Desde los enfoques tradicionales sobre derechos humanos, los agentes transnacionales quedan fuera de la legislación que protege estos derechos. Los procesos de globalización han incrementado el número y la tipología de estos actores que parecen no vinculados directamente por las normas de derechos humanos. El resultado puede traducirse en una crisis del Estado como protector y transgresor único de los derechos, y en una necesidad de nuevos enfoques que otorguen eficacia a los mecanismos de responsabilidad. El objetivo es argumentar a favor de la "eficacia frente a terceros" de los derechos humanos y poner de manifiesto la necesidad de transparencia en los mecanismos que rodean la creación de la lex mercatoria.

This work provides a brief description of the various political and economic contexts that enabled the incorporation of human rights in different Argentine institutions, starting with informal education and eventually coming to form part of the curricula at all educational levels. Its purpose is to visualize how human rights education developed and which spheres of the Argentine culture drove and demanded the need for human rights and human rights education. Since one of the purposes of education is to train citizens, this article intends to show that the practice of human rights is a way of exercising citizenship and that the educational sphere is the proper context for human rights to gain respect in diverse cultural practices. ; En este trabajo se efectúa una caracterización sintética de los diversos contextos políticos y económicos que fueron habilitando la incorporación de los derechos humanos en diversas instituciones de la República Argentina, pasando por zonas educativas informales y no formales; es decir, comunitarias y jurídicas, hasta llegar a formar parte de las currículas de todos los niveles educativos. El propósito es visualizar cómo se fue desarrollando y desde cuáles esferas de la cultura se fue impulsando y demandando la necesidad de educar en y para los derechos humanos. Dado que uno de los fines de la educación es la necesidad de formar a la ciudadanía, este artículo pretende hacer visible que los derechos humanos son un modo de ejercerla y que la esfera educativa es el contexto propiamente dicho para que los derechos humanos se respeten en las diversas prácticas culturales.

Se ofrece una reflexión de la pena de muerte, que parte de premisas esenciales desde la bioética y los derechos humanos. Se plantean algunas generalidades de esta disciplina, dado que orientan a un cuestionamiento respecto al aporte de la ciencia y la tecnología para llevar a cabo "ejecuciones más humanas". Enseguida se recurre a los conceptos de vida, persona y dignidad para enmarcar el argumento en los derechos humanos. Se retoman algunas sentencias de documentos internacionales apelando a un desarrollo del hombre desde la ética: la práctica de la pena máxima, por el contrario, lo retiene. Así pues, se anticipa que lo humano nunca se hallará en la aniquilación de su propio género.

Today we find it hurts a city that neoliberalism required to hide their conflicts, ordered him to say nice and pacified while hiding in her womb and exacerbates the conflict and reality that affects so magnified prisons and that's where it ends political models, democracies broken and battered Social State of Law.

The paper explores early post-war human rights language by looking at the drafting of the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), with a focus especially on the concept of 'dignity'. 'Human dignity' has been regarded as a central, even undisputable concept in discourse related to human rights since the Second World War. The first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states how "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood". By looking at the preparatory work on the first article, and the related political choices and conceptual disputes, the paper will emphasise the political and rhetorical character of the concept of 'human dignity'.

All companies, regardless of the sector they belong to, can positively or negatively impact human rights. Governments are increasingly aware of the benefits that free trade brings their nations, which has led them to do whatever is necessaryto attract foreign investment, even if it means to act against the interests of their own people. The power relationship between corporations and states generates a tension derived from their nature: while the objective of states is the welfare ofits members, the purpose of corporations is profit. It is in the crack generated by the collision of powers and purposes between these two actors, that this article is intended to raise the discussion on the need to establish an international framework for corporate liability for human rights violations. To achieve its goal, the article will analyze the opportunities and obstacles raised by the exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction in the American context and its relationship with the developments in the business and human rights field.
