En el presente artículo se presenta como posible y necesario el emprender la configuración de un derecho penal internacional, en tanto que saber, cuya tarea sea la de limitar el ejercicio del poder punitivo y de esa manera propenda por la vigencia real de los derechos humanos, para lo cual se han de diferenciar las nociones de poder punitivo internacional, legislación penal internacional y derecho penal de igual naturaleza, planteándose luego unas pautas generales y particulares de ese sistema de derecho penal internacional. Lo anterior, a fin de brindar una vigencia real de los derechos humanos, o lo que es lo mismo, el bien real y pleno de la persona. ; In this article, it is proposed as possible and necessary to undertake the configuration of an international criminal law, while knowing, whose task be to limit the exercise of punitive power, this way tending for the real validity of human rights; for it, one has to distinguish the concepts of international punitive power, international criminal legislation and criminal law of the same nature. Presenting afterwards general and specific guidelines of that system of international criminal law. The above, in order to provide a real validity of human rights, or what is the same, the real and full wellbeing of the people.
The past and current criminal policy in the EU presents, like it does in many Member States, serious shortcomings, such as the extension of the Law and Order approach, expansion of Criminal Law, legislative improvisation, the continuous over-criminalisation and raising of penalties, subordination of substantive Criminal Law to police and judicial cooperation and technocratisation and petrification of criminal standards. For a long time, the continuous focus only on competence problems and effectiveness criteria –to strengthen the principle of mutual trust and improve judicial and police cooperation in criminal matters- did not contributed greatly to the formation of a more rational substantive Criminal Law. To sum up, all these shortcomings often end up causing an over-criminalisation and homogenisation of the diverse national criminal legal systems in terms of greater punitive rigor, increasingly infringing fundamental principles. Criminal lawyers and also other academic disciplines must address these problems by setting up mechanisms that could help to reduce or eliminate the current EU criminal policy rationality defects. Taking into account that many of the above-mentioned shortcomings of EU criminal policy could reasonably result from a lack of rationality in the EU criminal decision-making process, paying more attention to science of law-making and legislative procedures within the European Union would certainly be a good start. In the last few years we have seen an increase of interest in the study of Criminal Law-making processes as a way of improving law quality. There have been efforts to contribute to a more rational approach from different perspectives. Sometimes appealing to widely accepted concepts, such as legal interest, or important principia (proportionality, legality, subsidiarity, ultima ratio…). Despite the large importance of such works, none of them have the potentiality to support all the rationality contents needed for a European Criminal Law that provides all possible guarantees and complies with fundamental principles and legal safeguards. For these reasons I argue in favour to make a new and more comprehensive approach, focusing in the stage of creation of the laws. The proposal is to adopt a law rationality model –based in the previous works of Prof. Atienza and Prof. Díez Ripollés- that could act as guideline for EU law-makers. The law rationality model proposed aims to be an ambitious instrument to provide rationality criteria for the creation of law. It has 5 levels (ethic rationality, teleological rationality, pragmatic rationality, systematic rationality and linguistic rationality). Thus, a criminal provision can be said to be irrational when it does not comply with any of these levels of rationality. It is a great challenge but also would be of interest to adapt this theoretic model to the European stage. In my view it would be able to contribute to the creation of a more rational and guarantee-based EU criminal policy and to overcome the current fragmentary approach to substantive Criminal Law in the EU. ; Universidad de Málaga.

En esta colección de historias, César Augusto Tapias Hernández nos abre una ventana al mundo de su familia, un retrato vívido, polícromo, a veces violento y otras veces lleno de calor humano, que continuamente enlaza el pathos con el humor. Etnógrafo por excelencia, César intenta franquear la brecha inestable entre la etnografía y la ficción al compartir con sus lectores una serie de encuentros etnográficos elaborados en forma de cuentos, resaltando de esta manera no solo las condiciones en las cuales viven estas personas del sector popular antioqueño y sus narraciones, sino también sus sentimientos: tanto de los narradores como del etnógrafo, este último siendo más que un investigador. En este libro, César no toma la distancia generalmente asumida por los científicos sociales, sino que funciona como un preguntón cariñoso que está ubicado dentro del círculo familiar. Esta es la segunda etapa de la invitación que nos hace César a compartir su familia con nosotros. Hace tres años publicó Fumando mañas, una exploración auto etnográfica de un expendio de drogas en Medellín, ubicado en la casa de sus primos. En ese libro, César experimenta con varias formas de exposición y nos ofrece fragmentos de observación etnográfica yuxtapuestos con dibujos hechos por sus familiares y diálogos con la Cucha, sus primos y primas, y otras personas allegadas a la casa - Leysy, Malena, El Mocho, La Chava, El Pili Y otros-o Suplementa esta riqueza de miradas, que a veces son cristalinas y a veces ambiguas, con contextualizaciones históricas y sociológicas, cerrando el libro con un análisis muy astuto de la violencia de la vida cotidiana de esta familia paisa. ; In this collection of stories, César Augusto Tapias Hernández opens a window to the world of his family, a vivid, polychrome portrait, sometimes violent and other times full of human warmth, which continually links pathos with humor. An ethnographer par excellence, César tries to bridge the unstable gap between ethnography and fiction by sharing with his readers a series of ethnographic encounters elaborated in the form of stories, thus highlighting not only the conditions in which these people from the popular sector of Antioquia live and his narratives, but also his feelings: both the narrators and the ethnographer, the latter being more than a researcher. In this book, Cesar does not take the distance generally assumed by social scientists, but functions as a loving questioner who is located within the family circle. This is the second stage of Cesar's invitation to share his family with us. Three years ago he published Fumando mañas, an auto-ethnographic exploration of a drug store in Medellín, located in the house of his cousins. In this book, César experiments with various forms of exhibition and offers us fragments of ethnographic observation juxtaposed with drawings made by his relatives and dialogues with La Cucha, his cousins and cousins, and other people close to the house - Leysy, Malena, El Mocho , La Chava, El Pili Y otros-o Supplements this wealth of views, which are sometimes crystalline and sometimes ambiguous, with historical and sociological contextualizations, closing the book with a very astute analysis of the violence of the daily life of this Paisa family.
