This paper explores recent notions in public administration, which are intertwined and addressed to the administration of public affairs. On this basis it demonstrates that content of legal system is filled through the static legal principles and rules, but they receive their real content through the informal practices and conditions of the human mind. The paper concludes that discussed notions could have only one name, because they all are the synonyms of reciprocal relation between the human dignity and efficient administration.

Rebuilding confidence in the financial system after the Great Financial Crisis requires more than enacting new rules; it requires a change in behavior (ethical dimension) and a different set of incentives to reconnect the interests of bankers and financiers with the interests of society. Any new normative account of financial law—whether national, European, or international—must therefore consider that financial law does not operate in a vacuum and that we need to reconcile this rather “novel” discipline with “traditional” established legal principles, in particular when it comes to human rights. Indeed, one of the lessons of the crisis is that finance should not be dissociated from the ethical foundations that underlie the legal system. Finance needs to go back to being an instrument for wealth creation (and not just for a few) and development.

RESUMO:A história do direito demonstra a estreita relação do Direito com a dominação de povos subalternizados e a legitimação de atos opressores, instituídos em benefício de interesses econômicos. Diante disso, a busca por um direito descolonial mostrase urgente. Para tanto, são analisadas as origens epistemológicas do direito, do constitucionalismo, dos direitos humanos e da dignidade humana, indagando se o Novo Constitucionalismo Latino-Americano seria um passo rumo à descolonização do direito. Isso porque este movimento ainda contempla um paradigma que vai de encontro às premissas dos sistemas constitucionais tradicionalmente adotados. O Novo Constitucionalismo Latino-Americano se caracteriza por constituições que inserem epistemologias indígenas em seus textos, aportando um conceito de viver bem mais amplo que o do liberalismo. As epistemologias do Sul, ao serem constitucionalmente introduzidas, exibem potencial para lidar com os dilemas da sociedade global. A urgência de se interrogar sobre um Direito pautado nas epistemologias do Sul advém da inquietação quanto às promessas não cumpridas da modernidade, que convocam o Direito a acolher estas epistemologias como seu fundamento. ABSTRACT:Legal history established a strong link between Law, subaltern’s domination, and the legitimation of oppressive acts to the benefit of economic interests. Taking this into account, the need to decolonize Law is urgent. For that reason, we intend to analyze the epistemological origins of law, constitutionalism, human rights and human dignity, questioning whether the New Latin American Constitutionalism is a step towards to the decolonization of Law. The motivation that lies behind that question is the convergence of New Latin American Constitutionalism with the premises held by traditional constitutional systems. Latin American constitutionalism marks itself by inserting indigenous epistemologies into constitutional texts and bearing a concept of good living that surpass the liberal conception. The constitutionalization of Southern epistemologies has also shown potential in dealing with global society dilemmas. The urgency to consider a legal system based on the epistemologies of the South derives from the unfulfilled promises of modernity, which requires Law itself to account for these alternatives as its foundation.

RESUMOEste trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver a discussão sobre a liberdade de expressão e seu conflito com o discurso de ódio no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Deste modo, expõe-se o entendimento e a dimensão do discurso de ódio, assim como sua resolução diante de casos concretos e a reparação civil pelos danos oriundos. Neste contexto, a Ciência Jurídica não pode ser indiferente ao conteúdo dessas normas, tampouco à sua capacidade de adequação aos problemas sociais. O exercício das liberdades civis, sob este prisma, tem muito a ser enriquecido, à medida que se expande a compreensão – antes eminentemente limitada à esfera normativa privada – e passa a tratar da proteção e garantia de direitos com uma preocupação finalística que deve cuidar evidentemente dos direitos humanos, de sua validade fundada tanto na lei, quanto na Constituição, e de sua real eficácia em favor da dignidade humana.PALAVRAS-CHAVEDireitos Humanos. Direitos Fundamentais. Discurso de ódio. Dignidade da pessoa humana. Liberdade de expressão. ABSTRACTThis paper aims to develop the discussion about freedom of expression and hate speech in the Brazilian legal system. Thus, it shows the concept and dimension of hate speech, as well as the resolution in specific cases and the civil liability for damages. In this sense, Law can’t be indifferent to the content of these rules, neither to its adequation capacity towards the social problems. The exercise of civil liberties, based on this conception, has a lot to be enriched, as far as it expands the understanding – previously limited eminently to the private normative sphere – and moves on to the protection and guarantee of rights with a concern that obviously has to take care of human rights, as well as its real effectiveness in favor of human dignity.KEYWORDSHuman rights.

Art. 24 of the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights recognises and protects the right of the individual to rest and leisure. This right has to be fully exercised without negative consequences on the right to work and the remuneration. Tourism can be considered one of the best ways of rest and leisure because it allows to enrich the personality of the individual. Even after the reform of the Title V this area is no longer covered by the Italian Constitution, the Italian legal system protects and guarantees it as a real right, so as to get to recognize its existence and the consequent compensation of the so-called “ruined holiday damage”. This kind of damage has not a patrimonial nature, but a moral one, and the Tourist-Traveler can claim for it when he has not been able to fully enjoy his holiday - the essential fulcrum of tourism - intended as an opportunity for leisure and/or rest, essential rights of the individual.

This article aims to examine how the concept of Imago Dei can serve as a symbol for the broadly understood idea of religious inclusion and human dignity. The article explores the concept of Imago Dei primarily from a protological perspective, analyzing its usage in biblical writings, theological tradition and modern philosophy. The substantial, relational and functional—which three usages of the concept can be found in the inclusive theology of Gregory of Nyssa—are analyzed in this article. Arguably, in the context of religious inclusion, the relational angle of Imago Dei seems to be the most important. Similarly contemporary Protestant theologian, Jürgen Moltmann states in his book, God in the Creation, that the “relational” concept of Imago Dei underscores the fundamental dignity of every person. In his book, God for Secular Society, Moltmann states that properly understood human rights should include democratic relationships between people, cooperation between societies, concern for the environment in which people live, and responsibility for future generations. From these perspectives, the concept of Imago Dei can be utilized as a symbol indicating the dignity of every person and human community, but also a symbol against any types of racism, nationalism or xenophobia.

Security and justice are both essential elements in humanity’s quest not only to survive but to thrive with dignity; neither is sustainable alone. Security is merely the appearance of order in a framework of structural violence unless tempered or leavened by concepts of justice that include human rights, human dignity, and other normative limits on the use of power. The pursuit of justice, whether at the personal, community, national, or international level can be crippled if not matched, in turn, by means to sustain security at each level. This complementarity of security and justice—despite their inherent tensions—is the core conceptual framework of the book. Achieving “just security,” we argue, is essential to the success of any global governance enterprise or architecture.
