This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuando fuimos invitados a contribuir en este simposio desde una perspectiva positivista, no sabíamos si considerar esta invitación como un halago o como una afrenta: ¿no representa el positivismo unas visiones pasadas de moda, conservadoras, propias de la Europa continental del siglo XIX, es decir unas ideas ingenuas de hombres blancos ya muertos sobre la posibilidad de la obje¬tividad en el derecho y la moral? No podemos hacer mayor cosa sobre el hecho de ser hombres blancos, pero ciertamente no nos hemos visto como positivistas de ese tipo. Teniendo en cuenta el amplio rango de metodologías que los editores han incluido, nos podemos relacionar con varias aproximaciones y no solamente con el positivismo. Pero reflexionando sobre nuestro trabajo diario en el mundo jurídico, llegamos a la conclusión de que, para bien o para mal, de hecho manejamos herramientas desarrolladas por la tradición "positivista". La aplicabilidad del derecho humanitario a los conflictos armados internos nos parece que es un buen caso para examinar el uso práctico de las metodologías escogidas: de un lado, la realidad cambiante, en la cual los conflictos internacionales cada vez más dan paso a violencia interna, es un argumento a favor del cambio jurídico que debe seguirse.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La institución de la responsabilidad internacional penal del individuo por violaciones graves del derecho internacional humanitario y de los derechos humanos se consagró tras los juicios de los tribunales penales internacionales de Nüremberg y Tokio (1945- 1946). Éste acontecimiento sentó las bases para evitar que en el futuro los responsables de cometer crímenes horrorosos, sobre todo contra personas civiles durante un conflicto armado internacional, quedaran impunes. Sin embargo, la implementación de este tipo de responsabilidad no volvió a escenificarse nuevamente por la ausencia de conflictos armados que involucrasen directamente a potencias militares y se aplicara la justicia de los vencedores hacia los vencidos, más bien los grandes conflictos armados dejaron de ser internacionales, dificultando por tanto que surgiera un nuevo episodio de rendición de cuentas. Por otro lado, la Guerra Fría que libró a la humanidad de un enfrentamiento bélico a escala apocalíptica entre las superpotencias Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética, degeneró en un problema quizás mayor que el provocado durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial contra las personas civiles, y es que al interior de diversos Estados recién formados producto de la descolonización y guerras de independencia, particularmente en África y Asia, y Estados dirigidos por gobiernos dictatoriales o regímenes militares poco democráticos como lo sucedido en la mayoría de los Estados latinoamericanos, la guerra ideológica de las superpotencias desencadenó el surgimiento de conflictos armados internos en esos Estados, en cuyo contexto no estaba totalmente claro si la implementación de la responsabilidad internacional penal del individuo en esos escenarios podría tener cabida; y mientras ello ocurría, miles de seres humanos perecían, en su mayoría personas civiles, sin que tuvieran ninguna vinculación con los combatientes...

Download or read book Law and Globalization from Below written by Boaventura de Sousa Santos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-08 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an unprecedented attempt to analyze the role of the law in the global movement for social justice. Case studies in the book are written by leading scholars from both the global South and the global North, and combine empirical research on the ground with innovative sociolegal theory to shed new light on a wide array of topics. Among the issues examined are the role of law and politics in the World Social Forum; the struggle of the anti-sweatshop movement for the protection of international labour rights; and the challenge to neoliberal globalization and liberal human rights raised by grassroots movements in India and indigenous peoples around the world. These and other cases, the editors argue, signal the emergence of a subaltern cosmopolitan law and politics that calls for new social and legal theories capable of capturing the potential and tensions of counter-hegemonic globalization.

Download or read book Closing the Books written by Jon Elster and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of transitional justice - retribution and reparation after a change of political regime - from Athens in the fifth century BC to the present. Part I, 'The Universe of Transitional Justice', describes more than thirty transitions, some of them in considerable detail, others more succinctly. Part II, 'The Analytics of Transitional Justice', proposes a framework for explaining the variations among the cases - why after some transitions wrongdoers from the previous regime are punished severely and in other cases mildly or not at all, and victims sometimes compensated generously and sometimes poorly or not at all. After surveying a broad range of justifications and excuses for wrongdoings and criteria for selecting and indemnifying victims, the 2004 book concludes with a discussion of three general explanatory factors: economic and political constraints, the retributive emotions, and the play of party politics.

Download or read book Environmental Crime and Social Conflict written by Avi Brisman and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-03-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impressive collection of original essays explores the relationship between social conflict and the environment - a topic that has received little attention within criminology. The chapters provide a systematic and comprehensive introduction and overview of conflict situations stemming from human exploitation of environments, as well as the impact of social conflicts on the wellbeing and health of specific species and ecosystems. Largely informed by green criminology perspectives, the chapters in the book are intended to stimulate new understandings of the relationships between humans and nature through critical evaluation of environmental destruction and degradation associated with social conflicts occurring around the world. With a goal of creating a typology of environment-social conflict relationships useful for green criminological research, this study is essential reading for scholars and academics in criminology, as well as those interested in crime, law and justice.

Download or read book What Happened to the Women written by Ruth Rubio-Marín and published by SSRC. This book was released on 2006 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to women whose lives are affected by human rights violations? What happens to their testimony in court or in front of a truth commission? Women face a double marginalization under authoritarian regimes and during and after violent conflicts. Yet reparations programs are rarely designed to address the needs of women victims. What Happened to the Women? Gender and Reparations for Human Rights Violations emphasizes the necessity of a gender dimension in reparations programs to improve their handling of female victims and their families. A joint project of the International Center for Transitional Justice and Canada's International Development Research Centre, What Happened to the Women? includes studies of gender and reparations policies in Guatemala, Peru, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Timor-Leste. Contributors represent a wide range of fields related to transitional justice and include international human rights lawyers, members of truth and reconciliation commissions, and NGO representatives.

Download or read book Equality of Opportunity for Sexual and Gender Minorities written by John Arzinos and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite legal and social advances in the past two decades, sexual and gender minorities continue to face widespread discrimination and violence in many countries. This discrimination and violence lead to exclusion, which adversely impacts their lives, as well as the communities and economies in which they live. A major barrier to addressing this stigma and sexual orientation and gender identity(SOGI)-based exclusion is the lack of SOGI-specific data. Robust, quantitative data on di‚fferential development experiences and outcomes of sexual and gender minorities--especially those in developing countries--is extremely thin. This paucity of data jeopardizes the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and countries' commitment to the principle of 'leaving no one behind' in the eff‚ort to end poverty and inequality. 'Equality of Opportunity for Sexual and Gender Minorities' assesses the unique challenges that sexual and gender minorities face in six important areas: (i) Criminalization and SOGI (ii) Access to education (iii) Access to the labor market (iv) Access to public services and social protection (v) Civil and political inclusion (vi) Protection from hate crimes. This report cov‚ers numerous policy recommendations to prevent and eliminate discriminatory practices in all of the areas covered. It also seeks to inflŽuence legislative changes and support research on institutions and regulations that can ultimately lead to poverty reduction and shared prosperity. At the same time, it acknowledges that the mere existence of inclusive laws and regulations does not ensure that sexual and gender minorities are free from discrimination--the enforcement of those laws is crucial. This publication, the first in a series of studies, will be expanded from the 16 countries included here to a wider set of countries for more in-depth quantitative analysis and to identify possible correlations with socioeconomic outcomes. It will seek to deepen knowledge, facilitate peer learning of good practices, and encourage reforms to increase the inclusion of sexual and gender minorities.
