More than 600 women and girls have been murdered and more than 1,000 have disappeared in the Mexican state of Chihuahua since 1993. Violence against women has increased throughout Mexico and in other countries, including Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Peru. Law enforcement officials have often failed or refused to undertake investigations and prosecutions, creating a climate of impunity for perpetrators and denying truth and justice to survivors of violence and victims’ relatives. Terrorizing Women is an impassioned yet rigorously analytical response to the escalation in violence against women in Latin America during the past two decades. It is part of a feminist effort to categoriz...
This book is the first in a series of planned volumes focused on preserving the character of the development of bioethics in particular cultural contexts. As the first of these volumes, Leo Pessini, Christian de Paul de Barchifontaine, and Fernando Lolas Stepke’s work has succeeded well. It has brought together accounts by sch- ars who were crucial to the emergence of bioethics in the Ibero-American cultural domain.

The emergence of new and substantial human migration flows is one of the most important consequences of globalisation.

Entre el 6 y el 8 de julio de 1977, el Ejército Argentino, junto con cómplices civiles, secuestró en Mar del Plata a un grupo de abogados laboralistas. Los propios secuestradores bautizaron el operativo como "La Noche de las Corbatas". Eligieron a esos profesionales por motivos ideológicos, políticos, económicos y personales. Cinco de ellos murieron o permanecen desaparecidos. Tres eran maoístas; uno, peronista ortodoxo, y otro, peronista de izquierda. Ninguno tenía participación en la lucha armada. Todos defendían a trabajadores. Esta es su historia y la de la época que les tocó vivir.

Los daños y perjuicios pueden entenderse como detrimentos materiales o morales, causados en contravención con una norma jurídica y lesionando un interés, por los cuales debe existir un resarcimiento. Todos estos matices serán analizados en las páginas venideras, donde comenzaremos por desarrollar los apotegmas generales en materia de daños y perjuicios, para luego adentrarnos en aspectos particulares de los diferentes supuestos que la doctrina, -y principalmente la jurisprudencia-, han admitido como "resarcibles" dentro del derecho de daños.
