The purpose of this work is to carry out a critical analysis of the three crimes of sexual abuse incorporated into the Penal Code (PC) of Uruguay by the Law No. 19,580 (Law on Gender-Based Violence Against Women). These are the crime of sexual abuse (art. 272-BIS of the PC), the crime of especially aggravated sexual abuse (art. 272-TER of the PC) and the crime of sexual abuse without bodily contact (art. 273-BIS of the PC). In short, the purpose of this work is to determine the scope of each of these criminal figures, for which the elements common to all of them will be analyzed (protected legal property, subjects involved and criminal intent), as well as the particularities that each of these criminal types presents, highlighting the successes and errors presented by this new criminal legislation.

This article analyses how the Colombian State has governed inmates' resistance. We will show how the State has encouraged the use of formal mechanisms to resolve the disagreements and concerns of inmates and discouraged protest inside prisons. The Constitutional Court's judicial interventions have recognized massive violations of fundamental rights, and attempted to channel fundamental rights' protection through the legal system. However, the persistence of violations, accompanied by the exclusion of protest as a mechanism of resistance, leaves the inmates immobilized between a constitutional discourse without material effectiveness and the threat of violent repression of their acts of resistance. To this end, this article presents a case study about the fight for fundamental rights and the collective resistance of the inmates of the Modelo Prison in Bogotá. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This arricie aims towards describing the concept of goods and services in the Consumer Rights Directive of the European Union (EU) and the Colombian Consumer Statute for later analyzing in each one of these legal systems how should they be understood in a digital market context. This will allow, through a descriptive methodology, the consideration of the legal treatment of goods that employ the digital elements for their functioning, also known as Internet of things (IoT) in Colombia. After presenting the legal effects arising from a consumption relationship of this kind, this work will propose that the Colombian Consumer Statute, at its actual state, is not enough for facing the fourth industrial revolution and the digital market and thus proposing a series of substantial and procedural measures necessary for allowing the engagement of Colombia with the accelerated growth of electronic exchange.

In this article, we analyze the meaning and scope of prison violence in Latin American. We show how physical violence is a central part of the prison experience in the region. On the one hand, death appears as an extreme manifestation of prison violence. On the other, there is the daily harshness of violent relationships within the prisons, physical injury, and subjection to subhuman conditions of confinement. These approaches to punishing the bodies of the convicted coexist with an abstract penal discourse that outlaws interventions on the body. The body ends up being the permanent object of punishment to the point of destruction and, at the same time, the object of protection of a legal discourse that constantly fails to guarantee compensation. The legal discourse neutralizes the prison reality and, with it, postpones fundamental decisions to avoid the brutal corporal punishment to which prisoners in Latin America are subjected.

This study proposes that the Colombian peace process has ratified that transitional justice finds limits in human rights related to three aspects: a) amnesty or pardon measures for serious violations of human rights are not possible; b) measures of impunity are only possible if the duty of providing reparation to the victims was fulfilled; and c) penal or retributive measures that imply a different treatment for those who incurred in human rights violations in the context of the armed conflict are only possible if the State provides certain minimum rights in the victims' reparation. The 2016 Peace Agreement and the jurisprudence of the Colombian Constitutional Court differ from the norms elaborated by the Inter - American Court of Human Rights on the duty to investigate and sanction violations of human rights.

Th The purpose of this text is to analyze the limits to criminal intervention arising from the constitutional content of human dignity, understood as the inviolability of the physical and moral integrity of the individual, but not before specifying, in a very brief manner, the function of the principle of respect for human dignity in criminal law in general, and the way in which different powers that characterize this principle according to its elaboration by the Constitutional Court are configured as limits to the criminal power of the State. To this end, an analysis of the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court is carried out using tools of constitutional and criminal dogma. The paper proposes that, in spite of the jurisprudential diaspora and the complexity of the concept of human dignity, it is possible to derive a content from it that serves as a limitation of criminal law within the framework of the Rule of Law.

Overcoming pedagogical concepts based on behavioral models and implementing other methodological styles can lead to natural critical learning. This is an environment conducive to generating new ways of building knowledge, by considering the participants in educational action as subjects of pedagogical interaction. Academic writing and literacy can be identified in this context as epistemological processes for the construction and transformation of knowledge on criminal law. This is because it confronts the need to acknowledge writing as a process that is constructed permanently by academic communities and not by isolated individuals. This process is characterized as being one that makes it possible to build new, thoughtful and analytical knowledge on teaching/learning. It should be recognized as an element in the educational process and as part of thinking on educational action, so as to transform the way criminal law is taught. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The author's intention in this paper is to provide a summary account of the complex ambiguities, paradoxes and difficulties confronting the legal practitioner in today's world; that is, in the context provided by the constitutional state, and the pivotal points of the various alternatives that have been offered as theoretical-practical solutions. An attempt to resolve indecisiveness by resorting to constitutional principles opens up a range of problems. How do we explain the relationship between legal principles and rules? The answers to this question provided by irrationalism, rationalism and those who take the path of reasonableness are presented and compared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Colombian Law 1607 of 2012 created a national consumption tax. This new tax covers several economic activities that were previously covered by the Value Added Tax (vat, iva in Spanish) and some others are covered by this tax as well. This paper seeks to present the main implications of the creation of the consumption tax. Its scope is to make a brief comparison between the status of tax and criminal provisions before and after consumption tax creation throuģh the analysis of norms in both fields. It reaches the conclusion that the creation of a consumption tax reformed the structure of tariffs related to the consumption of ģoods and, furthermore, it ended up decriminalizinģ acts that were previously encompassed by the crime of omission by withholdinģ aģent.

This article examines what changes to the law regarding the crime of Trafficking in Persons has meant for judicial practice. Before the 2002 reform, this criminal offence was described simply as a sort of procuring. The reform moved the crime to a different chapter of the Penal Code: from the chapter on crimes against sexual freedom to the chapter on crimes against personal autonomy and individual freedom. This legislative change means that the crime is not only limited to cases of forced prostitution but also applies to cases of consensual sexual exploitation. Based on a case study, the aim of this article is to analyze how the legislative change has altered judicial practice. The findings presented here indicate that there is a tendency in the criminal justice system to continue operating under the previous logic of permitting the exploitation of sex workers during acts of prostitution, thus undermining the legal effort to criminalize all acts of sexual exploitation, whether consensual or not.

The article describes the main characteristics of the criminal justice's thought system as conceived since the second half of the 18th century -- the "modern penal rationality" -- in order to conceptualize and discuss the process of "judicialization" of public opinion by the penal system, which emerged more visibly since the 1980's. It argues that in such process the incorporation of public as component of the penal system takes place within the normative structure of the modem penal rationality, which tends to create contradictory and perverse effects on the relations between human rights demands and criminal law.
