We joined a group of organisations led by Unia and the Combat Poverty Service in filing a collective complaint against Belgium for making essential services inaccessible to people unable to use digital devices. The complaint was filed with the European Committee of Social Rights, which oversees States' compliance with the European Social Charter. What is...

!humanrights@crazypeople.online is a SAFE place to discuss human rights and related laws.

Related: !humanrights@lemmy.sdf.org (but down votes → less safe)

Loosely related: !Law@europe.pub, !juridisch@feddit.nl, !law@civilloquy.com, !law_us@lemmy.sdf.org, !legaladvice@feddit.uk, !legaladviceuk@feddit.uk, !uklaw@feddit.uk

Human rights law comes from many sources. E.g:

  • 1948 (UDHR) Universal Declaration of Human Rights
  • 1950 (ECHR) European Convention on Human Rights
  • 1953 (CPHRFF) Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms
  • 1976 (CCPR) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
  • 1976 (CESCR) International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights
  • 2016 (CFREU) Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU

One important factor that makes this forum a safe structure is that silent down votes are impossible. Rationale:

  1. Down votes are a form of suppression.
  2. Silent down votes are uncivil and antithetical to human rights because they deny the other person the dignity of understanding.

How to express your urge to down vote: post a civil criticism that avoids logical fallacy (ad hominems in particular). Or up-vote an existing civil post that captures your criticism.

Moderation:

The moderator has a hands-off moderation style generally. However, human rights matters in a place calling itself “safe” calls for an extra degree of civility, thus uncivil posts will likely be more prone to mod intervention than other forums under the same moderation team (a team of 1 ATM).
