This thought-provoking book explores the emerging construction of a customary law of peace in Latin America and the developing jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. It traces the evolution of peace as both an end and a means: from a negative form, i.e. the absence of violence, to a positive form that encompasses equality, non-discrimination and social justice, including gendered perspectives on peace.
Ireland has launched an ambitious strategy to build a more inclusive, efficient and sustainable justice sector.

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.
Access to justice for all is a global objective enshrined in SDG 16. To help countries achieve this objective, the OECD People-Centred Justice Framework and Principles sets out elements of a government-wide strategy for people-centred justice, inter-agency cooperation and communication, as well as mechanisms to ensure accountability and sustainability.
Chile has embarked on an ambitious path towards a new constitution. This report presents the results of a benchmarking exercise conducted by the OECD of possible constitutional provisions, reflecting the experiences of OECD member countries.
Modern state law excludes populations, peoples, and social groups by making them invisible, irrelevant, or dangerous. In this book, Boaventura de Sousa Santos offers a radical critique of the law and develops an innovative paradigm of socio-legal studies which is based on the historical experience of the Global South. He traces the history of modern law as an abyssal law, or a kind of law that is theoretically invisible yet implements profound exclusions in practice. This abyssal line has been the key procedure used by modern modes of domination – capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy – to divide people into two groups, the metropolitan and the colonial, or the fully human and the sub-human. Crucially, de Sousa Santos rejects the decadent pessimism that claims that we are living through 'the end of history'. Instead, this book offers practical, hopeful alternatives to social exclusion and modern legal domination, aiming to make post-abyssal legal utopias a reality.
A presente obra aborda o princípio da oralidade e suas intersecções com a gestão processual no bojo das audiências previstas no processo de conhecimento disciplinado pelo CPC/15 e se insere dentre os estudos que buscam refletir e propor possíveis alternativas para o amplo contexto a que se acostumou chamar de “crise do sistema de justiça”. Trata-se, assim, de uma tentativa de se pensar os problemas do sistema de justiça brasileiro à luz da conjugação de duas ideias centrais para o trabalho: a oralidade e a gestão processual. Nesse contexto, o trabalho dá destaque à audiência de saneamento compartilhado, na qual ressai o ápice da intersecção entre oralidade e gestão processual, uma vez que os subprincípios da oralidade beneficiam a utilização das técnicas de gestão processual, contribuindo para a prolação de decisão de saneamento e organização do processo eficiente e apta a encurtar o caminho do processo até a prolação de decisão que recaia sobre o mérito da controvérsia.
This innovative book proposes new theories on how the legal system can be made more comprehensible, usable and empowering for people through the use of design principles. Utilising key case studies and providing real-world examples of legal innovation, the book moves beyond discussion to action. It offers a rich set of examples, demonstrating how various design methods, including information, service, product and policy design, can be leveraged within research and practice.
