This article critically analyzes the fundamental right enshrined in Article 26 of the 1991 Colombian Constitution: the freedom to choose one's profession or trade. From a neoconstitutionalist approach, it examines the limits imposed by the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court in relation to the State's eventual moral commitments. It incorporates a historical, philosophical, and normative analysis of the functions of the State and the interpretive scope of judgments C-422/05, T-207/10, and C-932/14, among others. It argues that the social and democratic State model of law requires a balance between individual autonomy and the protection of human dignity, and that the Constitutional Court has oscillated between liberal and perfectionist approaches in its rulings. The article concludes with theoretical proposals to strengthen the role of constitutional law as a guiding framework for ethical and inclusive labor policies.

This article examines the necessity and legal feasibility of institutionalizing psychosocial support within the criminal procedure framework of Ukraine, particularly in the context of martial law and post-war recovery. Drawing on doctrinal legal analysis and comparative law, with special attention to the German model, the study highlights the acute psychological vulnerability of certain groups—children, persons with disabilities, war veterans, victims of war crimes—and their increased exposure to secondary victimization during criminal proceedings. Existing legislative gaps in the Ukrainian Criminal Procedure Code are identified, with emphasis on the lack of procedural mechanisms for the involvement of psychologists and facilitators. It proposes a comprehensive legal reform package, including the introduction of new procedural definitions, participant rights, and institutional roles for psychosocial facilitators. By conceptualizing psychosocial support as a form of crisis procedural communication, the study argues for its critical role in ensuring procedural fairness, dignity, and effective participation. The findings aim to inform national legislative efforts and promote alignment with international human rights standards, particularly those established under EU Directive 2012/29/EU. The article concludes with specific legislative recommendations and calls for the development of an integrated system of support services within the Ukrainian justice system.

The text examines Justo Arosemena’s contribution to the nineteenth-century Latin American debate on constitutional review. It explores the tension in his thought between skepticism toward New Granada’s Supreme Court and his critical engagement with U.S.-style judicial review, particularly regarding the limits imposed by the case-or-controversy rule and political-question doctrine. Arosemena advocates broader standing and a centralized abstract action against unconstitutional laws, anticipating mixed models of constitutional review.

The article analyzes unpaid care work in Colombia as a structural source of gender inequality, from an intersectional approach that makes visible the inequalities and forms of oppression that converge in the experiences of women caregivers. Based on a documentary and analytical-critical methodology, the article examines the normative and jurisprudential advances that have addressed the right to care, taking as a reference Nancy Fraser’s model of justice grounded in the axes of recognition, redistribution, and representation. The findings reveal significant progress in the legal recognition of care as an autonomous fundamental right by the Constitutional Court; however, there are still gaps regarding the guarantee of labor rights, social protection, and shared responsibility among the State, family, and society. It concludes that the consolidation of public policies and regulations with an intersectional approach constitutes an imperative to materialize substantive equality and ensure the autonomy of women caregivers.

La gran innovación de la Constitución Colombiana de 1991 en el campo de la Organización Territorial fue la introducción del concepto de autonomía para las Entidades Territoriales. Y no lo hizo de cualquier manera: el artículo primero definió a Colombia como "...República unitaria, descentralizada, con autonomíade sus entidades territoriales...". Además, el art. 287 aclaró el significado de esa autonomía: "Las entidades territoriales gozan de autonomía para la gestión de sus intereses y dentro de los límites de la Constitución y la Ley. En tal virtud tendrán los iguientes derechos: 1. Gobernarse por autoridades propias. 2. Ejercer las competencias que les correspondan. 3. Administrar los recursos y establecer los tributos necesarios para el cumplimiento de sus funciones. 4. Participar en las rentas nacionales". Varios artículos del Título XI, sobre Organización Territorial, inician el desarrollo de los tres primeros de estos derechos. En el Título XII, sobre el régimen económico y de la hacienda pública, el art. 338 consagra el derecho de Asambleas y Concejos para imponer tributos; y los arts. 356, 357, 358, 360 y 361 dan cuerpo al cuarto derecho, el de participar en las rentasnacionales.

La protección de los derechos laborales está hoy en día en el centro de los debates académicos y políticos sobre globalización. Al mismo tiempo que la integración económica y el desarrollo orientado hacia las exportaciones se han difundido alrededor del mundo en las últimas tres décadas, gobiernos, académicos y activistas se han ocupado cada vez mas de los efectos de tales procesos en las condiciones de trabajo, particularmente en los países en desarrollo.

El propósito de este artículo es esbozar los requisitos básicos para tener un sistema judicial efectivo en un país en desarrollo.

El libro que difundió la fama de Bernard Schlink como novelista es analizado en este artículo que estudia su trama y muestra en ella la importancia de dos ideas. La primera: la memoria, que tanto incide en el presente, es escasamente confiable. La segunda, más importante, es la idea de la culpa, vinculada con el problema complejo y antiguo de establecer si es razonable admitir que una culpa se trasmite de generación en generación. Ambas ideas son fundamentales en toda la obra literaria de Schlink.
