Los defensores del pueblo en España
Los instrumentos jurídicos que aseguran la efectividad de los derechos fundamentales son una de las piezas clave de los Estados modernos y de su calidad democrática. El constante desarrollo de las funciones del Estado trajo consigo un incremento de los conflictos entre los ciudadanos y la administración, empezando a resultar insuficientes los mecanismos clásicos de control. La protección jurídica de los derechos y libertades se vio reforzada con los ombudsman, hoy presentes en una gran mayoría de Estados. Esta institución se caracteriza por su independencia y autoridad. En esta obra se abordan los elementos esenciales de los defensores del pueblo en España: su estatuto jurídico; su...
Teoría y práctica del Defensor del Pueblo
La institución del Defensor del Pueblo, innovadora figura del Derecho Público, que irrumpió por casi todo el mundo en la última parte del siglo XX para proteger los derechos de las personas frente a las arbitrariedades del poder, ha generado –y genera– más interrogantes que respuestas. Si bien la denominación Defensor del Pueblo se presenta como la traducción castellana del Ombudsman sueco, hay algunas diferencias entre ambos términos, sobre todo a partir de la consagración de esta figura en la península ibérica (Portugal y España). El Ombudsman escandinavo fue concebido como un órgano de control en tanto que el Defensor del Pueblo, sin dejar de ejercer esa responsabilidad, ...

Human Rights, State Compliance, and Social Change
National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) – human rights commissions and ombudsmen – have gained recognition as a possible missing link in the transmission and implementation of international human rights norms at the domestic level. They are also increasingly accepted as important participants in global and regional forums where international norms are produced. By collecting innovative work from experts spanning international law, political science, sociology and human rights practice, this book critically examines the significance of this relatively new class of organizations. It focuses, in particular, on the prospects of these institutions to effectuate state compliance and social change. Consideration is given to the role of NHRIs in delegitimizing – though sometimes legitimizing – governments' poor human rights records and in mobilizing – though sometimes demobilizing – civil society actors. The volume underscores the broader implications of such cross-cutting research for scholarship and practice in the fields of human rights and global affairs in general.
