This study proposes to apply an automated lexical analysis to the European Security Strategy of 2003, entitled “A Secure Europe in a Better World”, and the European Union Global Strategy of 2016, entitled “Shared Vision, Common Acton: A Stronger Europe”. The findings are not limited to supporting the predominant interpretations of scholars and experts, but aim at exploring the usefulness of text mining techniques in the interpretation of EU documents. Furthermore, the conclusions drawn from the lexical analysis are discussed in the light of complex systems theory, which may be beneficial for the proper understanding of the concept of resilience (mainly its multidimensional nature) and its subsequent operationalization. The last part of the paper includes an in-depth analysis of the EU rhetoric on the UN fora (period: 2014–2019) regarding the concept of resilience, in particular its linkages with human rights.

Linguistic human rights are a concept remaining on the crossroads of several scientific disciplines, e.g. linguistics, anthropology, psychology and, last but not least, human rights law. Taking the latter as a lens, this study seeks to clarify the concept of linguistic human rights in education – presumably, the most linguistically sensitive sphere in the life of individuals and communities. The paper demonstrates that despite little mention of language in the UN treaties (ICESCR, CRC, CERD, CADE), its importance is reflected in the practice of the relevant treaty-based bodies. Moreover, increasing interest from scholars across a range of disciplines is contributing to the development of a linguistic human rights doctrine and is penetrating the UN human rights framework.

Celem pracy jest przedstawienie ewolucji relacji zachodzących pomiędzy instytucjami finansowymi, w szczególności bankami, a jednostką w XX i XXI w. (oraz, w niezbędnym zakresie, również z państwem jako regulatorem sektora finansowego, a zarazem podmiotem na którym spoczywa pierwszorzędna odpowiedzialność za zagwarantowanie praw człowieka ustanowionych w traktatach). Pierwsza część pracy przedstawia historię rozwoju relacji pomiędzy państwem, instytucjami finansowymi a jednostką w XX w. Druga część poświęcona jest zmianom, jakie w tym zakresie zaszły w XXI w. na płaszczyźnie międzynarodowej – w działalności podmiotów niepaństwowych, w tym instytucji finansowych, coraz częściej akcentuje się bowiem zobowiązania w zakresie ochrony praw człowieka. Przypisanie takiej odpowiedzialności wskazuje, że społeczność międzynarodowa dąży do wzmocnienia ochrony autonomii jednostki. Potwierdza to również poczyniona w pracy analiza uwag końcowych organów traktatowych funkcjonujących w ramach ONZ-owskiego systemu ochrony praw człowieka.

This paper seeks to provide a systematic analysis of the changing relations between the financial institutions (mainly banks) and individuals throughout the XX and XXI centuries. The topic requires, however, to address the role of the state as well – it is the government which acts as a regulator of the financial markets and remains bound by the human rights treaties. The first part of the paper is sketching necessary historical context while the second part investigets some of the recent developments within the international human rights law. The threats to the enjoyment of human rights posed by non-state actors, including financial institutions, provoke a question over their responsibility in this matter. Endorsement given to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (2011) indicates the direction of evolution towards strengtening the protection of the individual.

This paper seeks to provide a systematic analysis of the changing relations between financial institutions, banks in particular, and individuals in the 20th and 21st centuries. The first part of the study presents the history of relations between the state, financial institutions and individuals in the twentieth century, while the second part is devoted to the changes that have taken place internationally in this area in the 21st century in the activities of non-state actors, including financial institutions, as more and more often obligations in the field of human rights protection are being emphasised. The attribution of such responsibility indicates the fact that the international community is seeking to strengthen the protection of individual autonomy. This is also confirmed by the analysis of the final observations formulated by treaty bodies functioning within the UN system of human rights protection.

In March 2022, the European Commission presented its long-awaited legislative proposal on the EU-wide human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) for business. This article argues that the proposed Directive fails to be an effective and innovative legislation in three respects. Firstly, it does not draw lessons from the shortcomings of the to-date regulatory policy relating to business and human rights. It mainly consolidates at the EU level the status quo of extant due diligence legislation in Europe. Secondly, the proposal falls short of the established international standards and its own objectives insofar as it fails to establish instruments for effectively preventing and remedying human rights and environmental harm. Thirdly, the proposal’s normative preference for process- (rather than result-) oriented HREDD risks reducing it to yet another compliance instrument. Beside amending these shortcomings, to achieve a breakthrough, the upcoming legislation should in any case define HREDD as the legal standard of care; the compliance with which does not per se exclude civil liability. The general negotiation approach of the Council is not proposing much improvement in that regard. The stakes for the European Parliament’s possible role to raise the bar are thus very high.
