Human Duties and Rights in an Intercultural Perspective

2022

This paper reflects on the possibility of opening new ways of revaluing the role of human responsibilities and duties by establishing a relationship with rights that goes further than a simple correspondence between correlative terms. Approaching the interdependence between the language of rights and the language of duties from an intercultural perspective helps achieve an increasingly broader, but necessarily more complex, consensus. This analysis goes back to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which left duties in the background but showed the incipient presence of an intercultural purpose thanks to the work of UNESCO. The final part of the paper is devoted to those international …

LAW AND SOCIAL CHANGE: RIGHT TO A NAME, PERSONAL IDENTITY AND PRIVATE LIFE IN CONTEXT

2014

The name is the key to identify a single individual and to link a person to her family, as well as the primary interface in the relationship between a person and the community he or she lives in. This study claims that private life and private autonomy are becoming interpretative arguments and vehicles to ensure that law would be able to follow – and sometimes to chase – social changes in personal and family life, in finding new rules to regulate the relationship between the individual, the family and public authorities or between a private individual and the community she interfaces with.1 Judicial interpretative activity often reveals legislative shortcomings. In particular, the judiciary…

Com afecta la crisi al sistema de Serveis Socials

2012

The economic crisis is affecting people and societies in a different way depending on their initial situation. As far as Social Services are concerned in the Valencian Community, an analysis needs to be made of this system as it was when the crisis first emerged. Its structure is deficient and involves overlaps, in which schemes have been replaced with individual assistance, payment of subsidies takes too long and in which subjective rights, stemming from the Personal Autonomy and Care for Dependency Law and the Law on Citizens' Guaranteed Income, are poorly applied. The values crisis precedes the economic and financial crisis, which is why any possibilities of facing up to these have to se…
