Constitutionalism of the Global South
The Indian Supreme Court, the South African Constitutional Court and the Colombian Constitutional Court have been among the most important and creative courts in the Global South. In Asia, Africa and Latin America, they are seen as activist tribunals that have contributed (or attempted to contribute) to the structural transformation of the public and private spheres of their countries. The cases issued by these courts are creating a constitutionalism of the Global South. This book addresses in a direct and detailed way the jurisprudence of these Courts on three key topics: access to justice, cultural diversity and socioeconomic rights. This volume is a valuable contribution to the discussion about the contours and structure of contemporary constitutionalism. It makes explicit that this discussion has interlocutors both in the Global South and Global North while showing the common discourse between them and the differences on how they interpret and solve key constitutional problems.
Euthanasia and the Right to Die
Sensitive and high-profile public policy issues often benefit from being considered in comparative perspective. Here, euthanasia and the right to die are examined in the context of the social, legal, and religious settings of a wide range of countries. The authors employ public opinion data, where available, to illustrate the great disparity between approval of physician-assisted suicide and the general illegality of the practice. Ultimately, making and implementing laws to ensure a responsible right to die_as the U.S. has been struggling with in Oregon, Michigan, and elsewhere_will be informed by experiences in such places as the Netherlands, Australia, and the only country in the world where euthanasia is a clear-cut medical option: Colombia.

Tratado de Derecho Disciplinario Tomo I: Parte sustancial general
Esta colección, en forma de tratado, pretende desarrollar sistemática, contextual y axiológicamente el Derecho Disciplinario colombiano en su integridad. El Derecho Disciplinario es uno solo, cualquiera que sea su naturaleza; de allí que su sistematización se hace en forma general y sustancial; se contextualizan en diferentes tomos las materias desarrolladas en su particular contexto y presididas por una misma axiología, que respete la diversidad de manifestaciones. Se trata de una investigación de largo aliento, con la coautoría de representativos discípulos, todos formados en la Especializacion en Derecho Disciplinario de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, con quienes se propone realizar la temática en toda su intensidad y extensividad como una Ciencia Jurídica Dogmática autónoma e independiente, única en el Derecho Comparado por su peculiaridad de ser una especie del Derecho Sancionador o ius puniendi, diferente al Derecho Sancionador Administrativo, Administrativo Penal, Penal Administrativo o Derecho Contravencional General, como preferimos llamar a esta diferente especie, dentro de la cual no se encuentra comprendido el Derecho Disciplinario como subespecie.
The Gender of Constitutional Jurisprudence
To explain how constitutions shape and are shaped by women's lives, the contributors examine constitutional cases pertaining to women in 12 countries, covering cases about reproductive, sexual, familial, socio-economic, and democratic rights, and focussing on women's claims to equality.
Victims and press after the war
The drive to conduct this research was born out of the tension that developed on May of 2017 in the context of the journalistic coverage of the exhumations of those who died in the Bojayá massacre. Thus, this document has the purpose of asking and answering, from a socio-legal perspective, the following question: How can the events related to the armed conflict and to the transition to peace be narrated without violating the right to privacy of the victims? Or, how can a journalist record a dramatic event or recount an injuste that moves readers while respecting the limits of the private lives of the victims? To answer the question, this document examines the tensions between rights that can arise out of narrating the transition to peace as part of the journalistic profession, with the hope that the conclusion set forth is valid not only for the Bojayá case, but also in future transition years, as both victims and society in general benefit from a free and responsible press and the respect for private lives.
