Law, more-than-human agency, and audiovisual storytelling: De-centering Western research ethics through working-class scholar-activism and embodied rituality
Drawing on two decades of collaborative legal ethnographic research with Indigenous communities, this article weaves personal narrative and lived experience to highlight working-class scholar-activism and embodied spiritual rituality as an act of resistance within academia. It critically challenges Western research ethics paradigms by emphasising ethics as a lived, relational practice grounded in rituality and interconnectedness rather than mere …
Una im-posibilidad legal. El Territorio-ser viviente, víctima del conflicto armado colombiano. Algunas reflexiones desde un diálogo colaborativo interdisciplinar
El presente artículo estudia el reconocimiento del Territorio como víctima del conflicto armado por la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP) de Colombia. Este reconocimiento otorga a los territorios indígenas los mismos derechos –incluyendo verdad, justicia, reparación y garantía de no repetición– que a humanos –individuos y grupos afectados por el conflicto armado–. Este artículo, escrito a cuatro manos, no es un artículo académico convenciona…
Indigenous Peoples’ Rights at the United Nations Human Rights Council: Colliding (Mis)Understandings
Indigenous peoples have been struggling worldwide to have their rights recognized. Despite relevant legal advances, such as the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), the implementation gap between the adoption of international standards by States and their compliance still remains. This article relies on empirical examples from Interactive Dialogues (ID) with the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (SRIP) and …
La moda de los derechos de la naturaleza: Consideraciones Críticas
The world can no longer deny that the planet is on the brink of catastrophe. While scientists from various fields and around the world debate the causes, impacts, challenges, and solutions to the arrival of the Anthropocene, a new geological era induced by humans, the field of law can not stay behind. Rights of Nature (RoN), which grant legal personality to nature and its elements, such as rivers, constitute an emerging transnational legal framew…
The right to be, to feel and to exist: Indigenous lawyers and strategic litigation over Indigenous territories in Guatemala
Indigenous communities around the globe increasingly resort to courts to seek protection for their individual and collective rights. Not only has the use of strategic litigation by Indigenous peoples to defend their human rights been underexplored but the role of Indigenous lawyers and experts is also a blind spot. Drawing on interdisciplinary, qualitative and collaborative research with Indigenous lawyers, experts and legal activists who are inv…
Indigenous legal expertise, sacred rivers, and hydropower development projects in Third Pole country Nepal
While Indigenous expertise, values and knowledge systems have become a buzzword in academic and policy debates about climate change, sustainable development, and the protection of ecosystems, this research note turns the lens to Indigenous legal expertise used by Indigenous lawyers in Nepal in the defence of Indigenous peoples' rights regarding the construction of dams and transmission line projects. Drawing on preliminary insights of legal anthr…
Can Rights of Nature Save Us from the Anthropocene Catastrophe? Some Critical Reflections from the Field
The world can no longer deny that the planet is on the verge of an Anthropocene catastrophe. As scientists from different fields and from around the globe are discussing the causes, impacts, challenges, and solutions to the arrival of this human-induced new geological time, the field of law cannot remain behind. Rights of Nature (RoN), granting legal personhood to nature and its elements such as rivers, is an emerging transnational legal framewor…
Hacia la descolonización del régimen extractivo: Patrones Y Límites De La Judicialización en Conflictos Mineros
En el presente artículo nos ha motivado la necesidad de abordar un punto poco estudiado sobre el extractivismo en América Latina: los fundamentos coloniales del marco regulatorio de la minería corporativa y los límites de la judicialización de los derechos humanos para lograr su transformación. Nuestro análisis se sustenta en referentes teóricos del campo del litigio estratégico, el origen del derecho internacional y los estudios decoloniales. Em…

Dealing with the legacy of gross human rights violations in Guatemala: Grasping the mismatch between macro level policies and micro level processes
This article addresses the important nexus between macro level responses and micro level processes when dealing with the aftermath of gross human rights violations. It focuses on the case of Guatemala and the issue of financial compensation for people affected by the internal armed conflict. One of the key mechanisms of the horror of the counterinsurgency war was the forced mass involvement of the civilian population through the imposition of the…
Transitional Justice and Cultural Contexts: Learning from the Universality Debate
Whenever a society faces the difficult process of substantial political transition after a period of gross human rights violations, the issues of justice, reconciliation, truth and reparation appear on the agenda. They form the key concepts of the emerging global paradigm of transitional justice. This booming field is faced with several unresolved and contested issues one of which is a criticism based on local and cultural particularities. In thi…
The internal logic of the cosmos as 'justice' and 'reconciliation: Micro-level perceptions in post-conflict Guatemala
Recently there has been greater interest from academics and practitioners in the role of 'traditional' justice mechanisms in politics of peace, reconciliation and transitional justice efforts after a period of large-scale human rights violations. However, this call for 'culturally sensitive' approaches remains at a rhetorical level. This article attempts to fill the knowledge gap of empirical local studies and focuses on post-conflict processes i…
