The four principles of biomedical ethics are widely used in the world for bioethical deliberation. Therefore, it is understood that these theoretical guides are useful for the analysis and resolution of particularly complex ethical controversies arising in clinical and biomedical fields. This paper unfolds an analysis of the basic universal principles, the common universal morality, and some features of each principle. Then it discusses some problems posed by critics of European biolaw who have provided alternative frameworks of principles that are nonuniversal to culture. Finally, it shows how universal moral principles are connected to human rights, how rules and rights are specified to become detailed and practical for certain moralities, and how these ideas are connected with problems of justification in bioethics and biolaw.

In this paper we provide a summary of the discussions between Villey and Tierney concerning the rise of a concept of subjective right in late medieval thought. William of Ockham's place in it, and the differences of this subjective notion with regards to an objective notion of right. Afterwards, we analyze Ockham's main texts. According to the authors, Ockham's notion of a natural right of the individual bears a relationship both to a rational concept of morality and to his characteristic emphasis on free will.

This paper examines how the principles of corporate social responsibility are included in the Colombian legal system. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional research based on qualitative data, which examines the legal regulation of CSR in Colombia, from the analysis of the principles of Global Compact grouped into four areas: human rights, labor, environmental and fight against corruption. It is concluded that the different aspects of CSR are regulated to a greater or lesser extent in the Colombian legal system, which shows that this is not, at least not entirely voluntary and that the regulation in this area as well as voluntary initiatives are appropriate and necessary, not contradictory, but are complementary instead.

The article summarizes the contemporary advances of Costa Rican psychologists' political influence based on papers and actions that produced an impact on public policy. Political stands, such as right-wing, center- and left-wing, are defined, since they must be taken into consideration to understand the relationship between psychologists and social issues. Some examples of social movements related to Psychology are as follows: Women's rights, Sexual and Reproductive Rights, Children and Teenagers' Rights, Men's rights, Labor rights, rights of the indigenous population, rights of those diagnosed as "mentally ill", rights of sexually diversity groups, rights of migrants, and the right to psychological support during and after natural catastrophes. Professional associations have a duty to use their knowledge to express their opinions on national problems, such as the Costa Rican Psychology of Liberation Group does, in providing a good example of political ethics.

This paper emphasizes the influence of TV programmes for children on their ethical values, taking some programmes of the Spanish television (TVE) as examples. Their contents usually fit values praised by the society and human rights. On the other hand, other programmes aimed at a different audience (such as series or advertisements) but also watched by children, don't respect those principles and they even contradict them.

Among the third generation of human rights, the appeal for a diachronic solidarity between the human community and the extra-human natural world, and for a synchronstic one between the community of living human beings and hypothetical members of future human generations, has a significant place. This paper analyzes from a critical perspective the reasons for and against this proposal of duties and inter-generational ethical obligations in the context of a techno-scientific civilization, with the aim of grounding the current generation's responsibility regarding the elaboration of a global ethics that could face the demands of future generations.

The conclusion of this article is the necessity of a specific syllabus in high school about education on Human Rights. This subject has to be compulsory and with its own program. It is not enough to include these contents as a mainstreaming subject, and neither as optional matter supplying the choice for the religion syllabus. It has to have a specific items based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of United Nations, and explaining the political institutions according to the National Constitution in each country, moreover in Europe it has to include the European Community Law and The Council of Europe's Organisation. It has not to include psychological contents, as the Spanish Real Decretos have done. At the same time, in this syllabus has to be discussed the different theories about the foundation of Human Rights; namely, the iusnaturalist foundation (based upon the civic humanism) and the positivist foundation (based in the contractual theories). It has to be included the debate about the relation between ethic and Law, justice and validity of legal order, facing the problems of obedience and disobedience to the Law, and the conscience objection to Law.
