Download or read book El procedimiento probatorio en el mbito del juicio verbal written by Eva Isabel Sanjurjo Ríos and published by Editorial Reus. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El procedimiento probatorio en el ámbito del juicio verbal (Adaptado a la Ley 13/2009, de 3 de noviembre, de reforma de la legislación procesal para la implantación de la nueva Oficina Judicial). El juicio verbal como uno de los procedimientos declarativos previstos en la vigente LEC para la resolución de las contiendas judiciales a los que aquella norma se remite en su art. 250, plantea no pocos problemas prácticos en el campo probatorio, fruto de la celeridad y concentración procesal con que la LEC ha impregnado a esta tipología procedimental. Pero además de las evidentes dificultades que en el plano práctico se presentan a causa de un entendimiento, podríamos decir, más estricto de aquellas notas, ha de sumarse cualquier otra complejidad cuya explicación debe encontrar su lógica, puramente, en una falta de adecuación o conexión de algunas de las disposiciones comunes a los procesos declarativos en materia de prueba, con la propia estructura procesal adoptada por el juicio verbal. Todas estas cuestiones son objeto de estudio en el presente trabajo, tratando de hallar soluciones para las mismas, sin haberse renunciado por otra parte a examinar los aspectos esenciales en materia de prueba, para luego detenerse en el examen particularizado de cada una de las fases del procedimiento probatorio, habiéndolo hecho siempre desde la perspectiva del juicio verbal. Eva Isabel Sanjurjo Ríos es Licenciada en Derecho por la Universidad de León. En esta Universidad está vinculada al Área de Derecho Procesal, tras la concesión por la Junta de Castilla y León de una ayuda para la realización de tareas investigadoras. Anteriormente, obtuvo una beca de colaboración convocada por el MEC, que desarrolló en la misma Área de conocimiento.

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 Handbook of European Criminal Procedure written by Roberto E. Kostoris and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyses criminal procedural issues from a European perspective, particularly in connection with EU law and ECHR law. As such, it differs from previous works, which, on the one hand, generally focus only on EU law, and, on the other, address both procedural and substantial aspects, as a result of which the former receive inadequate attention. Indeed, criminal procedural matters in the European context have now reached a level of complexity, but also of maturity, that shows the features of a great design, which, even if not yet defined in all its aspects, appears sufficiently articulated to deserve to be explained in a systematic way. The book offers a guidance for practitioners, academics and students alike. It covers a broad range of topics: from the complex system of the sources of law to the multilevel protection of fundamental rights; from vertical and horizontal judicial and police cooperation to the instruments of mutual recognition, primarily the European Arrest Warrant; but also the European Investigation Order, the execution of confiscation orders, the ne bis in idem principle, the conflicts of jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgements. The book also reflects the latest regulation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.

Download or read book Archives and Human Rights written by Jens Boel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why and how can records serve as evidence of human rights violations, in particular crimes against humanity, and help the fight against impunity? Archives and Human Rights shows the close relationship between archives and human rights and discusses the emergence, at the international level, of the principles of the right to truth, justice and reparation. Through a historical overview and topical case studies from different regions of the world the book discusses how records can concretely support these principles. The current examples also demonstrate how the perception of the role of the archivist has undergone a metamorphosis in recent decades, towards the idea that archivists can and must play an active role in defending basic human rights, first and foremost by enabling access to documentation on human rights violations. Confronting painful memories of the past is a way to make the ghosts disappear and begin building a brighter, more serene future. The establishment of international justice mechanisms and the creation of truth commissions are important elements of this process. The healing begins with the acknowledgment that painful chapters are essential parts of history; archives then play a crucial role by providing evidence. This book is both a tool and an inspiration to use archives in defence of human rights.
