EL CONVENIO EUROPEO DE DERECHOS HUMANOS Y SU INCIDENCIA EN EL DERECHO A LA VIDA FAMILIAR DE LAS PERSONAS EXTRANJERAS

Palavras-chave:

Right to family life; foreigners people; European Convention on Human Rights.

Resumo

The present contribution aims to analyze the complex and evolving case law of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the respect for “family life” as enshrined in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The objective is to examine the impact that this dynamic jurisprudential development has on the protection of family life for foreign individuals, particularly in cases of family reunification and expulsion from European territory. To achieve this, an inductive methodological approach has been chosen, combining the analysis of the case law of the Strasbourg Court with the main doctrinal works in the field, which is essential to understand the scope of the analyzed regulations. From the analysis of Strasbourg jurisprudence in this matter, it can be inferred that there is a need to reconsider the Court’s approach to the balancing of interests, particularly the primary consideration of the best interests of the child in cases where denia

CERTIFICADO EUROPEU DE PARENTALIDADE: aspectos sobre a proposta de reconhecimento de filiação de casais homoparentais na união europeia

Palavras-chave:

Famílias homoparentais; União Europeia; Regulação.

Resumo

O presente artigo aborda as dificuldades das famílias homoparentais no aspecto das regulamentações e normas de direito internacional privado, especialmente sobre as condições para reconhecimento de parentalidade em relação aos seus filhos e, consequentemente, as implicações sobre a nacionalidade e livre circulação dessas crianças e adolescentes. Para a elaboração da pesquisa, foi adotada a metodologia exploratória bibliográfica, com o objetivo de analisar quais são e se há regras atualmente que possuem o condão de regular tais questões, de modo que um Certificado Europeu de Parentalidade poderia suprir a falta delas e garantir a aplicação dos direitos fundamentais às famílias arco-íris. Para isso, apresentou-se um estudo de caso através da análise jurisprudencial, além de outras decisões paradigmas com relação ao tema, diretivas e tratados. Por fim, os resultados obtidos indicam que a existência de um Certificado Europeu de Parentalidade é fundamental para garantir a existência de condições dignas às famílias homoparentais.

FAMILIAS TRANSNACIONALES IBEROAMERICANAS: una revisión de las reglas de competencia judicial internacional que acompañen a la mujer migrante

Palavras-chave:

Transnational families; parental responsibility; international jurisdiction.

Resumo

This paper provides some keys to better respond to cases of parental responsibility that arise in transnational families. In particular, we look at women of Ibero-American origin who have arrived in Spain in an economic migration leaving their children in the care of relatives or close people in their States of origin. To do this, firstly, an analysis of the differences between transnational and cross-border families is made, emphasizing the family relocation that exists in transnational families and the need, therefore, as a singular reality, to also provide specific answers. Next, the rules of international judicial jurisdiction are analyzed, in particular, the Hague Convention of 1996 and it is analyzed, through various sentences, how the Spanish courts have applied it. In this application, it is detected that there is an absolute lack of gender perspective and the need for flexibility in the responses, taking into account the special situation in which mothers, residing in Spain, find themselves with their children in their States of origin.

NUEVAS APORTACIONES DEL SISTEMA INTERAMERICANO DE DERECHOS HUMANOS A LAS NECESIDADES DE INTERÉS PRIVADO DE FLUJOS MIGRATORIOS

Resumo

The article addresses the study of the transformation in migratory profiles, categories in which people are placed as migrants, which due to the globalization of migratory flows have created new challenges of migratory regulation. The countries belonging to the Inter-American Human Rights System, in order to face these challenges, have developed tools that codify the application of conventional instruments to once again open the possibility of a more dynamic normative unification. The control of conventionality is one of the key points on which the analysis of the internal application of the national regulations of the countries is in harmony with the international criteria and that has undoubtedly materialized in the unified codification of the internal law of the members. , so that it is relevant for migration policy, because the migrant as a global citizen will not have a single legal framework, but rather starts from a particular territorial area, to later move beyond the traditional spheres of power, for the capacity it has to relate to other subjects of international law. Thus, the study finally moves to those tools of conventional interpretation and those created with the objective of governing the private relations of migratory flows in the territories of the members of the community.

DIGITALIZACIÓN DE LAS NORMAS EN MATERIA COOPERACIÓN JUDICIAL INTERNACIONAL

Palavras-chave:

International legal assistance; digitization; notification.

Resumo

In international judicial assistance, the private interests of the litigants are at stake. In this context, regulations have begun to emerge, with a marked technological context, in order to improve the efficiency and speed of judicial procedures and ensure the proper administration of justice in cases with cross-border repercussions. For this reason, we intend to analyze the regulatory frameworks at the European level, the new Regulations 2020/1784 and 2020/1783, in terms of “notification and transfer of documents” and the “obtaining of evidence”, and, in the absence of application, of the regulations European Union will have to comply with the provisions of international agreements, in this case, we want to make a special assessment regarding the possible application of the e-Apostille, which will be applied between countries of the European Union and Latin America. With all this, it is intended to design and provide better services in accordance with the needs and demands of citizens and companies.

INTERNACIONALIZACIÓN DE SOCIEDADES ARGENTINAS MEDIANTE TRASLADO DE SEDE SOCIAL A LA UNIÓN EUROPEA, TOMANDO COMO EJEMPLOS DE PAÍSES DE DESTINO A ALEMANIA Y ESPAÑA

Palavras-chave:

Global; mobility; companies

Resumo

This paper deals with the global mobility of Argentinean companies, specifically with the transfer of their registered office to the European Union (EU), taking Germany and Spain as examples of destination countries. The aim is to demonstrate that such a transfer is possible, although there is no detailed procedure in the analyzed laws. Applicable laws and regulations, academic opinions and decisions of administrative bodies and Courts are studied and analyzed; as far as legally admissible, analogy is used to integrate regulatory gaps. The tax aspects of the transaction from the point of view of Argentina are summarized, and more broadly the corporate aspects from the point of view of the EU and the three jurisdictions involved, as well as the requirements for registering a transaction of this nature before the Registers of Commerce from Argentina and Spain. It is concluded that it is possible to transfer the registered office of an Argentinean company to the EU, that it is possible for Spain to be the country of destination, and that it is also possible for Germany to be the final destination in the event that the company has become subject to EU law as a result of a change of its registered office to a Member State of the European Union (e.g. Spain), since Germany does not currently allow the cross-border transformation of companies from third countries.

LA PARTICIPACIÓN DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA EN LOS CONVENIOS DE LA CONFERENCIA DE LA HAYA DE DERECHO INTERNACIONAL PRIVADO Y SUS RELACIONES CON LOS REGLAMENTOS

Palavras-chave:

European Union; Regulation 1215/2012; Regulation 2019/1111; Conventions of the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

Resumo

This paper analyses the competence of the European Union to regulate questions of private international law and how this has affected the negotiation of agreements with third States, where the European Union also plays a leading role. In relation to this, the participation of the European Union in the conventions of the Hague Conference on Private International Law and the relations established with the Regulations of the European Union are analysed. The paper starts by analysing the most important Regulations adopted by the European Union regarding international jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judicial decisions – Regulation 1215/2012 in civil and commercial matters and Regulation 2019/1111 on matrimonial crises and parental responsibility issues- to then identify the Conventions of the Hague Conference on Private International Law on overlapping matters and analyse the relations between them. As can be seen, the relations are easy to articulate in the area of recognition and enforcement of judicial decisions, given the inter partes nature of these rules, but greater difficulties arise in relation to international jurisdiction rules, which raises criticism in the European Union.

EL ACCESO Y LA COMERCIALIZACIÓN DE ALIMENTOS EN MERCADOS INTEGRADOS: Un puente que une aspectos privados y públicos

Palavras-chave:

European Union; MERCOSUR; Food; Consumers; Quality; Information; Labeling.

Resumo

The purpose of this paper is to analyze what are the changes in the legal regulation on food in the European Union (EU) and in the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR) that have occurred in recent times to account for the impact on the actions of legal and natural persons as consumers in integrated spaces. It starts from the premise that -currently- there are three purposes pursued by legislation issued both locally and regionally: food safety, quality and competitiveness. The regional legal framework must ensure that the rules applied to food allow a wide offer to ensure competition in the regional market, and at the same time that food is safe and of high quality so that consumers have the possibility of choosing freely. The jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), exemplifies, through its interpretation – in selected cases – of the norms concerning the multiple facets – from the introduction and circulation (commercialization) of a food in the regional market- and allows reflection from the public (member states-third states) and private (operators and consumers) spheres on the importance of the rules. The main data collection technique used -in this work- is the analysis of documentation from the EU regulatory framework, both original and secondary law – in particular, Parliament and Council regulations, or directives – as well as the analysis of jurisprudence of the CJEU, through which secondary data is collected -mainly Decisions of the Common Market Council (CMC), Resolutions of the Common Market Group (GMC), Directives of the Common Market Trade Commission (CCM)-. In relation to the data analysis procedures, qualitative and comparative analyses are used.

PARTY AUTONOMY IN THE CHOICE OF LAW: some insights from Brazil

Palavras-chave:

Private international law; party autonomy; international contracts.

Resumo

O sistema de direito internacional privado brasileiro permaneceu inalterado por quase setenta anos, enquanto vários países ao redor do mundo promulgaram novas legislações nesse campo. Apesar da grande inserção comercial das empresas brasileiras no mercado mundial, o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro ainda é muito resistente em aceitar a autonomia das partes na escolha da lei. Diante desse cenário, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a atual divergência de opinião sobre o princípio da autonomia das partes no direito internacional privado brasileiro, destacando as diferentes perspectivas sobre o seu alcance na ausência de dispositivos legislativos explícitos. O objetivo específico é analisar se a legislação, a doutrina e a jurisprudência brasileiras aplicáveis aos contratos internacionais são capazes de fornecer respostas relevantes aos atuais desafios das trocas comerciais internacionais, como a possibilidade de utilização de cláusula compromissória como válvula de escape à inflexibilidade do sistema

DESARROLLO SUSTENTABLE EN EL ACUERDO DE ASOCIACIÓN MERCOSUR-UNIÓN EUROPEA: tensiones y expectativas

Palavras-chave:

Soft Law; Hard Law; Sustainable Development; Jus Cogens.

Resumo

This article offers an internationalist perspective on the environmental issue within interregional agreements, focusing on the European Union-Mercosur Free Trade Association Agreement, which is currently in the process of ratifications. We qualitatively analyze the history and evolution of international environmental law, the importance of the indicative origin of said legal discipline, and the dialogue of sources typical of Public International Law in order to highlight the strengths of Soft Law in the construction of a global paradigm of. Sustainable Development. We consider the aspects of environmental regulations, where the legal nature of the right to sustainable development is analyzed, as well as the limitation of the sovereignty of States in these issues; in conceiving it as a fundamental right of the human person and an international jus cogens norm. The sustainable development article of the Agreement is considered as a relevant point of analysis, and how it could have an impact on the dispute resolution mechanisms and procedures established by MERCOSUR and the European Union regarding disputes that may arise in relation to commercial activities that may affect the environment. The methodology was deductive, with bibliographic survey, analysis of jurisprudence and exegesis of normative texts.
