En este episodio Edgardo Sobenes conversa con la Dra. Federica Paddeu sobre el Texto de Artículos sobre la Responsabilidad del Estado por Hechos Internacionalmente Ilícitos. La Doctora inicia el episodio comentando el trabajo de la Comisión de Derecho Internacional de Naciones Unidas, la estructura de los Artículos, y su estatus legal. Nos habla sobre las reglas primarias y secundarias, sobre la atribución y violación de obligaciones internacionales, y las circunstancias que excluyen la ilicitud.Posteriormente se refiere a dos malentendidos comunes en el campo de la responsabilidad internacional de los Estados: (i) la afirmación de que una conducta justificada constituye una violación del derecho internacional y (ii) la caracterización legal de una conducta justificada como "ilegal con ilicitud excluida”, o no ilícita. Finaliza el episodio compartiendo sus reflexiones sobre el futuro de los Artículos, los distintos escenarios posibles,  y el papel que están jugando los países de América Latina en el proceso que se espera concluya con la adopción de un Tratado.Membresía del Podcast  https://www.hablemosdi.com/contenido-premiumAcerca de Dra.

​In this episode, Dr Rachel Killean, Prof. Chris McCrudden and Ms Boravin Tann discuss some of the challenges associated with defining human dignity and what they have learned so far about the concept's diverse meanings in Cambodia. Since its inclusion in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1949, ‘human dignity' has become a foundational human rights concept. It can be found in international human rights documents, in judicial reasoning in multiple jurisdictions and increasingly in the context of sustainable development programmes around the world. Yet, what human dignity means in practice is by no means so obvious. In fact, understandings of what human dignity requires are often widely varied and contested. In this episode, Dr Rachel Killean, Prof. Chris McCrudden and Ms Boravin Tann dig into some of these complexities. Reflecting on their recent research project ‘Locating Human Dignity in Cambodia', they discuss some of the challenges associated with defining human dignity and what they have learned so far about the concept's diverse meanings in Cambodia. Dr Rachel Killean is a Senior Lecturer in the Queen's School of Law and the Principal Investigator on the ‘Locating Human Dignity in Cambodia' project.
