The book provides an extensive overview of objectives and current implementation of Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals in Latin America and Europe. Based on discussions at the GIZ-EIUC conference in Venice of May 2017, the book offers new insights into specifically Goal 16.3 from a Latin American and European perspective. Current challenges to access to justice before the European and the Inter-American Courts of Human Rights as well as common and different challenges to the European and Inter-American Human Rights systems are assessed. Based on the foundational work of the GIZ-DIRAJus project in Latin America specific challenges of access to justice in Mexico, Peru, Brazil, El Salvador and Chile are comprehensively examined. The issues identified in the book based on Latin American and European efforts in ensuring access to justice offer guidance in what way additional indicators for Goal 16.3 could be developed.
The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly marked a groundbreaking moment in the field of international law. Not only would it start to move away from its original conception as an exclusively State-centered domain: it would also mark the progressive transformation of international law into a law for humankind. This instrument started a codification and institution-building process that would slowly evolve into a complex framework of treaties, bodies and procedures revolving around the protection of the human being against the actions – or omissions – of the State. This commentary provides a specific analysis and reflection of how each one of the rights enshrined therein have evolved over time.
Molecular Toxinology has been consolidated as a scientific area focused on the intertwined description of several aspects of animal toxins. In an inquiring biotechnological world, animal toxins appear as an invaluable source for the discovery of therapeutic polypeptides. Animal toxins rely on specific chemical interactions with their partner molecule to exert their biological actions. The comprehension of how molecules interact and recognize their target is essential for the rational exploration of bioactive polypeptides as therapeutics. Investigation on the mechanism of molecular interaction and recognition offers a window of opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry and clinical medicine. Thus, this book brings examples of two interconnected themes - molecular recognition and toxinology concerning to the integration between analytical procedures and biomedical applications.
This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions.

De fato, falar em diversidade não é falar exclusivamente dos homossexuais, transexuais ou minorias, mas de todos os indivíduos da face da Terra. Viver a diversidade é direito fundamental da pessoa humana, pois, uma vez que viver significa se expressar, só vive dignamente aquele que não encontra barreiras para a expressão da sua personalidade, atributo que diviniza o ser humano e o torna titular de direitos fundamentais. Nenhuma expressão inofensiva da diversidade pode ser discriminada, de forma que, há muito, é anacrônico e antijurídico qualquer senão à diversidade sexual.
Em sua pesquisa, que resultou neste livro, PEDRO GONZÁLEZ lançou-se no desafio de investigar a origem e o sentido a ser atribuído ao dispositivo constitucional que afirma ser a Defensoria Pública brasileira “expressão e instrumento do regime democrático”. Surgem então as perguntas que ele procurou responder: de onde, então, teria partido a iniciativa que resultou na consagração dessa emblemática locução no texto da Carta Magna brasileira? E, além disso, quais as consequências que devem ser extraídas desse preceito normativo? Será ele mero dispositivo retórico e simbólico ou deve se extrair dele efeitos jurídicos prático-instrumentais? Deve-se reconhecer que a investi...
