Gender Equality Perceptions of Future Engineers

Gender bias is important in our society not only from the point of view of ethics and human rights but also from a pragmatic engineering point of view. Universities are aware of this issue and deve...
Educación diferenciada por razón de sexo en España: Reflexiones sobre los derechos y libertades educativas desde la perspectiva constitucional y de l…
2021
Gender-separate education, understood as a pedagogical model that provides separate schooling for boys and girls, has been subject to legal and public scrutiny for the past thirty years. Nonetheless, it has not been until 2018 that this educational option was put into the spotlight, especially regarding its constitutionality and compatibility with arts. 1.1, 9.2 and 14 of the Spanish Constitution, which constitute a manifestation of the principles of equality and non-discrimination, while at the same time trying to balance it with art. 27 of said constitutional text, with respect to the right to education and freedom to choose and create educational centers. Against this backdrop, the prese…
Estado de derecho y práctica de los derechos humanos
2016
This article is divided in two parts. In the first one it faces the concepts of (and relationship between) the rule of law and human rights. In the second one, this topic will be analyzed from the point of view of the evolution of law, what implies also the evolution of the rule of law. In the first part, the aim is to show that rule of law and human rights are two different but complementary practices, both able to realize different aspects of justice, both necessary for the success of law. The rule of law regards the way of decision making for coordination; human rights aim for the protection of fundamental interests of human beings. In different points these two practices interact, but i…
Modificazioni germinali del patrimonio genetico e biodiritto. I paradossi della de-differenziazione tra bioetica e biodiritto
2021
Il presente lavoro, incominciato nel novembre del 2017, è partito con l'ambizione di ricostruire la risposta che il sistema giuridico fornisce innanzi alle nuove tecniche di ingegneria genetica che, a fronte della loro applicabilità sugli esseri umani, hanno prodotto, negli ultimi anni, il sorgere di nuovi stakeholders e, ancor prima, di nuovi interessi meritevoli di tutela. Se fino a qualche anno fa pareva impensabile modificare il genoma umano e, men che meno, farlo in maniera precisa, efficiente ed economica, oggi grazie al sistema di modificazione genetica CRISPR/Cas9 è possibile, intervenendo sulla linea germinale degli embrioni umani, prevenire la contrazione di odiose malattie geneti…

Questioning Human Rights: The Case of Education for Children and Youth with Disabilities in Ethiopia
2016
This chapter focuses on the politics of education as a basic human right. We analyze the challenges and opportunities implied in realizing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and operationalizing the human rightsbased approach to disability (HRBAD) with a case study on the inclusion of children and youth with disabilities in the regular education system of Ethiopia. The existing situation is highlighted with lived experiences of persons with disabilities and comments by organisations of persons with disabilities, education professionals, and government officials who were interviewed between August and October 2013 in Ethiopia. When successful, the HRBAD and its critica…

Derecho antidiscriminatorio y protección de los colectivos en situación de vulnerabilidad en las constituciones de Ecuador de 2008 y de Bolivia de 20…
2019
El sujeto político que protagonizó los procesos constituyentes de Bolivia y Ecuador no estaba conformado por un partido obrero clásico sino por la agregación de múltiples movimientos o luchas de grupos en situación de vulnerabilidad. Esta naturaleza del sujeto constituyente determinó que la forma de constitucionalismo social emergente no se basara, como el europeo, en la subjetivación del trabajo y reconocimiento de derechos vinculados al trabajosalario, sino en la visibilización de los grupos sociales hasta ahora excluidos y en su inclusión a la ciudadanía. Ello explica que se traten de textos muy ricos en referencias y mecanismos para el reconocimiento y garantía de los derechos específic…

Prevention of hate speech crimes: digital versus real-life environment
2022
Extending the use of social media and other digital networks, as well as technology development and the impact of the pandemic have raised the problem of how to prevent hateful speech from occurring. Limitations on hate speech closely correlate with restriction of freedom of speech, therefore balance between the two should be met to ensure both fundamental democratic right on the freedom of speech, as well as to restrict limitations on one’s honour, dignity and safety. To answer whether mechanisms for combating the crimes of hate speech in the digital environment are as effective as they are in a real-life situation, the author analyses the international (United Nations) and Council of Euro…
