The 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a good reason to think about responsibility of academicians for human rights promotion. The objective of paper is the history of RC26 for Human Rights of International Political Science Association (IPSA) as well as story about efforts of academicians for support of human rights education in contemporary Russia.
International Political Science Association (IPSA) was established in 1949 with strong support of new United Nation organization. The desire of this new United Nations organization for Educational, Scientific and Cultural (UNESCO) to stimulate development of the social sciences therefore necessarily gave rise to an enterprise that had both intellectual and institutional aspects. Therefore establishing of IPSA was a direct result of UN creation. Structure of IPSA consists from two main part – national organizations and research committee. Group for human rights study was recognized as study group in 1980, seven year later this group received Research committee Status. Now Research Committee #26 - for Human Rights consists from more than sixty members from twenty three countries, and near to 500 other IPSA members are interesting in human rights issue.
In second part of my paper I would like to present some concrete experience of promotion of civil education, based at the human rights approach. Now, in contemporary Russia it is not so good time for human rights education. But collaboration of some Russian academicians, Interregional Center for Humanity and Political Science STRATEGY, some deputies from Russian State Duma with Moscow Branch of Friedrich Naumann Foundation had very good result. The Report for Standing Committee for Science and Education of Russian State Duma about law-using practices in field of civic and human rights suction was prepared, published and now discussed in many Russian regions.
