Confronting the Medusa with Athena’s Shield: Empowering Social Workers with a Transformative Role in the Migration Field
2022
Along with existing challenges, there are new ones leading social workers to become involved in increasingly international intervention processes. This has led to the development of the concept of International Social Work (Hugman, Moosa-Mitha & Moyo, 2010; Cox & Pawar, 2006; Dominelli, 2010), which provides a good opportunity to both depart from old patterns of administering aid (Healy 2008) and to embody a perception of itself as a transformative actor (Wintergerst 2017, p. 236). Assuming that it is true that the presence of different cultures acts as a catalyst in the processes of change in society, then this is equally valid for the development of this profession (Di Rosa, 2021)…
Clandestini a Lampedusa:isolati, segregati, invisibili
2006
Social construction processes of migrant, often clandestine migrant, among the inhabitants of Lampedusa, have recorded, in the last years, a gradual moving from a prevaling sympathetic optics combined with human solidarity forms – even if not without defensive processes and forms of racism and xenophobia – to more and more clear dynamics of exclusion, often joint with intolerant, cynical and indifferent attitudes. The social representation of the stranger isn’t, however, either unvarying or coherent. Infact, the collected interviews give evidence for continuous oscillations between the wish to understand – that increases when there is an interaction with the strangers – and the need to defe…

Human Rights and the Inclusive Society
2012
Chapter 3 approaches disability as a reality that may impede the universality of human rights given that the rights of the group in question are “systematically violated”. To achieve an inclusive society in which everyone’s rights are implement, it is necessary to start with an adequate definition of the problem, referring to these individuals as “people with different capacities”, recognizing the place this difference has in society, and the role the State plays in the integration of this difference. To do this, their social visibility needs to be promoted as well as their accessibility to all spheres of social life, guaranteeing their participation in the labour and political fields, over…
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) vis-à-vis amnesties and pardons : factors concerning or affecting the degree of ECtHR’s deference to states
2022
States have adopted amnesties/pardons concerning serious human rights violations to transition from crises, dictatorships, or conflicts worldwide, including Europe. Although the ECtHR has yet to review amnesties/pardons directly, it has increasingly decided on the effects of amnesties/pardons on the rights of individuals. Thus, the main research question herein is to identify which factors may determine whether and to what extent the ECtHR defers to states regarding amnesties/pardons in cases of serious human rights violations, namely, factors concerning or affecting the degree of ECtHR’s deference to states in these cases. Based on ECtHR’s jurisprudence on amnesties/pardons, this article a…
Rights with limits: biocultural rights - between self-determination and conservation of the environment
2015
Kabir Bavikatte has recently argued that a new 'basket' of group rights is emerging from the interpretation of multilateral environmental agreements, domestic law and case law, and from shifts in the development discourse and the struggles of communities. He refers to this new set of rights as 'biocultural rights' and defines them as being all the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities required to secure their stewardship role over their lands and waters. Biocultural rights build on two foundations: the self-determination and cultural diversity of indigenous peoples and local communities, and the conservation of the environment. This article suggests that the second foundation i…

The adopted research methodology was as follows. Firstly, it was analyzed whether the right whose infringement is legalized by the ordinary legislator constitutes a constitutional value. Secondly, the problem boiled down to the question of whether the legalization of infringements of this ri…
When a virus (Covid-19) attacks human rights: The situation of asylum seekers in the medico-legal setting
2020
The Covid-19 pandemic is a global health emergency that requires immediate, effective action by governments to protect the health and basic human rights of everyone’s life. Refugees and migrants are potentially at increased risk because they typically live in overcrowded conditions often without access to basic sanitation. Since the beginning of the official lockdown for Covid-19, the medico-legal assessment of physical violence related to obtaining status or other forms of human protection has been frozen.
Nuevo criterio interpretativo de los derechos fundamentales conforme a los tratados internacionales de derechos humanos en la Constitución Española
2011
RESUMEN. En las siguientes líneas se pretende argumentar a la luz del ordenamiento jurídico español la existencia de razones jurídicas (válidas y suficientes) para catalogar como “criterio interpretativo de los Derechos Fundamentales” a los Tratados Internacionales de Derechos Humanos, aportando cuatro tipos de argumentos: El primero, se deduce de la naturaleza jurídica de los tratados como fuentes del Derecho Internacional y como obligaciones internacionales para el Estado. El segundo, deriva de la incorporación automática de los Tratados al Derecho interno consolidándose como parte del ordenamiento jurídico. El tercero, es la pauta interpretativa que cuenta con respaldo constitucional en …
El camino de Turquía hacia la Unión Europea: Aspectos de la reforma del derecho penal turco como requisito para su incorporación a la UE.
2011
RESUMEN Debido a la pretensión de Turquía por incorporarse a la Unión Europea es imperativo que verifique un cumplimiento efectivo las condiciones que establece la misma al respecto en los llamados Criterios de Copenhague. En lo que a la protección de los derechos humanos se refiere, la modificación del Derecho Penal turco deviene una de las tareas clave debido a que la protección de los bienes jurídicos fundamentales, cometido de tal disciplina, está intrínsecamente ligada con el amparo de los derechos humanos. Por ello se ha realizado un estudio de los principios generales del Derecho Penal en el sistema turco, por ser la base de tal Derecho y los límites de la potestad sancionadora del E…
