The article seeks to show to what extent the fundamental rights of the faithful constitute a significant argument for universal juridical culture, that is, an application of universal juridical principles, especially with regard to human rights. To this end, common grounds are identified between the field of the fundamental rights of the faithful and that of human rights: the natural dignity of the person elevated to the supernatural order, the application of a univocal concept of law. The possible reciprocal influences between the two spheres are also explored, highlighting the importance of an objective and ontological vision of law, such as that provided by canon law, for an adequate culture of human rights; and the need to strengthen in the Church the positive impulse that can come from this culture, particularly the achievements of juridical civilization in the procedural and penal spheres. The article concludes by highlighting the essence of right as a juridical good that is implicit in the notion of personal rights, and the distinction between concrete juridical goods and fundamental juridical goods of an abstract nature.

Throughout history - from Roman times to the present - there have been numerous examples of how important the legal profession is for society. In every proceeding they are involved in and noble cause they champion, legal professionals contribute to protecting not only their clients' interests, but also those of society as a whole. From an individual's law of the skill (lex artis) to collective responsibility, and from the specifics of a case to the more generalised search for justice, the legal profession's role in society has been evident for centuries, to the extent that it is now an essential component of the principle of effective judicial protection. Bar associations have also contributed by ensuring that lawyers are able to exercise their legally established mandate freely and independently while ensuring that the rules of law and professional conduct are complied with.

Sexual orientation and gender identity are fundamental aspects of every individual's life, protected within the framework of human rights. Unfortunately, both categories persist as recurring grounds for discrimination, violence, and oppression, at times perpetuated even by normative regulations. In this context, education plays a crucial role in emphasizing values such as coexistence, diversity, cooperative learning, and empathy to prevent heterosexism. Educators, therefore, must have training that ensures the creation of safe, reliable, and protective learning environments for all students. It is imperative that every student has the right to develop and socialize without fear of exclusion. The focus of this study is to analyze the consensus and acceptance among experts regarding the factors influencing gender identity in the educational context, using the neutrosophic statistical method. As a result, it was concluded that a reform of current regulations is necessary, coupled with the implementation of human rights training programs, to eradicate deeply rooted prejudices.

The First Latin American Communication Congress CIESPAL FELAFACS, held last year, brought together more than 500 participants, including prominent academics. 75 presentations were addressed on various topics related to contemporary communication and its challenges towards 2030. The thematic axes included communication and human rights, contemporary communication practices, epistemology of communication from the south, among others. The Quito Declaration, arising from the congress, presents a work agenda until 2030. This edition delves into these topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relationship between Ignacio Ellacuría's "historicization of concepts" and Paulo Freire's "dialogicity" is analyzed, reflecting on their application in the teaching of history and social sciences. A qualitative methodology centered on the critical analysis of the texts of both authors is used, applying their theories to pedagogy. The historicization of concepts allows for a dynamic reinterpretation of the foundations of justice, freedom, and human rights, highlighting the relevance of understanding and teaching these fields from a critical perspective that stimulates awareness and social action. Dialogicity emerges as an essential tool for liberating education, emphasizing the value of dialogue, collaboration, and critical reflection. The analysis concludes that the integration of these theoretical approaches provides a solid foundation for a pedagogy that not only transmits knowledge but also empowers students to be agents of social change, emphasizing the importance of addressing the teaching of history and social sciences from a perspective that prioritizes transformation and social justice.

Resumen: En los dos decenios siguientes a la adopción del Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, la OIT aplicó un enfoque realista al defender que el ejercicio de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo (SST) como derecho fundamental pasaba por garantizar ciertas condiciones económicas previas. El presente estudio histórico‐comparativo pasa revista a la actuación de la OIT en ese contexto, a la luz del nuevo complejo de incertidumbre sanitaria mundial y de la incorporación de la SST al marco de principios y derechos fundamentales en el trabajo. Se analiza también la aplicabilidad de un enfoque de realismo vigilante a la labor actual de la OIT en este campo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To analyse the recognition of the health rights of migrants in Chile in the health regulatory framework. Materials and methods. A sequential mixed methodology study. The qualitative phase included a documentary analysis of 37 instruments published up to the year 2021, on health actions aimed at the migrant population. Through content analysis, specific elements of the rights-based approach were identified. The quantitative phase included a descriptive analysis of hospital discharges, health insurance and health problems in the last three months. Data were obtained from publicly available databases. Results. Chile has progressively developed the implementation of the right to health for migrants. In turn, there is a reduction of gaps in the three indicators: no health insurance (15.8% 2017 vs. 10.9% 2020), hospital admissions without health insurance (25.5% 2014 vs. 6.6% 2020) and not having received medical care for a perceived health problem in the last three months (11.8% 2015 vs. 8.6% 2020). Conclusion. Although Chile is an example of progressive advance in the implementation of the right to health for migrants, there are still pending elements in terms of effective inclusion.

Since the "derechohumanista" reform to the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States of 2011, rules and principles have been incorporated that enhance the obligation for all Mexican authorities (including educational authorities) to promote, respect, protect, and guarantee human rights. Therefore, rebuilding educational processes on issues of gender violence is urgent and mandatory. But what has been the evolution of the right to education in Mexican constitutionalism? Knowing this progress is enriching and clarifying to understand how it has become a fundamental right. Furthermore, addressing this problem is essential to raise awareness of the evolution of the constitutional systems of the 19th and 20th centuries, and this will allow us to contextualize the problems of gender violence that currently exist in socioeducational communities. The objective of this article focuses on visualizing the historical and current perspectives that exist in the educational community on gender issues; with this, it will be possible to establish whether the Mexican legal provisions eliminating gender violence are complied with. As methodological validation, a survey instrument was applied to undergraduate students at the Autonomous University of Coahuila randomly. The results show the perspective of the students regarding the "relationship of gender violence in the educational community" and the "recognition of processes and products that eliminate gender violence". The above allows us to conclude that, from the perspective of the students, constitutional bodies turn out to be (mandatory) tools in education that eliminate gender violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this essay is to describe the (non)observance of state obligations regarding the legal security of housing awarded through the Great Housing Mission Venezuela (GHVV). The review is carried out from the human rights-based approach (HRBA) because it places people as rights holders and the State as the main bearer of obligations. The analysis highlights the existence of a regulation, of varying relevance, that is supposed to be aimed at protecting the human right to adequate housing, especially for low-income families, which coexists with situations that represent risks to the effective realization of its purposes, such as limitations on the ownership of real estate and complaints of forced evictions and discrimination based on political affiliation or nationality [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To achieve a search based on the qualitative approach, it becomes of vital interest to study transitional justice and the impact it has on the economic, social and cultural rights of the victims of the armed conflict. This article begins with a delimited discussion of "fiscal sustainability and its impact on the decisions issued by the Superior Court of Bogota, Justice and Peace Chamber". Then, a concrete case is taken to analyze it in detail and reach conclusions in accordance with the topic studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intergenerational transmission of textile practices among women are considered a strong reclaiming statement. Currently, textiles practices have been recognized as social struggle manifestations that favor the development of a human rights culture, allowing the expression of communities 'without a voice'. This article examines the emergence of textile artivism linked to recent socio-political conflicts in Latin America, emphasizing the role of women as promoters of these projects. Mil agujas por la Dignidad, a platform and textile community emerged in 2019 as a response to human rights violations in Chile, has been analyzed to understand how digital technologies favour the dissemination of textile calls, and the connection between women through feminist meetings. This research proposes that textile practices are a form of resistance art, activated simultaneously in various spaces due to their political nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the protection of victims of forced migration from the perspective of the philosophy of law and international human rights law. On the one hand, it focuses on the origin and philosophical-legal foundations of human dignity and its practical requirements as a legal principle. Understood in this sense, dignity is considered as the foundation of the most basic human rights; and implies universally enforceable legal prerogatives in favor of all persons, by the mere fact of their human nature; and without considering exogenous factors, such as origin or nationality. Within this context, fundamental notions such as ius communcationis, or the right of sociability of human beings and hospitality, which entail a common use of the universal land within the comunitas orbis or universal community, are recovered. It is concluded that, despite the efforts and the many legal instruments that exist in this regard, and which are based on the dignity of the individual, the protection afforded to them in practice is not sufficient. The reason for this lies in several factors, in particular, in the fact that although human dignity can be considered as the basis for the recognition of human rights on equal terms, its scope is limited to the most fundamental rights, such as life or the prohibition of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment, but does not imply more specific rights such as freedom of movement or residence.

In this paper, the problematic aspects of the thesis that bases human rights on the dignity of the person are presented. Following the metaphysics of the person of Thomas Aquinas, the ontological consistency referred to in this term is studied. Then the ideological inspiration of both modern «human rights» and Kantian ballast dignity is reviewed. The elements of natural rights that still exist in modern human rights theory are based on human nature, not directly and exclusively in the ontological dignity of the person. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The historical moment we are living through is characterized, among other issues, by a surprising acceleration of dynamics that are self-destructive to peaceful coexistence. Humanity is called upon to face great challenges that, probably and naively, were considered to have been overcome. In this context, it becomes once again urgent to reflect on the crucial function of the legal system and, in more general terms, on the basis and requirement of law. Starting from the conceptions of two illustrious thinkers -Arthur Kaufmann and Hans Jonas-we shall propose a practical and concrete philosophical itinerary which aims to restore the due importance of certain characteristics of human rights for a humanity in crisis.

A Truth Commission (TC) was carried out in Brazil (2012-2014) to investigate human rights violations perpetrated by state agents, especially during the military dictatorship (1964-1985). TCs are supposed to help societies on the reconstruction of social cohesion after authoritarian or violent periods. We conducted three studies with undergraduate students and adult samples between 2014 and 2017. Evaluating the TC as effective was related to higher punctuations on the variables of social cohesion, even controlling the effects of political positioning. The TC effectiveness perception was associated with the emotional reaction (both, negative or positive) and a positive attitude towards remembering the past. Nonetheless, we found some different results across the three studies. These differences are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to address the main changes and transformations of lgbti activism at the subnational level in Mexico that were effective in persuading decision makers and achieving the institutionalization of the rights of sexual minorities in adverse contexts, where there is a strong presence of sectors conservatives of the Catholic Church and political parties who openly implemented actions in order to oppose its recognition. Starting from a case analysis with an emphasis on tracking processes, it is argued that the recognition and institutionalization of the main lgbti demands were achieved, among other things, by qualitative, symbolic and discourse changes that occurred within the activism. Particularly in populations such as the trans, which historically was an invisible stratum and with a marginal position in activism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Intermediaries are professionals who enable the effective right of access to justice for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, ensuring principles of equity, participation, accessibility and self-determination for them. This paper analyzes the presence and formative background of this figure from an international comparative perspective. Nowadays, we can find these professionals in the international law across different countries: some Nordic countries, United Kingdom, Israel, Azerbaijan, Taiwan, South Africa, Kenya, Canada, part of the USA, Mexico and Chile, Australia and New Zealand. In Spain, intermediaries are considered in the latest reform of the civil and procedural legislation (Law 8/2021, June the 2nd). This paper analyzes the formative background of this figure from an international comparative perspective. We find both formal and non-formal education in the background of these professionals. There is no doubt their profile must adjust to the needs of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the contexts that require the facilitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Currently, the work of universities for gender equality and inclusion is recognized as a necessity. The diversity of the university community, the need to advance in gender and the presence of various manifestations of violence are evident. The aim of this work is to analyze the main achievements, obstacles and challenges in the promotion of gender equality in higher education institutions in the south-southeast of Mexico. The meetings and disagreements when working on social inclusion and the challenges that joint work brings with it are highlighted. The methodology is phenomenology. The techniques were: semi-structured interviews with 5 institutional gender equality representatives from different mexican universities. Additionally, a content analysis of various institutional documents was developed. Various advances in gender equality are evident. The main challenges are linked to the need to ensure progress to mainstream and institutionalize the gender perspective. In relation to inclusion, it is evident that the advances are very incipient. The work has focused on attention to gender violence due to its severity and magnitude. Working on inclusion within universities, under the framework of human rights, is a relatively recent task. The conceptual deficiencies in relation to inclusion, the difficulties in meeting the needs and for the operability in the face of the diversity of problems to be addressed are discussed. Some challenges are posed to favor a comprehensive approach promoting the construction of spaces for reflection, analysis and decision-making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Mexico, in the last two decades, there has been an increase in the activism of a sector of the LGBTTTIQ+ community struggling for the rights of people living with HIV (PLHIV). This article aims to explore the causes of this phenomenon, understanding that this process should not be explained only by gender-related variables, because it is rooted in the precariousness of living conditions within the framework of heteronormativity and determined by changes in the economic structure of society in a particular historical context. To do this, participant observation and interviews with activists belonging to groups in the political struggle for sexual diversity were used, as well as documental research. The results show the relations between discrimination and homophobia with the social structure, as a component of displacements in political activism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Intersexuality includes extremely rare conditions where a person is born with a sexual anatomy different from the male-female binary; this supposes inhabiting a body outside the intelligible, configuring a stigma. Historically and from the heteronorm, the biomedical model has sought to surgically normalize them in order to precociously and arbitrarily assign a gender in harmony with genitality. From Human Rights, these practices have been questioned by Intersex groups. Materials and method: During the years 2019 and 2020, case studies were carried out through in-depth interviews with two adult users of the Urology and Endocrinology Polyclinics of a public hospital at Santiago, Chile; Husserl's phenomenology was used to visualize the phenomenon according to how it is experienced by the subjects who carry it, using the procedure described by Colaizzi as an information analysis plan. Results: Main and overlapping units of meaning were recognized, whose essences allowed describing the phenomenon of: being a child and inhabiting the hospital space, currently living with the condition, and the experience of using the health system as an adult, with new and own meanings. Conclusions: Various agency strategies were identified both in the hospital space and in everyday life, through a personal and silent process of learning about the implications of being intersex.

The scientific and political interests of the legal philosophers Gregorio Peces-Barba (1938-2012) and Norberto Bobbio (1909-2004) are reflected in over 70 letters written between 1978 and 2004, i.e. in the years when in Spain entered into force the new democratic constitution. A recurring theme of this correspondence is the different approach, in both countries, to the coexistence between socialism and democracy as well as with communism and eurocommunism. The result is a lively picture of the Bobbio's relationship with the Spanish politicians. The present essay includes also some sentences of seminal relevance taken from the letters of each of the two, as well as Peces-Barba's words commemorating Bobbio's death in the Spanish press: words testifying not only the political affinity, but also the personal affection of both scholars.

Throughout its evolution, every theory usually faces certain challenges that prove its vitality. The discourse of rights, as a theoretical conception aimed at its explanation and foundation, is not exempt from the permanent task aimed at responding to these challenges. This essay analyzes the risks that are considered most decisive and pressing for the discourse of rights. To this end, three current challenges to the theory of rights are studied and three responses to them are suggested. Eleaticism, particularism and posthumanism are considered the main challenges facing reflection on rights today. The response to these attitudes is constituted by historicism, universalism and humanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The journal "Derechos y Libertades" invites us to provide our opinion on the challenges currently facing the discourse on human rights. The question posed leads us to consider the historical context of the very concept of human rights, which cannot be grounded solely on abstract reasoning but rather on an evolving, diverse, and intercultural understanding of both humanity and society. Challenges to this concept have always existed and are multifaceted, yet perhaps now we find ourselves at a moment characterized by significant technological advancements and energy transitions. This situation calls for an ethical, political, and juridical approach to address the emerging social conflicts resulting from their application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text analyses the socio-environmental conflict in the village of Pirgua. At the same time, the research defines the causes that give rise to it, and proposes a public policy that allows establishing a model for how to take on the great social and environmental challenges. The analysis of the research is given by the characterisation of a social phenomenon (conflict) by means of the three-stage methodological model; analysis of the conflict, legitimacy of action and the actors within the conflict and, finally, the conflict within a central conflict (Fontaine, 2004). The investigation found that there exists a concentration of negative environmental burdens that are generating opposing relationships between the community that inhabits the village versus the institutions and private companies that manage the burdens. This tension is mainly caused by inadequate territorial planning and ignorance of the approaches that recognise human rights within the notion of development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between 2018 and 2023, the Spanish Supreme Court has reversed its doctrine in relation to the binding nature of the opinions of the committees created under the international human rights treaties. These treaties recognise and protect, at the international level, human rights in the civil, political, economic and social spheres. The Kingdom of Spain is a State-party to these treaties. As such, any individual who considers that his or her rights have been violated can file a complaint against the Kingdom of Spain before the committee created by the specific treaty that codifies them. Under this procedure, the committees draw up opinions on whether or not the Kingdom of Spain has failed to comply with the obligations assumed under any of these treaties. However, there is no legal provision, either in these treaties or in Spanish law, that enables a procedure to enforce an opinion favourable to the victim's claim for reparation. Additionally, at the international level, these opinions are not binding per se. In this scenario, this article analyses whether, under international and Spanish law, these opinions are binding in the Spanish legal system, as well as whether they suffice to prove public authority liability arising from the violation of a right -- as declared by a treaty body -- that the treaties recognise and protect.

Hate speech has the potential to foster prejudices and negative stereotypes towards those social groups that are the target of these attacks, undermining the guiding principles of democracy, such as: inclusion, equality and human rights. This social phenomenon can spread insidiously through political discourses in the media and digital platforms. To address this issue, this article has proposed the implementation of educommunicative strategies aimed at mitigating its detrimental effects of hate speech. The methodological design involves the content analysis of news published by international agencies from January 1 to December 31, 2022, related to the discourse of the then president of Brazil's right-wing Jair Bolsonaro of Venezuela's left-wing Nicolas Maduro. The results highlight that these populist politicians consistently resort to the rhetorical technique of demonization in their speeches. As a result, a series of educommunicative strategies aimed at fostering the development of a critical conscience in the citizenry through the creation of new didactic scenarios have been identified.

Individual freedoms pose a real challenge in the process of Morocco's national and international legitimation. On a legal level, they are the object of widely varying constitutional reforms. In addition, they raise concerns because of the fragile balance on a domestic stage where the religious legitimacy of the king faces competition from conservative political trends, but also in relation to a straitjacketing international environment. Between the constitutions of 1992, which recognises the universality of human rights, and 2011, which enshrines individual freedoms, this legal dynamic is struggling to be reflected in legislation, an indication of both political caution and law update.

The current globalized world enables countless benefits for humanity, through technological development, communication, exchange between economies, cultures and creeds, the reduction of distances, among other factors. But there is no real access by all people to the resources of this world, or recognition of the value of otherness. Tensions, conflicts and wars mark the current era of globalization, excluding a large portion of humanity from the right to live with freedom, equality and dignity. This article analyzes how the encyclical Fratelli tutti proposes hospitality, citizenship and fraternity as fundamental to overcoming ambiguities and contradictions in a globalized world. The method is a qualitative analysis of the concepts of hospitality, citizenship and fraternity in Fratelli tutti, in relation to similar studies. The conclusion is that it is only on the horizon of fraternity that the existing contradictions in today's humanity can be overcome. For this, the practice of hospitality and citizenship is urgent, giving all people the right to inhabit this world. Thus, hospitality and citizenship are essential for the globalization of solidarity and the construction of a world of fratelli tutti. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work seeks to investigate the political and pedagogical perspectives regarding the rights of boys, girls and adolescents that are included in the curricular design of the Primary Education Teachers of the province of Río Negro, with the aim of making contributions to this educational policy under than what is established by the current national, regional and international requirements regarding Human Rights. To do this, we will focus the analysis on the following components of the curricular document: foundation and pedagogical political framework; profile of the graduate; educational purposes of the career; curriculum box; and, level of updating and theoreticalepistemological adaptation of said components to current standards. It is expected to contribute to the prioritization of children's rights as specific contents to be addressed during the training of primary level teachers in the jurisdiction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The evolution of the electoral results obtained in recent years by far-right parties, in more than half of the coun- tries of the European Union, raises some fears and represents a normal concern about the possible threat that the present and future policies that these parties can implement, translate into a limiting effect on the fundamental rights of the population. It is possible to find some answers in the analy- sis of the measures carried out by the mem- ber countries in the area of social policy, particularly in relation to those that promote or inhibit the social inclusion of the most vulnerable groups (by reducing the budget items of this section), and especially of the immigrant population. It is curious to observe how, apart from Poland and Hungary, the greatest boom is occurring in social democratic countries (Sweden and Finland), Mediterranean (Italy) and continental (France) and the smallest, in liberal countries (the United Kingdom).

The 2030 Agenda introduces an inclusive and transactional approach to disability, overcoming traditional and welfare models. The Social Model of disability, improved by the Covention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CDPD) and Human Rights, introduced a perspective of citizenship and support for autonomy and independent living of disabilities persons. This current approach to disability, the public policy instruments, and public institutions promote it have no place in the discourse and ideology of the extreme rights parties. This article analyzes the contributions of the 2030 Agenda y CDPD to disability and compare them with the programs and ideology of extreme rights parties in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An administration worthy of the adjec- tive “public” must incorporate the cons- truction and guarantee of Human Rights into its organization, resources, and purpose. In fact, Human Rights serve as the glue or connecting element between citizenship, politics, and administrative organization. The perspective of radical populist right-wing ideology regarding ad- ministration and Human Rights, anchored in its winning formula (xenophobia, authorita- rian and conservative orientation in values, and neoliberalism in economic matters), allows for several conclusions: first, there is a preference for strengthening the national level of government, impacting the system of intergovernmental relations; second, a national management of major global processes and threats, fueled by distrust in international institutions; third, a reinforce- ment of policies and areas related to internal order and the restriction of illegal immigration; fourth, a negative bias towards public management of welfare policies, seen as costly and demobilizing for the citizenry; fifth, an excessive trust in the market as an instrument for generating social well-being; and, finally, a preference for the public guarantee of some individual rights with a relative disregard for the guarantee of social rights.

More than three decades have passed since revolutions swept through Eastern Europe, Germany was reunified, the Baltic countries reestablished their independence, and the Soviet Union disintegrated. In 1992 it seemed that the East-West conflict had come to an end in a true spirit of cooperation. Antagonistic bipolarity had given way to a new world order. In 2023 we are in a more fragmented world, with new social and political tensions and with new leaders who seek to change previously established consensuses. Extremist positions are normalized, making necessary a critical vision of the quality of contemporary political systems, valuing the perspective of Human Rights, the duty of word and duty of memory, so as not to forget the crises of the dawn of the 20th century. with such a high number of victims. Genuine democracy must foster great attempts at encounter, conciliation, closeness and alliance, as the only context for human rights, citizen participation, social cohesion and peace.

This article arises from different dialogues on the historicization of human rights in articulation with public policies and social movements. We understood necessary to make a historical journey that would allow us to look at the different axes of development that have had the Human Rights from the Virginia Declaration of Rights (adopted in 1776) through key moments such as the Industrial Revolution, the emergence of the UN, among others.of the UN, among others. This leads us to analyze the different themes and groups that have been the focus of pacts, conferences and conventions on human rights: women, dissidents, indigenous peoples, childhood, health, mental health, environment, as the most significant. As well as understanding the impacts of these in our country, Argentina. The questions that guide this work are: What are international organizations? How do they influence us? What are international documents? Why are they important? What impact do they have on people's health and wellbeing? In what historical moments have they been presented and how this has influenced them? What repercussions have they had on public policies? What is the articulation between public policies and social movements?. We understand that the last two questions do not have complete answers, but only outlines some aspects that we have considered important to have in mind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By means of this paper, we will try to give an account of the specificity of Therapeutic Accompaniment in the community, understanding this as a mean that offers tools for prevention and promotion of mental health. To do so, we will delimit and describe the work carried out in the N.G.O. Psicologías Sin fronteras, in the device called "Carpas de Salud Mental" (Mental Health Tents), which aims at accompanying the communities in the transition through the mental health demands that may exist, generating a transformation in their realities and fostering autonomous decisions in relation to the health/illness/attention. We will take, as a reference, the participatory understood investigation from the community, as a democratic model of knowledge production, which involves the active participation of its members, encouraging community autonomy, understanding the latter as a fundamental pillar in terms of human rights.

The Human Rights Committee’s decisión regarding the case Billy et. al. v. Australia (22 September 2022) marks the first time that the Committee has recognised human rights violations as a result of the climate change crisis. Specifically, it recognises the violation of two articles of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the right to a private and family life without interference (article 17) and the right to the protection of minorities (article 27) by the Australian State. The analysis of this case elaborates on some of the main obstacles to climate litigation through human rights, with a particular focus on the right to life (article 6). This decision by the Committee may have been influenced by developments in climate justice, focusing on the situation of the most vulnerable groups, such as Torres Strait Islanders.

Spain's regional governments assume legal guardianship of unaccompanied non-national minors who are deprived of parental care. Article 35.11 of Basic Law 4/2000 of 11 January on the rights, freedoms and social integration of non-nationals in Spain ("Basic Law 4/2000") introduced an innovative mechanism through which "non-governmental organisations, foundations and entities committed to child protection" can assume such guardianship if the General State Administration and the regional governments sign agreements to that effect. But that provision does not stipulate what these agreements should contain and how they should be regulated, providing only minimal detail. Nor are there administrative precedents or case law on how article 35.11 of Basic Law 4/2000 is to be interpreted or applied. This article aims to identify the essential elements for this mechanism to function and be legally viable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Latin American Integration Route (RILA) is a road corridor under implementation that will link the transport infrastructure of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) to the ports of Northern Chile, passing through Paraguay and Argentina. This project has already resulted in intense socioeconomic transformations. This research aims to offer an overview of migrants in MS and the current governance on this agenda. The hypothesis is that the completion of this international road corridor has positive and negative impacts on the situation of migrants. After the analysis, we appointed that MS has public policies aimed at migration that encompass areas of access to rights and governance. In addition, to having good practices that help migrants access information, the State, through the Fundação do Trabalho, disseminates and assists in job vacancies for these individuals. However, it is fundamental to keep improving these policies through transversality and cooperation between government sectors. Therefore, continuous improvement in the training of civil servants, alliances with the private sector to make jobs available, and policies for welcoming people with education, language courses, and access to rights are essential.

The Latin American Integration Route (RILA) and the Bioceánico Corridor emerge as important integration initiatives that can bring significant benefits to the countries through which the Corridor passes, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile, in the economic field, based on the context of economic human rights, to observe the behavior of agents, and their compliance with the values of decent living conditions. In this context, this article aimed to analyze the right of integration into the RILA and the Bioceânico Corridor, seeking to understand the legal and institutional aspects involved, with a focus on the economic impact. The proposed methodology is descriptive-qualitative, carried out through an integrative literature review, in which the following databases were used: Scielo, Scopus and Web of Science, which resulted in a total of 12 articles. Secondary data resulting from the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Institute of Applied Economic Research (Ipea) were also collected, which resulted in probabilities, providing different challenges such as: taxation rates between countries, reduction of protectionism, corruption, integration of universities and exchange. For Porto Murtinho and Carmelo Peralta, the expectation is that with the growth of the logistical flow and exports, the per capita income will increase and leverage social improvements in the municipalities.

From the hermeneutics of suspicion, this article explores how the critical theory of human rights inspired the Latin American perspective of emancipation, which questions the conventional, Eurocentric universalism of human rights. A causal and philosophical-legal investigation is developed, based on the methodology of documentary analysis of bibliographic sources. The research identifies three key tools in Latin American thought that have influenced the devaluation of the imposed vision of human rights: emancipation ideologies, culture and literature. It shows how there have been various social and cultural movements that promote said emancipation. Finally, the research opens new lines of study on the viability of establishing a Latin American culture of human rights, challenging the Western knowledge imposed in this multicultural context.

The military coup of September 11, 1973, implied the exile of tens of thousands of citizens in order to save themselves from the on-going repression. Sweden soon was one of the main countries to providing protection to the politically persecuted, partly thanks to the concern of the government of Olof Palme and his ambassador to Chile Harald Edelstam. This article presents the main characteristics of the Chileans in Sweden from the military coup until now, reflecting on the political and social implications that have been taking place.

The effects derived from climate change (floods, sea level rise, droughts, meteorological extreme events), as well as their socio-economic impacts with incidence in livelihoods, health and life of populations (loss of crops, livelihoods, and drinking water, diseases) are forcing many people to leave their homes. Thus, several citizens of Kiribati and Tuvalu, fleeing these negative effects of climate change, have tried to seek protection and asylum in other countries, such as New Zealand and Australia under the umbrella of the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (also known as the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951) and The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 16 December 1966), reaching the Courts and the Human Rights Committee. However, the majority of these complaints have been dismissed. After these experiences, we ask ourselves: Are the existing legal mechanisms based on humanitarian law, human rights and environmental law sufficient to address the problem of climate migration? Based on this de lege data research question, starting from the hypothesis of the insufficiency of existing legal regimes, we pose a second de lege ferenda question: which legal tools could be adopted to provide answers to this forced displacement? For this, the strengths and weaknesses of the different solutions that can be implemented to address this problem are analyzed, either by adapting the existing international regulations on the environment and humanitarian law, or by implementing new measures that range from the approval of new international multilateral, regional and bilateral ad hoc treaties complemented by soft law mechanisms.

This work recovers the perspective of racial justice from Afro-Latin American studies to delve into the pedagogical praxis in human rights from the perspective of human rights and peoples, within the migrant movements of sub-Saharan Africa, in Brazil and Argentina. We develop the research from qualitative perspectives, oral history, collaborative ethnographies and participatory research, views that allow us to propose the processes of co-investigation or co-construction of knowledge together with the subjects themselves who suffer rights violations and who fight for justice. racial. Among the results of the research we can point out the need to assume intersectional perspectives to understand and explain oppressions, the need also to assume perspectives that make the approach to pedagogical processes more complex in order to develop initiatives from the movements themselves and accompanying public policies or restitution of rights.

This article analyzes the framework of migration regulations --which configured modalities and orientations of migration management policies-- that had a direct impact on the access to social rights of the migrant population in the period 2017-2021 in Argentina. The proposed discussion takes resources from the perspective of the autonomy of migrations, from which a socio-legal analysis is carried out to observe the particular way in which migration and work interacted during the pandemic, within the framework of the health emergency measures that conditioned modalities of migrant work and migratory regularization. For this reason, one of the conclusions of the work supports the need to give a multidimensional discussion regarding the way in which the State defines lines of migratory governance immersed in processes of capitalist accumulation, where the migrant labor force constitutes a strategic vector never recognized and always vulnerable.
