Este artículo presenta unas formas de ver la justicia que pueden aportar a pensar cómo podrían forjarse unos nuevos fundamentos para generar estructuras sólidas de paz y justicia. La discusión se centra en la justicia transicional, que también es una manera de buscar o apoyar la construcción de la paz y la define como la concepción de justicia asociada con períodos de cambio político donde se reemplaza un régimen represivo por uno democrático. En esa transición, el sistema jurídico genera medidas específicas para responder a los actos injustos perpetrados durante los regímenes represivos. En esos momentos de cambio la justicia transicional es clave, pero no es la solución, y no debe ser confundida ni con la paz, ni con la justicia. El argumento central que se presenta es que en cuanto sigamos pensando la realidad dentro de los marcos de raciocinio de la justicia transicional, no estaremos viendo las posibilidades de cambio sustancial que existen fuera de este y se estará reproduciendo y reforzando los marcos que inhiben nuestra comprensión de la complejidad de la realidad y que impiden nuestra imaginación de futuros alternativos y, ante todo, justos. Pensar la justicia como expresión pública del amor (que es la definición de justicia del pensador Cornel West) y la libertad como expresión pública de común-unidad (que es una comprensión de libertad que he aprendido trabajando con Saúl Martínez, Mamo Kankuamo de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta) nos abre otros caminos, otros horizontes, otras posibilidades. También son principios importantes para imaginarnos un fundamento decolonial de la paz.

Many contemporary social movements in Latin America base their political projects upon a critique of colonialism or coloniality, and point to the problem of racism that lies at the core of human rights thinking. This article further develops these critiques by discussing two important antecedents to contemporary human rights thinking. The first concerns the construction of the hierarchical category 'human' during the conquest and colonization of America. The second concerns the ways in which a particular construction of race crystallized and played a pivotal role in the social struggles of racialized subjects in Latin America during independence and republic building. These struggles ensured that an idea of racial equality was incorporated into the legal frameworks of the newly independent Latin American countries. However, the inclusion of this idea in the legal bases of these new republics was, at the same time, used to cover over the struggles of the racialized subjects that brought them into being in the first place. This article highlights the ongoing importance of these points to contemporary human rights thinking. ; Many contemporary social movements in Latin America base their political projects upon a critique of colonialism or coloniality, and point to the problem of racism that lies at the core of human rights thinking.

"This book advances critical discussions about what coloniality, decoloniality and decolonization mean and imply in the Nordic region. It brings together analysis of complex realities from the perspectives of the Nordic peoples, a region that are often overlooked in current research, and explores the processes of decolonization that are taking place in this region. The book offers a variety of perspectives that engage with issues such as Islamic feminism and the progressive left; racialization and agency among Muslim youths; indigenizing distance language education for Sami; extractivism and resistance among the Sami; the Nordic international development endeavour through education; Swedish TV-reporting on Venezuela; creolizing subjectivities across Roma and non-Roma worlds and hierarchies; and the whitewashing and sanitization of decoloniality in the Nordic region. As such, this book extends much of the productive dialogue that has recently occurred internationally in decolonial thinking but also in the areas of critical race theory, whiteness studies, and postcolonial studies to concrete and critical problems in the Nordic region. This should make the book of considerable interest to scholars of history of ideas, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, international development studies, legal sociology and (intercultural) philosophy with an interest in coloniality and decolonial social change"--

This paper provides a reading of the European border regime taking special interest in Denmark through an analysis of deportation and detention. This focus allows addressing how the border regime manages and controls territories and populations by obeying a colonial and imperial logic that is a de facto enforcement of apartheid on a global and a local level, and involves European political, economic and legal frameworks. The enforcement of these frameworks is directly connected to the desire to repress the disobedience to the global apartheid structure practiced by migrants and refugees from the global south, as they move across colonially drawn national borders. Indeed, camps, border control, deportations, and other forms of state violence are tools used to manage the political and socioeconomic inequalities produced by historical colonialism and the present round of neocolonial dispossessions in the global south.
