| Title | TRIGGERING STATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS PERPETRATED BY PRIVATE ACTORS IN REGIONAL AND UNIVERSAL SYSTEMS |
| Summary | The thesis analyzes how the responsibility of the State can be triggered by violations of norms contained in international human rights treaties when such perpetrations are committed by private or non-State actors. The thesis analyzes some of the most common scenarions in which human rights are violated by private parties: multinational corporations; guerrillas and insurgent groups; women's rights; and racial discrimination. After this, all three regional systems (European, Inter-American and African) are examined, as well as most of the UN Treaty Bodies (HRC, CAT, CERD, CEDAW, CESCR and CRC). The last chapter discusses the recent decision of the International Court of Justice in the Genocide Case, in what regards the issue of the international responsibility of Serbia under the Genocide Convention by actions perpetrated by a non-State actor in the conflict. |
