Publicación El hecho exclusivo del agente : evolución jurisprudencial y problemáticas en la responsabilidad extracontractual del Estado colombiano(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-26) Ochoa López, Alejandro; Villa García, FelipePublicación Análisis de la claridad de lenguaje en las órdenes de archivo de la Fiscalía General de la Nación Seccional de Medellín : implicaciones en el acceso a la justicia y el derecho a comprender(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-26) Ricardo Bracamonte, Moisés David; López Macias, Pablo; Franco Daza, Juan DavidThis paper explores the relationship between the effective communication demanded from citizens' exercise of their rights. Taking several archive orders issued by the Attorney General's Office (Medellín Branch) as a case study, the reflections presented here propose a theoretical and practical view focused on the right to understand. It is argued that the clarity of the language is not a secondary element, but an essential guarantee for the effective enjoyment of other more developed constitutional rights, such as access to justice and information. Based on these findings, this research seeks to lay an empirical foundation to encourage critical discussion in the academic and legal community about how the linguistic configuration of these decisions affects, and often blocks, communication with the user.Publicación La gestación subrogada en Colombia : análisis crítico desde la dignidad humana y el derecho contractual(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-26) Puentes Castro, Camila Andrea; López López, TatianaThis monograph analyzes surrogacy from its different perspectives and challenges in relation to human dignity within a legal and ethical context framed by contract law. Human dignity is a fundamental principle enshrined in the Colombian Constitution that demands respect for the fundamental rights of all subjects involved in the surrogacy process, which include the gestational mother, the intended parents, and the nasciturus 5 (the unborn child/children). The main objective of this research is to analyze the different perspectives on surrogacy in Colombia, including how human dignity and autonomy of the will are implicated in this process, and how the lack of regulation may violate the rights of the parties, especially the rights of the gestational mother and the unborn child. This research argues that the protection of human dignity implies ensuring that surrogacy is carried out ethically, avoiding exploitation, and securing the protection of all parties' rights. From a legal perspective, there are gaps since it is not regulated in Colombia and other countries. To this extent, Judgment T-968 of 2009 is taken as a basis, where the Constitutional Court first defined surrogacy in Colombia. However, the jurisprudence falls short of protecting the autonomy and dignity of the gestational mother, which leads to its analysis from a contractual perspective. Furthermore, from a juridical-bioethical perspective, human dignity is conceived as a fundamental principle that demands respect for the autonomy, integrity, and inherent rights of every person, especially in contexts involving reproductive decisions. This conception guides the interpretation and application of norms, ensuring that the legal framework aligns with the values of equality, justice, and the protection of fundamental rights. This paper argues that the lack of regulation of surrogacy in Colombia could violate the protection of the rights of the unborn child in terms of determining filiation (legal parentage) and the protection of the nasciturus's rights through surrogacy. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the protection of the rights of the child conceived through this process, 6 as well as to consider the autonomy and dignity of the gestational mother, avoiding any form of exploitation.Publicación Responsabilidad patrimonial del Estado derivada de la subasta inversa : implicaciones jurídicas en el marco de la contratación pública(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-14) Patiño Gallón, María José; Díaz Díez, Cristian AndrésState liability, according to Article 90 of Colombian Political Constitution of 1991, imposes upon the State the obligation to provide reparation for unlawful damages attributable to the acts or omissions of public authorities. Within the field of public procurement, this mandate acquires particular significance not only during the contractual performance stage, but also in the pre-contractual phase, given the emergence of legitimate expectations and legally protected interests that arise prior to the execution of the contract and warrant judicial protection. The purpose of this article is to examine and explain State liability arising from the use of reverse auctions under the simplified selection modality, as conducted by entities subject to the General Public Procurement Statute. To this end, the study provides a conceptual framework on reverse auctions, State liability, and pre-contractual liability. It further analyzes the constituent elements of State liability and identifies the economic implications that may arise during the pre-contractual stage when a reverse auction is conducted, as well as their relationship with the State’s patrimonial liability. Finally, the article offers a set of reflections on the topic addressed and recommendations for the prevention and mitigation of unlawful damage for public entities during the pre-contractual stage of the reverse auction.Publicación El desistimiento tácito en procesos ejecutivos y su impacto en las garantías procesales : análisis jurisprudencial del Tribunal Superior de Medellín (2024-2026)(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-04-30) Macea Díaz, Melanny Paola; Díaz Cuesta, Gabriel Mateo; Gonzales Jaramillo, José LuisPublicación La propiedad privada frente a la presunción uniforme del interés general en la Declaratoria de Utilidad Pública e Interés Social (DUPIS) y su ponderación en la expropiación minera en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-04-04) Palacio Giraldo, Mariana; Muñoz Robledo, Camilo Ernesto; Arango Duque, CamiloThis monograph examines the Declaration of Public Utility and Social Interest (DUPIS) in the colombian mining industry, established by Article 13 of Law 685 of 2001 (Mining Code), which uniformly attributes the condition of public utility and social interest to all mining activity, thereby enabling the imposition of easements and the expropriation of private property without distinction based on the type of mineral, the scale of the project, or the purpose of the exploitation. Through a historical analysis of the colombian mining regime from colonial patrimonialism and regalism to the consolidation of the current concession-based model the constitutional foundations of extractive activity and the instruments for limiting private property rights are identified. The research applies the principle of proportionality, following the theoretical framework of Robert Alexy and Carlos Bernal Pulido, to demonstrate that the uniform presumption of general interest generates legal asymmetries by equating projects with substantially different degrees of collective benefit. A graduated approach to the public interest is proposed, based on the strategic relevance of the mineral, the intensity of social return, and the proportionality between the burden imposed on the property owner and the effective benefit to society. The study is complemented by a comparative law analysis with the United States of America, following the methodology of Mauro Cappelletti, which shows that an automatic declaration of public utility is not an indispensable condition for mining development, and that the colombian legal system can move toward an individualized balancing model that ensures the effective protection of property rights without disregarding the general interest of extractive activity.Publicación Salario mínimo : estudio sobre el cumplimiento de su finalidad protectora de los trabajadores dependientes, y su impacto frente a los demas actores de la sociedad colombiana(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-04-09) Medina Arango, Santiago; Gutiérrez Gómez, Sara; Valencia González, JulianaPublicación La responsabilidad del Estado por errores arbitrales : análisis jurisprudencial y legal en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano y perspectivas de los árbitros(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-04-09) Múnera Peláez, Luisa; Arbeláez Escobar, Juan José; Gómez Velásquez, AlejandroHowever, Law 270 raises doubts as to whether errors of this nature, when contained in an arbitral award rather than a court judgment, can give rise to a direct action for damages in which the State is the defendant. For a time, the Council of State maintained that a systematic reading of Law 270 led to the conclusion that the State is liable in these cases, given that Article 74 stipulates that these rules also apply to those who “temporarily exercise or participate in the exercise of the jurisdictional function.” However, this interpretation tends to disregard the voluntary nature of arbitration and can transform the State into a guarantor of an activity it is not called upon to oversee but merely authorizes. In this context, the Council of State, in its October 2025 ruling, departed from this precedent and concluded that it is not viable to sue the State in these cases; rather, the claim must be directed against the arbitrator who issued the erroneous award.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.

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.
