Responsabilidade de proteger

Resumo: É na tentativa de conciliar os conceitos de soberania estatal e proteção de direitos humanos, em face a situações de atrozes violações pelos Estados (seja por sua ação direta ou inação na seara protetiva), que a Comissão Internacional sobre Intervenção e Soberania Estatal (ICISS) lança seu relatório, denominado Responsabilidade de Proteger (R2P). Alterando a perspectiva da soberania, para vê-la sobre o prisma da responsabilidade e não mais da força, e passando o enfoque da não intervenção dos Estados para a proteção da população civil, a R2P reúne boa parcela de consenso em âmbito internacional, superando a ideia de intervenções humanitárias, tão controversas em si mesma. Este trabalho visa analisar a construção da R2P, sua aceitação pela ONU e seus países membros e suas evoluções posteriores. Será feita, ainda, breve análise dos casos da Líbia e da Síria, diante da ótica da R2P, e da nova posição brasileira sobre a Responsabilidade ao Proteger (RwP

Do acesso à justiça pleno do brasileiro perante a corte interamericana de Direitos Humanos

Using bibliographic research methods, this study will demonstrate how indivuals, especially Brazilians, do not have full access to justice in Interamerican Court of Human Rights because they are not legitimize to address a formal petition direct to the Court, which constitute as an obstacle to the protection an effectiveness of Human Rights, and can generate discontent and injustice feeling. This article proposes, by the end, an evolution to the American Regional System of Human Rights Protection, able to provide this lack of legitimation, inspired with the European System.Através da metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com método indutivo, o presente artigo verificará a impossibilidade dos indivíduos, principalmente dos brasileiros, de ter o pleno acesso à justiça perante o Sistema Regional Americano de Proteção aos Direitos Humanos ante o impedimento de peticionamento direto e representação própria perante a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, o que constitui um obstáculo na proteção e efetivação dos próprios Direitos Humanos per se à eles consagrados, capaz de gerar o sentimento de insatisfação e injustiça, propondo-se, ao final, a evolução do Sistema, inspirado no Europeu como modelo, capaz de suprir essa falta de legitimação.Através da metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com método indutivo, o presente artigo verificará a impossibilidade dos indivíduos, principalmente dos brasileiros, de ter o pleno acesso à justiça perante o Sistema Regional Americano de Proteção aos Direitos Humanos ante o impedimento de peticionamento direto e representação própria perante a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, o que constitui um obstáculo na proteção e efetivação dos próprios Direitos Humanos per se à eles consagrados, capaz de gerar o sentimento de insatisfação e injustiça, propondo-se, ao final, a evolução do Sistema, inspirado no Europeu como modelo, capaz de suprir essa falta de legitimação

Imaging spectroscopic performances for a Si based detection system

We present the imaging and spectroscopic capabilities of a system based on a single photon counting chip (PCC) bump-bonded on a Si pixel detector. The system measures the energy spectrum and the flux, produced by a standard mammographic tube. We have also made some images of low contrast details, achieving good results

Recent studies of heavy ion transfer reactions using large solid angle spectrometers

We present selected results recently obtained in the study of heavy ion transfer reactions at energies close to the Coulomb barrier by employing the large solid angle magnetic spectrometer PRISMA. We discuss the production of neutron-rich heavy nuclei via multinucleon transfer processes and the related effects of secondary processes, in particular nucleon evaporation, studied in a high resolution kinematic coincidence experiment. We also present the recent results in the studies of neutron-neutron correlations for closed shell and superfluid systems

Favourable ten-year overall survival in a Caucasian population with high probability of hereditary breast cancer

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The purpose of our study was to compare differences in the prognosis of breast cancer (BC) patients at high (H) risk or intermediate slightly (IS) increased risk based on family history and those without a family history of BC, and to evaluate whether ten-year overall survival can be considered a good indicator of <it>BRCA1 </it>gene mutation.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We classified 5923 breast cancer patients registered between 1988 and 2006 at the Department of Oncology and Haematology in Modena, Italy, into one of three different risk categories according to Modena criteria. One thousand eleven patients at H and IS increased risk were tested for <it>BRCA1/2 </it>mutations. The overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) were the study end-points.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Eighty <it>BRCA1 </it>carriers were identified. A statistically significantly better prognosis was observed for patients belonging to the H risk category with respect to women in the IS and sporadic groups (82% vs.75% vs.73%, respectively; p < 0.0001). Comparing only <it>BRCA1 </it>carriers with <it>BRCA-</it>negative and sporadic BC (77% vs.77% vs.73%, respectively; p < 0.001) an advantage in OS was seen.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Patients belonging to a population with a high probability of being <it>BRCA1 </it>carriers had a better prognosis than those with sporadic BC. Considering these results, women who previously had BC and had survived ten years could be selected for <it>BRCA1 </it>analysis among family members at high risk of hereditary BC during genetic counselling. Since only 30% of patients with a high probability of having hereditary BC have <it>BRCA1 </it>mutations, selecting women with a long term survival among this population could increase the rate of positive analyses, avoiding the use of expensive tests.</p

Study of the neutron-rich region in the vicinity of 208Pb via multinucleon transfer reactions

The multinucleon transfer reaction mechanism was employed to populate isotopes around the doubly- magic 208 Pb nucleus. We used an unstable 94 Rb beam on 208 Pb targets of different thickness. Transfer channels were studied via the fragment-γ and γ-γ coincidences, by using MINIBALL γ spectrometer coupled to a particle detector. Gamma transitions associated to the different Pb isotopes, populated by the neutron transfers, are discussed in terms of excitation energy and spin. Fragment angular distributions were extracted, andcompared with the reaction model
