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.
What this book intends to do is to study three-dimensionalism (the distinction values-norms-facts) not in what could be called its historical dimension, but in its substantive aspect, as a “form” that, when applied to different legal themes, would add a “material content” to the three-dimensional theory. We can point out, as a study plan, the distinction between “three” perspectives: Those of the legal norm, of the legal order, and the legal relationship. Three-dimensionalism also appears in this work when one analyzes the “three” phases of the life of the law: The formation, the interpretation, and the application; and in the distinction between the “three” characteristics of the legal order: Fullness, coherence, and unity—the theory of legal validity, intended as legitimacy, as validity strictly speaking, or as effectiveness.

Equity is a multi-faceted subject, an authentic crossroads of problems. The perspective of this study is, as a result, a mix of focuses, which includes: the philosophy of law, general legal theory, justice theory, the history of law, comparative law, legal dogma, etc. In this book, as in various earlier studies of the author, she uses the "three-dimensional" method, which facilitates a stratified focus in agreement with three levels: facts, norms, and values. The subject of equity has never been analysed as completely as in this work. It includes a dynamic study of the different types of equity throughout history and in the different legal systems; the concept, content, limits, functions and types of equity; the relationship between equity and related ideas, and equity in all the branches of the legal order.
A Treatise of Legal Philosophy and General Jurisprudence is the first-ever multivolume treatment of the issues in legal philosophy and general jurisprudence, from both a theoretical and a historical perspective.

O Constitucionalismo da América Latina promove Estados de Transição para afastar a ocidentalização e solidificar nas Cartas Políticas a relevância das populações originárias, dos seus conhecimentos em relação à preservação da Natureza, com o intuito de reduzir a atual exploração ambiental da América Latina, emancipando-a, avultando um modelo de desenvolvimento que seja pautado no Bem Viver e promova, a sustentabilidade multidimensional. Repisa-se que o que esta obra trata não é de um retorno ao passado, mas de um debate acerca do futuro. Sendo assim, apoia-se na necessidade do fortalecimento de uma identidade na América Latina, o que implica em um maior relacionamento en...
En estos tiempos que corren los derechos humanos parecen un lujo cuestionable, de ahí la importancia que tiene hoy volver a repensar su historia y fundamento hasta llegar a las aportaciones más recientes. Es necesario redefinir el sentido propio de los derechos humanos en la actualidad, atendiendo a los derechos del individuo respecto del grupo social del que es parte, para ir más allá de la mera igualdad formal. Con este objetivo, el libro está estructurado en tres partes que analizan la historia de su gestación, su sentido en la actualidad y la necesidad de una didáctica específica que haga posible una educación plena en los derechos humanos. Así, la parte final del libro recoge ...
