El libro afronta uno de los retos más acuciantes de la era de la globalización: el respeto de la dignidad de la persona y sus derechos a escala mundial a través de las acciones susceptibles de ser emprendidas desde España. Con ese espíritu, tras el estudio de la tipificación de las graves violaciones de derechos humanos (en los instrumentos internacionales y nacionales pertinentes) que justifican la proyección extraterritorial o universal de la justicia española, se analizan con un enfoque marcadamente práctico los leading cases de la jurisprudencia internacional y nacional en materia de instrucción, enjuiciamiento y condena de los más graves atentados contra la dignidad humana.

The remarkable volume collects essays and studies on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and its application. Its aim is to offer a series of contributions, made by distinguished scholars and legal experts, on the Charter considered as a living legal instrument, with a view to understanding whether, five years after its entry into force and fifteen years after its first proclamation, it is being taken seriously, and whether its use and effective impact within the legal orders and practice of the European Union and Member States can realistically improve in the coming years.The contributions are structured and organized around three main themes, “The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights as a Legal Instrument: General Issues”, “The Charter and Social Rights”, and “Assessing the Legal Impact of the Charter at the National Level”. Scholars and experts participating in the book have conducted, under the supervision of its editor, extensive and in-depth analysis on the many issues raised by each of these themes. The result is a fascinating and varied collection of essays that combines high academic quality with great practical usefulness.
The volume contains articles from high-ranking experts from politics and academia of different Member States about the basic principles of the actual constitutional law of the European Union and its need of reform through a Constitution for Europe. By analysing the rules to govern a Europe of 25 and in time 28 and more Member States the publication intends to make a contribution to the emerging "Ius Publicum Europaeum".

El mundo de las relaciones laborales es cada vez más complejo, y el derecho laboral, en tanto busca regular los posibles conflictos que se dan entre los trabajadores y sus empleadores, debe mantenerse a la par. El fenómeno de la convencionalización del derecho en el ámbito del sistema interamericano de derechos humanos ha abordado también el tema de los derechos laborales, cada vez con mayor intensidad.

We live in an era of proliferating international legal domains and institutions, not least in the human rights field. For some, normative pluralism within human rights is inevitable, and even desirable. Others view it as a threat to the integrity and coherence of international human rights protection. How far do human rights standards and their interpretation by different regional and international human rights systems diverge? To what extent do human rights bodies ‘borrow’ from or influence each other in respect of their case law, practices and procedures? Is global human rights protection fragmenting or heading towards greater coherence? This edited collection addresses these questions through the insights of leading scholars and jurists with first-hand experience of human rights adjudication and litigation.
