Publicación Reflexiones sobre el cuidado como derecho en ColombiaLucía Ramírez Bolívar; Margarita Martínez Osorio; Nathalia Samhil González Gutiérrez; Anyer Mosquera SánchezEl 20 de enero de 2023, el Estado de Argentina presentó ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos una solicitud de Opinión Consultiva sobre “el contenido y el alcance del derecho al cuidado y su interrelación con otros derechos”. Esta solicitud no es aislada ni fortuita. Por el contrario, se inscribe en un contexto en el que, gracias a décadas de activismo feminista, desde la academia y la sociedad civil en la región, los Estados han comenzado a incorporar el cuidado dentro de sus agendas, bien sea estableciendo políticas públicas, poniendo en marcha sistemas de cuidado, o avanzando en la construcción de marcos normativos que reconozcan al cuidado como un derecho y al Estado como su principal garante. El eventual pronunciamiento de la Corte Interamericana resultará fundamental para fijar un estándar regional que contribuya a fortalecer las iniciativas de los Estados que ya han avanzado en la regulación del cuidado como un derecho y a promover estas mismas regulaciones en aquellos países en donde no ha habido tantos desarrollos. En ese contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación es brindar herramientas conceptuales, normativas y jurisprudenciales que aporten a la construcción de una definición y regulación del cuidado como derecho fundamental y autónomo en Colombia. Para ello, este documento sistematiza y analiza los estándares internacionales y regionales de derechos humanos, así como la normatividad y jurisprudencia nacional y de otros países de la región relacionados con el cuidado. Los hallazgos de esta investigación pueden convertirse en un insumo para que las instituciones competentes del Estado colombiano avancen en la regulación del cuidado como un derecho.Publicación El uso del derecho como herramienta de transformación en América LatinaJose Roberto Gabriel Pereira; Catalina SmulovitzEste libro ofrece una discusión interdisciplinaria sobre uno de los fenómenos más destacados de las democracias latinoamericanas de los últimos años: el uso del derecho, y especialmente del litigio, como herramienta de transformación social y política. Mucho se ha escrito sobre este fenómeno, conocido también como judicialización de la política, en el mundo académico anglosajón; sin embargo, en la región latinoamericana, los trabajos multidisciplinarios y comparativos sobre el mismo son escasos. Este volumen intenta subsanar este vacío incorporando no solo estas perspectivas al análisis del fenómeno, sino también la mirada de investigadores jóvenes y de otros más experimentados, así como la de autores provenientes de distintos países de la región. Por otro lado, este volumen busca ser un punto de encuentro entre dos miradas sobre la judicialización de la política. El análisis de este fenómeno ha sido abordado de forma fragmentada en la región por la academia jurídica que busca delinear los contornos conceptuales y procesales del fenómeno, y por sociólogos y politólogos que explicaron cómo el fenómeno jurídico interactúa con el entramado social, político y cultural en el cual se inscribe. Para ese fin, este trabajo incluye un conjunto de trabajos orientados a analizar y dimensionar los avances, retrocesos e innovaciones dogmáticas e institucionales que se han registrado en el derecho latinoamericano, así como la relación de los mismos con la expansión y uso que adquirió el derecho como herramienta para la acción. El trabajo de esta obra colectiva ha sido guiado por interrogantes tales como ¿Qué factores determinan que algunos grupos sociales utilicen, o no, la estrategia del litigio para llevar adelante sus reclamos colectivos en situaciones particulares? ¿Qué dinámicas del contexto político doméstico y regional determinan la extensión del activismo de jueces en casos específicos? O ¿Cuáles han sido las consecuencias específicas y particulares de algunos de estos procesos?Publicación Resumen ejecutivo: Entre coacción y colaboración: Verdad judicial, actores económicos y conflicto armado en ColombiaSabine Michalowski; Daniel Marín LópezAunque es claro que muchos de los actores económicos carecen de responsabilidad en el conflicto, y otros han sido víctimas de este, algunas investigaciones han demostrado que existen muchos que sí tuvieron un papel determinante en el origen, el desarrollo y la perpetuación de los ciclos de violencia armada en el país. Con la firma e implementación del Acuerdo Final de Paz entre el Gobierno de Colombia y las (FARC-EP) se ha puesto en marcha un complejo sistema de justicia transicional denominado Sistema Integral de Verdad, Justicia, Reparación y No Repetición. El Sistema está integrado fundamentalmente por una Comisión de Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, una Unidad de Búsqueda de Personas dadas por Desaparecidas y una jurisdicción transitoria encargada de judicializar a los responsables de los crímenes más graves y representativos ocurridos durante el largo conflicto armado colombiano, la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz, JEP. A esto se suman las medidas existentes de reparación a víctimas y un conjunto de herramientas para garantías de no repetición. Una de las preguntas que guió esta investigación partió del supuesto de que los terceros civiles tendrían que rendir cuentas ante la JEP. Lo anterior llevaba a pensar si existía justificación para incluir a terceros civiles en el componente penal de la justicia transicional creado a partir del AFP para dar un cierre jurídico al conflicto armado interno colombiano. Es por ello que Dejusticia y la Universidad de Essex decidió analizar las implicaciones de este marco de rendición de cuentas frente al rol de los «actores económicos» dentro del conflicto armado colombiano, dándole vida a un libro que se aproxima a las respuestas de tantas preguntas que dejó el acuerdo.Publicación Inter-American Human Rights System: Changing times, ongoing challengesCamila Barreto Maia; Edurne Cárdenas; Daniel Cerqueira; Raísa Cetra; Gastón Chillier; Mariana González Armijo; Celeste Kauffman; Gabriela Kletzel; Laura Lyons Cerón; Jefferson Nascimento; Miguel Pulido Jiménez; Silvia Ruiz Cervantes; César Rodríguez Garavito; Jaqueline Sáenz Andujo; Katya Salazar; María Sánchez de Tagle; Nelson Camilo Sánchez León; Pétalla TimoThis book chronicles how a group of Latin American human rights organizations worked together to develop new strategies monitor the so-called “strengthening process” of the CIDH. In recent years, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has been intensively debating its role and authority. Several States raised the need to reevaluate the work of the institution in light of the current reality of the region. In addition to discussions on their tools, their strategic agenda and their thematic priorities were questioned. It was a complex process, due to the diversity of stakeholders involved, in which some legitimate criticisms of the work of the IACHR were mixed with proposals that put at risk several of its essential faculties and its own autonomy and independence.Publicación Law, Trade, and Nutrition Labeling: Reflections and Experiences from Latin AmericaDiana Guarnizo Peralta (Ed.); René Urueña Hernández (Ed.); Juan Martín Carballo (Ed.)Overweight and obesity are two of the most pressing issues on today’s public health agenda. Latin America in particular is home to some of the world’s highest consumption levels of sugar-sweetened beverages and ultra-processed foods, putting its population at greater risk of noncommunicable diseases. To promote healthier eating environments and habits, the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization have called on countries to adopt a variety of measures, including front-of-package warning labels based on the best available scientific evidence. Several countries in the region, such as Chile, Mexico, and Peru, have adopted the octagonal warning label model, with positive results. However, the adoption of these and similar policies has not been easy. The ultra-processed food industry has put up significant resistance, citing economic, political, and legal concerns. In particular, it has argued that such policies violate international trade agreements, despite the fact that international law allows for exceptions in favor of legitimate objectives such as public health. This multi-authored volume contributes to the debate on the adoption of front-ofpackage nutrition labeling from two perspectives. First, from a legal viewpoint, the book’s authors examine the main arguments against this public health measure and provide counterarguments based on international law. Second, from a lived experience perspective, the authors recount how they successfully advocated for this public health policy in their respective countries and overcame opposition. The book offers a perspective from the Global South on front-of-package warning labels, one of the most important obesity prevention policies in recent years. It is aimed at academics, activists, and others interested in the intersections of public health, law, and international trade.Publicación Reimagining the Future of Human Rights: Social Justice, Environmental Justice, and Democracy in the Global SouthJessica Corredor Villamil (Ed.); Arpitha Kodiveri; Enis Köstepen; Evgeny Belyakov; Karim Nammour; Mary Louise Dumas; Osamah E. Alfakih; Richard Ellimah; Marisa Viegas e Silva; Rodrigo OliveiraThis book is the collective effort of participants from Dejusticia’s annual Global Action-Research Workshop for Young Human Rights Advocates. The talented writers featured here are graduates from previous workshops who came together again in 2018 to explore the intersection between research and activism and what it holds for the future of human rights. The authors in this book question traditional methods and explore new ways and visions of advancing human rights in the troubled context in which we live today. Do the struggles of small-scale miners in Ghana, the use of strategic litigation in Lebanon, and the recognition of the rights of nature in India represent evidence for hope? Or is the opposite true, and, as shown in the chapters on martial law in the Philippines, the treatment of wastewater in Argentina, and in the internal conflict in Yemen, human rights have failed to deliver on their promises? Whatever the answer, Reimagining the Future of Human Rights invites us to reflect on the work of human rights in different contexts and the challenges that activists face, but also the progress they have made. The chapters in this book offer a snapshot of the current state of human rights that can help guide our work as activists and researchers.Publicación Addressing Inequality from a Human Rights Perspective: Social and Economic Justice in the Global SouthCésar Rodríguez Garavito (Coord.)This book points to an emerging set of ideas and practices being developed by activists, scholars, and courts from a range of countries that reveals the potential of human rights to resolve other radical injustices and to build more robust civil society movements against inequality and deregulation. Numerous countries around the globe are witnessing a similar experience in their modern political contexts: democratic tools and human rights instruments—which have facilitated undeniable improvements in the lives of millions—are proving largely insufficient for preventing extreme forms of exclusion. In other words, while human rights have played a fundamental role in highlighting inequalities based on factors such as gender and ethnic and racial identity, they have coexisted alongside persistent socioeconomic injustices and the rise of authoritarian populist governments that are jeopardizing human rights institutions and principles worldwide. Against this panorama, some are arguing that the human rights movement is incapable of warding off social injustice, while others are calling for a separation of the human rights and social movements. This book offers a third way: it points to an emerging set of ideas and practices being developed by activists, scholars, and courts from a range of countries that reveals the potential of human rights to resolve other radical injustices and to build more robust civil society movements against inequality and deregulation. Descripción tomada de: https://www.dejusticia.org/publication/adressing-inequality-from-a-human-rights-perspective/Publicación Amphibious Research: Action Research in a Multimedia WorldCésar Rodríguez GaravitoThis book explores the advantages and challenges of this type of work. Closely interacting with diverse audiences tends to give the action researcher greater empirical accuracy and relevance, and also serves as a source of motivation. Nevertheless, it can also lead to the risk of dispersion, lack of analytical distance, and burnout. To help researchers capitalize on these advantages and overcome the difficulties, this book proposes a new technique—“amphibious research.” This technique, which is based on methodological approaches and hybrid styles of writing, allows action researchers to gather contributions from different fields and to circulate their results in multimedia formats.Publicación Migration and decent work. Challenges for the Global SouthLucía Ramírez Bolívar (Ed.); Jessica Corredor Villamil (Ed.)Migration and Decent Work: Challenges for the Global South takes a journey through nine countries in the global South—from Mexico to India to Argentina to Turkey—to explore the relationship between migration and work from a human rights perspective. Labor insertion is one of the most effective forms of integration because it allows migrants and refugees to enjoy more dignified living conditions, to contribute to the development of host communities, and to build relationships with the local population. But ensuring the right to work is a challenge for countries in the global South that have weak or developing economies and problems with job creation, which can force many people—not just migrants—to engage in precarious work and put themselves at risk of labor exploitation. Under these circumstances, advocating for migrants’ and refugees’ right to work is more urgent than ever. The recognition of decent work as a human right means that states may not pursue economic growth at the expense of the exploitation of migrants and refugees, but instead must seek to ensure opportunities and prosperity for all. In this regard, it is critical to foster discussions, such as the ones featured in this book, that facilitate the sharing of experiences and lessons learned on the labor conditions of migrants and refugees. The authors of the nine chapters in Migration and Decent Work are activists, academics, and members of civil society who have worked on the issue of migration from different angles and who address the challenge of migrants’ labor inclusion from an interdisciplinary and rights-based perspective. Their contributions offer an overview of migrants’ and refugees’ right to work in a range of countries in the global South based on an analysis of local contexts, public policies, and the everyday realities faced by these workers. In addition to offering local and global recommendations for ensuring the right to decent work for migrants and refugees, this book seeks to strengthen the human rights movement through collaboration and the sharing of experiences. The diversity of voices featured here offers a look at migration based on and intended for the global South. La diversidad de voces que reúne ofrece una mirada de la migración desde y para el Sur GlobalPublicación Beyond the Binary: Securing Peace and Promoting Justice after ConflictNelson Camilo Sánchez León; Rodrigo Uprimny Yepes; Howard Varney; Michael Schwarz; Tatiana Rincón-Covelli; Claudio Nash Rojas; Tara Van Ho; Oscar Parra VeraThe main objective of Beyond the Binary is to place on record the need to formulate answers to the question of the role that criminal action and punishment should play in negotiated political transitions from war to peace. Discussions on the meaning and scope of concepts such as justice, accountability, and victim satisfaction continue to be fervent topics in specialized circles of what is now known as “the transitional justice field,” and in societies suffering from mass violence. Instead of solving the practical and theoretical dilemmas of these interpretative disputes, the experience and knowledge accumulated over the more than three decades that this field has been in existence have served only to deepen the debates and to adapt more of these discussions to new and constantly-changing scenarios and contexts. The main objective of Beyond the Binary is to place on record the need to formulate answers to the question of the role that criminal action and punishment should play in negotiated political transitions from war to peace. There are two reasons for our making this observation. On one hand, given the institutional, legal, and political challenges facing societies that nowadays attempt to take this step, there is a need for the issue to be analyzed. On the other hand, the conclusion reached from an initial analysis is that the academic and practical discussion seems to be trapped into a polarizing discussion between those who defend a legal interpretation of the duty to investigate, prosecute, and punish, which appears to threaten the possibility of achieving negotiated transitions, and those who, in order to prevent that risk, deny or resent the existence or consolidation of such a principle. The central purpose of this book is to initiate a conversation on how to resolve difficult dilemmas. We appreciate that some of the proposals may come across as controversial, but what we are looking for is, precisely, to open up the possibility of thinking in innovative ways about how to confront these challenges.
