HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF INTERNATIONAL LAW | 178 5 Rio 2016 Olympics: the exclusion games. e World Cup and Olympics Popular Committee of Rio de Janeiro launches the fourth version of the Mega-Events and Human Rights in Rio de Janeiro Dossier. e rst version, launched in March 2012, outlined a broad picture of human rights violations related to the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, concerning questions of housing, mobility, work, sports, public safety, information, participation and the economy. Unfortunately, three years after that publication, some of those situations have exacerbated. e City of Rio de Janeiro is the stage for several projects, initially aiming at the preparation of the city for the 2014 Wold Cup, and, now, for the 2016 Olympic Games. Developments include new sporting facilities, renovation of existing sporting equipment, infrastructure for urban mobility (modernisation and expansion of the Underground, construction of bus corridors and urban transportation systems, road works and renovations at the International Airport Tom Jobim), and urban restructuring projects. is version of the Dossier brings new and upgraded information covering the following topics: housing, mobility, work, sports, the environment, public safety, gender, children and adolescents, and information and budgeting. Furthermore, it reports the resistance actions of the Popular Committee and alternative proposals for the project of a fully inclusive city, with democracy and social justice, and adds boxes containing several violation cases which illustrate the seriousness of the incidents in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Four questions brought to light by this Dossier, which contradict the ocial discourse of the International Olympic Committee, the federal and state governments and, mainly, Rio de Janeiro’s City Hall, deserve to be especially highlighted and reveal the direction of the ongoing transformations of the city. Firstly, contrary to the discourse of City Hall, which tries to deny and conceal the cause of forced removals that are taking place, this report demonstrates that the removals connected to the Olympics go on aecting or threatening thousands of families, through coercion or institutional violence, gravely violating human rights, especially housing rights. Secondly, the chapter on sports deserves attention, as it was created based on visits to sporting facilities and interviews with athletes, users and activists. In that section, the absence of a sporting legacy that benets the whole city of Rio de Janeiro, democratising the population’s access to sporting equipment, is evident. On the contrary, justied by the Olympics’ discourse, we can see a series of violations associated with the privatisation of public spaces, disrespect 6 7 of environmental legislation, and the closure of sporting facilities used by athletes and the come from the streets and criticise the violation of the right to free protest. population. Some achievements were possible through popular struggle, resistance and mobilisation. e irdly, it is possible to observe the growing militarization of the city, within a aggressive and political articulation of the World Cup and Olympics Committee accomplished results to create racist public safety policy, which aects mainly young black males living in slums and the agendas and actions which gained social visibility in the context of urban social struggles. Still suburbs, who are murdered daily by the police. However, everyone is aected by this fear- there is plenty to do, and the achievements are limited and fragile, in face of the projects imposed based policy through the creation of visible and invisible walls which promote the socio-spatial on the city. is Dossier is an important element in this struggle for the Right to the City, and segregation of the city, and through the growing criminalisation of social movements. more than just denouncing for public authorities and the international community the violation of rights and illegalities perpetrated in the name of private interests against the population, it is Finally, it is worth remarking on the right to information and to the transparency of public an invitation to mobilisation. management. While concealing information, City Hall spreads the idea that public expenses are smaller than private expenses for Rio 2016 Olympics preparations. is report unmasks e violation of rights, especially those of the poorest population, did not start with sporting the fallacy of this claim, and shows that the costs of the Olympics, besides being higher than mega-events but, as demonstrated, became worse. e interventions in the city by large urban those ocially divulged, have a public cost way above the private contribution. Moreover, projects accelerated with exception laws and the directing of voluminous public resources, through public-private partnerships and the concentration of contracts with few large building increasing the scale and reach of this model. companies, one can say that the Olympics represents the transfer of public resources to the private sector, subordinating public interests to market logic. us, when looking at the city’s preparation process for the Olympics, it is possible to assert, disappointingly, Rio 2016 Olympics: the exclusion games! Unfortunately, however, the impacts are not limited to these highlights, but comprise the whole set of topics in this Dossier, involving a mobility project subordinated to real estate interests, is Dossier is also an invitation to popular movements, unions, civil society organisations, the repression of street vendors and prostitutes, and the violation of the rights of children and human rights defenders, and citizens committed to social and environmental justice, to join adolescents. the World Cup and Olympics Popular Committee of Rio de Janeiro in the ght for a dierent project for the city.

  • The Prayer of Jabez by Bruce Wilkingson Lesson V
    1 The Prayer of Jabez By Bruce Wilkingson Lesson V “Keeping The Legacy Safe” “O That You Would Keep Me From Evil” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 9) And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 10) And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. Introduction: 1. A caption read “Sometimes you can afford to come in second. Sometimes you cannot.” a. This was placed under a Roman Gladiator who was in trouble. b. Here is the picture i. The Gladiator has dropped his sword ii. The enraged lion is in mid lunge with his jaws wide iii. The crowd is on their feet watching in horror as the panic-stricken gladiator tries to flee. Note: This is a horrible time to come in second. 2. Jabez had asked for supernatural blessing, influence, and power. a. Many people think that they can jump into any arena with any lion, “and win.” b. Some people with the hand of God upon them might pray “Lord, Keep me through evil,” but not Jabez. i. Jabez prayed “Keep me from evil.” ii. The best way to defeat a roaring lion is to stay out of the arena. 2 iii. Therefore Jabez prayed “Keep me from evil” which was a prayer that is saying: “God, keep me out of the fight.” 3.

  • Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film
    Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film By Kendra Marston A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfilment of the Requirements for a Degree of Master of Arts in Film Victoria University of Wellington 2010 Abstract This thesis proposes to analyse the representation of female adolescence in the contemporary teen makeover film. The study will situate this body of films within the context of the current postfeminist age, which I will argue has bred specific fears both of and for the female adolescent. This thesis will examine the construction of the initial wayward makeover protagonist, paying attention to why she needs to be trained in an idealised gender performance that has as its urgent goal the assurance of heteronormativity and ‘healthy’ sex role power relations. I will also analyse the representation of deviant adolescent female characters in terms of how their particular brand of postfeminist female masquerade masks a power and status-oriented agenda. The behaviour of these characters is shown to impact negatively on the peer group within the film, and is particularly dangerous as it threatens to negate the need for romance. 1 Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgements 3 Introduction 4 Chapter One 23 Chapter Two 62 Chapter Three 86 Chapter Four 112 Conclusion 132 Bibliography 143 Filmography 153 Television Sources 155 Internet Sources 157 2 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Sean Redmond for the time he put in to helping me with this thesis, as well as for the encouragement, support and advice offered. 3 Introduction My Moment of Awakening in the Makeover Moment While watching The Princess Diaries (Garry Marshall, 2001) for the purpose of this research, I became fascinated by the particular tone of its makeover scene.
