Publicación 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. Una discusión similar se da en el libro Justicia para la paz: Crímenes atroces, derecho a la justicia y paz negociada, en español.Publicación La desigualdad pandémica. Relatos de la sociedad civil del sur globalJessica Corredor Villamil (Ed.); Meghan L. Morris (Ed.); Adebayo Okeowo; Jennifer Peralta; Precious Eriamiatoe; Natalia Mendoza Servín; Ana María Belique Delba; Sana Farrukh; Mary Louise Dumas; Neha Miriam Kurian; Cristián Sanhueza Cubillos¿Cómo podemos pensar la pandemia de la covid-19 a través de la desigualdad? ¿Cómo se ve este análisis cuando uno escribe desde Lahore o Abuja y no desde Londres o San Francisco? ¿Cómo esto nos ayuda a repensar el papel de la sociedad civil y sus formas de solidaridad? Este libro explora estas preguntas a través de narrativas escritas por jóvenes defensores de derechos humanos del sur global, desde Nigeria y Filipinas hasta India y Chile. Hablan de las desigualdades estructurales latentes que la pandemia ha profundizado, expuesto o reprimido, y las que rompieron la ya limitada confianza en el gobierno, el sector privado y las organizaciones sociales. También hablan de las estrategias de resiliencia y la organización social creativa que ayudaron a enfrentar la pandemia a través del mundo. Los colaboradores de este libro, desde distintas perspectivas, nos invitan a considerar qué podemos aprender de la interacción entre pandemia y desigualdad para inspirar una reorientación creativa de la acción colectiva y la incidencia hacia el futuro.Publicación Investigación anfibia, Segunda Edición: La investigación-acción en un mundo multimediaCésar Rodríguez GaravitoEn este breve libro reflexiono sobre la naturaleza y los desafíos de la investigación-acción a partir de mi experiencia de practicarla en esos campos minados. Específicamente, me baso en los datos y las vivencias de tres estudios de caso sobre conflictos socioambientales en territorios indígenas que han alcanzado gran visibilidad nacional e internacional: la disputa por la construcción de la represa de Belo Monte en la Amazonia brasilera, el conflicto sobre la explotación de petróleo en territorio del pueblo sarayaku en la Amazonia ecuatoriana y la lucha alrededor de la construcción de la represa de Urrá en el norte de Colombia.Publicación Desafíos del Sistema interamericano de derechos humanos: Nuevos tiempos, viejos retosCamila 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 TimoLa Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH) atravesó en los últimos años un intense proceso de debate en torno a su rol y facultades. Diversos Estados plantearon la necesidad de revaluar la tarea del organism a la luz de la realidad actual de la region. Además de las discusiones en torno a sus herramientas, se cuestionaron su agenda estratégica y sus prioridades temáticas. Se trató de un proceso complejo, por la diversidad de actores intereses en juego, en el que aparecieron entremezcladas algunas críticas legítimas a la labor de la CIDH, con propuestas que ponían en riesgo varias de sus facultades esenciales y su propia autonomía e independencia. Este libro es producto de la experiencia recogida por un grupo de organizaciones de derechos humanos, con vasto contacto con las problemáticas en terreno, reunidas en una alianza informal frente a la necesidad de desarrollar nuevas estrategias para acompañar este denominado ‘proceso de fortalecimiento’ de la CIDH. En esta iniciativa participaron el Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales (CELS) de Argentina, el Instituto de Defensa Legal (IDL) de Perú, la Fundación por el Debido Proceso (DPLF-regional), Conectas Direitos Humanos de Brasil, el Centro de Estudios de Derecho, Justicia y Sociedad (Dejusticia) de Colombia, y Fundar – Centro de Análisis e Investigación de México. Los artículos elaborados por las organizaciones del grupo abarcan diversas cuestiones relativas al funcionamiento, los temas de trabajo, las estrategias y potencialidades de la CIDH en el momento actual de la región. Así, los artículos incluyen análisis sobre su funcionamiento y estructura, abordando el estado financiero del SIDH, que da cuenta del desajuste entre el discurso de los Estados y la realidad presupuestaria del sistema interamericano. Se evalúan también los niveles actuales de transparencia de la CIDH en relación, por ejemplo, con los procesos de designación y tramitación de los casos. Las organizaciones que trabajamos en este libro, esperamos que constituya un aporte constructivo a los debates sobre el presente y el futuro del sistema interamericano, así como una herramienta propositiva para robustecer la institucionalidad regional en derechos humanos.Publicación Civil Resistance Against 21st Century Authoritarianism. Defending Human Rights in the Global SouthRajanya Bose; Sebastián Becker Castellaro; Kerem Çiftçioğlu; Ektaa Deochand; Natalia Mendoza Servín; Ezequiel Monsalve Fernández; Jennifer Peralta; Slavenska ZecPopulist authoritarian governments have jeopardized the human rights accomplishments of the 20th century. Ensuring their fulfillment has become a challenge for these governments and an issue for human rights defenders seeking to find ways to resist anti-democratic actions. This book seeks to expose the crisis of human rights at the hands of people who, despite rising to power through democratic means, now see democracy as a limiting institution that must be dismantled urgently. Restrictions on civil society and arbitrary detentions are some of the reasons why this populist and authoritarian vision is incompatible with human rights, which are guaranteed to some and denied to others. Through various narratives, the authors seek to recognize new spaces for struggle—such as political activism—to develop action-research tools in a context of crisis.Publicación Fighting the tide: Human Rights and Environmental Justice in the Global SouthCésar Rodríguez Garavito (Dir.)This text forms part of a long-term project undertaken by Dejusticia as part of its international work. The project revolves around the Global Action-Research Workshop for Young Human Rights Advocates that Dejusticia organizes each year to foster connections among and train a new generation of action researchers. The workshop helps participants develop action-research tools, understood as the combination of rigorous research and practical experience in social justice causes. For ten days, Dejusticia brings approximately fifteen participants and ten expert instructors to Colombia for a series of practical and interactive sessions on research, narrative writing, multimedia communication, and strategic reflection on the future of human rights. The aim is to strengthen participants’ capacity to produce hybrid-style texts that are at once rigorous and appealing to wide audiences. Participants are selected on the basis of an article proposal, which is then discussed during the workshop and subsequently developed with the help of an expert mentor (one of the instructors) over ten months until a publishable version is achieved, such as the chapters that make up this volume. The workshop also offers participants the opportunity to take advantage of new technologies and translate the results of their research and activism into diverse formats—from blogs, videos, and multimedia to social network communications and academic articles. Therefore, in addition to the annual volume comprising participants’ texts and instructors’ reflections, the workshop produces a blog in Spanish and English that features weekly entries by workshop alumni, written in the style described above. The title of the blog—Amphibious Accounts: Human Rights Stories from the Global South—owes itself to the fact that action research is “amphibious” in that its practitioners move seamlessly between different environments and worlds, from academic and political circles to local communities to media outlets to state entities. For those who are dedicated to the promotion of human rights, this often implies navigating these worlds in the global North and South alike. Each year, the workshop is centered on a particular current issue. In 2014, the topic was the intersections between human rights and environmental justice that I outlined at the beginning of this introduction. In addition to providing coherence to the book and the group of participants, the selected topic determines the workshop site in Colombia—for the sessions are held not in a classroom or convention center but in the middle of the field, in the very communities and places that are witnessing the issue firsthand.Publicación Human Rights in Minefields: Extractive Economies, Environmental Conflicts, and Social Justice in the Global SouthCésar Rodríguez Garavito (Dir.)Este libro reúne los relatos de 16 investigadores activistas del Sur Global sobre diferentes temas de derechos humanos en sus respectivos países. Son el resultado del primer taller de investigación-acción que llevó a cabo Dejusticia.Publicación Investigación Anfibia: La investigación-acción en un mundo multimediaCésar Rodríguez GaravitoLa investigación-acción combina el estudio académico, laparticipación en el debate público, la incidencia en políticas públicas y la construcción de instituciones (como centros de pensamiento y ONG). Este libro, en su versión en inglés y en su versión en español, analiza las ventajas y dificultades de este tipo de trabajo. La interacción cercana con audiencias diversas tiende a darle a la investigación-acción mayor precisión empírica y relevancia, y servir de fuente de motivación para quienes la practican. Sin embargo, también crea riesgos constantes de dispersión, ausencia de distancia analítica y agotamiento. Para aprovechar las ventajas y enfrentar las dificultades, el libro propone un enfoque — la ‘investigación anfibia’—, basado en aproximaciones metodológicas y estilos de escritura híbridos, cuyos productos recojan aportes de diferentes campos de conocimiento y circulen en formatos multimedia.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 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.
