Demagogia E Inacción Estatal. Derechos Fundamentales Y La Carga De La Prueba En Los Procesos De Declaración Judicial De Paternidad Extramatrimonial., Beatriz Ramirez 2011 Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru

Demagogia E Inacción Estatal. Derechos Fundamentales Y La Carga De La Prueba En Los Procesos De Declaración Judicial De Paternidad Extramatrimonial., Beatriz Ramirez

Beatriz Ramirez

En este artículo la autora crítica la reforma instaurada por la Ley Nº 29715 que invierte la carga de la prueba en los procesos de filiación de paternidad extramatrimonial pues esta medida no soluciona el problema para el que se planteó como remedio y porque altera las reglas del debido proceso amparando la inacción estatal en su rol garante de los derechos fundamentales, entre ellos el derecho a la identidad de modo que pueda ser reivindicado efectivamente ante el sistema de justicia.

Freedom Of Religion In Practice: Exemptions Under Anti-Discrimination Laws On The Basis Of Religion, Neil J. Foster 2011 University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia

Freedom Of Religion In Practice: Exemptions Under Anti-Discrimination Laws On The Basis Of Religion, Neil J. Foster

Neil J Foster

Recognition of “human rights” often involves the need to balance one set of rights against another. While anti‐discrimination laws generally are designed to outlaw decision‐making on irrelevant grounds, recognition of “freedom of religion” (a clear human right acknowledged in the international covenants on the area) requires acknowledging that decision‐making in many areas on religious grounds is not irrelevant, and hence requires careful crafting of appropriate exemptions to otherwise blanket prohibitions against discrimination. But in many ways there has been a subtle shift in recent decades away from a fully‐orbed recognition of human rights, towards an absolutist prohibition of discrimination alone. …


Referenda And The District Of Columbia's Human Rights Act: Voting On Same-Sex Marriage In The Nation's Capital, Jacob Stewart 2011 George Mason University

Referenda And The District Of Columbia's Human Rights Act: Voting On Same-Sex Marriage In The Nation's Capital, Jacob Stewart

Legislation and Policy Brief

Beginning with Massachusetts in 2003, the courts and legislatures of many states have had to decide whether same-sex marriage is or should be a fundamental right under their respective constitutions. Although only five states and the District of Columbia legally perform same-sex marriages, a few other jurisdictions are in the process of proposing laws moving in that direction. However, the vast majority of states are holding fast to the traditional heterosexual definition of marriage. Thirty-eight states have adopted some sort of Defense of Marriage Act, constitutional amendment, or similar measure that defines marriage as the union between one man and …

Brief Of Amici Curiae Public Justice, The Prisoners’ Rights Project Of The Legal Aid Society Of The City Of New York, And The Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project In Support Of Plaintiffs-Appellees, Alexander A. Reinert

Amicus Briefs

Public Justice is a national public interest law firm dedicated to preserving access to justice, remedying government and corporate wrongdoing, and holding the powerful accountable in courts. As part of its access-to-justice work, Public Justice created an Iqbal Project in 2009 to combat misuse of the Supreme Court’s decision in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S. Ct. 1937 (2009). The Project tracks developments in the case law and provides assistance to counsel facing Iqbal-based motions. Public Justice is concerned that overbroad readings of Iqbal threaten to deny justice to many injured plaintiffs with meritorious claims.

In addition to Public …
