The right to protection against poverty and social exclusion as a paradigm of respect for human dignity. The integration of the minimum vital income …
2020
La efectividad del derecho a la protección contra la pobreza y la exclusión social constituye la tarea más excelsa del jurista, tendente a conseguir el objetivo último de la Justicia y el respeto de la Dignidad Humana. Con tal premisa, en primer lugar, el autor defiende que tal derecho, por su carácter multifacético, ilustra de manera paradigmática el carácter indivisible de todos los derechos humanos. En segundo término, el artículo analiza la progresiva consolidación de los estándares internacionales (universales y europeos) en el ámbito de la erradicación de la pobreza y la exclusión social, poniendo el acento en el papel crucial del artículo 30 de la Carta Social Europea y de la jurispr…
Estado de derecho y práctica de los derechos humanos
2015
Esta contribución está dividida en dos partes. En la primera se tratará de los conceptos de estado de derecho y derechos humanos, así como de la relación entre ambos. En la segunda parte se observará el tema dentro del marco de la evolución del derecho, que lleva necesariamente a la evolución del estado de derecho. En la primera, el objetivo es mostrar que estado de derecho y derechos humanos suponen dos prácticas distintas pero complementarias, ambas capaces de realizar aspectos diversos de la justicia, ambas necesarias para que se pueda decir que un sistema jurídico es exitoso. El estado de derecho se coloca en el contexto de las modalidades de realización de decisiones comunes necesarias…
Educar jugando y dialogando. Derechos de la infancia, intencionalidad, familia y lenguaje
2019
[EN] The article reviews the rights that contribute to the achievement of a happy life from childhood and seizes on the key elements that seek dignity in order to develop happiness. First, the role of the family in setting up personal identity and security, and in establishing personal relationships. Second, the integral personal training and the education in the development of the critical sense and freedom for responsible exercise, as well as the ability to understand, express and communicate to improve or overcome problematic situations. Finally, gambling, as a basic tool of enjoyment in childhood, and, at the same time, learning in the two previous domains, sometimes unique complement o…
Fight against social exclusion and poverty. The necessary ratification in spain of the revised european social charter and its additional protocol pr…
2021
El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo presentar la pobreza y la exclusión social como una vulneración de los derechos humanos, a través del análisis del artículo 30 de la Carta Social Europea revisada y de parte de la jurisprudencia emanada del Comité Europeo de Derechos Sociales. Dicha norma, sin ratificar aún por España, supondría un refuerzo del sistema de protección de los derechos sociales en nuestro país que pasa por una preocupante situación social, dados los alarmantes niveles de pobreza que aún persisten The main objective of this paper is to present poverty and social exclusion as a violation of human rights, through the analysis of article 30 of the revised European S…

Peace as a Priority
2012
Chapter 9 underlines how since its inception the European Union has presented itself to the world as a great “peace project”. The European project consists in creating a “community of peace and democracy” based on the conviction that peace does not emerge from dissuasion but rather out of cooperation. Europe attempts to remodel the world by realising the Kantian dream of “perpetual peace”, which is not based on the balance of military powers (or the supremacy of one of them) but rather on the universal recognition of the dignity of the human being, on the universal guarantee of human rights, and on sustainable human development, which means superseding the current neoliberal model of global…
Ecological Justice in the Anthropocene: A Proposal
2019
The power created by technoscience during the 20th century has turned human beings into global ecological agents. In the face of this challenge, unique in the history of humankind, there are three answers that have been proposed: to accelerate the process of human control over nature (technocratic paradigm); to revert the present situation to a previous stage in which nature recovers its independence from human beings (decrecentism); and to maintain the current system with some measures to solve the side effects (ecocapitalism). The technocratic paradigm does not recognize the value and limits of nature. Decrecentism ignores the duty of using technology to provide more dignified, decent lif…
Slaveries and New Slaveries: Which Role for Human Dignity?
2020
This paper aims at reflecting on the role of the notion of "human dignity" with respect to slavery and new slaveries. First of all, a very brief reflection is carried out on the different legal meanings of the notion at stake in general terms (para. 2). On this basis, some remarks are developed with specific regard to the role played by dignity concerning new slaveries in the case law of international tribunals (European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights, International Criminal Court, International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia: paras 3 and 4), particularly in the very recent case law of the European Court (para. 5) Such a role is far from being insignificant: the idea…
Antigone, today
2020
The tragedy of Antigone revolves around the theme of conflict. Both the version written by Sophocles and the one by Jean Anouilh are mainly focused on conflicts. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is real and symbolic at the same time. It is the conflict between a woman’s body and the law, between women’s and men’s conditions, between two anthropologies. It is also a conflict between two opposite ethical perspectives, and two opposite political visions. It is the conflict between the rule of individuals and the rule of laws, between non-violence and violence, social responsibility and individual egoism, and self-identification and identity. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is th…
Nowhere Home: The Waiting of Vulnerable Child Refugees
2020
In her 2012 documentary Nowhere Home, filmmaker Margreth Olin sheds light on the vulnerabilities and injurabilities of child migrants subjected to prolonged waiting. The documentary shows unaccompanied minors being offered only temporary residence and thus identifies why these irregular migrants can be characterized as ‘particularly vulnerable’ by having their childhoods put on hold. Although the concept is contested, I conceive vulnerability as based on humans’ existential precondition in terms of something bodily and enabling. Due to child refugees’ particular vulnerability, prolonged waiting can violate their inherent dignity, bodily health, life quality and human rights. Therefore, in l…
