Rights with limits: biocultural rights - between self-determination and conservation of the environment
2015
Kabir Bavikatte has recently argued that a new 'basket' of group rights is emerging from the interpretation of multilateral environmental agreements, domestic law and case law, and from shifts in the development discourse and the struggles of communities. He refers to this new set of rights as 'biocultural rights' and defines them as being all the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities required to secure their stewardship role over their lands and waters. Biocultural rights build on two foundations: the self-determination and cultural diversity of indigenous peoples and local communities, and the conservation of the environment. This article suggests that the second foundation i…

2018
La nueva Ley 39/2015 concibe a la Administración por defecto como e-Administración y da una vuelta de tuerca a la obligación de relacionarse por medios electrónicos.

Se analiza la posibilidad de imponer la relación electronicaelectrónica a través de norma reglamentaria bajo determinados requisitos y presupuestos materi…

The Regime of Restrictive Measures against Serious Violations and Abuses of Human Rights launched at the end of 2020 by the European Union is part of the Commission's objective to reaffirm the Union's firm commitment to promoting universal values and strengthening its leadership in this field. However, the first year of implementation of the regime casts doubt on its effectiveness, given the existence of legal loopholes that tarnish it.

Standard, estandarización y aplicación del artículo 102 TFUE a los conflictos sobre licencias relativas a derechos de propietad intelectual
2014
The standardization, de jure as well as de facto, gives rise to critical issues also in the field of antitrust law. Especially in recent years, the European case law and that of some member states have in particular dealt with the violation of the so-called FRAND commitments, which are undertaken by the holders of those patents that become essential for the implementation of the selected standard (Standard Essential Patents - SEPs). The EU Commission and the Courts have then several times applied the provisions on abuse of a dominant position to the attempt of the SEPs holders to prevent access to these patents by subjects that need them to operate in the downstream markets. The essay trace…

Transnational Struggle for Recognition: Axel Honneth on the Embodied Dignity of Stateless Persons
2021
In the last 15 years, scholars have increasingly applied Axel Honneth’s recognition theory to global issues such as justice, poverty, solidarity, peace, cosmopolitanism, and climate change. UNHCR estimates that there are currently 12 million stateless people worldwide. Their citizenship rights and human rights are mis-recognized. As humans, their human rights and human dignity should be protected. However, this requires being a citizen of a state, which, by definition, excludes stateless people. Although representing a fairly large group among today’s irregular migrants, within the above Honneth scholarship, statelessness is seldom investigated. And if being explored, the primary focus is r…
