This article discuss some mythology about the way in which the relationship between Justice and Politics has been resolved in Chile in the last half century. It is uncritically accepted that, unlike other countries in the region, Chile has resolved the separation Justice and Politics in classic terms of strict division of powers, where each sphere of constitutional power acts within the scope of its powers and attributions, far from the danger that always haunts constitutional theory of possible "politicization of justice" or "judicialization of politics". This article demonstrates that Chile has constitutionally consecrated a separation of powers model that encapsulates the judicial activity to the scope of the solution of controversies of juridical scope, distancing it from the Politics as a space of discussion of power. More, in practice there has been and there is a more complex relationship between Justice and Politics, with a mutual influence that has exceeded - legitimately and illegitimately - by far the traditional model of separation of powers.

access to justice for women affected by gender based violence is a human rights (see CEDAW and “Belém do Pará” Conventions and others). Empirical evidence showed that the judicial response on this matter in Buenos Aires City in year 2004 constituted institutional violence against women. By 2018, has this picture changed? By carrying out literature review of reports and research on this matter I outline developments produced since then, pointing out critical issues and prevalence challenges.

After World War II the United States of America became the champion of international free trade. Paradoxically, they also became the most sophisticated designers of disguised protectionist measures. Domestic antidumping and countervailing duty systems were soon abused and used as protectionist weapons, so, based on the mechanism previously devised by Canada and the United States of America to prevent such excesses, Chapter XIX of the North American Free Trade Agreement resulted in an innovative and effective means to avoid suspicions and resolve disputes on the matter. In the renegotiation of NAFTA promoted by the Trump administration, the American claim is to disappear that chapter and the reason seems simple: protectionism.

As from the reconfiguration of determined paradigms and the new categories’ incorporation an interesting metamorphosis has been operated within the Civil Law. The current work has as an objective to insist on the potentiality of the principles; even therein where the subject matter mandatory is obliged to yield before the will of what is actionable

Final report of the research project “Analysis of the production of the Argentine Supreme Court in its current integration”, oriented to thoroughly examine the decisions of the Supreme Court in its current integration, seeking to obtain and systematize relevant data to face the serious epistemic problems derived from the absence of complete and updated official information about the work of the Argentine federal supreme court

AbstractThe main scope of this article is to expose an effective methodology for the investigation in complex accidents that they have happened by structural complex failures, in temporary work equipment that has been used during the building on different construction sites. This methodology is based on real cases, and due to its application and development it has allowed the determination of the technical causes that has induced the mechanism for structural collapsed with the scientific severity that it is necessary in a performance of these characteristics. Accurately by the complexity that it motivates the determination of the technical causes in singular structural failures, as well as the judicial process derived from a serious accident. It is very important that it takes into account the methodology and aspects that it has to comply for what the expert report adapts to the scope and expected expectations, basically so that expert report has the scientific rigor that it allows to demonstrate by unquestioned form the technical causes that has induced the failure. Some main aspects it must to take into account during all the process and for the making of expert report, like; visiting the accident area getting the broken pieces and rest of pieces belonging temporary work equipment or installation; permanent identification and traceability during the manipulation and tests carried out on the recovered pieces, independently of the nature, destructive or not; application of the analytical and experimental assessment methods for understanding the safety conditions of the damaged equipment, previously and in the moment of the accident, finally, an expert report writing in a simple language that allows to the different agents (judge, prosecutor, lawyer, accused) involved on the judicial process, to understand clearly how the mechanism of failure has occurred despite that they have not a technical knowledge about the topic.ResumenEn el presente artículo, se describe la metodología empleada, para la determinación con rigurosidad científica e inequívoca, de las causas técnicas que han motivado una serie de siniestros, derivados de fallos estructurales, en equipamientos y estructuras de naturaleza metálica. Para ello, y tomando de referencia dos ejemplos reales de investigaciones técnicas periciales, se especifica la metodología de investigación en siniestros de estas características, desde el instante del accidente, así como la importancia de combinar métodos analíticos y experimentales, para la convergencia en las causas técnicas que han motivado el fallo. Precisamente, por la complejidad que incorpora la determinación de las causas en fallos estructurales singulares, así como el proceso judicial derivado de un siniestro grave, es importantísimo tener en cuenta la metodología y aspectos que se deben cumplir, para que el estudio técnico pericial y dictamen final, se ajusten al objeto y expectativas previstas, fundamentalmente para que éste, disponga del rigor científico que permite demostrar de forma incontestable, cuáles fueron las causas técnicas que indujeron los mecanismos de fallo. Asimismo, el artículo desarrolla otros aspectos claves para que una investigación pericial, se lleve a cabo con la eficacia y éxito que requiere, tales como; profundidad en la investigación; recuperación y trazabilidad de las piezas fracturadas; estudio del estado del arte, con las metodologías, experiencias, y referencias a nivel internacional, europeo, y/o nacional, amplitud en el conocimiento exhaustivo y detallado sobre los requisitos reglamentarios y normativos de carácter técnico, que son de aplicación sobre el sistema/equipamiento/instalación siniestrada y por último la utilización en el informe y dictamen pericial de un lenguaje llano y sencillo, a pesar de tratarse de un siniestro derivado de causas de índole técnica.

AbstractThe expert evidence is a transmission of information that the expert makes to the judge or to a third party, in the form of an opinion so that he can assess facts or relevant circumstances in a given process. It is regulated in the LEC [1] (January 7, 2000) in articles 335 and 352. Thus the expert is configured as that person who has specific knowledge of which the court lacks and that are necessary for a proper evaluation of the process. The expert is a subject that by definition must be extraneous to the process and to the facts [2] The expert must not possess legal knowledge but if he knows the protocol that is used in judiciary proceedings in which he intervenes, in addition to have the knowledge, at least of the specialty that proves with his title and that are accurate in the test. The expert must be aware of the importance of his work in the judicial process and the value of his evidence, which can unbalance the balance of justice, with the damages and benefits inherent in the respective parties.ResumenLa prueba pericial es una transmisión de información que los perito realizan al juez o a un tercero, en forma de dictamen para que pueda valorar hechos o circunstancias relevantes en un determinado proceso. Se encuentra regulada en la LEC [1] (7 enero de 2000) en sus artículos 335 y 352. Así el perito se configura como aquella persona que dispone de conocimientos específicos de los que el tribunal carece y que resultan necesarios para una correcta evaluación del proceso. El perito es un sujeto que por definición previa debe ser ajeno al proceso y a los hechos [2]. El perito no debe de poseer conocimientos jurídicos, pero si conocer el protocolo que se utiliza en los procedimientos judiciales en los que interviene, además de tener conocimientos, al menos de la especialidad que acredite con su título y que sean precisos en la prueba [2]. El perito ha de ser consciente de la trascendencia que tiene su trabajo en el proceso judicial y el valor de su prueba, que puede desequilibrar la balanza de la justicia, con lo perjuicios y beneficios inherentes a las respetivas partes.
