IN DEFENCE OF THE RIGHTS OF THE EXCLUDED CLASSES: A PROPOSAL BASED ON THE THOUGHT AND WORK OF MIGUELINA ACOSTA CÁRDENAS
No full textObjective: This work aims to gather the philosophical thought of Miguelina Acosta through a systematic study of her life and work in order to find an effective proposal to address the problems of the excluded classes.
Theoretical framework: This research is developed from a contemporary perspective focused on neoindigenism, but also takes for its philosophical construction a political, legal and sociological analysis that allows the construction of an integrated response.
Method: Firstly, the dissonance between the factual reality and the Peruvian legal structure, which are unfavourable to the causes of neoindigenist struggles, was analysed. Secondly, it was analysed the implications of the visibility of social demands as a propelling entity for change, which is also necessary in a class-based society that ignores ‘the other’. Finally, the need for social awareness was evaluated as a preponderant factor for the sustainability of change.
Results and Discussion: From the constructive analysis, the need to develop a solution perspective that integrates the three perspectives studied, not as a cause-effect sequence of one over the other, but as a mutual coexistence that guarantees the success of the others, can be raised.
Research Implications: By addressing the problem of the excluded classes from this tripartite approach, the problem of the other ceases to be an individual need for recognition, and becomes a social need of integration in which all individuals are collectively part of the solution.
Originality/Value: Through this research work, it seeks to contribute to the social discussion for the integration of the other in an equitable way. Further research that seeks the materialisation of this approach would expand the effectiveness of the proposed strategy
LA CAÍDA DE RUE V. WADE: EL DERECHO AL ABORTO DE LAS MUJERES EN ESTADOS UNIDOS DESDE UNA PERSPECTIVA INTERNACIONAL
No full textIntroduction: El presente artículo hace un análisis de la evolución que ha tenido la figura del aborto en la jurisdicción norteamericana, por un paso de la ilegalidad, a la legalidad y luego, de nuevo, a la ilegalidad. En este contexto discutimos el derecho a la dignidad, a la libre disposición del cuerpo y la salud y los derechos reconocidos por la constitución americana. También hacemos un recuento de la regulación de esta figura en otros países y la mirada de la comunidad internacional respecto a este tema.
Objetivo: El objetivo de este artículo es efectuar un análisis de la evolución que ha tenido la figura del aborto en la jurisdicción norteamericana, por un paso de la ilegalidad, a la legalidad y luego, de nuevo, a la ilegalidad
Marco Teórico: Norma MacCorvey, bajo el pseudónimo de Jane Roe, demandó a Henry Wade, fiscal de Dallas que hizo efectiva una ley del Estado de Texas que prohibía el aborto, a excepción de cuando la vida de la mujer se encontraba en riesgo. El precedente Roe vs. Wade, permitió a las estadounidenses ejercer de forma libre su derecho al aborto. Sin embargo, en el 2018 el Estado de Missisipi aprobó la Ley Gestacional, prohibiendo expresamente el aborto. La preocupación radica en que hay un total de 13 Estados que están planeando prohibir de manera inmediata el aborto
Metodología: El enfoque metodológico es de una investigación cualitativa, descriptiva y analítica; doctrinal, basada en los derechos humanos, el derecho constitucional, el derecho comparado, y alude a la jurisprudencia sobre el tema a nivel nacional e internacional.
Resultados: La contribución realizada evidencia el derecho a la dignidad, a la libre disposición del cuerpo y la salud y los derechos reconocidos por la constitución americana. También hacemos un recuento de la regulación de esta figura en otros países y la mirada de la comunidad internacional respecto a este tema.
Discusión: Los jueces de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos votaron a favor en el caso Dobbs vs la Organización de Salud Femenina Jackson, dado que la Constitución no reconocía el derecho al aborto, por lo que todos los precedentes en la materia habían hecho una interpretación incorrecta en la materia controvertida. La decimocuarta enmienda de la Constitución Estadounidense reconoce el Derecho a la Privacidad. Después del precedente Roe vs Wade se clasificó este derecho como fundamental. El derecho a la privacidad está reconocido de forma expresa en la Constitución, aunque no reconoce expresamente el derecho al aborto, sino protege la capacidad de decidir sobre uno mismo y la primacía de la decisión de la mujer gestante sobre las interferencias del Estado sobre su cuerpo, en tanto el periodo de gestación no exceda las 12 semanas, plazo en el que el embarazo es inviable
CONSECUENCIAS JURÍDICAS DE DECLARACIÓN DE INSOLVENCIA DE PERSONAS NATURALES Y SU COMPATIBILIDAD CON LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS
No full textObjetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar las consecuencias jurídicas de declaración de insolvencia de personas naturales y su compatibilidad con los derechos humanos, estableciendo comparaciones entre la legislación ecuatoriana y otros ordenamientos jurídicos.
Marco teórico: Este estudio comprende el análisis de la declaración de insolvencia, en ese contexto se destaca el rol del acreedor y el deudor para iniciar el proceso concursal. Se examinan distintas normas jurídicas que explican la insolvencia, sus tipos y efectos en la legislación ecuatoriana y otros países.
Método: Para desarrollar este escrito nos proponemos abordar cada uno de los aspectos planteados siguiendo un enfoque metodológico analítico y descriptivo de la norma, acudiendo al derecho comparado para identificar similitudes, validar propuestas o exponer falencias en el ordenamiento jurídico ecuatoriano.
Resultados y discusión: Se pudo identificar que la norma jurídica ecuatoriana y otros países amparan el pago de una deuda mediante el inicio de un procedimiento concursal, algunas de ellas estableciendo mejores condiciones para el insolvente. Ecuador carece regulación avanzada y esto genera vacíos jurídicos que vulneran derechos del declarado insolvente.
Implicaciones de la investigación: Al comparar la normativa nacional con la internacional, se evidenciaron notables ausencias dentro del proceso concursal ecuatoriano, sobre todo en lo que respecta a los derechos del deudor, sugiriendo la necesidad de reformas.
Originalidad/valor: El estudio aporta una perspectiva jurídica comparada del proceso concursal tomando como base lo establecido en la legislación ecuatoriana, pretendiendo salvaguardar los derechos de las partes
TAUHID-BASED SHARIA BUSINESS LAW IN INDONESIA'S DISRUPTIVE ECONOMY: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS (2020-2025)
No full textObjective: This study examines the application of tauhid-based Sharia business law in Indonesia’s disruptive economy (2020–2025), focusing on mudharabah and musyarakah financing from legal and business perspectives.
Theoretical Framework: The research is grounded in tauhid (monotheism) and Maqasid al-Shariah, which provide a philosophical foundation linking Islamic business ethics with social justice and sustainable development.
Method: A mixed-methods approach was used, combining a systematic literature review of WoS/Scopus journals with empirical analysis of OJK data on Islamic banking performance and legal compliance.
Results and Discussion: Islamic banking assets grew significantly, with profit-sharing financing showing improved performance and risk management. Tauhid-based principles enhanced resilience and aligned with SDGs, though regulatory and interpretive challenges remain.
Research Implications: The findings support regulatory reforms, educational initiatives, and further research on digital applications of Maqasid al-Shariah to strengthen Islamic finance’s role in sustainable economic empowerment.
Originality/Value: This study offers empirical insights into tauhid-based business law in a disruptive era, bridging Islamic philosophy with contemporary economic challenges in Indonesia
OFF-GRID DATA CENTRES FUELLED BY FLARED GAS: A COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS
No full textObjective: This study evaluates how regulatory frameworks in major oil-producing jurisdictions influence the regulatory predictability of flare-gas-powered off-grid data centres.
Theoretical Framework: The analysis draws on regulatory-governance literature that conceptualises predictability as the stability, transparency and coherence of legal and administrative behaviour. This framework is applied to flare-gas utilisation, private generation, environmental licensing and investor-exit mechanisms.
Method: A comparative-legal method is employed, based on qualitative analysis of legislation, investment treaties and policy instruments across seven jurisdictions: the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Nigeria and Indonesia.
Results and Discussion: Findings show that North America and the Gulf States demonstrate the highest regulatory predictability, characterised by transparent licensing, durable fiscal rules and consistent administrative practice. Indonesia reflects a progressively integrated and stablising model. Nigeria, while legally advanced, exhibits reduced predictability due to currency volatility and inconsistent regulatory implementation.
Research Implications: The study clarifies institutional features that most reliably support methane-reduction infrastructure and provides guidance for jurisdictions seeking to scale flare-gas-to-compute projects.
Originality/Value: This research offers the first cross-jurisdictional assessment of flare-gas digital infrastructure based explicitly on regulatory predictability, demonstrating its central role in investment outcomes
