The Contribution of the Inter-American Human Rights Bodies to Evolving International Law on Indigenous Rights over Lands and Natural Resources
2010
AbstractBecause of the special relationship with land that characterises indigenous groups, rights over land and natural resources are at the heart of indigenous claims under international law. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court have developed a copious jurisprudence on the subject matter and contributed to the establishment of certain minimum indigenous peoples' land rights under customary international law. This article analyses the Inter-American judicial discourse on land issues in the light of the current status of relevant international law and reflects upon the potential contribution of the former to the further development of the latter. It fo…
El inicio de la vida humana y el alcance de su protección jurídica en la jurisprudencia europea e internacional
2014
The international human rights treaties recognize the right to life, but most of them do not determine if the unborn is within its scope and what the degree of protection. Given this lack of specificity, the interpretation and application of this fundamental right by its supervisory bodies is particularly important. The analysis of existing case law about it - mainly from Europe - will enable us to contribute to the definition of subjective and objective scope of the protection of the unborn.
The Long Route Towards a Widespread European Culture of Alternatives to Immigration Detention
2016
The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the application by some European Union countries of alternative measures to detention of migrants. Sections 2 and 3 indicate, in line with European normatives and with detention being a measure of last resort, that Member States having ascertained that there are grounds for the detention of migrants, should evaluate whether the aims pursued can be achieved through a less coercive measure which respects the fundamental rights of individuals. Unfortunately, as examined in Section 4, analysis of most European countries’ law reveals an unsatisfactory application of alternative measures to detention. As in, for example, Italy’s case, whose leg…

Human Rights and Changes to the International Legal System. Philosophical Reflections on the (Difficult) Coexistence of International Humanitarian La…
2012
Chapter 6 analyses the relationship between International human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL). IHL represents the new version of a part of the old ius gentium, in particular its ius in bello. Nonetheless, IHL excludes ius ad bellum, formerly linked to ius in bello in ius gentium, in continuity with the Just War Theory. The current IHL is characterized by neutrality, impartiality, and humanity in protecting victims. The practice of IHRL – not the abstract doctrine of natural rights – aims to protect human beings in different contexts and against different forms of vulnerability. In this last sense, IHL could be seen as a part of the former in the case of vulnerab…

The Faces of Civil Justice in the Global Society of the 21st Century
2015
Over time the consecration of political and democratic social models have allowed to convert the process into a category of an instrument or alternative in exercising the fundamental right to Access Justice; it is an Instrument, certainly, but it is an indispensable instrument in achieving this and it became a guarantor of citizens, with the right to claim protection and to do so from parameters that responded from a formal structure to the achievements that modern constitutionalism has achieved. We might think the world has changed. And with this change society and Justice has also undergone transformations. The panorama that we live offers us a desperate search for a model of Justice in w…
Singularidades y retos normativos en el control genético de la inmigración familiar hacia España, Italia y Portugal
2010
Resumen En Europa, varios paises han implementado las pruebas genéticas para controlar los flujos migratorios que cruzan sus fronteras por reagrupación familiar. Este artículo ofrece un análisis crítico sobre los riesgos del recurso generalizado a las pruebas genéticas en los procedimientos de reagrupación familiar en países como España, Italia y Portugal. De un lado, se plantea en qué modo se ha recogido su práctica en las normativas de extranjería y de otro lado se reflexiona sobre su posible incompatibilidad con la protección y garantías exigidas de los derechos fundamentales en el ámbito nacional e internacional es destacada. Abstract In Europe, many countries are using genetic testin…
