Digital technologies used to identify, profile, and supervise are often hailed as the serendipitous results of inevitable progress, while the long-term consequences of their application remain beyond the attention of lawyers and politicians. This article tries to close this gap by exploring and discussing probable effects of the application of such technologies for the present model of statehood and legal order. It examines the hypothesis that the ubiquitous digitalisation of governance and the increasing attention to individuals’ reputation in the provision of public services are related to the attempt of contemporary corporate elites to perpetuate their power and resolve the problem of building a new, post-capitalist social order. The article argues that the expansion of social control through digital technologies can lead to a gradual loss of constitutional subjectivity and political power by people.

This study asks if the level of corruption relates to perception of access to justice. Looking at the supply side of access to justice, a corrupt judicial system will imply that the less well-off cannot afford to gain their rights. However, does corruption widen a justice gap? Studies show that corruption relates to democracy, wealth and equality. The link between corruption and the judiciary is less studied. This study explores the general global relations statistically with use of data from 113 countries. Using multiple regression, it corroborates the classical debate on inequality and equal access to justice but critically contribute to this debate by finding that corruption has an independent and strong relation to access to justice. However, it also finds that income inequality continues to be of importance. This finding is not trivial but suggests that anti-corruption and equality policies may improve access to justice.

Advocates of multiculturalism claim that it supports the rights of cultural minorities and the public recognition of cultural differences. However, this article shows that this cannot be true of Indian culture as it has become transported to Britain, where multiculturalism actually poses a threat to it. Using the resources of the research programme of the Ghent School on the comparative study of India and Europe, this article substantiates this claim by showing how the dominant conception of cultural differences as well as the classical conception of the Indian caste system, which takes over the Indian social structures of jati, are both imported by multiculturalist thought and practice. The concretizing of multiculturalism in the form of anti-discrimination law is not only anticipated by a destructive politics of identity, but the law itself can be used to foster the destruction of Indian culture on the pretext of targeting the discriminatory caste system.

La legislación y los instrumentos (planes, guías y protocolos) implementados en materia de trata de personas, a nivel global y local, tenían antes de la pandemia el objetivo de garantizar los derechos de las víctimas con el fin de asistirlas y protegerlas en su situación de especial vulnerabilidad. Sin embargo, la crisis sanitaria provocada por la COVID-19 y la declaración del Estado de alarma en España han generado un empeoramiento de su situación personal y, en consecuencia, se han adoptado otras normas y medidas sociales para proteger y paliar los perjuicios sufridos en esta situación excepcional. Por ello, el presente artículo analiza, desde una perspectiva de género, los efectos que han tenido tanto las reformas legales como las medidas asistenciales adoptadas por el Ministerio de Igualdad y las organizaciones sociales para mujeres víctimas de trata con fines de explotación sexual durante la pandemia de la COVID-19, haciendo mención especial al contexto vasco.

In the last fifteen years, the European Court, the US Supreme Court and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights have all ruled on the issue of same-sex marriage. The Strasbourg Court has not, at this stage, dared to affirm the right to marriage, unlike its (inter)American counterparts. The article proposes a comparative analysis of the decisions rendered by the three jurisdictions: it highlights, beyond the (obvious and indisputable) differences between the three legal orders, the similar issues – of applicability, proportionality and subsidiarity – with which the judges responsible for ensuring respect for human rights are confronted. As the analysis also reveals, these issues are sometimes hotly debated within the courts themselves, while their understanding can be enriched by inter-jurisdictional dialogue. In conclusion, it is argued that, with regard to the recognition and protection of same-sex couples, the European Court should draw inspiration from American experiences and (1) clearly (re)affirm that the right to marry (art. 12 ECHR) applies to same-sex couples (2) mobilise the full potential of the prohibition of discrimination (art. 14 ECHR) and (3) move away from strict adherence to the European consensus rule.

La pandemia mundial generó una crisis de consecuencias todavía impredecibles, agravadas además por la guerra de Ucrania. En 2008 había surgido un consenso amplio sobre la necesidad de reformas profundas que, en el fondo, significaban acabar con el consenso neoliberal prevaleciente desde los ochenta, si bien pronto las posibilidades de recuperación quedaron supeditadas al ciclo económico. Nuevamente la crisis actual pone en cuestión la calidad y efectividad del sistema de protección social y del propio Estado del bienestar. Las respuestas parecen indicar un cambio de rumbo, hacia la salvaguardia y el fortalecimiento de lo público. La Comunidad Autónoma Vasca y Navarra no son ajenas a ello. Dos síntomas pueden ser el refuerzo de la inversión en sanidad, que implica revertir recortes previos, y la aprobación de sistemas de cobertura a los grupos más desfavorecidos. Esas medidas requieren, no obstante, el respaldo de otras estructurales, particularmente fiscales.
