To what extentd do judges make law in the Australian Common Law system?: Basis from the common law judicial law creation for continental law system

In the Common Law system judges have the power to create subsidiary laws: they make rules in strict sense. This Kind of power responds to a special way in which the Common Law develops and adapts itself to achieve the best rules for a given society. Understanding how the Australian law system works, as an example of a common law structure, and how judges interact with the parliament in the creation of the best rules of law -which makes the process coherent- is paramount for other legal systems that have a mixture of legal institutions from both civil and common law systems, as Colombia. Colombia has an unclear mixture of law systems, which generates an uncertainty of the application of the law producing both by judges and parliament, and serious structural law problems; so, understanding the basis of the common law system it is important to clarify the limits in the competence of each authority and the interaction between the law made by the Parliament and the one that the judges produce.In the Common Law system judges have the power to create subsidiary laws: they make rules in strict sense.

Basel and Securitization: Conflicting Incentives and Rationales

The financial crisis presented in 2007 has a number of similar factors with the 1929 crisis; an environment of economic deregulation preceded both. There are in banking systems a series of incentives and rationales that, depending on the position occupied in the financial market, are constantly in conflict with the regulation and with the principles set out in Basel for the proper functioning of the system. Consequently under the creation of new mechanisms, such as the securization or the futures market, the incentives will greatly influence the financial market actors, to not comply with their obligations (Basel I, II, and III), because they could achieve greater profit for them and for the institutions they work for. Therefore the measures contained in Basel III, as a reaction from the financial crisis (based primarily on increasing risk capital and reduce leverage), could if not accompanied by an effective policy control, will not be efficient in the long term to control the market, so may be a new economic crisis will occur.La crisis financiera presentada en el 2007 reviste una serie de factores similares a lo que generó la crisis de 1929, precedidas por un ambiente de desregulación económica. Existen entonces dentro de los sistemas bancarios una serie de incentivos y racionalidades que, dependiendo de la posición que se ocupe dentro del mercado financiero, están constantemente en conflicto con la regulación y en especial con los principios establecidos en Basilea para el correcto funcionamiento del sistema. En consecuencia al presentarse nuevos mecanismos de negocios, como la titulación o el mercado de futuros, estos incentivos van a influenciar enormemente en los agentes del mercado financiero, para que incumplan sus obligaciones (Basilea I, II, y III). Así logran una mayor ganancia tanto para ellos como para las instituciones a las que pertenecen. Por lo anterior las medidas contenidas en Basilea III, que se basan principalmente en aumentar el capital de riesgo y disminuir el apalancamiento, si no se acompañan con una política de control efectiva, teniendo en cuenta los incentivos y al agente racional dentro del mercado, no van a ser eficientes en el largo plazo, siendo posible que se produzca una nueva crisis económica, si se encuentra un nuevo instrumento financiero apto para ello

Proteger a quien migra: la aplicación de la Carta Andina para la promoción y la protección de derechos humanos en caso de migración

Granting human rights requires harmonized interpretations, it means, lectures that integrate international (universal and regional) norms for eliminating vulnerability situations of persons, who migrate because of war, forced displacement or the search of new life opportunities. In Colombia, the law recognizes an integrated protection through the distinction of migration types and the adjudication of labor guarantees. This article explains how the Comunidad Andina de Naciones offers a set of rights in favor of migrants and the way in wich the Colombian State incorporates them in its legislation and jurisprudence. The work uses the legal dogmatics and the jurisprudential analysis and shows the different kinds of migrants in Colombia and the rights they have.   La protección de derechos humanos requiere de lecturas armonizadoras, es decir, que integren mandatos internacionales (universales y regionales), que eliminen la situación de vulnerabilidad a la que se encuentren sometidas las personas que, por razones de búsqueda de empleo, de desplazamiento forzado o de guerra, buscan nuevas y mejores oportunidades de vida. En el derecho colombiano, la protección integrada se da mediante la distinción de tipos de migración y el reconocimiento de los derechos derivados de las relaciones laborales. El artículo explora cómo el ordenamiento de la Comunidad Andina de Naciones contempla un conjunto de derechos a favor de los migrantes y la forma en que el Estado colombiano los materializa a través de sus normas y jurisprudencia. Para ello, se acude a un estudio de dogmática jurídica y de análisis jurisprudencial, que evidencia los distintos tipos de migración que pueden darse en Colombia y los derechos que les son reconocidos
