Book Description
El libro sobre justicia transicional, coordinado por el doctor Carlos Arturo Gómez Pavajeau, cuyos capítulos fueron escritos por estudiantes de la Maestría en Ciencias Penales y Criminológicas de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, es un valioso material de estudio y consulta porque aborda diversos temas de actualidad y discusión en la justicia transicional, algunos de los cuales son analizados desde perspectivas netamente jurídicas y otros teniendo en cuenta elementos sociológicos, psicológicos y filosóficos, con lo que se enriquece de manera sustancial el contenido del libro. Debe ponerse de relieve que los estudiantes de maestría que desarrollaron los diversos temas que se exponen en la obra realizaron un destacable trabajo de investigación que les permitió llegar a interesantes propuestas en temas sustanciales y procesales, tales como: 1) un novedoso concepto de culpabilidad que propone que al momento de analizar esta categoría dogmática se tenga en cuenta la responsabilidad que le resulta imputable al Estado por no haber realizado de manera correcta su función y haber propiciado condiciones de violencia; 2) el planteamiento de aplicación de principio de oportunidad para campesinos pequeños cultivadores de coca, como solución para definirles la situación jurídica; 3) los enfoques de diversidad de género en el proceso penal, los cuales proponen tener en cuenta la calidad de las víctimas al momento de la reparación, distinguiendo si se trata de mujeres, niños, ancianos, discapacitados, comunidades étnicas, raciales o LGTBI; 4) responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas en el marco del conflicto armado por razón del papel protagónico que tuvieron en él; 5) restitución de tierras y tratamiento de terceros de buena fe -segundos ocupantes-; 6) amnistías e indultos para miembros de la fuerza pública; 7) fines de la pena y sanciones aplicables en la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz; 8) participación en política de excombatientes; 9) máximos responsables y 10) tratamiento de los inimputables.

Transitional Justice Theories
Author: Susanne Buckley-Zistel
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135055068
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Transitional Justice Theories is the first volume to approach the politically sensitive subject of post-conflict or post-authoritarian justice from a theoretical perspective. It combines contributions from distinguished scholars and practitioners as well as from emerging academics from different disciplines and provides an overview of conceptual approaches to the field. The volume seeks to refine our understanding of transitional justice by exploring often unarticulated assumptions that guide discourse and practice. To this end, it offers a wide selection of approaches from various theoretical traditions ranging from normative theory to critical theory. In their individual chapters, the authors explore the concept of transitional justice itself and its foundations, such as reconciliation, memory, and truth, as well as intersections, such as reparations, peace building, and norm compliance. This book will be of particular interest for scholars and students of law, peace and conflict studies, and human rights studies. Even though highly theoretical, the chapters provide an easy read for a wide audience including readers not familiar with theoretical investigations.

A Violent Peace
Author: Carolyn N. Biltoft
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022676642X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
"Confronted with the roiling changes of the post-WWI world--from growing stateless populations to the resurgence of right-wing movements--the League of Nations aimed to counteract dangerous conflicts between national interests and generate instead a transnational, cosmopolitan dialogue on truth and justice. Amid widespread anxiety over truth and falsehood, an army of League personnel produced streams of documents in the pursuit of "shaping global public opinion." Combining the tools of global intellectual history and cultural history, A Violent Peace explores the power and the vulnerability of information systems while laying bare "the anatomy of fascism" in the interwar period. Carolyn Biltoft reopens the archives of the League to show how its attempt to operationalize information science in support of the post-WWI order proved ultimately pyrrhic as informational power struggles devolved into violence. A meditation on instability in information systems, the allure of fascism, and the contradictions at the heart of a global and violent modernity, A Violent Peace paints a rich portrait of the emergence of the age of information--and all its attendant problems"--

Sustainable Development: Concepts, Rationalities and Strategies
Author: Sylvie Faucheux
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401731888
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
3 decision support techniques that do not depend exclusively on market incentives and monetary valuation. The World Conservation Strategy published by the mCN (1980) recognised the full dimensions of these problems, and introduced the concept of sustainable development, placing the emphasis on the exploitation of natural systems and the use of biological natural resources within limits so that the availability of these resources for use by future generations would not be jeopardised by the current use of them. At this time, the imposition of quotas and the definition of critical loads and environmental standards were suggested as the sorts of instruments necessary to cope with the problems of limited availability of environmental resources. Although the mCN publication did not obtain a high international profile, the idea of policy norms to respect critical loads has become quite widely accepted in the environmental policymaking of Western countries. This has often put the policy agencies in difficult situations. Polluting industries are inclined to argue that the critical loads are defined too restrictively. The complexity and time lags of ecological effects makes it hard to say exactly what constitutes a critical load beyond which there will be irreversible damage, and lobbying interests can play on these uncertainties to try and weaken the environmental standards. In addition, polluting industries can use the argument of negative impacts on "the economy" (particularly as regards employment and export prospects) to blackmail governments, regulatory agencies and the general public.

The Atrocity Paradigm
Author: Claudia Card
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199881790
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
What distinguishes evils from ordinary wrongs? Is hatred a necessarily evil? Are some evils unforgivable? Are there evils we should tolerate? What can make evils hard to recognize? Are evils inevitable? How can we best respond to and live with evils? Claudia Card offers a secular theory of evil that responds to these questions and more. Evils, according to her theory, have two fundamental components. One component is reasonably foreseeable intolerable harm -- harm that makes a life indecent and impossible or that makes a death indecent. The other component is culpable wrongdoing. Atrocities, such as genocides, slavery, war rape, torture, and severe child abuse, are Cards paradigms because in them these key elements are writ large. Atrocities deserve more attention than secular philosophers have so far paid them. They are distinguished from ordinary wrongs not by the psychological states of evildoers but by the seriousness of the harm that is done. Evildoers need not be sadistic:they may simply be negligent or unscrupulous in pursuing their goals. Cards theory represents a compromise between classic utilitarian and stoic alternatives (including Kants theory of radical evil). Utilitarians tend to reduce evils to their harms; Stoics tend to reduce evils to the wickedness of perpetrators: Card accepts neither reduction. She also responds to Nietzsches challenges about the worth of the concept of evil, and she uses her theory to argue that evils are more important than merely unjust inequalities. She applies the theory in explorations of war rape and violence against intimates. She also takes up what Primo Levi called the gray zone, where victims become complicit in perpetrating on others evils that threaten to engulf themselves. While most past accounts of evil have focused on perpetrators, Card begins instead from the position of the victims, but then considers more generally how to respond to -- and live with -- evils, as victims, as perpetrators, and as those who have become both.

Failed Statebuilding
Author: Oliver Richmond
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300175310
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Western struggles—and failures—to create functioning states in countries such as Iraq or Afghanistan have inspired questions about whether statebuilding projects are at all viable, or whether they make the lives of their intended beneficiaries better or worse. In this groundbreaking book, Oliver Richmond asks why statebuilding has been so hard to achieve, and argues that a large part of the problem has been Westerners’ failure to understand or engage with what local peoples actually want and need. He interrogates the liberal peacebuilding industry, asking what it assumes, what it is getting wrong, and how it could be more effective.
