Le Juriste en Présence de L’herméneutique Contemporaine

Philosophical hermeneutics developed by the German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer and founded on interpretation as explicit form of comprehension generated a debate on contemporary hermeneutics about texts written at different periods of time from those in which they must then be applied. This debate is necessarily very instructive for the jurist when he interprets texts and creates positive law to produce a determined effect on recipients. Comprehension as participation in truth involves questioning and an interpretation devoid of prejudices. Illustration of hermeneutics in law demonstrates that interpretation related to comprehension is strictly bound to the question of application bearing in mind that application does not only consist in concretizing comprehension, it constitutes his nucleus. It follows that hermeneutics oscillates between a theoretical and practical meaning. Regarding the concept of a presumption it is perceived as an instrumental necessity and a necessary corollary of interpretation in that it anticipates on the meaning found on the possibility. It is specified in a context of legal hermeneutics that it is necessary to distinguish the interpretation of the observer from the one of the player such the judge put in the performative position.

Venta y donación de órganos en la ley de ablación e implantes argentina: algunos problemas bioéticos

First, I do general observations about the influence of medicine on Ethics. Second, I analyze two arguments that have been given regarding the ban on the marketing of organ —ie., “the Kantian argument” and “the argument from exploitation” —. Then, I examine two standards of Argentina's Legislation on organ ablation and implantation. This paper propose to consider the reasons that should befound to support the sales ban organ; the called corruption objection (Sandel) and that the donation is justified provided that no control of this decision on other people (Seleme). Accepted this position, then it is argued that Argentina's standards limiting qualified individuals to donate organs, are not justified.     

Protección de los recursos genéticos de los pueblos indígenas en los sistemas universal e interamericano de derechos humanos

This article shows the current state of protection of genetic resources of indigenous peoples in the context of international human rights. The analysis is justified because international law, regional and international on access to genetic resources of indigenous peoples is insufficient, poor and in some cases, nonexistent. The protection of genetic resources in relation to indigenous peoples has special connotations according to its own system of human rights of these peoples, so that it seeks to investigate whether international law of human rights takes into account these ethnic particularities. In this sense, a characterization of universal and inter-American system related to genetic resources in order to identify gaps and challenges of these systems.
