Abstract

Tema rada bila je istraživanje ljudskih prava žena u neliberalnim i liberalnim zemljama. Nastojalo se ukazati na loš položaj ženskih ljudskih prava u tradicionalnim zajednicama gdje pretežito dominiraju stariji muškarci i kulturni običaji poput ženskog genitalnog sakaćenja. Koristeći liberalno-feminističku perspektivu, rad zaključuje po uzoru na Marthu Nussbaum kako ova promjena mora biti internalizirana i raspravlja o legitimnosti nametanja sustava vrijednosti, potencijalnom duplom standardu i legitimnosti međunarodne intervencije u širem smislu. Rad također raspravlja o položaju doseljenika unutar liberalnih demokracija i pokušaj rješavanja njihovih zahtjeva za kulturnim pravima. Predmet istraživanja bio je žensko genitalno sakaćenje kao teška povreda ljudskih prava, koji ukazuje na problematiku nedovoljno jasno specificiranih prava žena unutar međunarodnopravnog okvira i njegove primjene. Glavni zaključci tiču se kako bi liberalizam mogao proširiti svoj kut gledanja i više uvrstiti pitanje kulture u javnom prostoru nasuprot isključivo privatnoj sferi. Zaključak je također kako određena ljudska prava žena moraju biti zadovoljena u svrhu pravednosti te rad djelomično počiva na teorijama pravednosti uz praktične implikacije. Odgovor na istraživačko pitanje glasi kako je ovaj običaj povreda ženskog ljudskog prava na tjelesnu autonomiju, što još uvijek nije uvršteno u Opću deklaraciju o ljudskim pravima.

Abstract (english)

The topic of the paper was the research of women's human rights in iliberal and liberal countries. An effort was made to point out the poor position of women's human rights in traditional communities where older men and cultural customs such as female genital mutilation predominate. Using a liberal-feminist perspective, the paper concludes, following the example of Martha Nussbaum, that this change must be internalized and discusses the legitimacy of imposing a value system, a potential double standard, and the legitimacy of international intervention in a broader sense. The paper also discusses the position of immigrants within liberal democracies and attempts to address their demands for cultural rights. The subject of the research was female genital mutilation as a serious violation of human rights, which points to the problem of insufficiently clearly specified rights of women within the international legal framework and its application. The main conclusions concern how liberalism could broaden its point of view and include more the issue of culture in the public space as opposed to the exclusively private sphere. The conclusion is also that certain human rights of women must be satisfied for the purpose of justice, and the work is partly based on theories of justice with practical implications. The answer to the research question is that this custom is a violation of women's human right to bodily autonomy, which is still not included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
