Transitional justice in Colombia

Here we try to discuss both the problems of the procedure of Law 975 of 2005 and the demobilization, disarmament and reintegration processes linked to it, as well as the issues specific to the current Comprehensive System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition. This line of research becomes relevant, since with Transitional Justice in Colombia an optimism has been reproduced in the use of punishment and criminal law as transitional measures, to which the termination of the armed conflict has been subordinated.

judicial review of measures of criminal investigation

This research emphasis revolves around the question of how the intervention of the judge should be in the face of criminal investigation acts by the Attorney General's Office. In this investigative framework, the main jurisprudential precedents on the subject will be discussed. In addition, the main doctrinal references (national and foreign) will be described and compared, in order to identify the fundamental axioms of the intervention of the judge in the control of criminal investigation acts.

Digitization and Human Rights

The resizing of real experience through digitalization supposes an exposure of fundamental interests to possibilities of interference against which previously there was no projection of limits. To this extent, the problematization of digitalization through the filter of human rights is justified. With this I seek to identify, first of all, how human rights can be guidelines for the configuration of digital developments. Secondly, how we can strengthen the protection of those fundamental rights that are most susceptible to being affected in the digital world. Thirdly, what could be the mandates aimed at ensuring greater transparency regarding the evolution of digital devices. In the different publications on this topic I have tried to establish the idea that involvement in before, during and after digital developments would allow a better projection of human rights as effective limits of digital power.

Criminal law and public health

The fight against the coronavirus has given us the possibility of observing how we function punitively, that is, also, how many social, political and human deficits are compensated by confinement. In this framework I try to explore the following question: What sense could it have and where would it lead us to confront COVID-19 or each new virus through criminal threats and confinements?
