Il duplice movimento contrastante. Pace, conflitto e progresso in Jacques Maritain

2022

The article develops an analysis of Maritain's reflections on peace, in particular those carried out between 1946 and 1966. In the three parts of the contribution, the problems relating to the construction of a lasting peace among peoples are addressed. The war in Ukraine has forcefully returned to stir European consciences. The ideal position that Maritain assigns to the project of a world government through a supra-national democratic entity is remarkable. Project based on the spiritual and moral development of human conscience and on the will of peoples. The uselessness of war is linked to Maritain's Christian vision of history, in connection with the personalistic foundation of politics.

Populist parties in Europe, from propaganda to legal reforms: whether freedoms of expression, association and religion are under threat?

2018

The effect of the recent populist legislative tendencies results in sharpening new and old tensions between national and international legal orders and, in the European Union scenario, in particular, the most alarming outcome could be a potential and systematic breach of the European Convention on Human Rights and the liberal democratic values expressed in it. Regarding the argument of the enforcement, nevertheless, besides the importance of the international recommendations and soft law instruments, above all the EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief, it could be crucial the role that the religious leaders should perform towards a more inclusive int…

Perspectiva feminista como ética periodística en México

2021

La investigación tiene como propósito demostrar que la prensa feminista, debe ser considerada como herramienta en la promoción y defensa de los derechos humanos. Se desarrolló desde un enfoque cualitativo, examinando las investigaciones de cuatro reconocidas periodistas mexicanas. De los principales debates que se problematizan, se desprende que la prensa debe ser un ente vigilante de los grupos de poder. Al incluirse la perspectiva feminista en el periodismo, los mensajes que se transmiten contienen una significación práctica que intrínsecamente coadyuva en el reconocimiento de la dignidad de las mujeres. Visto lo anterior, se concluye que, en orden de construir sociedades más justas, quie…

?What ought we do?? and other questions

2020

Kant formulates the question “What ought I do?” as an agent’s question. This is not the only way in which practical reasoning can be approached. A great deal of contemporary work in ethics and political philosophy addresses different, often narrower, questions. Much of it focuses primarily on recipients rather than agents, and so on entitlements or rights rather than on requirements or duties to act, including most obviously discussions of human rights. I will consider some of the consequences and the advantages of starting from each of these questions, and some of the ways in which each shapes practical reasoning.

“Sicherungsverwahrung” (preventive detention) in Germany under the scrutiny of the ECHR

2020

The societal challenge how to deal with offenders deemed habitually dangerous, requires to balance needs for security of the general public with the human rights of the potential extreme dangerous offender. The prediction of future heavy crimes can never be precise. Hence, all measures infringing the rights of individuals deemed dangerous are very problematic from a human rights perspective. Germany uses “Sicherungsverwahrung” (preventive detention) to handle this challenge. The concept basically meant that after their prison-sentence, offenders deemed dangerous were kept in prison like conditions until they were not deemed dangerous anymore. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) inter…

Usos de lo psicosocial en la investigación y tratamiento de las intersexualidades/DSD*

2016

Desde el punto de vista médico, la ‘ambigüedad sexual’ en bebés recién nacidos ha sido catalogada como una urgencia psicosocial, que dispara un protocolo de diagnóstico e intervención —quirúrgica y hormonal— para “fijar” el sexo y “corregir” el cuerpo. Desde perspectivas sociales y críticas, se prefiere hablar de variabilidad sexual, es decir, de cuerpos sexuados que no encajan con las expectativas dualistas de lo que es considerado propio de un cuerpo de hombre o de un cuerpo de mujer, o en los que diferentes componentes del sexo —cromosómico, hormonal, gonadal o anatómico— no son coherentes. En las últimas décadas, ha surgido una fuerte controversia en torno a la intersexualidad y a la ne…
