The Constitution of Latvia – A Bridge Between Traditions and Modernity
2019
The Latvian constitutional system is based on the principle of State continuity after the Soviet occupation, and this is reflected in the reinstatement of the 1922 Constitution (Satversme). Unlike other constitutions in the post-communist area, it is characterised as a laconic and predominantly procedural constitution. However, important amendments were introduced in 1996 and 1998, establishing the Constitutional Court and introducing a catalogue of fundamental rights. The constitutional culture has been influenced by German traditions in constitutional jurisprudence, and the adjudication of legislation on substantive grounds has been stringent. This is particularly evident in the annulment…

Human Rights in Romanian Courts: A European Perspective?
2016
The perception and application of the European Convention on Human Rights by various national jurisdictions depends fundamentally on the way in which the Convention has been introduced into national law, as well as, in some countries, by how constitutional jurisdictions shaped this relationship.

Integración: una cuestión de derechos
2010
This article achieves a comparative analysis between the Citizenship and Integration Programme (2007-2010) and the spanish Migration Bill Project. Firstly, it aims to analyze whether the concept of integration, as it was introduced as a general principle within the Migration Bill, is consistent with the concept of the Programme. Secondly, it is about to examine how the notion of integration affects some of the provisions, which are introduced by the law reform, especially on fundamental rights. Finally, this leads to assess the implications and strains between migration control policies and integration policies about migrants’.
Youth perceptions of violence against women through a sexist chant in the football stadium: an exploratory analysis
2017
Gender-based violence and violence against women (VAW) refers to any violation of fundamental rights. However, some forms of VAW are viewed as unproblematic, acceptable and deserved. Taking into account that sexist chants in football stadiums reinforce VAW, the purpose of the study is to determine how a group of adolescents can normalize or challenge an example of sexist chants. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted and the participants were asked to discuss to what extent the actions could be considered as gender-based violence. Most of the youth were highly unconscious of the sexist nature of the video and only a few recognized it as gender-based violence. Such awareness i…
La controvertida indemnización por lesión de los derechos fundamentales de las personas trabajadoras
2021
El reconocimiento y cuantificación de las indemnizaciones por vulneración de derechos fundamentales en el orden social de la jurisdicción ha sido, desde siempre, y por diferentes razones, una cuestión especialmente compleja. En ciertos casos ¿como sucede con la automaticidad del daño moral derivado de la violación del derecho fundamental- las contradicciones y vaivenes judiciales son ya un ¿clásico¿ en la materia; en otros, las dudas guardan relación con el significado y la repercusión que una incorporación legal efectuada por la LRJS -la finalidad preventiva de la indemnización- debe tener en la práctica judicial; y, finalmente, las discrepancias se refieren a la posibilidad misma de conce…
La Carta Social Europea y los derechos sociales emergentes: una aproximación al derecho de acceso a la información ambiental
2021
La protección de los derechos sociales constituye, hoy en día, un fin primordial, y en Europa, la Carta Social Europea Revisada juega un papel relevante como guardiana del modelo del Estado social, como verdadera Constitución Social de Europa y como el estándar de protección más elevado de los derechos sociales, en general, y de los derechos sociales emergentes, en particular. Así, resulta de especial interés estudiar el derecho de acceso a la información ambiental como derecho social emergente derivado, en gran parte, del genérico derecho a un medio ambiente sano. Este derecho se puede definir, en términos muy simples, como el derecho del público en general a recibir información relacionad…
