negative: Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations The Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations ( previously known as the CAF Beach Soccer Championship prior to 2016 ) is the main international championship for beach soccer in Africa , mirroring that of the Africa Cup of Nations in association football , aiming to crown the best nation on the continent . Also referred to as the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup qualifiers for CAF , the championship was established in 2006 after FIFA made requirements for all confederations to begin holding a qualification tournament to determine the best national team ( s ) in the region and hence those who would proceed to represent their continent in the forthcoming FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup . Therefore , since the World Cup takes place every two years , so does the championship .   Africa was awarded two spots at the finals under FIFA 's new changes to the organisation of the World Cup and hence the winners and runners-up of the championship qualify to the succeeding World Cup finals . Before 2006 , there was no consistent method of qualification or number of spots at the World Cup for African nations , with countries often simply being invited to play in the finals , without competing for a regional title beforehand .   Organisation of the championship had previously all but been the responsibility of Beach Soccer Worldwide ( BSWW ) , however , after minimal input in preceding editions , in 2015 CAF made a commitment to extensively increase their involvement in the organisation of the championship . This saw mass expansion , with CAF establishing a qualification phase taking place first to determine the elite eight nations to compete in the finals of the championship itself , as opposed to automatic entry as in the past , causing a surge in the number of teams participating . This involvement lead to CAF referring to the tournament as the Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations to which it was officially renamed for the 2016 event .   Preparing for the 2017 edition , CAF announced that , since three major CAF competitions are held in odd years already , the tournament would be changing to be held in even years henceforth , starting with 2016 .   The most successful nation is Senegal , who have won the tournament three of the seven times , and have qualified for the World Cup five times .

The Human Rights City initiative emerged from the global human rights movement , and it reflects efforts of activist groups to improve respect for human rights principles by governments and other powerful actors who operate at the local/community level . Because of their focus on local contexts , Human Rights Cities tend to emphasize economic , social , and cultural rights as they affect the lives of residents of cities and other communities and their ability to enjoy civil and political human rights .   Human rights advocates describe a Human Rights City as `` One whose residents and local authorities , through learning about the relevance of human rights to their daily lives ( guided by a steering committee ) , join in ongoing learning , discussions , systematic analysis and critical thinking at the community level , to pursue a creative exchange of ideas and the joint planning of actions to realize their economic , social , political , civil and cultural human rights .

'' This framework has generated various practices in different cities .

This can be seen as severely negative and as representative of oppression .
