Publicación Contratación laboral y reinserción social de las personas privadas de la libertad: experiencias en algunos establecimientos penitenciarios en Antioquia durante el siglo XX(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-03-05) Tabares Puerta, Natalia; Gaviria Gil, María VirginiaPublicación Sujeción al procedimiento nacional : un análisis de legalidad sobre el recurso de reconsideración en el Distrito de Barranquilla(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-03-01) López Salazar, Juan Sebastián; Castrillón Bedoya, Juliana; Escobar Restrepo, AmaliaThe subjection of territorial entities to national tax procedural regulations, as established in Law 788 of 2002, particularly in Article 59, has been the subject of litigation and controversy over the years. This provision has been subject to constitutional review; however, none of these challenges has been successful to date. Throughout this period, different territorial entities have developed, within their municipal and departmental tax statutes, procedures that may differ from those prescribed by national regulations. These procedures have been subject to review by the administrative jurisdiction. Through its highest court, the Council of State, Fourth Section, various positions have been adopted over time. Nevertheless, in recent years, a consolidated position has emerged, according to which deviation from national procedures is only permissible when it results in a simplification of procedures and does not impose a greater burden on the taxpayer. The tax regulation of the Special, Industrial and Port District of Barranquilla (hereinafter, the “District of Barranquilla”) is contained in Decree 0119 of 2019, which has a compilatory nature. Within this framework, Article 351 establishes that the term to file a reconsideration appeal is one month from the notification of the administrative act that determines the tax or sanction. However, national regulations grant a period of two months from the notification of the administrative act in article 351 of Colombian Tax Code (ETN). In this context, this monograph examines whether territorial entities have the possibility to depart from national procedures, under which conditions such deviation is allowed, and whether the District of Barranquilla incurs in a direct violation of national regulations.Publicación La mediación como mecanismo complementario al arbitraje inversionista-Estado : ¿una alternativa al enfoque adversarial? Algunas reflexiones a la luz de la mediación entre Aris Mining y la República de Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-04-05) Cardona Herrera, Sofía; Carmona Sánchez, Isabella; Lorenzoni Escobar, LinaThis paper analyzes how mediation, as a mechanism complementary to the investor–State dispute settlement (ISDS) system, can help address the criticisms concerning the legitimacy and efficiency of investment arbitration as an inherently adversarial mechanism. Drawing on reform proposals put forward by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and the case study of Aris Mining Corporation vs. Republic of Colombia, the research examines the potential of mediation to facilitate the early resolution of disputes and to strengthen confidence in the system. The methodology combines normative and doctrinal analysis with a case study, allowing for an evaluation of the practical application of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in the Colombian context. The study aims to contribute to the debate on the modernization of ISDS and the State’s legal defense in investment disputes.Publicación Soberanía negociada : quid pro quo en la inversión extranjera directa. Un estudio de los tratados bilaterales de inversión ratificados por Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-04-07) Molina Gómez, Pedro; Goda, Thomas; Lorenzoni, LinaPublicación El estándar del buen hombre de negocios en las sociedades BIC en Colombia : un análisis del deber de diligencia y su prueba frente a la presunción de culpa de los administradores(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-04-08) Restrepo Vargas, Felipe; Marín Acosta, Camilo AndrésPublicación Los recursos aplicables a las manifestaciones y acciones abusivas por parte de sindicatos en las empresas(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Uribe López, Gabriel Jaime; Rojas Flórez, CarolinaPublicación Relevancia y desafíos de los consejos de juventud como herramienta del fortalecimiento de la participación ciudadana en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-05-27) Díaz Robles, Valeria; Diaz Robles, David José; Sánchez Vásquez, Carolina; No aplicaPublicación ¿Qué se entiende por “establecimiento” en la Convención de Viena sobre compraventa internacional de mercaderías de 1980; cómo incide en su ámbito de aplicación, en la vinculación de partes con más de un establecimiento y cómo se armoniza con la ley colombiana?(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-02-02) Osorio Restrepo, Miguel; Toro Valencia, José AlbertoThe Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods of 1980 (hereinafter "CISG") emerged as an instrument for the unification of international trade law, integrating principles of common law and civil law. In Colombia, the Convention was approved by Law 518 of 1999 and ratified in 2001, entering into force on August 1, 2002. Its main objective is to facilitate international trade through uniform rules, avoiding recourse to the domestic law of each country. One of the key concepts in the CISG is the "place of business" of the parties, which is relevant to determining its application in international contracts. If a party has more than one establishment, the one with the closest relationship to the contract will be taken into account. This article will analyze how different courts have interpreted the concept of place of business, emphasizing that it should be understood as a stable and independent place of economic activity. Cases in which the term "place of business" has been applied will be examined to determine whether the CISG applies. Additionally, the Colombian legal system's rules that must be taken into account to harmonize the concept of place of business in the CISG and how it should be understood in Colombia are set forth.Publicación Análisis de la política pública social para habitantes de la calle 2022 - 2031 a la luz de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional Colombiana para una efectiva garantía de derechos e inclusión social(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-10-07) Borbón Pinilla, Eliana Paola; Hoyos Ceballos, EstebanAccording to DANE's Homeless Population Census (2021), 6,248 homeless individuals were recorded in Colombia. Although the legal framework seeks to protect their rights through public policies aligned with constitutional mandates, only 24.1% reported official institutions as a support network. This thesis contrasts the Public Policy for the Homeless 2022–2031 with Constitutional Court jurisprudence, revealing coordination gaps that hinder the effective guarantee of fundamental rights.Publicación Teología del derecho societario colombiano : análisis y propuestas de aplicación de conceptos de la teología católica a la Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-11) Escobar García, Jacobo; Cano Londoño, Tomás; Gaviria Gil, Juan AntonioPublicación Enfoques evolutivos en el derecho : la intersección entre derecho, ciencias evolutivas y la teoría de sistemas, y una revisión crítica al concepto de "estado de naturaleza" en el contractualismo social clásico(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11) Lora Restrepo, Santiago; Ramírez Giraldo, Vicente JaimeA notable epistemological disconnection from evolutionary sciences persists within the Latin American legal tradition, relegating their influence on marginal, primarily technical roles. This article challenges this disconnection by arguing for an approach to law informed by evolutionary sciences—specifically, Evolutionary Analysis in Law (EAL)—as a key interdisciplinary paradigm. It posits that EAL operates across two complementary dimensions: a micro dimension, which employs behavioral biology, evolutionary anthropology, and primatology to elucidate legally relevant phenomena; and a macro dimension, which, in dialogue with autopoietic systems theory (Luhmann, Teubner), conceives the legal system as a structure that evolves in response to selective pressures from its environment. The article concludes by asserting that law is not merely an extraordinary counter-natural artifice, but rather an emerging, evolving technology—a manifestation of a tool shared by various social species—rendering its analysis from an evolutionary perspective highly relevant. Furthermore, it maintains that it is possible to speak of a contemporary concept of human nature (evolutionarily informed) that presents similarities as well as significant distinctions from the ideas proposed by Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau.Publicación Infancias marginadas e injusticia estructural : una mirada crítica desde la filosofía del derecho a las medidas de justicia distributiva que previenen el reclutamiento forzado de menores en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-02-18) Álvarez Quintero, Narly Julieth; Gaviria Mira, JuliánThe forced recruitment of minors in Colombia constitutes one of the most serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, as it involves the participation of children and adolescents in illegal armed groups through coercion, deception, or other forms of co-optation. Despite the existence of a robust regulatory framework and international commitments made by the State, this practice persists and even increased during 2024. The objective is to identify whether the distributive justice measures implemented in the Colombian legal system are sufficient to prevent this phenomenon. Using a qualitative methodology based on the analysis of documentary sources from the perspective of legal philosophy, the results offer a critical reflection that urges the Colombian State to reorient its efforts towards transforming the structural conditions that perpetuate the vulnerability and exposure of minors to armed actors.Publicación La conexidad competitiva entre los productos y/o servicios que identifican las marcas, como elemento fundamental para determinar la registrabilidad de una marca en Colombia : desafíos derivados de la ambigüedad de la interpretación y la subjetividad de la aplicación de los criterios sustanciales(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-10) Moreno, María José; Vélez Vásquez, Andrea; González López, Luis FelipeThe present paper pretends to analyze how the subjective application of the substantial and non-substantial competitive connectivity criteria, used in the registration process of trademarks in Colombia, can lead to inconsistencies in the decisions issued by the Colombian Trademark Office (CTO) and therefore, create a disincentive for people that are seeking to protect their intangible assets in the Country, since the ultimate decision of granting or denying a trademark in Colombia has become unpredictable. Throughout the present paper it will be determined and analyzed the substantial and non- substantial criteria, stablished by the Court of Justice of the Andean Community, which is used to identify the competitive connectivity between products and services that trademarks pretend to identify in the market and registry. Likewise, analyze resolutions regarding the competitive connectivity examination in order to illustrate the problematic addressed in this paper by comparing resolutions issued by the CTO in which, under the same parameters (the comparison between the same products and services in the market), there has been inconsistencies due to the subjective application of the aforementioned criteria in the registration process.Publicación Desigualdad digital en Colombia : análisis jurisprudencial y de políticas públicas sobre la reducción de la brecha tecnológica y el acceso a recursos digitales entre los años 2010 y 2020(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-12) Rojo Cogollo, Isabella Jhons; Correa Betancur, Juan José; Sánchez Vásquez, CarolinaPublicación La responsabilidad civil extracontractual frente al uso de DeepFakes : posibilidad de una respuesta interpretativa desde el derecho colombiano vigente(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-09-25) Ugarte Tapasco, Estefanía; Jung, Haein; Mejía Rico, EstebanDeepFake is an emerging technology that has great potential to cause harm to rights such as image, honor, or privacy, harms that could even materialize in economic damage. In Colombia there is no specific regulation addressing this phenomenon, which raises the following question: Under what liability regime could non-contractual civil liability be established for damages caused by the use of Deepfakes? This thesis examines the problem by considering the approaches adopted internationally and by identifying the mechanisms available under Colombia law for this purpose.Publicación Principio de la realidad sobre las formas : análisis y comprensión de sus ámbitos de aplicación en el derecho laboral(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-10-28) Rojas Valenzuela, María Alejandra; Piedrahita Vargas, CamiloThe present thesis focuses on analyzing a fundamental principle of labor law: the principle of the primacy of reality over formal appearances within Colombian labor law, with the purpose of understanding the different contexts in which it has been applied as a mechanism for the protection of workers. Among these contexts, particular attention is given to service contracts, positions of management, trust, and control, as well as salary-constituting payments. Likewise, this work seeks to examine whether, throughout the jurisprudential development of this principle by both the Labor Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court, it may be applied in favor of the employer or whether, on the contrary, its application is exclusively for the benefit of the worker.Publicación Medidas cautelares o de protección y apremio en los procesos ejecutivos de alimentos a favor de niños, niñas y adolescentes en Argentina y Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-13) Muñoz Carvajal, María Camila; Alzate Tobón, Laura DanielaPublicación Los criptoactivos en Colombia : fundamentos para su regulación y la protección de los usuarios(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-10-17) Cote Ramírez, Miguel; Agudelo Morales, SebastiánThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the importance and relevance of establishing regulation for crypto assets in Colombia, starting from a technical and legal analysis to determine whether crypto assets — specifically cryptocurrencies — are considered, under Colombian regulation, as foreign currency, financial assets, or commodities. Once the legal nature of these assets is established, the applicable type of regulation and its appropriate scope will be examined. The question of whether crypto assets should be regulated becomes increasingly relevant as the cryptocurrency market continues to develop and innovate to offer more products and services to individuals and businesses. It is estimated that more than 6.17 million people in Colombia, own cryptocurrencies (Statista). Given the high number of users — representing nearly 12% of the population —, it is essential to adopt responsible regulation to protect them. One of the key factors that make this analysis timely is that Colombia is the ninth country with the highest cryptocurrencies in the world, based on number of users and transaction volume. For instance, on the Buda.com platform, one of the most popular in Latin America, transaction volume in Colombia increased by 350% between 2019 and 2020, and the number of users rose by 125% in the same period. Additionally, the number of Colombian companies offering FinTech services related to crypto assets increased to 394 by June 2024. (Finnovista Fintech Radar Colombia). As adoption and usage grows, the discussion about regulating cryptocurrencies becomes more pressing. Such regulation should have a broad scope to address the diverse characteristics of cryptocurrencies, the services they offer, and the types of transactions users may carry out with them. Why regulate them? Regulation is necessary not only due to increased usage, transaction volume, related companies, and wide adoption among Colombians, but also because the underlying technology has proven efficient and resilient. After 16 years of existence and exponential growth in blockchain-based services, it is reasonable to assert that cryptocurrencies will continue to expand, much like the internet did two decades ago. Furthermore, for a country like Colombia, which seeks to attract foreign investment, enacting responsible regulation would be highly advantageous. It would not only provide legal security and guarantees for users but also foster an attractive environment for companies, encouraging the growth of this sector and the development of related technologies. In conclusion, the aim of this undergraduate thesis is to assess the viability of, and propose, a responsible regulatory framework that ensures certainty and protection for both users and companies engaging with cryptocurrencies.Publicación La protección jurídica de la gastronomía tradicional en Colombia a través de la propiedad industrial : caso de estudio la Lechona Tolimense(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-14) Méndez Ortiz, María Catalina; Correa Márquez, María CamilaThis research analyzes the legal possibilities for protecting traditional Colombian cuisine, with an emphasis on the case study of “lechona tolimense” as a representative example of typical dishes in the country. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the main applicable legal instruments, such as designation of origin (D.O.), trademarks in their various categories (collective, certification or country brand), and complementary figures such as the Colombian Gastronomic Seal and intangible cultural heritage. From a comparative law perspective, international mechanisms such as traditional specialties guaranteed (TSG) and geographical indications (GI) are also studied in order to identify good practices and strategies that can be replicated or adapted to the Colombian context. The analysis shows that, depending on the desired protection approach, Colombia has both industrial property and public law tools to support traditional gastronomic products and dishes. However, these concepts have been little explored and applied in relation to traditional cuisine, which limits their recognition, positioning, and preservation in national and international markets. It should also be noted that the protection of dishes should not be restricted solely to their name or designation through trademarks, but should also include the ancestral knowledge, techniques, and skills that determine their quality, identity, and cultural value. Finally, based on international experiences, it is proposed that Colombia should promote more robust initiatives to legally protect its gastronomic heritage, encouraging both the preservation of this knowledge and the local economic development and international positioning of national cuisine.Publicación Brechas en la eficacia del tratamiento integral para el acceso a los servicios médicos de reafirmación de género en el SGSSS colombiano : análisis del caso Griselda Giraldo por la insuficiencia del reconocimiento judicial del tratamiento integral para garantizar procedimientos de reafirmación de género(Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-14) Olano Fontalvo, Federico; Montoya Medina, Juan Pablo; Sánchez Vásquez, CarolinaThis undergraduate thesis examines the persistent gap between the judicial recognition of comprehensive health care and the effective access to gender-affirming medical services for trans persons in Colombia, within the framework of the General Health Social Security System. Despite the robust jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court protecting the rights to health, gender identity, and free development of personality, administrative barriers, discrimination, and the absence of unified medical protocols hinder the materialization of these rights. Through a case study of the “Griselda Giraldo” file, processed by the Legal Clinic of EAFIT University, this research identifies the reasons why judicial protection (constitutional protection action or 'tutela' action) often proves insufficient to ensure effective access to the necessary procedures. The study analyzes relevant case law, gender-affirming procedures and their connection with fundamental rights, as well as the problematic implications of this gap for the health and dignity of trans persons.
