Download or read book El derecho humano al agua en el derecho jurisprudencial de la Corte Constitucional de Colombia written by Juan David Ubajoa Osso and published by U. Externado de Colombia. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan David Ubajoa, autor de la investigación, no desconoce la evolución del derecho humano al agua desde los reconocimientos normativos en cuanto al uso común, el abastecimiento a poblaciones y el servicio público, así como la ratificación de diferen¬tes tratados y convenios internacionales y la aceptación de principios consagrados en diferentes declaraciones mundiales. Sin embargo, en razón a la relevancia de los pro-nunciamientos de la Corte Constitucional sobre el reconocimiento al derecho humano al agua, el autor decide priorizar en su investigación el camino que la Corte Constitucional ha recorrido para proteger este derecho, al afirmar, con base en la jurisprudencia anali¬zada, que la prestación del servicio público domiciliario de acueducto y alcantarillado es la mejor forma de lograr la satisfacción del derecho humano al agua. Esta premisa es validada por el autor a lo largo de su escrito, ya que con fundamento en el análisis que realiza deduce que existe un vínculo entre el derecho al agua y los servicios públicos de acueducto y alcantarillado, y que es la prestación de estos servicios "la mejor vía" para satisfacer este derecho humano básico y lograr la dignidad propia de un Estado social de derecho.

This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dentro del conjunto de bienes jurídicos susceptibles de protección en el nuevo entorno constitucional, el derecho al agua ocupa un lugar preponderante. Como bien se indica por el autor, el establecimiento de ese específico derecho en nuestro ordenamiento se deriva de su reconocimiento por la comunidad internacional, que lo ha incluido dentro del catálogo de derechos económicos, sociales y culturales del hombre, así como en diferentes pactos y convenios internacionales sobre derechos humanos, de todo lo cual se da cuenta en la obra. Se hace notar cómo el derecho al agua puede considerarse incluido ya en el Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos Sociales y Culturales, a partir, puntualmente, de sus artículos 11 y 12, tal y como se puso de presente por el Comité de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales de Naciones Unidas–órgano que ejecuta y hace cumplir la normatividad del pacto, en su observación número décimo quinta denominada, precisamente “El derecho al agua”.

This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta monografía de investigación pretende abordar la construcción jurídica del derecho al agua como un derecho fundamental y como un derecho humano, desde la perspectiva del Derecho constitucional. El agua ha sido un tema fundamental desde los inicios de la historia constitucional del país, y si bien la configuración jurídica actual es diferente a la señalada en las constituciones previas a la de 1991, las distintas formas de reconocimiento reflejan los cambios y las necesidades de la sociedad y de la población, que van causando la obligación de precisiones, evolución y sofisticación en el régimen jurídico del agua. Con este propósito, la obra se divide en tres capítulos: el primero nos habla sobre la historia constitucional de la protección del recurso hídrico; el segundo se refiere a la relación entre el agua y los derechos humanos en Colombia en perspectiva constitucional; y el tercero alude a la relación entre el agua y los servicios públicos, es decir, la forma como se materializa el suministro de agua a la población, y el consecuente esquema de vertimientos, también desde la arista constitucional.

Download or read book El acceso al agua potable un deber estatal C mo el servicio p blico de acueducto garantiza el derecho social fundamental de acceso al agua potable written by Richard Steve Ramírez Grisales and published by U. Externado de Colombia. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Preguntar cómo van las cosas y si pueden mejorar es una parte ineludible de la búsqueda de la justicia" [2012]. Esta reflexión de Amartya Sen orienta los tres contenidos del libro: 1. Permite comprender las condiciones en que opera el actual esquema de prestación del servicio de acueducto. 2. Justifica por qué la actual protección judicial otorgada por la Corte Constitucional, en los casos de suspensión del servicio, no es idónea. 3. Define una propuesta acerca de cómo el Estado ha de cumplir su deber de satisfacer la necesidad básica de acceso al agua potable. En suma, el autor justifica, de una manera novedosa, cómo el Estado ha de cumplir su deber de satisfacer la necesidad básica de acceso al agua potable, a partir de un exhaustivo estudio de caso en la jurisprudencia constitucional colombiana, la noción de necesidad básica, el concepto de derecho fundamental social de acceso al agua potable, y el enfoque de las capabilities desarrollado por Amartya Sen y Martha Nussbaum.

Download or read book International Environmental Law and the Global South written by Shawkat Alam and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unprecedented degradation of the planet's vital ecosystems is among the most pressing issues confronting the international community. Despite the proliferation of legal instruments to combat environmental problems, conflicts between rich and poor nations (the North-South divide) have compromised international environmental law, leading to deadlocks in environmental treaty negotiations and noncompliance with existing agreements. This volume examines both the historical origins of the North-South divide in European colonialism as well as its contemporary manifestations in a range of issues including food justice, energy justice, indigenous rights, trade, investment, extractive industries, human rights, land grabs, hazardous waste, and climate change. Born out of the recognition that global inequality and profligate consumerism present threats to a sustainable planet, this book makes a unique contribution to international environmental law by emphasizing the priorities and perspectives of the global South.

Download or read book Global Environmental Constitutionalism written by James R. May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

Download or read book We the Corporations How American Businesses Won Their Civil Rights written by Adam Winkler and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark exposé and “deeply engaging legal history” of one of the most successful, yet least known, civil rights movements in American history (Washington Post). In a revelatory work praised as “excellent and timely” (New York Times Book Review, front page), Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight, once again makes sense of our fraught constitutional history in this incisive portrait of how American businesses seized political power, won “equal rights,” and transformed the Constitution to serve big business. Uncovering the deep roots of Citizens United, he repositions that controversial 2010 Supreme Court decision as the capstone of a centuries-old battle for corporate personhood. “Tackling a topic that ought to be at the heart of political debate” (Economist), Winkler surveys more than four hundred years of diverse cases—and the contributions of such legendary legal figures as Daniel Webster, Roger Taney, Lewis Powell, and even Thurgood Marshall—to reveal that “the history of corporate rights is replete with ironies” (Wall Street Journal). We the Corporations is an uncompromising work of history to be read for years to come.

Download or read book When Rights Embrace Responsibilities written by Giulia Sajeva and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conservation of environment and the protection of human rights are two of the most compelling needs of our time. Unfortunately, they are not always easy to combine and too often result in mutual harm. This book analyses the idea of biocultural rights as a proposal for harmonizing the needs of environmental and human rights. These rights, considered as a basket of group rights, are those deemed necessary to protect the stewardship role that certain indigenous peoples and local communities have played towards the environment. With a view to understanding the value and merits, as well as the threats that biocultural rights entail, the book critically assesses their foundations, content, and implications, and develops new perspectives and ideas concerning their potential applicability for promoting the socio-economic interests of indigenous people and local communities. It further explores the controversial relationship of interdependence and conflict between conservation of environment and protection of human rights.

Download or read book The Selected Works of Arne Naess written by Arne Naess and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-17 with total page 3517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arne Naess is considered one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. He has been a tremendously prolific author, yet his works as a whole have remained largely unavailable – until now. Springer made available for the first time, a definitive 10-volume collection of Arne Naess’s life’s works: The Selected Works of Arne Naess. The Selected Works of Arne Naess (SWAN) presents a major overview of Arne Naess’s thinking and provides an extensive collection of this prolific philosopher’s principal writings. Some of Naess’s most important publications have never before been available in English. Many others are out of print. Often, his papers were published in obscure and inaccessible journals. And because Naess has been so prolific, many of his most important papers still remain unpublished. The publication of SWAN makes Naess’s work more fully accessible to scholars, students, and critics alike.

Download or read book Comparative Climate Change Litigation Beyond the Usual Suspects written by Francesco Sindico and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the acknowledgment that climate change is a multifaceted challenge that requires action on the part of all stakeholders, including civil society, and the notion that climate change is at a tipping point with urgent measures needed in the next decade. Against this background, civil society is turning its attention to the courts as a means to directly influence climate action, partly because of the global scepticism towards the progress of global climate action, despite the ongoing implementation of the Paris Agreement. Focusing on the individual, broadly representing civil society, the book offers fresh perspectives on climate change litigation. While most of the literature on climate change litigation examines the same specific jurisdictions, mostly common law countries (US and Australia in particular), this book also considers specific countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America with little or no climate change litigation. It explores the reasons for the lack of litigation and discusses what measures should or could be taken to change this situation and push forward climate action. Unlike other literature on the subject, this book analyses climate change litigation using a scenario-based methodology. Combining rigorous academic analysis with a practical policy-oriented focus, the book provides valuable insights for a wide range of stakeholders interested in climate change litigation. It appeals to civil society organisations around the world, international organisations and law firms interested in climate change litigation.
