The article analyzes research conducted between 2018 and 2022 in Montevideo, focusing on the migrant population deprived of liberty and their access to rights and justice. The study worked with men mainly from Cuba and the Dominican Republic, as well as other countries in South America and Africa, whose displacements are primarily motivated by economic reasons, although they are intertwined with political and religious factors. The analysis is carried out from the perspective of belonging or not belonging to the national order, which allows for examining how migrants have less legitimacy and challenge the functioning of the state, its bureaucracy, and the norms of national society. We seek to contribute to knowledge about the relationship between the migrant population and the penal system based on questions such as: What is the nature of the link between the migrant population and the penal system? What specific obstacles do these individuals face in the system? What aspects of the penal system are questioned or challenged by working with migrants and foreigners? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text unveils the ways in which gender violence is expressed in the legal structures of legal treatment to the complaints of women victims of abuse in intimate partner relationships in Colombia. Judicial actions and rulings in these cases result in actions of revictimization and ineffectiveness of justice, which perpetuate the logic of male domination and moral damage to women. As long as the Colombian normative system does not recognize that it constitutes one of the elemental structures of patriarchy, it will be ineffective in guaranteeing women a life free of violence.

Colombian judicial authorities have derived from international law an obligation to fight against impunity through the use of penal sanctions in cases of serious human rights violations. According to the view espoused by the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court, the State has a duty to initiate criminal proceedings against each and every one of the persons potentially responsible for serious human rights violations, with respect to every possible crime committed by said persons, and using or referring to international crimes. This article argues against that position. I argue that such position is unsustainable in practice and does not necessarily low from the applicable sources of international law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
