AccederLaws should protect not harm
Luisa Cabal
| ONUSIDA
More than 65 countries criminalize same-sex sexual relations, including at least eight that impose the death penalty. Globally, gay men and other men who have sex with men are around 28 times more likely to acquire HIV than the general population and are much less likely to access HIV services. Transgender people, who account for an estimated 0.1–1.1% of the global population, often face stigma, discrimination and social rejection in their homes and communities. Discrimination, violence and criminalization prevent many people from accessing the HIV services they need to stay healthy. When we reform criminal laws, people can exercise their fundamental human rights, according to Luisa Cabal, UNAIDS Director a.i. of Community Support, Social Justice, and Inclusion.
AccederLaw and the New Developmental State: The Brazilian Experience in Latin American Context.
Helena Alviar García, David Trubek, Diogo Coutinho
This book explores the emergence of a new developmental state in Latin America and its significance for law and development theory. In Brazil since 2000, emerging forms of state activism, including a new industrial policy and a robust social policy, differ from both classic developmental state and neoliberal approaches. They favor a strong state and a strong market, employ public-private partnerships, seek to reduce inequality, and embrace the global economy. Case studies of state activism and law in Brazil show new roles emerging for legal institutions. They describe how the national development bank uses law in innovation promotion, trade law strengthens new developmental policies in export promotion and public health, and social law frames innovative poverty-relief programs that reduce inequality and stimulate demand. Contrasting Brazilian experience with Colombia and Mexico, the book underscores the unique features of Brazil's trajectory and the importance of this experience for understanding the role of law in development today.
AccederThe Legal Architecture of Populism: Exploring Antagonists in Venezuela and Colombia
Helena Alviar García, Gerald L. Neuman
| Cambridge University Press
This chapter examines populism in Latin America as a method of exercising power, rather than a specific set of substantive provisions. It explores the commonalities between left-populism and right-populism as illustrated by two ideologically opposing figures, Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and Álvaro Uribe in Colombia. Despite their contrasting social and economic policies, there were more similarities than differences in the legal architecture they deployed. In both cases, the preferred tools included the resort to referenda to circumvent and control the legislature, delegitimation of the opposition, and activation of mechanisms allowing the executive to legislate by decree. Their methods illustrate how populist leaders use tools to produce arguments of legitimacy for their selection of winners and losers in society.
AccederLooking beyond the Constitution: The Social and Ecological Function of Property
Helena Alviar García, Rosalind Dixon
| Edwar Elgar
This chapter explores the structural difficulties faced by progressive reforms aimed at redistributing rural property through constitutional provisions. In different historical periods, legal scholars and activists have placed their faith in constitutional reforms and adjudication to attack rural property concentration in Latin America. The objective of this chapter is to analyze some of the limitations that constitutional law and judicial interpretation have had in Colombia. It argues that redistribution is stalled by the coexistence of different definitions of property; the concentration of public resources for economic development plans that privilege a liberal classical view of growth, property and distribution; existing conflicts between access to land, the right to work and the right to develop enterprises, as well as the contradictions between identities at the margins who may be provided with collective titles to property. In order to delineate the presence of these same contradictions in other contexts, the chapter ends with a short parallel to the Bolivian case.
AccederLa discusión en torno a la política de desarrollo agrario: ¿perspectivas encontradas?, ¿nuevas soluciones?
Helena Alviar García
| Universidad de los Andes
Este texto busca demostrar que los discursos de las partes negociadoras (gobierno colombiano y FARC-EP) se centran en visiones clásicas y antagónicas de la política agraria, lo cual genera puntos ciegos para solucionar muchos de los problemas que enfrenta el sector rural colombiano.
AccederSocial, Economic and Cultural Rights and Economic Development: Limiting or Reinforcing the Market?
Helena Alviar García
| Hart Publishing
This book of essays, written in honour of Professor David Trubek, explores many of the themes which he has himself written about, most notably the emergence of a global critical discourse on law and its application to global governance. As law becomes ever more implicated in global governance and as processes related to and driven by globalisation transform legal systems at all levels, it is important that critical traditions in law adapt to the changing legal order and problématique. The book brings together critical scholars from the EU, and North and South America to explore the forms of law that are emerging in the global governance context, the processes and legal roles that have developed, and the critical discourses that have been formed. By looking at critical appraisals of law at the global, regional and national level, the links among them, and the normative implications of critical discourses, the book aims to show the complexity of law in today's world and demonstrate the value of critical legal thought for our understanding of issues of contemporary governance and regulation. Scholars from many countries contribute critical studies of global and regional institutions, explore the governance of labour and development policy in depth, and discuss the changing role of lawyers in global regulatory space.
AccederLibertad de expresión: Algunas ideas para expandir su potencial distribuidor
Helena Alviar García
| Universidad de los Andes
Owen Fiss es uno de los académicos jurídicos más importantes de los Estados Unidos. Su obra inmensa, que abarca el derecho constitucional, el derecho procesal y la filosofía del derecho, se ha ocupado de mostrar, en lo fundamental, cómo el derecho encarna la razón pública y es un instrumento esencial de la justicia social. Esta concepción del derecho se refleja en una teoría de la libertad de expresión que busca hacer efectiva la igualdad sustantiva y que pretende abrir el mercado de las ideas a aquellas voces que, sin una intervención vigorosa del Estado, de otro modo no podrían expresar sus puntos de vista. Esta teoría no sólo ha influenciado a varias generaciones de académicos estadounidenses sino que se ha extendido a otros confines del mundo. Los ensayos recogidos en este libro, escritos por discípulos y amigos de Owen Fiss de los. Estados Unidos, Europa y América Latina, son un sentido homenaje y agradecimiento a las enseñanzas imperecederas y democráticas del maestro y el amigo.

AccederJustice and Experimentalism: The Judiciary’s Remedial Function in Public Interest Litigation in Argentina
Paola Bergallo
Since the 1994 constitutional reform, a group of lawyers, public defenders and societal organizations have turned to the courts in search of new spaces for participation in the pursuit of social change. To this end, they have increasingly promoted public interest litigation,[1]defined as a judicial claim in the form of an individual or collective lawsuit that seeks the structural transformation of state institutions to promote the respect of rights and democratic values established in the Constitution.

Acceder"Obviously there is a conflict between confidentiality and what you are required to do by law”: Chilean university faculty and student perspectives on reporting unlawful abortions
M.Antonia Biggs, Lidia Casas Becerra, Sara Victoria Correa, Finley Baba, Alejandra Ramm
Background and objectives
While Chile recently decriminalized abortion in cases of rape, lethal fetal anomaly, and to save a woman's life, most abortions are still criminalized. We assessed medical and midwifery school faculty and students' views on punishing and reporting people involved in unlawful abortion, and their understanding of their obligation to protect patient confidentiality and to report unlawful abortions.
Methods
We interviewed 30 medical and midwifery school clinician faculty from seven public, private, secular and Catholic-affiliated universities, all located in the metropolitan region of Santiago, Chile. Medical (n = 239) and midwifery (n = 79) students at these same seven universities completed an online survey. We coded faculty interview transcripts, and analyzed codes related to maintaining patient confidentiality and reporting unlawful abortion. We summarized student views related to reporting and imprisoning people involved in unlawful abortion, and used general estimating equation (GEE) models to identify the factors associated with support for criminalization.
Results
Faculty and students generally did not support reporting or imprisoning anyone involved in an unlawful abortion and believed that protecting patient information takes precedence over reporting. Yet, faculty described pressures to report in the public sector and several cases where they or their colleagues were involved in reports. Most students somewhat/strongly agreed (78%) that patient information concerning an unlawful abortion should be kept confidential; 35% strongly/somewhat agreed that a clinician involved in an unlawful surgical abortion should be imprisoned, and 18% agreed that the woman involved should be imprisoned, with students from secular universities being significantly less likely to support reporting and punishing people involved in unlawful abortion, than students from Catholic universities.
Discussion
There is a need to clarify clinicians' ethical obligations in abortion care, in particular in Catholic universities, so that they can ensure that their patients have access to high quality confidential health care services.
