A plea has been filed before the Supreme Court seeking equality in the treatment of authorized journalists and unauthorized journalists for the needs of compensation and other benefits granted by the Central and state governments amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A few state governments have declared journalists as frontline workers; however, the Central government has still not proclaimed the thought. The intervention application (IA) assails the special drive under the Central government’s Journalist Welfare Scheme (JWS) because it doesn’t cover “non-accredited journalists”. Thus, it violates the right to equality under Article 14 of the Constitution of India.

The plea cited figures of journalists who gave up the ghost within the line of duty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between April 1, 2020, and May 19, 2021, there are 253 verified deaths of journalists thanks to COVID-19 and 93 unverified deaths. The Centre had launched a special drive under the JWS to assist the immediate families of these media journalists who died due to Covid-19. According to the rules under the scheme, accreditation details of the journalist need to be provided. Point 3(ii) (a) and (b) of the guidelines state that “media personnel” will not include people who are at a managerial level or in a supervisory capacity. This leaves an outsized number of persons including unaccredited journalists, technical, managerial, and supervisory staff employed with media organizations alongside unaccredited freelance journalists and stringers who are bereft of any relief or benefits under the scheme.

As per Rule 6.1 of the rules, the eligibility conditions for correspondents/camera persons to avail of the scheme are “minimum 15 years professional experience as a full-time working journalist”. This leaves out an outsized number of journalists who are going to not tend to any benefits after dying within the line of duty due to COVID-19. The mere non-accreditation which is merely a recognition provided by the govt for purposes of access to sources of data, won’t be covered under the scheme. Thus, it’s no parity and is violative of Article-14 of the Constitution of India. The applicant stated that she surveyed 70 journalists/media persons who died of COVID-19 and located out that only 6 percent of them were accredited to the Press Information Bureau. 37 percent were accredited to the government and 57 percent were without accreditation. The difference between the authorized and unauthorized journalists/media person by both the central and therefore the state governments are violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The plea was settled by Senior Advocate Salman Khurshid and filed through advocate Lubna Naaz.

Call for Abstracts

Week of 25th October 2021

Rationale:

This conference forms part of an ERC funded project, titled Gendered Peace, led by Professor Christine Chinkin. This grant takes an interdisciplinary approach to provide new understandings of the spectrum of peace and conflict, while centring a gender analysis.

Peace remains undefined within international law. Despite this there are numerous references to peace within international legal documents, with the UN Charter assigning the UN Security Council with responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and to this end mandating peace operations.

The right to education was enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948. Specifically, Article 26 of the UDHR establishes that the individual has the right to education. Within the text of Article 26 there is a direct link to peace, it states:

Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) in 1966 provided the right to education, Articles 13 and 14, with more detail.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization was established in 1945, as the primary international legal institution currently charged with the dissemination and articulation of peace education throughout the world. UNESCO’s current work stresses the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals, which lists ‘gender equality’ and ‘peace, justice and strong institutions’ as two of its interlinked goals. From an institutional perspective gender has been utilised as a category in order to assess education equality and as a tool of analysis within the peace education field. Gender has also been used as a focal point for discussions on women’s peace education initiatives and women’s personal education achievements.

This brief introduction suggests that the concepts of peace, education, international law and gender are related to, and rely on, each other in varying ways. But are there other ways these areas interact, or could interact? How can a robust gender analysis shift understandings of peace education within international law and thus even that of peace itself? How is peace education understood and put into practice differently in local and international spaces? What does it mean to say there is a right to peace education? Does or should such a right exist?

These are just a few of our many questions. We are therefore proposing a symposium where participants can think through the linkages between the complex and nuanced areas of gender, peace, education (peace education) and international law and what might flow from making such linkages.

We invite abstracts from a range of disciplines for presentation at the conference. Papers might address peace, education, gender and international law or only touch on a combination of two or three, but adopting a feminist approach. Some areas of inquiry might include: historical examples of peace education, ‘Education in Emergencies’, education in refugee camps, the nexus between human rights education and peace education, the work of UNESCO, theoretical approaches to peace education, the Women, Peace and Security agenda, ‘women and girls’ in peace education and domestic vs international peace education perspectives.

Questions for discussion:

1)    What are some untold histories of peace education?

2)    How do we teach peace? And why?

3)    Is there such a thing as feminist peace education?

4)    If we used the UN Security Council Women, Peace and Security Resolutions as a textbook, what would it teach us about peace?

5)    What is the relevance of this topic for the feminist international legal scholar?

Deadline: 

Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent by 18 June 2021 to Dr Sheri Labenski at s.a.labenski@lse.ac.uk with the email subject heading ‘Gender, Peace and Education’. Symposium participants will be notified by 3 September 2021.

Suggested Outputs: 

We invite participants to write a blog post for publication on the LSE WPS Blog. Further outputs potentially could include a special issue of a journal.
