Constitutionalization, Legality, Human Rights from Our Peoples of the South (I).
Time to formulate critical approaches to the shifts experienced and yet to be experienced in a law that is no longer Family Law in the singular, but in the plural: Family Law.
It’s time to formulate critical approaches to the shifts experienced and yet to be experienced in a law that is no longer Family Law in the singular, but in the plural: Family Law.
My intention is to provoke some reflection on the issues currently under debate in Family Law and Family Procedural Law.
Transformations in Family Law mean speaking, for example, of Private International Family Law. Families have lost their former predominance in an increasingly complex educational system, but the core of indisputable family sovereignty remains: the transmission of ethical values, socialization in relationships that are fostered within the family.
The support that constitutional norms should provide to guarantee the respect and protection that marriage and the family deserve is lacking in the majority of our Political Constitutions, not only from the known conventional and traditional perspective, but also in other types of family realities.
Today there is a need to elevate family law to constitutional status, not just the law of a single type of family.
