Abstract (Introduction): Within the framework of the present capitalist system, human beings have become an important polluting agent. Current production and consumption processes do not consider the existence of finite natural resources and a planet incapable of treating the waste that the prevailing way of life generates. Given these circumstances, the study of non-linear models is of interest, which make a more rational use of the waste that the productive activity generates, favoring recycling mechanisms. The phenomenon of recycling becomes particularly relevant in the case of electrical and electronic devices, whose ability to be degraded and metabolized by planet Earth is extremely difficult. (Objective): Evaluate the feasibility of installing and starting a recycling plant for electrical and electronics items in the town of Bahía Blanca (Argentina), during 2021. (Methodology): The conventional method for evaluating investment projects was used, considering technical, legal and economic aspects. (Results): The project is not acceptable according to the profitability intended by the investor. The possibility of financing was also included, which made the project even less profitable, and the sensitivity of the results was measured, finding that the price should be 1.48 % higher than that used in the analysis. (Conclusions): Other alternatives must be explored to make this proposal profitable from an economic and financial point of view.

Resumen (Introducción): En el marco del sistema capitalista vigente, el ser humano se ha transformado en un agente significativo de contaminación. Las dinámicas productivas y de consumo actuales no contemplan la existencia de recursos naturales finitos y de un planeta incapaz de procesar los desperdicios que el modo de vida habitual genera. Dadas estas circunstancias, cobra interés el estudio de modelos no lineales, que hagan un uso más racional de los residuos derivados de la actividad productiva, los cuales favorezcan mecanismos de reciclaje. El fenómeno del reciclaje se vuelve, en particular, relevante para el caso de los artefactos eléctricos y electrónicos; la capacidad del planeta Tierra para degradarlos y metabolizarlos resulta sumamente difícil. (Objetivo): Evaluar la factibilidad de la instalación y puesta en marcha de una planta recicladora de artículos eléctricos y electrónicos en la localidad de Bahía Blanca (Argentina), durante el 2021. (Metodología): Se utilizó la metodología convencional de evaluación de proyectos de inversión, considerando aspectos técnicos, legales y económicos. (Resultados): El proyecto no es aceptable según la rentabilidad pretendida por el inversor. También se incluyó la posibilidad de un financiamiento, lo que hizo que el plan fuera menos rentable aún, y se midió la sensibilidad de los resultados: se halló que el precio debiera ser 1.48 % superior al utilizado en el análisis. (Conclusiones): Se deben explorar otras alternativas para lograr que el proyecto sea rentable desde el punto de vista económico-financiero.

ABSTRACT Introduction/framework/objectives: Artificial Intelligence has shown very intense development in recent years, in several areas, with Work Market being no exception. Furthermore, many researchers predict drastic changes in the way it is organized and consequent unemployment and associated economic, social, legal and emotional issues. The aim of this review is to summarize the data that will help to clarify the situation and better guide Occupational Health and Safety professionals. Methodology: This is a Bibliographic Review, initiated through a search carried out in April 2023 in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina and RCAAP”. Content: Artificial networks function as models with the capacity to store and use data, through simplified application algorithms. They mimic human neural networks; making the best decision, based on the information collected, making it possible to carry out tasks previously considered exclusively human. The machine progressively learns from its mistakes; that is, being able to solve problems for which they were not programmed, based on "experience", examples and analogies. Discussion and Conclusions: The consequences described in the literature regarding the interaction of Artificial Intelligence with Work are not consensual, even though most researchers consider that this will be the most abrupt and serious change faced by humanity, to the extent that it could be possible that the majority of the world's population become unemployed and without a means of subsistence, with all the associated implications, in a much shorter period of time than most can imagine. Some countries value this issue more, which is why they have already started studies or even applied practical measures to try to alleviate these problems. It would be very relevant to publicize the topic to employers, managers, human resources and workers, also evaluating how many companies apply Artificial Inteligence, in what way and how this has changed variables such as productivity, number of jobs and type of tasks; as well as what were the main mistakes made on this journey and what are the best ways to mitigate them, publicizing the process and the conclusions obtained, publishing such information in a magazine in the area.

RESUMO Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos: A Inteligência Artificial tem apresentado um desenvolvimento muito intenso nos últimos anos, em diversas áreas, não sendo o Mercado de Trabalho uma exceção. Para além disso, muitos investigadores preveem mudanças drásticas na forma de este ser organizado e consequente alteração a nível de desemprego e questões económicas, sociais, legais e emocionais associadas. Pretende-se com esta revisão sintetizar os dados que mais ajudarão a elucidar a situação e a melhor orientar os profissionais da Saúde e Segurança Ocupacionais. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em abril de 2023 nas bases de dados “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina e RCAAP”. Conteúdo: As redes artificiais funcionam como modelos com capacidade para armazenar e usar dados, através de algoritmos de aplicação simplificada. Eles imitam as redes neuronais humanas; tomando a melhor decisão, em função da informação recolhida, possibilitando a realização de tarefas anteriormente consideradas como exclusivamente humanas. A máquina aprende progressivamente com os seus erros; ou seja, passa a conseguir resolver problemas para os quais não foram programadas, em função da "experiência", exemplos e analogias. Discussão e Conclusões: As consequências descritas na literatura em relação à interação da Inteligência Artificial com o Trabalho não são consensuais, ainda que a maioria dos investigadores considere que isso será a mudança mais brusca e grave enfrentada pela humanidade, na medida em que poderá ser possível que a maioria da população mundial fique desempregada e sem meios de subsistência, com todas as implicações associadas, num prazo muito mais curto do que a maioria poderá imaginar. Alguns países valorizam mais este assunto, pelo que já iniciaram estudos ou até a aplicação de medidas práticas para tentar atenuar esses problemas. Seria muito relevante divulgar o tema perante empregadores, chefias, recursos humanos e trabalhadores, avaliando também quantas empresas aplicam a Inteligência Artificial, de que forma e como tal alterou variáveis como produtividade, número de postos de trabalho e tipo tarefas; bem como quais os principais erros executados nessa caminhada e quais as melhores formas de os atenuar, divulgando o processo e as conclusões obtidas, publicando tais informações em revista da área.

Resumen En este artículo se cuestiona la evolución del grado de integración regional en lo referente al tema migratorio con el fin de reflexionar en torno al nivel de consolidación de la gobernanza regional migratoria (GRM) en Argentina y Uruguay -Estados partes del Acuerdo sobre Residencia del Mercosur (ARM)-, y en Colombia y Perú -países asociados del mismo Acuerdo-, en un contexto de alto flujo migratorio de ciudadanos venezolanos por esta subregión suramericana. La metodología utilizada combina las perspectivas cualitativa y cuantitativa. Se demuestra que en Argentina y Uruguay se aplicó el ARM en convergencia hacia una GRM con instituciones regionales fuertes y una regulación migratoria alineada con el ARM; sin embargo, en Colombia y Perú no se aplicó el acuerdo, pero se asumieron instrumentos jurídicos ad hoc con una convergencia débil hacia una GRM y se subraya la urgencia de aplicar una gobernanza de la migración regional.

Abstract This document questions how the degree of integration in the region is evolving concerning the migration issue, which allows us to reflect on how consolidated the migration regional governance (GRM) is in countries such as Argentina and Uruguay, which are Member States of the Mercosur Residence Agreement (ARM) and Colombia and Peru which are associate countries to this same agreement, in a context of the high level of Venezuelan emigration through this South American subregion. A mixed methodology, qualitatively and quantitatively, was used. It was evidenced that Argentina and Uruguay applied the Mercosur Residence Agreement, with convergence towards a GRM; however, neither Colombia nor Peru applied the ARM until today, but instead, they have adopted ad hoc legal instruments, with which the convergence towards a GRM is weak, and the urgency of the application of regional migration governance is underlined.

ABSTRACT This paper will address the understanding of the right to political participation of Afro-Colombian women from different social scenarios, around what was stated in the Peace Agreement and its implementation, in order to understand the possible tension between state law, and the non-state, from a perspective of legal pluralism, based on interviews and documentary review in Afro feminist organizations. The document is qualitative, whose instrument is the semi-structured interview and includes three analytical axes to meet the objective of the research. The first part addresses the legal framework for the implementation of the agreements in general. In the second chapter, the testimonies, ideas and feelings of the communities of Afro women described are collected, regarding the implementation of point two of the Final Agreement; and in the third part it addresses the concept of legal pluralism as an axis of interpretation of the peace agreement on the right to political participation.

RESUMEN En el presente escrito se abordará la comprensión del derecho a la participación política de las mujeres afrocolombianas desde diferentes escenarios sociales, en torno a lo planteado en el Acuerdo de Paz y su implementación, con el fin de entender la posible tensión entre el derecho estatal y el no estatal, desde una perspectiva del pluralismo jurídico, a partir de entrevistas y revisión documental en organizaciones feministas afro. El documento es de corte cualitativo, cuyo instrumento es la entrevista semiestructurada, y comprende tres ejes analíticos para cumplir con el objetivo de la investigación. En la primera parte se aborda el marco jurídico de la implementación de los acuerdos en general; en el segundo capítulo se recogen los testimonios, ideas y sentires de las comunidades de mujeres afro descritas, sobre la implementación del punto dos del Acuerdo Final; y en la tercera parte se aborda el concepto de pluralismo jurídico como eje de interpretación del Acuerdo de Paz sobre el derecho a la participación política.

ABSTRACT This article examines the transformative potential of adopting a non-binary approach to international law, particularly focusing on international economic law. Traditional binary categories of sex and gender within legal frameworks not only restrict a comprehensive understanding of human diversity but also perpetuate systemic inequalities. By challenging these binaries, the article discusses how international law can evolve to represent global diversity more holistically. The article addresses the resistance faced when integrating non-binary perspectives due to prevailing cultural, social, and political norms. On these grounds, future research should delve deeper into how gender norms could be incorporated into international trade policies, and the intersections of gender, race, and class in our understanding of international law. Ultimately, the article advocates for an international law framework that not only acknowledges but celebrates and systematically incorporates a spectrum of gender identities, thus fulfilling its promise of universality.

RESUMEN Este artículo examina el potencial transformador de adoptar un enfoque no binario en el derecho internacional, enfocándose particularmente en el derecho internacional económico. Las categorías binarias tradicionales de sexo y género dentro de los marcos legales no solo restringen una comprensión integral de la diversidad humana, sino que también perpetúan desigualdades sistémicas. Al desafiar estos binarios, el artículo discute cómo el derecho internacional puede evolucionar para representar de manera holística la diversidad global. El artículo aborda la resistencia enfrentada al integrar perspectivas no binarias debido a las normas culturales, sociales y políticas predominantes. Sobre esta base, las investigaciones futuras podrían profundizar cómo los conceptos no binarios podrían incorporarse en las perspectivas del comercio internacional y explorar las intersecciones de género, raza y clase en nuestra compresión del derecho internacional. En última instancia, el artículo aboga por un marco de derecho internacional que no solo reconozca sino que celebre e incorpore sistemáticamente un espectro de identidades de género, cumpliendo así su promesa de universalidad.

RESUMEN En este artículo se busca explicar la situación jurídica de la población penitenciaria con discapacidad en el Perú. Para ello, se realiza un estudio sobre las personas con discapacidad dentro de la realidad penitenciaria peruana, seguido por el análisis del marco jurídico respectivo, así como los avances y desafíos locales de sus derechos. Se propone mejoras al sistema penitenciario en aras de brindar una mayor accesibilidad, disponibilidad, aceptabilidad e inclusión en los establecimientos carcelarios. Estas mejoras consisten en el trato humano de la vulnerabilidad en reemplazo de la política resocializadora tradicional en tanto finalidad de la pena y la instauración de juzgados de ejecución penal para el procesamiento de los beneficios penitenciarios. Se emplea una metodología cualitativa con diseño documental y alcance descriptivo. Por último, como principales hallazgos, dada la extrema vulnerabilidad en que vive la población penitenciaria con discapacidad en el Perú, se destaca la necesidad de dotar a la pena de prisión de fundamentos políticos distributivos, facilitando así la alineación con estándares internacionales de derechos humanos que prioricen la reducción de barreras estructurales. En este respecto, es viable la adopción de la política del trato humano y la implementación de juzgados de ejecución penal con la finalidad de reducir la vulnerabilidad de los reclusos con discapacidad y promover el respeto de sus derechos fundamentales.

ABSTRACT This article aims to elucidate the legal situation of the incarcerated population with disabilities in Peru. To achieve this, a study is conducted on individuals with disabilities within the Peruvian penal reality, followed by an analysis of the corresponding legal framework and local progress and challenges regarding their rights. Proposed improvements to the prison system aim to enhance accessibility, availability, acceptability, and inclusion in correctional facilities. These enhancements involve treating vulnerability with humane considerations, replacing the traditional rehabilitative policy as the primary purpose of punishment. Additionally, the establishment of penal execution courts is proposed for processing penitentiary benefits. A qualitative methodology with a documentary design and descriptive scope is employed. As a key finding, given the extreme vulnerability of the incarcerated population with disabilities in Peru, there is a highlighted need to imbue the prison sentence with distributive political foundations, aligning with international Human Rights standards prioritizing the reduction of structural barriers. In this regard, the adoption of a humane treatment policy and the implementation of penal execution courts are deemed viable measures to reduce the vulnerability of inmates with disabilities and promote the respect of their fundamental rights.

Abstract The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in laboratory medicine (LM) has led to a qualitative leap in the diagnosis of diseases that afflict humans. The development of robots for measurement, calculation and prediction has increased the reliability, validity and reproducibility of AI diagnostic tests, leading to an easy choice of such technology in the clinical laboratory. However, AI in LM entails several ethical reflections that need to be considered. The incipient technology under development, the presence of cognitive biases in algorithms and data, the uncertainty of robot performance, technological limitations, the threat to privacy, and the absence of a legal framework open ethical conflicts that lacerate human equity, safety, and autonomy. The technological imperative of AI in LM must not overcome responsibility, nor infringe on the dignity of the person.

Resumen El uso de la Inteligencia artificial (IA) en la Medicina de laboratorio (ML) ha provocado un salto cualitativo en el diagnóstico de enfermedades que aquejan al ser humano. El desarrollo de robots para la medición, cálculo y predicción ha aumentado la confiabilidad, validez y reproducibilidad de las pruebas diagnósticas con IA, induciendo a una fácil elección de dicha tecnología en el laboratorio clínico. Sin embargo, la IA en la ML entraña una serie de reflexiones éticas que deben considerarse. La incipiente tecnología en desarrollo, la presencia de sesgos cognitivos en los algoritmos y datos, la incertidumbre del funcionamiento del robot, las limitaciones tecnológicas, la amenaza a la privacidad y la ausencia de un marco legal abren conflictos éticos que laceran la equidad, la seguridad y la autonomía del hombre. El imperativo tecnológico de la IA en la ML no debe superar la responsabilidad, ni atentar contra la dignidad de la persona.

ABSTRACT Teleworking has become a model of service provision that necessarily requires the use of technological tools. This way of developing activities has expanded in the educational sector Since the COVID-19 pandemic, it has implemented a greater boom in the university field facing great challenges and difficulties. The objective was to analyze the strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats of telework implemented in the context of university education, during 2020-2021 at the Catholic University of Cuenca, Campus La Troncal, Ecuador In the methodology applied the qualitative approach of descriptive type, SWOT analysis, the technique of literature review, as well as the interpretation and description through focus groups. From the results, it is clear that teachers require specific skills and competencies to develop telework activities.The implementation of telework in university education presents significant opportunities, but also challenges, which must be addressed with effective strategies and a solid legal framework to ensure its successful implementation, prevent the violation of fundamental rights, and the emergence of occupational diseases that are linked to this form of labor organization.

Abstract Medical research involving human subjects requires regulations that hierarchize human rights above all scientific interest. Over 70 years ago and following regrettable human research practices, several documents that guide ethical operation of research practices involving human beings were amended internationally. Following these international standings, Mexico developed several ethical, regulatory, and legal documents that must be applied in a national level in all research involving human beings. This paper seeks to present the general regulatory framework for research involving human subjects in Mexico to facilitate its incorporation into the organic structure of medical establishments, research centers and Mexican universities that do not have a health research organization based on regulation or which requires updating.

Resumen El antecedente de lamentables prácticas de investigación en seres humanos registrado hace más de 70 años fue el origen de los acuerdos y regulaciones internacionales actuales en esta materia. En México, la legislación sobre investigación en salud se adhiere al marco regulatorio y principios internacionales de ética en investigación en seres humanos. Dicha legislación reconoce los beneficios científicos y sociales de la investigación en salud, antepone los derechos de los sujetos de investigación al interés de progreso científico y se inscribe en un marco regulatorio integrado por leyes y reglamentos aprobados por el Congreso de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, así como normas y guías expedidas por órganos desconcentrados federales, técnica y operativamente autónomos. En este trabajo, se proporciona una visión global del marco regulatorio de orden superior vigente en México, así como de las atribuciones generales de las distintas dependencias federales en materia de investigación en salud, con el objetivo de facilitar la incorporación inicial de sus distintos elementos a la estructura orgánica de los establecimientos médicos, centros de investigación y universidades mexicanas que aún no cuentan con una organización interna basada en la norma o que necesitan actualizarla.

A Revisão Periódica Universal (UPR) do Conselho de Direitos Humanos das Nações Unidas serve como um mecanismo crucial para monitorar e promover os direitos humanos globalmente. Ela proporciona uma plataforma para que os estados-membros relatem suas práticas de direitos humanos e recebam recomendações. Este estudo avalia o engajamento da Índia com a UPR, focando em seus compromissos e ações relativos aos direitos das mulheres nos primeiros três ciclos de revisão. Questões-chave como violência contra as mulheres, igualdade de gênero e direitos à saúde e reprodutivos são analisadas criticamente para entender o progresso e os desafios persistentes. O artigo avalia em profundidade a implementação das recomendações da UPR pela Índia, destacando realizações significativas e obstáculos contínuos, oferecendo insights sobre as dimensões socio-culturais, legais e políticas que afetam os direitos das mulheres na Índia. No entanto, ainda há uma grande lacuna entre os compromissos internacionais e as realidades vividas, apesar de alguns progressos terem sido feitos. Consequentemente, esses achados exigem esforços contínuos juntamente com o apoio internacional para melhorar a condição das mulheres na Índia. Este artigo conclui com recomendações para aprimorar os futuros engajamentos da Índia com a UPR e fortalecer seu quadro para proteger e promover os direitos das mulheres.

Este estudio evalúa la participación de India en la UPR, enfocándose en sus compromisos y acciones con respecto a los derechos de las mujeres a lo largo de los primeros tres ciclos de revisión. Se analizan críticamente cuestiones clave como la violencia contra las mujeres, la igualdad de género y los derechos de salud y reproductivos para comprender el progreso y los desafíos persistentes. El documento evalúa en profundidad la implementación de las recomendaciones de la UPR por parte de India, señalando logros notables y obstáculos persistentes, al tiempo que ofrece perspectivas sobre las dimensiones socio-culturales, legales y políticas que afectan los derechos de las mujeres en India. Sin embargo, a pesar de algunos avances, sigue existiendo una gran brecha entre los compromisos internacionales y las realidades vividas. En consecuencia, estos hallazgos llaman a esfuerzos continuos junto con el apoyo internacional para mejorar la situación de las mujeres en India. Este documento concluye con recomendaciones para mejorar las futuras participaciones de India en la UPR y fortalecer su marco para proteger y promover los derechos de las mujeres.

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the United Nations Human Rights Council serves as a crucial mechanism for monitoring and promoting human rights globally. It provides a platform for member states to report on their human rights practices and receive recommendations. This study evaluates India’s engagement with the UPR, focusing on its commitments and actions concerning women’s rights across the first three review cycles. Key issues such as violence against women, gender equality, and health and reproductive rights are critically analysed to understand progress and persisting challenges. The paper assesses India’s implementation of UPR recommendations in depth; pointing out noteworthy accomplishments and persisting hurdles while offering insights into socio-cultural, legal and policy dimensions affecting women’s rights in India. However, there is still a huge gap between international commitments and the lived realities despite some progress having been made. Consequently, these findings call for continuous efforts together with international support toward improving women’s status in India. This paper concludes with recommendations for enhancing India’s future engagements with the UPR and strengthening its framework for protecting and promoting women’s rights.

Abstract: This study examines the current composition of the energy matrix in Colombia, encompassing its legal framework, configuration, impacts, and future projections. This research, based on a systematic literature review, bibliometric analysis, and text mining, reveals that hydroelectric power is the primary source of clean energy. Fossil fuels, although essential for energy availability in the territory, generate the largest carbon footprint, representing a significant environmental challenge. Despite legal efforts and projections towards clean energy, limitations persist in infrastructure, technology, and social acceptance towards energy production projects. The transition to a sustainable energy system requires overcoming these technical, regulatory, and social barriers while integrating legal, environmental, social, and technological aspects into planning to meet the goals of the current matrix's energy transition, which presents a complex landscape that demands comprehensive strategies for a sustainable energy future.

Resumen: Este estudio analiza la composición actual de la matriz energética en Colombia, abarcando su marco legal, configuración, impactos y proyecciones futuras. La investigación, basada en una revisión sistemática de literatura, análisis bibliométrico y minería de texto, revela que las hidroeléctricas son la principal fuente de energía limpia. Los combustibles fósiles, si bien esenciales para la disponibilidad energética en el territorio, generan la mayor huella de carbono, lo que representa un desafío ambiental significativo. A pesar de los esfuerzos legales y las proyecciones hacia energías limpias, persisten limitaciones en infraestructura, tecnología y aceptación social hacia proyectos de producción energética. La transición hacia un sistema energético sostenible requiere superar estas barreras técnicas, regulatorias y sociales, integrando aspectos legales, ambientales, sociales y tecnológicos en la planificación para cumplir con los objetivos de la transición energética de la matriz actual, la cual presenta un panorama complejo que exige estrategias integrales para un futuro energético sostenible.

Abstract Given a diagnosis of the multiple crises, which involves a socio-environmental dimension, it is the task of a transformative political project to turn its attention to the different forms of social regulation, which forge the social framework of our ways of producing and experiencing relations with the world, whether in culture or nature. This article introduces the dossier ‘Law and Praxis 15 years: Perspectives for the horizon of the critique of law’ and proposes a political-philosophical reflection on the role of law as an institutional dimension of the multiple crises and the possibility of articulating alternatives. To this purpose, the paper intends to contribute to the foundations of the concept of the philosophy of praxis based on Gramsci's work and its reception in the Brazilian and international debates. It then proposes a new gaze to the philosophy of praxis in dialogue with the philosophy of liberation, from an ethical perspective of radical alterity - under the inflexion of the ecological turn - to overcome the traditional concept of the subject of rights. Finally, the paper concludes with an analysis of the role of law as a field of disputes, with the aim of contributing to an approach to the legal phenomenon that suggests opening up to the imagination of a future that integrates humans and nature, beyond a limited view of social relations from egocentric and anthropocentric paradigms. socioenvironmental socio environmental regulation world nature Law 1 years politicalphilosophical philosophical alternatives purpose Gramscis Gramsci s debates liberation rights Finally disputes paradigms

Resumo Face a um diagnóstico da crise múltipla, que envolve uma dimensão socioambiental, é dever de um projeto político transformador se voltar para as diferentes formas de regulação social, as quais forjam o enquadramento social de nossas maneiras de produzir e de experienciar as relações com o mundo, seja na cultura, seja na natureza. O presente artigo introduz o dossiê “Direito e Práxis 15 anos: Perspectivas para o horizonte da crítica do direito” e propõe uma reflexão político-filosófica sobre o papel do direito enquanto dimensão institucional da crise múltipla e possibilidade de articulação de alternativas. Para isso, o trabalho retoma os fundamentos do conceito de filosofia da práxis com base na obra gramsciana e suas recepções no debate brasileiro e internacional. Em seguida, propõe outro olhar para a filosofia da práxis em diálogo com a filosofia da libertação, a partir de uma perspectiva ética de radical alteridade - sob a inflexão da virada ecológica - como forma de superação do conceito tradicional de sujeito de direitos. Por fim, o trabalho conclui com uma análise sobre o papel do direito como um campo de disputas, visando contribuir com uma abordagem do fenômeno jurídico que sugere a abertura para o imaginário de um futuro que integre o humano e natureza para além de uma visão limitada das relações sociais forjada sob os paradigmas egocêntrico e antropocêntrico. socioambiental mundo cultura Direito 1 anos políticofilosófica filosófica alternativas isso internacional seguida libertação direitos fim disputas antropocêntrico

Abstract This article provides a constructive critique of Ecological Law, which has been proposed as a framework to overcome Environmental Law’s subordination to economic growth and profit maximization in disregard for socioecological justice and biophysical planetary boundaries. The article critiques Ecological Law literature for its normativist positivist approach, which neglects to analyze law as a product of power relations and as a social form of capitalism, and for overestimating law’s potential to transform the political economy. Additionally, the article addresses the shortcomings of the degrowth discourse, one of the bedrocks of Ecological Law. Finally, drawing on Pressburger and Pazello’s conceptualization of Insurgent Law and literature on the praxis of movement lawyering in Brazil, the article proposes guidelines for an Insurgent Ecological Law. This approach combines Marxist critique of law with contributions to the strategic reflections of popular movements on their use of legal tactics as part of their struggles for a post-capitalist ecosocial transition.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta uma crítica construtiva ao Direito Ecológico, arcabouço que se propõe a superar a subordinação do direito ambiental ao crescimento econômico e à maximização do lucro, desconsiderando a justiça socioecológica e os limites biofísicos planetários. A literatura do Direito Ecológico é criticada por sua abordagem normativista positivista, que falha em analisar o direito como produto de relações de poder e como uma forma social do capitalismo, além de superestimar o potencial do direito de transformar a economia política. O artigo também examina criticamente as deficiências do discurso do decrescimento, um dos fundamentos do Direito Ecológico. Com base no conceito de Direito Insurgente elaborado por Pressburger e Pazello e na literatura sobre a práxis da assessoria jurídica popular no Brasil, o artigo propõe diretrizes para um Direito Ecológico Insurgente. Esta abordagem combina a crítica marxista do direito com contribuições às reflexões estratégicas dos movimentos populares sobre o uso de táticas jurídicas em suas lutas por uma transição ecossocial pós-capitalista. lucro planetários positivista capitalismo política decrescimento Brasil póscapitalista. póscapitalista pós capitalista. capitalista pós-capitalista

Heelwat navorsing is al gedoen in 'n poging om 'n greep op aspekte van goeie en slegte plaaslike regering te kry. 'n Kernvraag wat steeds onbeantwoord bly is die volgende: Wat is "plaaslike regering", en hoe kan die werklikheid waarna die begrip verwys, verstaan en herken word? 'n Begripsraamwerk van "plaaslike regering" is onlangs ontwikkel bestaande uit die herkenbare eienskappe van die begrip om dit te identifiseer. Gepaardgaande daarmee is 'n sosiale ontologie van sorg vir "plaaslike regering" ontwikkel. Die veronderstelling is dat plaaslike regerings in Suid-Afrika en ander lande aan die hand van daardie eienskappe herken sal word. Binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks is daar egter 'n moontlike nietipiese voorbeeld van plaaslike regering, naamlik Orania, 'n bestaande dorp binne die geografiese gebied van die Thembelihle Plaaslike Munisipaliteit in die Noord-Kaapprovinsie. Orania is nie 'n muni-sipaliteit ingevolge die Suid-Afrikaanse grondwet en wetlike raamwerk nie. Die vraag is gevolglik of Orania wel as 'n "plaaslike regering" beskou kan word. In antwoord op die vraag gee hierdie artikel 'n ontiese¹ beskrywing van Orania aan die hand van die gekose begripsraamwerk en sosiale ontologie van sorg. Dit blyk uit die beskrywing en ontleding daarvan dat Orania wel aan die institusionele, funksionele en territoriale eienskappe van die begrip "plaaslike regering" voldoen en op 'n outentieke wyse as plaaslike regering funksioneer. Die gevallestudie wys dat 'n outentieke plaaslike regering een is wat 'n integrerende deel uitmaak van sy plaaslike gemeenskap en omsluitende wêrelde, wat voortdurende ongemak met die hede beleef en met sorg, besorgdheid en sorgsaamheid daarop reageer.

Much research has been conducted to grasp aspects of good and bad local governance. A central question that remains unanswered is: What constitutes "local government" and how can the reality to which this concept refers be understood and recognised? Recently, a conceptual framework was developed by identifying recognisable characteristics of this concept's reference. The assumption is that local governments in South Africa and other countries will be recognised based on these characteristics. Alongside this, a social ontology of care for "local government" was established. However, within the South African context, a potentially atypical example of local government is found, namely Orania, an existing town situated within the geographical area of the Thembelihle Local Municipality in the Northern Cape province. Orania is not a municipality in terms of the South African constitution and legal framework. The question thus arises whether Orania can indeed be considered a "local government". In response to this query, this article provides a description of Orania using the chosen conceptual framework and social ontology of care as part of a case study design. The analysis and ontological description ofOrania, by means of the conceptual framework, reveal that the phenomenon of Orania does indeed possess a territorial jurisdictional sphere (the Orania Overlay Zone), a democratically elected representative council (the OVR), and a Town Council and its administration that performs a range of local functions and responsibilities. While the territory of a municipality is generally determined by authorising measures or decisions by other jurisdictions (such as province, state, and national government), the territorial area known as the Orania Overlay Zone results from the purchase and cultivation of land by members of a homogeneous cultural community. Therefore, the territory is not only a demarcation of jurisdiction, but the place to which this community is connected. The institutional aspect of local government is likely a universal feature. The nature and scope of the institutional structure of local governments are often also the result of standardised external authorising measures or decisions by other jurisdictions. Consequently, the structures may not necessarily resonate with the needs and resources of the sometimes diverse society that constitutes the inhabitants of such an area. In the case of Orania, the institutional structure of local government (the OVR and the Town Council) is directly determined by the community, as represented by various land entities, based on the community's specific needs and available resources. The performance of a limited range of local functions can also be considered a universal feature of local government. In this particular case, the functions of the relevant local government are determined by its decision-making bodies, such as the Town Council, in consultation with the community as represented by the various land entities. Consequently, typical local government functions are performed according to the community's needs and available resources. Non-typical local government functions, such as residence rights, are performed within the general scope of the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and other national legislation. The analysis confirmed that Orania meets the characteristics consistent with the concept of "local government" as outlined in the conceptual framework. Additionally, viewing Orania through the theoretical lens of social ontology of care highlights that it is a human construct, making objective observation and description challenging. Orania is a network of interconnected individuals and social institutions situated within overlapping human, spiritual, natural, territorial, and political worlds. The authenticity of this existence lies in its concern for the affairs of the world in which it is situated and the conscientiousness with which it carries out its functions in conjunction with others. The case study shows that an authentic local government is one that forms an integral part of its local community and surrounding worlds, continually experiencing discomfort (anxiety) with the present, and responding to that anxiety with care, concern, and nurturing for society and its things.

Hierdie artikel ondersoek twee aspekte wat die outentiekheid van 'n plaaslike regering raak, naamlik die antesedente en die gevolglikheid daarvan. 'n Begripsraamwerk en 'n sosiale ontologie van sorg van "plaaslike regering" is as teoretiese lense vir die ondersoek gebruik. Wat die antesedente van plaaslike regering betref (magtiging, inwoners, natuurlike en fisiese ligging, samewerkende regerings, en vermoëns), het Orania nie as gevolg van magtigende maatreëls soos die Grondwet en voortspruitende wetgewing ontstaan nie, maar as gevolg van 'n kultuurgemeenskap se strewe en gevolglike aankoop van 'n stuk grond. Anders as die inwoners van munisipaliteite in die res van Suid-Afrika het Orania se inwoners verblyfreg verkry op grond van hul onderskrywing van Orania se ontstaansredes. Die eiesoortige fisiese ligging van Orania is doelbewus deur die grondleggers gekies en is bepalend vir die voorsiening van energie, water en ander infrastruktuur-verwante dienste deur Orania Dorpsraad. Die dorpsadministrasie blyk voorts oor voldoende fondse, raadslede en amptenare te beskik om sy funksies uit te voer en sodoende 'n tuiste vir sy gemeenskap te skep. Wat die gevolglikheid van plaaslike regering betref (lewensgehalte, demokratiese en verantwoordelike regering, volhoubare dienslewering, maatskaplike en ekonomiese ontwikkeling, en veilige en gesonde omgewing) blyk die Orania inwonersgemeenskap goeie lewensgehalte te ervaar. Hulle blyk deurlopend betrokke te wees by verskeie gemeenskapsorganisasies, 'n demokratiese en verant-woordingspligtige Orania Verteenwoordigende Raad (OVR) en dorpsadministrasie. Voorts ontvang hulle volhoubare munisipale dienslewering, ervaar maatskaplike en ekonomiese ontwikkeling en leef in 'n veilige en gesonde omgewing. 'n Outentieke plaaslike regering blyk een te wees wat goed geïntegreer is met sy plaaslike gemeenskap en omsluitende wêrelde, voortdurend ongemaklik is met die hede, en met sorg, besorgdheid en sorgsaamheid daarop reageer. Orania is klaarblyklik só 'n plaaslike regering.

Local government is distinguished from other spheres of government based on its unique institutional characteristics, the local nature of its governmental functions, and the territorial delineation of its local jurisdiction. Despite being localised, local governments often fail to meet the specific needs of their residents. The implication is that they are not authentic local governments. This article examines two aspects that have an impact on the authenticity of a local government: the necessary conditions (antecedents) for and the consequences of an authentic local government. These aspects are considered through a case study of Orania as a non-typical instance of a South African local government. A conceptual framework and a social ontology of care are used as theoretical lenses to analyse and understand the antecedents and consequences of a local government. In the preceding article, it was reported that the case of Orania does indeed align with the characteristics associated with the concept of "local government". The antecedents of local government have been shown to be authorisation, residents, natural and physical location, cooperative governments, and capabilities. It appears that Orania did not originate due to authorising measures such as the Constitution and subsequent legislation. Instead, it came about because of a cultural community's aspirations and the subsequent acquisition of a piece of land while obtaining legal authorisation at a later stage by means of an order of the High Court. The residents of Orania do not seem to be accidental inhabitants; but are residents based on their alignment with Orania's founding principles. The unique physical location of Orania was deliberately chosen and plays a crucial role in the provision of energy, water, and other infrastructure-related services by the Orania Town Council and administration. The Town Council and its administration appear to have sufficient funds, competent and ethical council members and officials to carry out its functions and create a home for its community. Regarding the consequences of local government, the Orania community seems to experience a good quality of life while actively engaging in various community organisations, participating in the democratic election of an accountable Orania Representative Council (OVR) and Town Council, receiving sustainable municipal services, and witnessing social and economic development. Additionally, they enjoy a safe and healthy environment. An authentic local government is thus one that is integrally connected to its local community and the surrounding world. It continually grapples with present challenges and genuinely cares for its community and the world it inhabits. Orania, therefore, appears to embody the characteristics of a local government.
