We are publishing this book as the result of a research project carried out by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain and AFM Krakow University in Poland. Some parts of it were already announced during a scientific Conference organised remotely in Kraków in October 2020. It is now time to present the research findings in writing.The issue of Artificial Intelligence has long raised questions and interests, including those of legal science. A number of problems have not yet been widely analysed, despite the fact that the present time is undoubtedly a time of technological challenges. Therefore, in the presented publication, prepared by the international scientific community, un...
Environmental justice and social justice are well established concepts in social research. This book goes beyond the established discourse to show how Geographic Information Systems can unveil higher levels of spatial unfairness when both forms of injustice coincide in the same place. Territorial injustice is the result of the disproportionately higher exposure of vulnerable communities to pollution and environmental risks. Overlapping layers of georeferenced environmental and social information generate maps depicting territorial injustice which can be a powerful tool to facilitate social dialogue and prompt policy change. This volume brings approaches from ten Latin American countries to demonstrate how the interdisciplinarity between law and Geographic Information Systems can contribute to the development of fairer public policies, and prevent and mitigate cases of extreme injustice. The case studies presented are relevant to support the development of geolaw, and to inspire pragmatic strategies aimed both at social justice and environmental sustainability.
Populist 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.
This book develops an interdisciplinary conceptualisation and a practical application of virtue ethics to leadership in international organisations.
Atualmente, a encriptac?o e uma resposta aos problemas que a privacidade enfrenta no plano digital, colocando dificuldades a investigac?o criminal. Assim, reclamam-se novos meios de obtenc?o da prova, surgindo a utilizac?o de malware como uma soluc?o, discutida e consagrada na legislac?o de diversos paises europeus e nos EUA. Trata-se de um mecanismo "camaleonico" e sui generis, potenciador da obtenc?o de uma enorme quantidade de dados dos sistemas informaticos. Todavia, se por um lado a sua utilizac?o se justifica em nome da descoberta da verdade material e da realizac?o da justica, por outro assiste-se a uma restric?o de direitos fundamentais. A avancar-se com a sua previs?o legal em Portugal, exigir-se-a a observancia de um conjunto de requisitos para que seja legal e constitucionalmente admissivel.
Presenting an integrated approach to information exchange among law enforcement institutions within the EU, this book addresses the dilemma surrounding the need to balance the security of individuals and the need to protect their privacy and data. Providing the reader with a comprehensive analysis of information exchange tools, exploring their history, political background, the most recent legal modifications and the advantages and disadvantages of their use, it includes a comparison between different information exchange tools. Written by an author who has worked as a police officer, Home Affairs counsellor and academic, this is an important read for scholars working with EU Law, Criminal Procedure Law, and International Law as well as for practitioners who directly deal with international police cooperation or who perform criminal investigation both within and outside the EU.
El Internet de las Cosas («IoT» por sus siglas en inglés) es la próxima revolución en nuestro mundo cada vez más interconectado. Todo, desde prendas tecnológicas o electrodomésticos hasta ciudades inteligentes o infraestructuras públicas, puede aprovechar el potencial de esta tecnología en beneficio de los ciudadanos, las empresas y las administraciones públicas, pero también acarrea amenazas crecientes a la intimidad-privacidad y a la seguridad. Este libro examina primero las claves tecnológicas del Internet de las Cosas, sus riesgos y elementos disruptivos, así como también las aplicaciones prácticas más frecuentes ya en uso. En segundo lugar, y dado que el Internet de las...
Esta obra, resultado de longa pesquisa no Brasil e na Europa, revela desde logo em seu título e subtítulo a profundidade, a preocupação e o ineditismo no tratamento de um tema tão relevante na atualidade ? o Meio Ambiente e a Sustentabilidade. Não estamos diante de mais um livro jurídico. O raciocínio claro e muito bem construído convida o leitor a realizar um agradável passeio, desde a sociedade primitiva até o advento do Estado Constitucional contemporâneo e seus pilares fundamentais. Segundo o Autor, os fenômenos da Globalização e da Transnacionalidade deixaram todos cada vez mais próximos, irrecusavelmente interligados (em rede), mesmo distantes fisicamente. Por conta dis...
"La referencia predominante en el ámbito del Derecho de Familia es asumirla desde una perspectiva íntima y privada, relativizada a la voluntad de las personas que conforman una relación familiar. Salvo situaciones excepcionales, el ámbito del derecho público no puede evaluar el contexto de las crisis familiares, en cualquiera de sus modalidades. Una visión limitada en el contexto funcional respecto de los órganos jurisdiccionales y que condiciona negativamente la planificación de políticas públicas en la atención de las necesidades de la sociedad, porque finalmente los derechos, intereses y proyecciones subjetivas de las personas que conforman las relaciones familiares en crisis o...
La igualdad en su sentido más amplio, es un principio. un valor y un derecho que además dé orientar la actuación del Estado tiene incidencia directa en las relaciones que se desarrollan entre los particulares. En el ámbito del derecho del trabajo en Colombia existe un amplio desarrollo del principio de la igualdad y la no discriminación en la normatividad y en la jurisprudencia de las altas cortes, sin embargo. se carece de estudios en los que se establezca con claridad ese marco normativo y los aspectos más relevantes de los pronunciamientos judiciales; por esto el objetivo de la presente investigación es desarrollar un instrumento de consulta que permita determinar el alcance del principio de igualdad y no discriminación en las condiciones de trabajo y empleo. mediante el análisis de los diferentes instrumentos jurídicos que regulan la materia y la jurisprudencia de las tres Altas Cortes en el período 2002 a 2016 a fin de que los operadores jurídicos interesados en los asuntos laborales cuenten con recursos adicionales para la mejor defensa de los derechos laborales.
