Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La profesora Silvia Tamayo nos aproxima en este estudio a una nueva realidad social en auge. La consecuente reasignación de roles familiares que se deriva de la reconstitución familiar, implica cada vez más frecuentemente la asunción de responsabilidades parentales por parte de las nuevas parejas de los progenitores. Asistimos a una disociación entre la paternidad biológica y social; en la constitución de la familia, el elemento carnal, biológico va perdiendo importancia en provecho del elemento psicológico, afectivo. Se hace por ello preciso calibrar el posible reconocimiento de derechos a un padre «no legal», así como examinar aquellos mecanismos a través de los cuales es factible otorgarles legitimidad. Es destacable, sin embargo, tras una descripción y valoración de la situación actual, la desidia del legislador español en lo que se refiere a las particulares circunstancias generadas por este tipo de familias. Esta realidad no viene acompañada de un reconocimiento legal, salvo, en ciertas ocasiones, a través de algunas disposiciones dispersas del Código Civil, en todo caso, fragmentarias. Todo ello trae como consecuencia la utilización incorrecta de otros instrumentos que pone de manifiesto los problemas suscitados por la aplicación de una legislación que no tiene en cuenta ni sus características ni su dinámica. De ahí la necesaria intervención legislativa, a semejanza de lo que han venido haciendo los países de nuestro entorno jurídico, con el fin de dar cobertura jurídica al papel de los padrastros mediante la enunciación precisa de derechos y obligaciones que de respuesta a las exigencias de protección del menor. La autora, profesora de Derecho Civil en la Universidad de Cantabria, ha centrado sus principales líneas de investigación en el Derecho de Obligaciones y Contratos. Entre sus obras destacan «El contrato de transacción», ed. Thomson-Civitas, 2003 (Premio Sancho Rebullida a la mejor tesis de Derecho Civil de España, 2002; Premio Consejo Social UC, 2002) y «La protección patrimonial del crédito», ed. Thomson-Civitas, 2006. Además, se ha detenido en el análisis del Derecho de familia y en este sentido son diversos los artículos que recientemente ha dedicado a las últimas reformas sobre la materia; entre otros: «El interés del menor como criterio de atribución de la custodia» (RDF; Mención de Honor en los Premios Balbuena de la Rosa-CEU, 2007); «La custodia compartida como alternativa legal» (RCDI, 2007); «Las uniones de hecho y las relaciones paterno-filiales en el derecho europeo» (RDF, 2008); «La mediación familiar desde una perspectiva comparada» (2008, 25 Aniversario de la Facultad de Derecho de la UC);... Dichas investigaciones vienen avaladas por distintas estancias en el extranjero (Bolonia, Laussanne, Lieja,...) y en concreto la que aquí se presenta ha sido el resultado de la concesión de una beca por la UC para la realización de estudios europeos en la Universidad París II.

Download or read book Law at War written by Ola Engdahl and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this volume have been inspired by the scholar to which this "Liber Amicorum" is dedicated - Professor Ove Bring - to look into both the past and the future of international law. Like Ove Bring, they have dealt with many aspects of the law governing the use of force, from arms control to human rights, international criminal law, the UN Charter, and, of course, international humanitarian law. Like Professor Bring, they have allowed themselves to draw trajectories from history and into the future, and have shunned away from neither the controversial nor the speculative, be it on the Middle East, the invasion of Iraq or the independence of Kosovo. This collection brings together insights from a former UN Legal Counsel, a former Executive Chairman of UNMOVIC, present and former judges of the European Court of Justice, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, one present and one former member of the International Law Commission, as well as law professors and practitioners, from all Nordic countries, Germany and Australia. Together they form a highly challenging mosaic of perspectives on topical issues like cluster munitions, targeting, human rights in peace operations and the purposes of sentencing in international tribunals. The volume also contains a bibliography and a presentation of Professor Bring's work.

Download or read book Structure and Justification in Private Law written by C.E.F. Rickett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-27 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Birks's tragically early death, and his immense influence around the world, led immediately to the call for a volume of essays in his honour by scholars who had known him as a colleague, teacher and friend. One such volume, published in 2006, contained essays largely from scholars working in England (Mapping the Law: Essays in Memory of Peter Birks, edited by Andrew Burrows and Lord Rodger). This volume contains the essays of those outside England who chose to honour Peter, and appears later than the English volume, reflecting the far flung habitations of its authors. The essays contained in this volume are focussed around the law of unjust enrichment, but are not narrowly preoccupied - instead they move freely from unjust enrichment to some of the most profound questions in private law concerning taxonomy, the relationship between contract, property and unjust enrichment, and the place of remedies within private law. This volume, featuring the work of some of the world's great private lawyers, provides a fitting tribute to a great scholar, and a series of thought-provoking essays inspired by his example.

Download or read book Crime Procedure and Evidence in a Comparative and International Context written by John D Jackson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-09-29 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to honour the work of Professor Mirjan Damaška, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School and a prominent authority for many years in the fields of comparative law, procedural law, evidence, international criminal law and Continental legal history. Professor Damaška 's work is renowned for providing new frameworks for understanding different legal traditions. To celebrate the depth and richness of his work and discuss its implications for the future, the editors have brought together an impressive range of leading scholars from different jurisdictions in the fields of comparative and international law, evidence and criminal law and procedure. Using Professor Damaška's work as a backdrop, the essays make a substantial contribution to the development of comparative law, procedure and evidence. After an introduction by the editors and a tribute by Harold Koh, Dean of Yale Law School, the book is divided into four parts. The first part considers contemporary trends in national criminal procedure, examining cross-fertilisation and the extent to which these trends are resulting in converging practices across national jurisdictions. The second part explores the epistemological environment of rules of evidence and procedure. The third part analyses human rights standards and the phenomenon of hybridisation in transnational and international criminal law. The final part of the book assesses Professor Damaška 's contribution to comparative law and the challenges faced by comparative law in the twenty first century.

Download or read book Private and Civil Law in the Russian Federation written by William Bradford Simons and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume are from two Leiden conferences. There, distinguished scholars and practitioners from Russia and the Far Abroad measured the winds of change in the field of private law in post-Soviet Russia: enormous differences from the Soviet period, crucial in supporting post-Soviet changes toward freedom of choice in the marketplaces of goods, services, ideas and political institutions. This volume will enable the reader to further chart the progress made in Russia (and the region) in the revitalization of private and civil law and its impact upon practice and comparative legal studies and to appreciate the role which the distinction between the public and private sectors is seen as playing in the process.
