And Part III examines the human rights criteria employed by SRI indices when selecting companies for investment. 4. (...)

During the President’s consultations, additional criteria are used to disqualify some candidates or qualify new ones. (...) What will be fixed behind the scenes will not have the requisite credibility.

Rationale: (a) Classification based on existing human eye data is not possible since such data are not available; (b) Classification via application of substance criteria in GHS Table 3.3.1 and Table 3.3.2 is not possible since existing animal data are not available; ST/SG/AC.10/C.4/2012/25 10 GE.12-24566 (c) Test results derived using the BCOP test method indicate Mixture A is a corrosive or severe eye irritant. (...) Example 4 is an updated version of the example submitted in document ST/SG/AC.10/C.4/2010/15 that explains and illustrates the two interpretations of the GHS criteria with respect to whether classification should always be based on the summation method whenever information on the classification categories of the ingredients of an untested mixture is available, or whether it is preferable to make the maximum use of actual data on the toxicity of the ingredients through use of the additivity formula when both toxicity data and aquatic hazard classification information are available. (...) For example, the European Union guidance document on the application of the GHS-criteria as implemented in the EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) Regulation states that the information on classification categories of the ingredients should be used to apply the summation method and where classification on the ingredients are available the additivity formula should not be used.

In Argentina, the right to adequate housing has constitutional rank.10 The amended Constitution of 1949 recognized the social function of private ownership and the right to housing, but only within the framework of the welfare of workers and senior citizens. (...) A/HRC/19/53/Add.1 GE.11-17535 7 new article 14 bis, under which the right to adequate housing was specifically recognized, in the context of social security benefits granted by the State, and access to decent housing was required to be guaranteed by law.11 14. Under the 1994 constitutional reform (Constitution, art. 75, para. 22), the Covenant — and thus the right to adequate housing — acquired constitutional rank, as did a number of other international human rights treaties, and was considered to supplement all the rights recognized under the Constitution. 15. The right to adequate housing has, furthermore, been specifically recognized in local legislation, in particular in the constitutions of eight provinces (Chaco, Chubut, Córdoba, Formosa, Rio Negro, Salta, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas de Atlántico Sur) and in the constitution of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. 16.

The assumption that social and economic factors should be taken into account for a more comprehensive picture of the situation of freedom of religion or belief seems generally plausible. IV. Recognition and registration issues 22. While article 2 of the Constitution of Jordan accords Islam an elevated status as the official religion of the State, Christian denominations are also recognized by the State. (...) Instead, applications for recognition or registration should be decided by the administration on the basis of transparent criteria applicable to all groups, without discrimination. 25. (...) The positive interrelatedness of both norms has also found recognition in the Rabat Plan of Action on the prohibition of advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.6 While setting a high threshold for restrictive measures against extreme forms of hate speech, which have to meet a number of precisely defined criteria to be legitimate, the Rabat Plan of Action emphasizes the need for “alternative speech”.

Dilution bridging principle example The purpose of this example is to illustrate how the dilution bridging principle criteria can be applied. While this specific example uses acute toxicity data, the reader is reminded that the dilution bridging principle can be applied to other hazard classes as prescribed in the purple book. (...) Batching bridging principle example The purpose of this example is to illustrate how the batching bridging principle criteria can be applied. While this specific example uses specific target organ toxicity – single dose data, the reader is reminded that the batching bridging principle can be applied to other hazard classes as prescribed in the purple book. (...) Aerosols bridging principle example The purpose of this example is to illustrate how the aerosols bridging principle criteria can be applied. While this specific example uses skin corrosion/irritation data, the reader is reminded that the aerosols bridging principle can be applied to other hazard classes as prescribed in the purple book.
