords anti-Semitism, Jews, Russia, Putin,

  • Theatre of Truth: Performing Public Religious Disputation in Seventeenth-Century Europe
    Theatre of Truth: Performing Public Religious Disputation in Seventeenth-Century Europe by David Lorne Robinson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Degree History University of Toronto © Copyright by David Lorne Robinson 2020 Theatre of Truth: Performing Public Religious Disputation in Seventeenth-Century Europe David Lorne Robinson Doctor of Philosophy History University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines the practice of public religious disputation in early seventeenth- century Europe. It takes a transnational approach, examining disputations in France, England, and the Low Countries between 1598 and 1625. This approach highlights the ways in which common social and political circumstances created a climate for frequent disputations, but also how religious controversy was communicated across political boundaries. It argues that these debates were part of a wider culture of performance and became especially prevalent in religiously-divided communities where performances of religious unity like Corpus Christi processions had become contested. These disputations took the practice of academic disputation, still well regarded by both Catholics and Protestants as an effective method of inquiry, and relocated it in the homes of lay hosts. The lay audience thereby became active participants in the performance, debating clergy and performing their own religious identity. Disputations then became the subject of a more public debate as rumours about them spread and clerics exploited oral and manuscript communications networks and printing presses to vaunt their victories and denigrate their opponents, making use of negative stereotypes to solidify religious divisions. State actors, seeing the utility of disputation in shaping public opinion, also sought to organize disputations in an effort to legitimize their religious policies.
