Reflexionando sobre las contribuciones del Derecho Internacional a la resolución de los desafíos globales actuales y futuros

Recientes acontecimientos y desarrollos internacionales desafían el orden jurídico, político, económico y moral predominante durante el Siglo XX. Como resultado, se intensifican las críticas a la eficacia del derecho internacional, cuestionando su capacidad para garantizar una gobernanza global efectiva. Las críticas se expresan tanto respecto a problemáticas tradicionales y recurrentes, como el mantenimiento de la paz y seguridad internacional en contexto de conflictos armados entre Estados, como respecto a nuevas dinámicas observadas en respuesta al desarrollo tecnológico, incremento de los efectos del cambio climático, surgimiento de nuevos sujetos de importancia internacional, mayor interconectividad entre los Estados, entre otros.

La Revista Tribuna Internacional invita a contribuir a una edición especial, con artículos científicos, ensayos, comentarios de jurisprudencia o reseñas de libros que reflexionen sobre los desafíos que enfrenta el Derecho Internacional en el contexto actual, y su relevancia como herramienta para la articulación de soluciones colectivas y efectivas.

Reflecting on the Contributions of International Law to Resolving Current and Future Global Challenges

Recent international events and developments challenge the legal, political, economic, and moral order that prevailed during the 20th century. As a result, criticisms regarding the effectiveness of international law are intensifying, questioning its capacity to guarantee effective global governance. These critiques address both traditional and recurring issues, such as the maintenance of international peace and security within the context of armed conflicts between States, as well as new dynamics observed in response to technological development, the escalating effects of climate change, the emergence of new actors of international significance, and increased interconnectivity between States, among others.

The Revista Tribuna Internacional invites contributions for a special edition, including scientific articles, essays, case law commentaries, or book reviews that reflect on the challenges facing International Law in the current context, and its relevance as a tool for articulating collective and effective solutions.

Resumen

Truth as a right has been enshrined in treaty law for the first time under the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance (ICPPED). The right to the truth in this context has very specific objectives given the nature and elements of the crime of enforced disappearance. However, its meaning and the precise obligations that it creates for States parties are not well known, allowing a normative gap for States to elude its implementation and undermining efforts towards its realization. This article seeks to narrow that gap by analyzing both the ICPPED and the work of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances in interpreting the right. It finds that the right to the truth under the ICPPED is central for clarifying cases of enforced disappearance as it has the objective of establishing the fate and whereabouts of a disappeared person and triggers the State’s obligations to search and investigate. It concludes that the effective implementation of the right is also fundamental for combatting impunity for enforced disappearance, as it seeks to compel the State to end its denial of the truth.
